Somebody give me the rundown on the back and forth with this fricking missile, what's the fricking deal?
Ukraine already has storm shadow missiles, why don't they just use them to blow up bridges and refineries?
In the end it's down to luck anyway, either the missile gets intercepted by zigger AA or it doesnt.
Isn't it more important to give the ukies a plane that can actually get the missile into range?

There was one (1) thing that big H was right about.
Right at the end of the war, when he realized it was over, he allegedly said something to the effect of "it doesn't matter if the German people are wiped out, the best have already died"
He was right, his war and the fact that it followed directly on from WW1, effectively erased bravery, assertiveness and national spirit from the German gene pool.
They are a broken race, artificially selected for cowardice, meekness and weakness.
You are moronic and should take your pills
Time proved him right on that one.

It's bizarre seeing the modern German, knowing the stories my Great Grandfather told about the ones he dealt with in the first world war. He oversaw PoWs in France. Described them as jovial, brave, and in good spirits no matter the hand they'd been dealt.
At a time they were considered hardy, sociable, and intelligent. They're so different from the servile, sniveling autistics that infest the country today.
I can only assume that the war killed all the good men, and the slav rapes replaced them with genetic slime.
The mordern german you know lives in large cities. The countryfolk are still like that. I'd argue that further doen south in germany the people are more relaxed and less autistic about rules. What I noticed when I visited Cologne recently is the bizarre road rage tendencies of germans.
Everyone is in a fricking hurry, kids get nearly oneshot on the sidewalk or crossings and punishments for vehicular mabslaughter are fricking nothing.
One dude killed a girl and was only charged 8 years later because the DA was anal about some law rules.

the exact opposite is true you walnut

>Somebody give me the rundown on the back and forth with this fricking missile, what's the fricking deal?
the utter insane obsession to destroy the kerch bridge left town with nuland
thats basically it
the whole taurus debacle was hemming and hawing about attack kerch bridge
>Somebody give me the rundown on the back and forth with this fricking missile, what's the fricking deal?
In the leaked Luftwaffe conversation, they mention how a few dozen of these would be needed to deal any kind of damage to the Crimean bridge, and even that would serve no military purpose. So it's a PR exercise, essentially.
>Ukraine already has storm shadow missiles, why don't they just use them to blow up bridges and refineries?
There's a limited amount of them, their production rate is anemic at best, and they've been rendered largely ineffective against Russian AA and EW. Take latest missile attack on Crimea for instance, a complete failure.
>In the end it's down to luck anyway,
Hence why you need a lot of them, launched simultaneously in huge salvos, in a prolonged air campaign. That means you also need a lot of aircraft. Talking hundreds.
>Isn't it more important to give the ukies a plane that can actually get the missile into range?
It's also important to have trained pilots, maintenance crews and special runways for those planes. Neither exist in the Ukrane. And the planes that are being considered right now are 40+ year old airframes more outdated than the Soviet Su-27s the Ukraine already had.
the f16s exist MERELY to pose the threat of the of slining a JDAM-er equipped gravity nuke, which the ones ukraine is getting were sourced precisely for that model, to make precisely this threat
it has the kit to handle nukes pre-installed
>they've been rendered largely ineffective against Russian AA and EW
S-300/S-400 in Crimea fail to detect Storm Shadow missile’s flying over them and Russians manning the air defence battery film it.
Neat. I wonder if a hit on their command vehicle or radar made everyone shit their pants and start running.
This is underrated footage, that's actually fricking amazing.
Did a harm or another SS delete the local radar and that's why they're fleeing their vehicles? Did the Russian AA just not work? We just don't know.
Aren't the S-300 and S-400 designed for long range interception? If the missile hugs the ground and avoids all the other sensors of the GBAD network and manages to get that close, it'd be too late for them to engage anyway.
>a few dozen of these would be needed to deal any kind of damage to the Crimean bridge, and even that would serve no military purpose
If you slash your opponent's jugular, he wins.
You are a delusional moron

Soviet psyops doing their work to this day, that's literally it.
Ukies can operate it by themselves, Ukies have shown to obey Western imposed handicaps, Ukies do have long range missile strike capabilities via Stormshadow. Yes.
>ukies can operate it by themselves, ukies have shown to obey Western imposed handicaps, ukies do have long range missile strike capabilities via Stormshadow. Yes.
no they cant you stupid ignorant dumb frick
ukraine has ZERO defense satellites ZERO
it can provide ZERO targeting data on its own ZERO
NONE
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
>ukraine has no satellites
and these missiles, to have any hope at all of hitting a fricking bridge need an ocean of sat/nav data provided to them up to the moment of impact if possible
Why even post you fricking moron, Taurus, like other serious missiles, doesn't rely on man in the loop controls. Ukies need coordinates, target model for the imaging sensor and maybe a tercom track. All could be done by Ukies. Kraut objection is that missile programming is so hard it can only be done by trained germans iirc.
BROACH warhead can easily destroy or severely damage the piers, and the ideal case of destroying the suspended part would easily take months to repair
>ukies need coordinates
provided by GPS you shit brain
That is not the Kraut objection what they say is that they would have to provide targeting data that goes way beyond GPS and that that would directly involve the German military in the conflict.
Which is complete bullshit.
Because you have intimate knowledge of how these things are programmed?
>it's SOOOOOO difficult only Krauts can do it!!
Pull the other one, it's got zwei berliners on
Do you not remember the leaked Luftwaffe calls?
they literally talked about it taking a few weeks to teach ukies the basics and another few months for them to master it
The Claim that only Luftwaffe personnel can do it is just made-up bullshit by Scholz and his buddies
They also said France and UK are Winchester on CMs and that attacking the Kerch Bridge would take too many Taurus to make it viable. If the claim regarding SS/SCALP are true, sending German CMs makes zero sense.
Well, sort of. Programming the terminal imaging and the TERCOM track probably requires experts. French and Brits had no issues providing this support but germans have autism
Are you illiterate
>Are you illiterate
are you, you shit brain?
where do you think the coordinates for a fricking bridge attack come from?
no less a "mass attack" with fricking dozens of taurus?;
>durrrrr it will just use tercom, all 20+ of them even!

>Germany is just not as capable as UK and France okay!!
I accept your concession
sure thing, keep us posted
Are you just pretending to be moronic? I can't even tell whose side you are on. This might come as a surprise to you since you are either a child or some illiterate third-worlder, but the locations of bridges down to the centimeter are in fact pretty well known, and you can just buy satellite imaging these days.
And again, needing German experts to produce the mission plan with whatever secret kraut software they have is what Scholz deemed unacceptable. Ukrainians are very capable of obtaining all the information required.
>I can't even tell whose side you are on
objective reality, thats what "side" im on shit brain
>but the locations of bridges down to the centimeter are in fact pretty well known
turns out, they arent. certainly not for a fricking long range cruise missile strike, that will have to rely on INS or God knows what else when the E-war starts hitting it.
>you can just buy satellite imaging these days.
lmfao, no you cant you shit brain,
you absolutely cannot "buy" GPS data-suites complex enough to program cruise missile strikes off fricking ebay
GPS is purposely designed to prevent exactly this scenario. exactly precisely this scenario
>And again, needing German experts to produce the mission plan with whatever secret kraut software they have is what Scholz deemed unacceptable
because it obviously and undeniably uses military grade GPS data to program the route and strike points
>ukrainians are very capable of obtaining all the information required.
they absolutely fundamentally, objectively are NOT capable of doing this, in any way shape or form
ukraine does not have defense or 'navigation/targeting' satellites, not one, thus it MUST rely on ISR supplied to it from 3rd parties 100% of the time
You have no idea what you are talking about, commercial GPS modules are used in long range missile strikes every single day with the Shahed's and whatever Ukies are throwing at Russian refineries. There is no special military grade GPS data, you are seemingly mistaking this for the M-code, to program a missile like this they need the coordinates for the waypoints, terrain elevation information for TERCOM and some synthetic images for the imaging seeker. This information can be obtained without secret squirrel speshul NATO sats, but what they can't do is compile it to a program for the missile without kraut help.
And for the record, GPS is designed to prevent illegitimate use in ballistic missiles, not cruise missiles, COCOM limits have zero effect here
>shit brain keeps spilling his repulsive shit all over the floor
if what you said was even remotely true, the bridge would be LONG gone, and every single last himars would have been used on it for as long as it took
big difference between SPS and PPS
like 3ft vs 300ft
so no shit brain
without nato satellites, ukraine ISR is completely dead outside of what it collects the old fashioned way, IRL
So you were talking about the M-code, amazing. Might want to check the range on HIMARS by the way.
>So you were talking about the M-code
not specifically no, it was merely an example.
im stating the objective reality that ukraine has no native access to the GPS data suites necessary to coordinate a cruise missile salvo strike on a bridge sized target, because it does not own or operate satellite ISR assets
Explain Storm Shadow punching holes in small submarines then.
>Explain Storm Shadow punching holes in small submarines then.
im going to go out on a limb that those ALLLLLLLLL those pylons are a bit smaller broadside than a submarine
i never said anything about M-code shit brain, you did. I said if ukraine had access to the targeting data is so desperately wants, the kerch bridge would have been saturated by himars long before the hedgehog or taurus were in the conversation
>pylons
multiple missiles hitting the bridge spans could still collapse the pillars. all it needs is for four or five to get through in one roughly contiguous zone
>if ukraine had access to the targeting data is so desperately wants, the kerch bridge would have been saturated by himars long before the hedgehog or taurus were in the conversation
the biggest GMLRS warhead type is only 90kg; Storm Shadow has a 400kg two-stage penetrating BROACH warhead. Ukraine probably wants an attack that will put out the bridge for good in one single blow, because they might take heavy jet casualties in the process and any subsequent re-attacks will be murder as the Russians will heavily reinforce the air defences; hence, the juice needs to be worth the squeeze and only one successful attack can pull it off. that is why HIMARS bombardments are not feasible.
there is no targeting excuse at all, Krauts are just dragging their feet as they have for the past two-plus years
Yet again, access to M-code GPS and access to centimeter precision geoinformation are a different thing, you can just buy the latter these days.
Damn you are dumb.
not an argument shit brain
>Two morons arguing about using a 1000lb bomb on reinforced concrete bridge
Jesus anons, what you going to argue about next, the effectiveness of 22lr vs. a humvee?
Taurus is a specialised weapon designed to precisley hit relatively small and only moderatly armoured high value targets from long range, which is its value to Ukraine.
Think s300s/400, officers, EW, a50, radars, command posts, refineries.
There are much better and more interesting ways to take down the Kerch Bridge.
>Two morons arguing about using a 1000lb bomb on reinforced concrete bridge
i never once said that shit brain
kerch bridge attacks are the utterly fricking stupid obsession of toria nuland, paramount of reasons, because ukraine has no ability what-so-ever to self-supply the requisite targeting data a tauras salvo, let alone 1
>See those slim, underwater, difficult to repair concrete piles that it's built on?
no where are those?
the bridge is built like a fricking lego-tank,
built to be resistant to exactly such attacks

>So it would be a propaganda target and not much else?
at *this* point in the conflict,
absolutely
>pic related
the bridge was built like a fricking brick shit-house
its far far larger than most 'westerners' probably realize, and large portions are even on "land"
it would basically take a tactical-nuke tier sized munition to do any level of damage to "condemn" the bridge outright
Hm. So Taurus Missiles couldrather be worth it if they were used to target russian artillery Command posts instead?
Are we still pretending to be moronic? It's not a 1000lb surface burst, it's a penetrator warhead that can be fuzed to detonate inside the bridge pier.
>silly hohol, powerful pussian bridge is of quantum grid square
You're like a child repeating a joke but not actually understanding it.
Multiple missiles need to hit multiple individual pillars anon. To account for non-zero CEP you need to fire salvos of multiple munitions. Each one has to have a mission profile programmed, and probably need to impact in a small time frame so that whatever air defense capabilities that russians have cannot be mobilized to shoot down relatively slow moving with now well known targets and trajectories. It needs tens of aircraft being used, you need EW assets and escorts to cover for them, etc. It is a big fricking deal.
Pic related, severely damaging or dropping the arch is the ideal target, and requires the destruction of only a few of the reinforced concrete piers. The arch cannot be rapidly repaired with e.g. a bridgelayer because it's 200 meters long, and it cannot be fixed by pontooning or building more piers because the gap has to stay open for naval traffic. The shorter sections Russians can repair fast, took them weeks to months to fix the truck bomb, but not this one.
Is it a hard and well defended target? Sure, but it is a pretty obvious high value target and definitely killable. Even just threatening the bridge with missiles would be good to draw AA away from other locations
those piers are very thick with a robust base, and both spans look quite solid. I'd bet you'd need to completely collapse the arches by destroying the piers at either end to take it out, I bet the road segments could be replaced rapidly otherwise
and those columns are sturdy. definitely possible but I can see why they need several big boys, especially because you NEED to be sure you get the job done so you need redundancy in the strike
They just handle the launch part, UK does the targeting and in flight adjustments
>UK does the targeting and in flight adjustments
Just this once, the bongs are okay. I understand the politics of it, I have a degree in the field, but some part of the word magic behind all this nonsense still does my head in.
A bong can build the missile, plan the route, make the tweaks and paint a fricking smiley face on the front of the thing if he really wants, but as long as it's technically a Ukrainian pressing the big red button we don't have WW3.
Russia has nukes.
UK has nukes.
but Germany doesn't have nukes.
Russia can bully Germany but not the UK.
Germany has economy, Russia doesn't.
Russia also really, really fricking doesn't want to pick a fight with NATO. They can barely handle Ukraine and start losing ground when they're tossed enough hardware. The only two outcomes of a war with NATO is a nuclear exchange or getting their shit completely kicked in. Both are bad news.
If they really wanted to they could totally come up with a justification to start that war right now.
I don't think Germany fully appreciates that fact. Not much short of a NATO country's serviceman t-bagging a Russian soldier he just shot on video could really 'force' escalation to that point if nobody actually wants it.
the mong you're replying to really thinks that Boris Johnson is behind the lines providing targeting coordinates to the AFU like Tomorrow Never Dies
To me, I see that if if Kerch Bridge has to be destroyed, it must destroyed in a way it'll take years (yes, plural) for it to be repaired (past attempts simply ended with the bridge repaired), dooming the Russian forces in Crimea.
>it must destroyed in a way it'll take years (yes, plural)
>years (yes, plural)
Black person, it took Russia three years to build it from scratch.
The frick are you proposing, making a dent in the sea floor?
If it took three years to build, then make the damage so bad that it'll take five years at least to repair. Surely that's enough time to put pressure on the Russian forces in Crimea to either think of surrendering or fleeing to the ishtmus connecting Crimea to Ukraine proper, where it'll be a bloody retreat if they're spotted by Ukrainian forces from Kherson.
>If it took three years to build, then make the damage so bad that it'll take five years at least to repair.

Bunker buster missiles such as Storm Shadow and Taurus, and in future Tomahawk Block V.
AGM-154C JSOW could do it too but it's a glide bomb so it has less range.

JDAM, JSOW, JASSM, it's just one J too far for my brain
Anon, we are talking about ~150 cm thick steel columns, not concrete. They are submerged, the water will disperse the blast effect and the BROACH warhead was designed for concrete structures and not to dive underwater in one piece and drill through huge steel columns. You are essentially trying to slash away at the supports of a your house with scalpels to bring it down.
Yeah ok armchair general settle down
>To me, I see that if if Kerch Bridge has to be destroyed, it must destroyed in a way it'll take years (yes, plural) for it to be repaired (past attempts simply ended with the bridge repaired), dooming the Russian forces in Crimea.
>If it took three years to build, then make the damage so bad that it'll take five years at least to repair
lmfao, kerch bridge was built exactly precisely for this preclusion
it is in modular segments, at high intervals, that are designed to be easily repaired, QUICKLY in such an even of an attack
if you had 100 tauras
or 100 stormshadow the hedgehog, you still coudlnt keep it down for any meaningful amount of time, factoring in attrition in the strike-attempt
And not even crashing an airliner into it would do enough damage to force years of repairs?
>And not even crashing an airliner into it would do enough damage to force years of repairs?
lol no?
calculate the fuel on board and convert it to the explosive impact of a taurus barrage, and you have your answer
it doesnt matter what hits it outside of a nuke
the bridge was built like legos exactly for the purpose of enduring attacks and being quickly repaired if one happens
how long did it go down for before?
>how long did it go down for before
8 hours. Took awhile for things to cool down enough to get a crew on it.
Just fricking bomb the people trying to rebuild it.
Laying any new foundation or whatever is needed to rebuild the bridge? Boom, Sea Baby into it. Cruise missile into the construction equipment. Just fricking bomb them so they won't get any silly ideas. But the cucky West won't supply us with Total TZD(better than regular TZD, I know this is a bit of an ATM machine situation but it sounds cooler that way), also known as Total And Utter Russia Undoing Set - Kill Every Pidor Dead 350.
if you can strike the bridge regularly such that you can prevent repairs being effected then you don't need to destroy the bridge anymore because you've already rendered it useless as a supply line. if every day it was being struck even by 120mm mortar fire on the top deck it would be basically useless
Maybe the bridge shouldn't be the objective then. Maybe it should be the repair crews facilities and equipment doing the repairs, including maritime facilities, then when the bridge is blown up in segments, nobody would be there to fix it. The bridge is a valid military target and whoever is fixing said bridge is a valid target
No? Why the frick would it?
You'd damage, maybe, 10 bridge segments if you are lucky. There are about 300 segments in total. It took Russians two years to build these 300 segments in the first place. Simple math suggests that it takes three to four weeks to rebuild these 10 segments, even if they are completely destroyed.
I'm not even sure why is it hard for you to comprehend. Like, sure, they are at war, logistics and workforce are kinda stretched, maybe they will work twice as slow and it would take two months. Maybe even three. But how the frick do you plan to delay the repairs for years?
>Just fricking bomb the people trying to rebuild it.
With what bombs exactly?
According to the recent leaked call, Germans believe it might take about 5% of all the Taurus missiles ever produced to knock out a single segment of the bridge - in perfect conditions, with no misses, no malfunctions, no AA and no risks for the jets launching these.
I mean, sure, if you keep spending all the Western gibes trying to destroy the Kerch bridge and prevent if from being rebuilt, you'll do it. I have a feeling Russia would much appreciate this autistic waste of resources while they are supplying Crimea via the land corridor.
>Simple math suggests that it takes three to four weeks to rebuild these 10 segments
When you have a crew working solidly for years and all the logistics for them, they get things done faster. ad-hoc repairing a few segments is harder and takes longer. to put it in /k/ terms: once you shut down the tank manufacturing facility, it doesn't matter how many tanks you could produce a month before. you need to spin up a new facility. You need to go through the process of spinning the process up again.
Lots of people in this thread are missing the key part: taking out the roadway is quite easy to repair, taking out structural supports would take months minimum. one or two supports over the span they might be able to bandaid for light traffic while the repairs are made, more than that and it's out of action for quite a while.
>words words words
you simply dont get it do you?
the bridge has modular construction, that is literally designed to be quickly and easily repaired, at any point on the structure.
this isnt the west
there isnt a 2 year lead time, and $3.6billion contract to replace damaged bridge sections
so even if you fired every single stormshado the hedgehog or taurus at it, it still probably wouldnt take it out, just by sheer size of the bridge alone, and the difficulty of actually targeting pylons of which there are FRICK TON for this bridge
Why don't they target the rail depots and the less replaceable infrastructure that services the bridge? I understand that tracks aren't hard to replace. Depots, junctions, control stations? Are those not less repairable?
>Depots
just easily-repairable rail
>junctions
just easily-repairable rail
>control stations
a panel with some buttons that turn lights on and off
>Are those not less repairable?
yes
rail systems are incredibly low-tech and robust, low-tech enough that even the russians mastered them a century ago, and robust enough that even the soviets were able to keep them running fairly reliably.
the AFU has more targets than they have bombs for
But that’s not what they said in the leak. What they said was that they likely would need more than one missile per pillar and how many they would at max be willing/able to provide.
Have you read/listened to the leak? The issue in case of bridge strikes would be that the Krauts would have to provide the IR data in order to achieve sufficient precision to reliably hit the pillars. They discuss various means of delivering the data packages to Ukraine, including physically driving them across borders.
You are correct in the sense that if they just wanted to use it against depots and the likes, Ukrainians would be able to program the missiles after a relatively short training period because that would just require GPS data.
>But that’s not what they said in the leak. What they said was that they likely would need more than one missile per pillar and how many they would at max be willing/able to provide.
Can you provide a quote for "maybe more than one missile per pillar"?
Because what I see is this:
>Fenske: I would like to add something regarding the destruction of the bridge. We've been intensely studying this issue, and unfortunately, we've come to the conclusion that due to its size, the bridge is akin to a runway. Therefore, it may require more than 10, or even 20 missiles. They would only be able to create a hole and damage the bridge.
The centre span is not quickly replaceable
the 'fire all your guns at once' conversation
how about you blow one section today
give the russkies a week to fix
then blow another section
repeat
no need to destroy the bridge at all
the objective is to render it unasable
>To me, I see that if if Kerch Bridge has to be destroyed, it must destroyed in a way it'll take years (yes, plural) for it to be repaired (past attempts simply ended with the bridge repaired), dooming the Russian forces in Crimea.
The russians can get a couple of double ender car and rail ferries for the strait. There are already one landing quay on each side. The Krech bridge is like the Öresund bridge, it reduces travel time for convenience, it is not necessary for the supply of goods.
Because Ukraine has shown it has no capability to strike slow moving vessels full of munitions in the Black Sea and Sea of Azov.
Russia controls the Azov Sea now. If the bridge gets destroyed they can still supply and/or evacuate Crimea by ship. The bridge is more convenient and efficient but its loss wouldn't spell certain doom for Russia's hold on Crimea.
>If the bridge gets destroyed they can still supply and/or evacuate Crimea by ship.
But what ships does Russia still have left to supply their forces in Crimea? And even then, sink them too and those don't need fancy missiles.
*how small their gains
>If the bridge gets destroyed they can still supply and/or evacuate Crimea by ship.
God, imagine how many of them would get sunk by drones and missiles. Half the Russian army would go to meet the VDV under the sea.
Black person, a 1000lb warhead doesnt have the daka to destroy a bridge(kerch) stop hyping up storm shadow/Taurus as some mythical bridge killer
Some morons thinks it's some king of massively more powerful than the storm shadows and as such will be able to destroy the Kerch bridge.
They'd be useful insofar as they are cruise missiles that can be used to strike important targets, but they're not a complete game changer.
The reason why they don't use Storm Shadows like that is because the Brits and French are responsible for them. They're cucking out to avoid "escalation"
Basically the west is almost completely cucking instead of delivering TZD, which they're more than capable of doing. Fricking cowards.
>They're cucking out to avoid "escalation"
>Basically the west is almost completely cucking instead of delivering TZD, which they're more than capable of doing. Fricking cowards.
so where is the carrier strike group?
why not sail 50+ ships like they did to yemen, into the black sea, and force the issue?
what could Russia realistically do about it right?
because turkey won't allow that
That's how international treaties work.
>so where is the carrier strike group?
Did you not read what I said? The west is cucking out. There's not going to be a strike group. Most of the west will do the bare minimum because nobody will actually bother to come up with a comprehensive image of what we need to achieve.
Dunno but that missile looks like it looks like space battleship Yamato and that's pretty cool.

So Scholz blocks Taurus (Leopard 2, Marder) in return to make him fold.

Ever heard of TERCOM, Inertial guidance, and IIR seekers?
The French specifically build their precision strike weapons to be as independent from GPS as possible, and Galileo has been specifically hardened to be spoofing-proof.
So no, although the SCALP/Storm Shadow feature a GPS antenna, they do not need "an ocean of sat/nav data provided to them". Especially since mission data files are injected into the missiles before flight.
Therefore, a SCALP could technically find its way by itself through waypoints, using just pictures of landmarks and mapping data, without ever interrogating the GPS to confirm its position.
you have absolute SHIT for brains if you think this is how the taurus works or how it will be employed or that any missile would have any efficacy at all targeting a bridge with tercom/inertialguidance or lmfao IR seekers
truly a shit brain moment for you
Taurus has twice the range and from the leaked phone convo it sounds like it's the only one precise enough that hitting bridge pylons becomes feasible
but Ukies mostly hype it because it's something they haven't been promised yet
like half of these points was said in the phonecall. But in summary
They could bypass all AD as they know the positions and have a "always below 21m" route mapped already. Including a under 3m accurate hit.
The bridge is a bridge so high safety margins make it durable but not impossible to destroy but at the current situation there would not be that much value in doing that. Additionally the if they dont give the data to the ukies they would need help from MBDA to generate the mission data. This would take some time to get a effective strike. It seem like they need to model the bridge because the missile can avoid jamming etc by using sensor based homing in the targeting. Hitting the pillars should not be that much of a issue but no guarantee of being effective. but once again its stated it is not that beneficial for operations ATM.
So the suggestion is to just blast mundepots as they are easy to target guaranteed hits with immediate effects.
The bongs can help to attach them on the plane and some DIY dudes would Black personrig in 2 weeks. With the experience from the scalps. Though there are not that many useful planes left.
They expect a 4 month timeline is enough to have Ukraine do it's own missionplaning. so they (no joke) don't have to drive a harddrive over the boarder. So Germany can say they didn't send target data...
Unrelated to the phonecall there are some rumours/stories that the Taurus can be somewhat modular and has Ew and physical defense systems like flares.
Now is not the time for fear.
That comes later.
The missle is a red herring by Scholz. By pubicly saying no, he can just pretend to clearly see putin's red lines and keep hos options for escalation open.
It is a germanosphere line thinking. Like a guy caught drunk driving. Dude won't get the highest fine for it, because then you can't give hime anything more if he fricks up again.
The othery mostle monetary shit Germany promised/delivered and are building up flies under the radar and is even ignored by russian wienersuckers.
The best play here is for everyone to call Germany a bunch of gays, hope that Scholz buckles and gets a new red line.
How is that piece of shit bridge still standing? You can literally fly a remote controlled Cessna filled with explosives at tree top level and the Russian AA has a 50% chance of even noticing it.
Do the Ukies have no imagination whatsoever? The eternal Ivan was able to nig rig wings onto their dumb bombs from the 50's but Ukies can't take down a stupid bridge with all those weapons at their disposal?
>DON'T TOUCH
if they dont want me to touch it why would they make it so shiny and inviting
Can't you just ponder it from a close distance?
Germany wants Russia to win. It's a combination of communist subversion and ww2 trauma.
A lot of the Soviet soldiers were Ukrainian so I can understand Germany wanting them to die.
>Germany wants Russia to win. It's a combination of communist subversion and ww2 trauma.
No. Its germans refusing to cooperate with the US occupant by being obstructive in creative ways. Its kind of obvious considering the bullshit they invent to explain why they cant do this and that. Its malicious compliance upgraded to passive agressive obstruction.
>US occupant
Do you actually believe this Vranya.
3 angles at play:
UK and France supplied some Storm Shadows, but they wanna keep the rest for themselves. And they're pestering Germany to send some of their own similar missiles.
However those two are nuclear powers, while Germany is not. And Germany is scared shitless of Russian nuclear threats, because there is nothing they can do if others don't protect them. Because the Taurus flies much further than the Storm Shadow, this could be considered a "new" Ukrainian capability, so Germany doesn't want to "escalate". Their game is to only at most match what the nuclear powers are giving, never to exceed that.
As we all know, sending these advanced missiles is practically the same as shooting them at Russia yourself. The missile guides itself, the fact that an Ukrainian hand pushed the button because you gave it to them is just an excuse.
Germany sees there is no western plan to destroy Russia. So Russia will be there after the war. The Germans are already planning for the times after the war. The US would love have the sanctions be there forever, and have Europe pay their price. But the Germans want that sweet cheap gas again.
The US stopped sending aid. Germany wants the US back in the game, and this is applying pressure. It was the same with the tanks: the US told them to send tanks, and Germany said not until you do. If the US saw that the Europeans are handling this on their own, they'd do nothing, they'd love that situation. Then their problem is solved and someone else paid for it, and someone else takes the risk of nuclear war.
>pestering Germany to send some of their own similar missiles
Obviously, theyre expensive. The UK has the largest stockpile of them however, the UK has offered Germany an exchange were Taurus is sent to the UK to backfill further Stormshadow donations on a like for like basis. There isnt a single good reason for Germany not to do this, Norway did the same with its M270s.
Its a win win scenario.
>nothing they can do if others don't protect them.
A Russian nuclear strike on Germany would result in nuclear war involving the US UK France anyway. Multiple US bases are in Germany as are multiple UK bases. Russias nuke threats got old fast and hardly carry any weight anymore.
>Because the Taurus flies much further than the Storm Shadow
Stormshadow range is 340miles, Taurus is 310miles. Both missiles actual ranges are likley classified and will reach further but to say the Taurus flies much further is false.
Tl:dr Germany is being abit of a b***h
Danke anons for interestingness
>Germany sees there is no western plan to destroy Russia. So Russia will be there after the war. The Germans are already planning for the times after the war. The US would love have the sanctions be there forever, and have Europe pay their price. But the Germans want that sweet cheap gas again.
Yes and guess what? One nordstream pipe is still functional and is waiting to get switched on. Once the war is over that pipe is going pump gas at a 100% rate. So why wouldnt they play this angle, considering that USA/UK/Norway left one pipe undamaged?
>considering that USA/UK/Norway left one pipe undamaged?
lol, lmao, rofl even. Oh, and coincidentally, it's a Nordstream 2 pipe that wasn't blown up. Yeah, totally the USA/UI/Norway.

This shit is designed to withstand magnitude 9 earthquakes, and you'll need to take out multiple to compromise a pylon's structural integrity.
And while not trivial to repair, these were initially deployed using domestically produced (albeit on German license) hammers - so they can be replaced if necessary.
>Europeans will have to live with Russia as their neighbor just like before the escalation
Dare to dream of a final solution, friend.
We Germans are honest enough to say we dont have troops there and if we need some we will make it official and not lie about it. American hide as "civilians" and brits are already operating over there programming helping with stormshadow.
if the vid above doesnt work try this one. Pretty interesting overall

AHAAHAHAHA

>Somebody give me the rundown on the back and forth with this fricking missile, what's the fricking deal?
The Germans don't want to hand over the Taurus cruise missile because they have a limited quantity (<500), the amount they would send won't impact the war in any big way, and that they cannot easily produce more of them. It is important to ask yourself what exactly the Storm Shadow missile has accomplished other than scoring a few PR victories and blowing up the odd supply dump here or there or unlucky ship anchored in Sevastopol. ADDITIONALLY, the only aircraft that could launch these missiles would probably be the Su-24, of which Ukraine has precious few. Attacking refineries and bridges are off the table because at most you'll maybe be able to get 10-20 missiles in the air while risking the entire Su-24 fleet in the process.
Look at how little their gains are while Ukies are on artillery shell shortage. There are hundreds of thousands of shells that are supposed to be delivered by the end of March.
Damn how did my post get deleted, it's not like I was spouting propaganda or something
Personally I don't have anything against you, but mod might have thought that you were concern trolling.
Mutts need to get everyone's hands dirty to forever break Europe.
Taurus is for taking out anti-air defense bunkers and shit; NAFOids want to shoot them all at a bridge. NAFOids are also generally trying to get rid of Biden and Scholz because NAFO works for russia.
There probably needs to be confidential talks with germany about what the issues are overall and how to resolve them. Cause you have on one hand germany being the biggest supporter after the US and going around everywhere throwing money around to get stuff to Ukraine, but then also is hesitant constantly with every new thing. Leopards took a while to get the okay, now Taurus is the thing in focus, pretty sure there will be something new in half a year or so. So whats going on? I don't think it's compromised politicians, cause we can see in the US how that looks like. If Germany is influenced by russian sympathisers, then most other countries in europe are even more so, or they are fricking incompetent, cause they barely do anything. Like my opinion is for germany to give Ukraine everything and let them figure it out themself. That stuff isn't doing anything useful in germany, only costs maintenance and such. Any vatnik it kills is a vatnik that can't be a problem for NATO. Then noone gets to complain cause germany will have nothing left to give and can go back to playing Factorio.

they are basically on a national scale exactly like certain rich people who, having finally been called out, rush to donate more than everyone else in order to quash criticism of their having to be nagged to do it in the first place. or lazy colleagues who keep putting off some task or other until the boss yells at them, and then they do an exemplary (belated) job so that they can forestall future scoldings with an indignant "but look at the amazing job I did!!"
surely you've encountered such people before?
That even more makes it necessary to properly wrangle in the germans. They don't want to lead, so don't make them. Just create a united strategy and then germany just needs to follow. Might not be what everyone wants though since I'm sure a bunch of countries are happy that they get overlooked while everyone is nagging germany all the time. Maybe thats why germany is hesitant, cause they know its the only strategy that saves them from being bled dry of every penny. Atleast Germany is doing stuff now, can't say that for most of everyone else.
of course it's necessary, everyone knows that; they have the biggest and best-performing economy in Europe (partly because of this selling shit to Russians and Chinese of course) and the biggest population, they will be a major player in any war as a matter of course
it's just that nagging them to DO SHIT and then having to put up with their pissy 15yo-teenage-kid-told-to-clean-his-room attitude afterwards is a fricking pain in the neck
>is hesitant constantly with every new thing. Leopards took a while to get the okay, now Taurus is the thing in focus, pretty sure there will be something new in half a year or so.
fake news.
German government says straight no to Taurus.
in contrast, German government said that they will only act in close cooperation with their partners for Leopards, i.e. U.S. need to supply tanks then Germany will, too.
Why is there is a GND symbol on the side of the rocket?
we know the war is over and we suffered the most economically out of all european countries. It is actually the first Olaf decision I can agree with since he became chancellor. Sending Taurus now changes nothing about the situation on the ground(German generals in the leaked audio aknowledge this because the land bridge from Donbass still exists after the failed Ukrainian Counter Offensive). So the evaluation is that we only have additional risks and costs but zero benefit with Taurus.
Why even waste time writing something like this.
because it is true. Only other possibility is that Olaf is playing Poker with the americans just like he did with the tank shipments.
>we know the war is over
Weird, the countries are still sending aid, and two days ago Ukraine struck two oil refining towers and there is plenty more that can be struck.
im talking macro scale not small scale like you, yes there is still fighting going on. The problem is that Ukraines brigades got crippled in the Counter Offensive(french newspaper recently admitted this, anyone who closely tracked losses last summer knew it then obviously), so they have no more offensive potential.
Also on the macro scale simple demographics are starting to become a problem, this was also mentioned in Marianne: Zelensky only manages to recruit like half of the 30k they need each month to keep the war going.
So the literal only way to win this war is Nato boots on the ground and full Nato direct engagement, which is obviously impossible.
>obviously impossible
Some magical power preventing this, or more Ukrainians getting off their asses and joining the military?
You just sound like a typical Russian shill.
>Counter Offensive
Who writes like this? I have never seen any pro-Ukrainian stylize it this way.
He's an esl shill, my guy, of course his writing is fricked
I am German we often capitalize nouns due to it being the grammatical rule in German Language, I am sorry if it is upsetting to read.
The magical power preventing this is called logical reasoning. Direct engagement between Nato and Russian Troops means nuclear war. No one wants that.
Ig you can technically call me a "shill" because I am voicing german interests instead of American interests? I am just explaining "our"(the german) logic here.
>"our"(the german)
Pretty sure you arent even that
I am as german as they can come. My grandfather was literally SS, the only "slavic" blood in me is Prussian.
If you were german you wouldnt say that shit lol
an eastern german with the communist brainrot handed down by his parents would definitely say that
Fair, which would explain his moronic views
I am west german, but thanks for insulting my countrymen for their historical suffering under communism, something they surely did out of their own free will, not because it was forced on them.
>sure
Wait, youre not alex are you? That one fat homeless lolcow posting from a mcdonalds wifi?
nope, very first time posting on /k/ for me. I read on another board the pro-ukie shill situation here is insane and I wanted to test that out myself by arguing a mentally sane neutral position. And just like magic I get attacked, insulted, called a vatnik etc.
Guess they were right.
>I read on another board the pro-ukie shill situation here is insane
>pro-ukie shill
Would the initials of the board start with "p", end with "l", and with "o" in the middle?
Are you the guy who posted "we know the war is over" ? Starting with that line is exactly why you were attacked
>Neutral position
Fricking jej
>The war is over
Very neutrool.
The neutral position in any war should be negotiation to end the spilling of blood. If Ukraine has no more chances of winning due to the demographic problem I explained above, isn't that exactly a neutral position?
You are advocating for more war and more death which is not neutral but serves one side(ironically you are serving the Russians right now because they won't mind bankrupting western economies more)
>The neutral position in any war should be negotiation to end the spilling of blood.
Jesus Christ.
Muh "end the spilling of blood". Can we tell Russia to remove their soldiers from Ukraine, or would that inexplicably make you nervous?
>ironically you are serving the Russians right now because they won't mind bankrupting western economies more
How in the frick is Russia capable of "bankrupting Western economies"? You know most nations are spending frickall on the war?
Forgot to say:
So basically you act like a typical (pro-)Russian shill, with a thin veil of "I am actually from Germany and worried". Maybe you're just a normal guy, but you sound virtually indistinguishable from the average /misc/tard. Every single of your arguments has been heard hundreds of times before. You would have been more believable if you just stuck to the population argument. The black market shit, the "wasting money on weapons", the "concerned neutraler", it's all very typical and generic, and of course you went all out and posted it in one thread, and my senses are telling me something smells fishy around here.
There's been many articles throughout the war spelling doom for Ukraine, they don't have this, they don't have that, and they have pulled through. Basically it's really weird how /misc/ hates the MSM yet the moment the MSM says something bad about Ukraine's situation, they rush through to suck the dick of the author of the article.
>The neutral position in any war should be negotiation to end the spilling of blood.
Thusly giving a huge preference to the attacker, mr. chamberlain
>very first time posting on /k/ for me
git the frick out
>Direct engagement between Nato and Russian Troops means nuclear war.
Would Put-Put even try something like this as long as NATO troops just stay on Ukrainian land and not on Russian land?
Not that shill, he sure as shit wouldnt. You think he isnt aware that russia fricked this war up by internal grifting? You think the nuclear program isnt hyper vulnerable to that kind of corruption?
>if i have to launch and it does not launch, is not my problem
Also, letting Putin just bully East Europe just doesn't seem logical, it can only bite you in the ass later. "Just let Putin win, let him get a lot of terrain, big political and morale victory, more workers to make money for his mansions and industry and let him rebuild his army." Doesn't make a lick of sense to me.
I can't tell you what goes on in monkes head, I just see official Nato troops in Ukraine as an escalation we can't take back, even if it just for training.
you realize the brits literally failed a missile test a few months back? This can be said about both sides.
I can post censored ID and/or Grundgesetz with timestamp, if you dont believe my word it is your problem
we already established Ukraine can't win due to manpower problems, so you are making our only options direct war with Russia? You sound very mentally sane. Also I don't think Putin has anything more he can do after Ukraine war is finished, the remainder of the eastern bloc is in Nato.
>just give up ukies, puh please
Bit of an autistically sounding post incoming.
>we already established Ukraine can't win due to manpower problems
I don't know man, you are insisting we established something, I don't remember the whole board reaching a consensus. Even if you aren't a Russian shill, you sound like one. "Russia strong, everybody knows it, end of discussion". That's how you sound like. That's why I want as much high quality equipment going to Ukraine so the ratio goes in Ukraine's favour. Russia barely took a few villages when Ukies started having artillery ammo problems, so I thing Russia isn't actually that strong. Artillery ammo is supposed to be at least partially replenished by end of March. I hope the new equipment packages will keep flowing. Apparently EU is looking to give Ukraine billions from the frozen Russian assets. Russian equipment keeps getting worse and worse, looking at the golf cart assault situation. Although, to be honest, Russia also keeps spinning up its war machine, so that is worrying.
> so you are making our only options direct war with Russia
Better to get rid of the problem than let it fester. Admittedly, they probably wouldn't touch NATO, but I still don't want Ukraine to lose.
Although I will admit I need to look further into the manpower thing. Got any good articles? How bad is the situation? Slightly too few new recruits, or massive shortage?
as I said the recent Marianne article said Zelensky needs like 30-35k each month and he gets not even half of that. I have a Ukrainian refugee friend and he tells me similar stories like "I don't want to go back, they will just grab me, give me shitty training and send me to the frontlines as human meat", he also told me about Javelins being sold on the black market just weeks after the war started. I trust him, he is from western Ukraine.
Zelensky claims what, like 45k Ukrainian casualties? Obviously that number is propaganda. Ziggers claim a similar count for Russia, that only 50k or so died. Both sides are lying.
The real numbers are between 400k and 600k on each side, the casualty ratio is roughly 1:1. Russia can keep up these losses for longer because they have way more people. Ukraine can't. So any equipment shipment is wasted and only profits western defense companies stocks.
>I have a Ukrainian refugee friend
I have no way of verifying that, how do I know this friend of yours isn't in the room with us right now?
>Javelins being sold on the black market
Sounds like a typical /misc/turd argument about "le black market".
>400k and 600k on each side
>casualty ratio is roughly 1:1
Doesn't sound "roughly 1:1".
>Russia can keep up these losses for longer because they have way more people.
That's why I want the West to get off their ass. The ratio is gonna get way better if Ukraine can easily torch Russian equipment. They will have to put their shit older tanks from storage, which are easier to defeat. If we destroy their APC fleet, mobiks will have no armor protection and we will see more golfcart assaults, which can be defeated with simple machine gun fire.
>So any equipment shipment is wasted and only profits western defense companies stocks.
Sounds like a typical /misc/ "why send equipment" argument. Also who the frick cares about "western defense companies stocks", if their products defend people that money is very well spent. Sounds like a left-wing/right-wing populism thing "le bad military-industrial complex, didn't you hear the Eisenhower speech? US military le bad". I would say this is the one time that they well deserve that money.
>removing Russian military power from the planet
>"wasted money"
Wasted money would be if equipment was rotting in stocks doing nothing while Russia expands and solidifies their gains and power. You are denying the weapons their purpose.
I explained the german perspective to you, if you refuse to understand our perspective it is your problem, not ours. Also if both sides have about 500k~ casualties it is roughly 1:1 I gave a range instead of one number because no one knows the truth. Even Russia and Ukraine themselves can only estimate considering how small some remains of people are after artillery/bomb strikes.
German energy prices were the highest in Europe before the war, they have only increased since the war started. Our heavy industry is actively fleeing the country right now, which in the long term will result in the country basically bankrupting itself. No industrial base = no good country.
Considering the shady nature of the Maidan and the fact that the Pentagon quietly admitted they did indeed have personal in Ukrainian biolabs before the war I would consider the attack justified. Nato promised again and again to not further disturb eastern Europe and then broke each of those promises.
>muh energy prizes
>muh heaby indurrstries
>shady nature of the Maidan
>Ukrainian biolabs
>I would consider the attack justified. Nato promised again and again to not further disturb eastern Europe and then broke each of those promises.
HOLY SHIT HE ISN'T EVEN TRYING ANYMORE
Put me in le ebic sgreengrab to post on /misc/ how you managed to "rile up the /k/ope".
I am advocating for german economic interests and a stop to violence, if you have problems with that it is a (you) problem. The simple fact is that you can insult me all you want, we won't give the Taurus.
Also the Pentagon had an official statement aknowledging the biolabs where old Soviet era stuff was handled. How can any russian tell the difference if the western scientists are developing new bioweapons or securing old pathogens? They can't. Hence why it was a casus belli for the monke. I don't say I am in full agreement with Russians, I am trying to open your mind to their reasoning.
we know their reasoning; we've heard about the Azov cumpit biolabs
>I am advocating for german economic interests
yes yes, Germans are selfish c**ts, we know that too
>you gotta sacrifice your economy and buy shitty overpriced american LNG otherwise you are a selfish c**t
very sane argument
>i am neutral

>I need that comfy cheap living! NUMBER MUST ALWAYS GO UP I NEED TO BUY THE FUNKO POPS AND THE ANIME PILLOWS
That's America, not Europe. Everything is expensive as frick in this hellhole.
>I am advocating for german economic interests
Sure, pidor, sure lol
>german economic interests
Just stop trying, the mask slipped the moment you started talking about le epic biolabs and le epic NATO promised although nothing was ever signed, and every other shitty argument word-for-word. You even did that in the same fricking post, sentence-after-sentence.
>german economic interests
Who the frick cares, stick with Europe instead of sucking the dick of an old KGB officer(that was so mediocre they relegated him to a desk job). I'm sure Europe could do some help if things started turning exceedingly dire.
>How can any russian tell the difference if the western scientists are developing new bioweapons or securing old pathogens?
Excuses are just that, excuses. Make up some shit you don't believe yourself that sounds plausible to a paranoid mind, and paranoid dumbasses will believe it and suck your dick. Doesn't make it a valid argument. How many biological laboratories are all over the world, is USA preparing an anti-Russian biological weapon because they have biolabs on their territory? Do you actually have any proof something like that was being done?
>open your mind to their reasoning
Everybody has already heard all those arguments, we've been at it for over two damn years. Nobody is convinced.
the americans did at least half the work on Covid before it slipped out of a chinese biolab. And Covid is biological weapon chimera. If you are not skeptical of everything connected to the US and biolabs after this you are extremely naive.
I hope you guys are not vaccinated btw.
the literal definition of neutral is willingness to listen to the points both sides make. All your argument structure is:
>why do you agree with literal HITLER
not how sound and sane argumentation works, sorry.
Ukraine was never our partner moron.
>Ukraine was never our partner moron.
Why lie?
okay got me there, good meme bro
>the americans did at least half the work on Covid before it slipped out of a chinese biolab. And Covid is biological weapon chimera. If you are not skeptical of everything connected to the US and biolabs after this you are extremely naive.
Le US is as bad as le Russia.
>I hope you guys are not vaccinated btw.
Anti-vaccination schizo garbage. Mathematically proven it's good for you but you're moronic.
I know it's an hour long video, but watch it. /misc/ and related websites are not your friend. They're full of fallacious thinking and pseudo-science. Pseudo meaning, it's not real science, it just sounds like one. You're being duped into believing fake things that profit certain kinds of people, and morons spread the fake message even for free. There are tons of fake pictures and fake accounts on the web that are trying to steer you towards being angry at certain types of people and certain political policies using outrage against things that are misinterpreted or straight up not happening.
i know more about the vaccine than you do, i guarantee that. Why did they call it mRNA when it was modRNA btw? Hmmm, guess someone fell for their own propaganda...
Also the US literally killed between 150k and 1 million Iraqi civilians and you are trying to morally grandstand. LOL
>i know more about the vaccine than you do, i guarantee that. Why did they call it mRNA when it was modRNA btw? Hmmm, guess someone fell for their own propaganda...
Oh, a PrepHole moron trying to tell me how he knows more than the scientists(who are all over the world on the agenda, somehow) for the millionth time huffing farts about how smart he is, look, he even used an ellipse at the end of his sentence, he is thinking so fricking hard much brains hmmmm
>Also the US literally killed between 150k and 1 million Iraqi civilians and you are trying to morally grandstand. LOL
whataboot
Shouldn't have pissed off the US. If you piss off the US shit happens, but the point is if you didn't start, it wouldn't happen. Shit happens in war moron. Implying the enemies of the United States never do bad shit to civilians.
in a few years you will get an aggressive cancer and you will get the new injections against it like a good goy. Then you will still die from it. The magic word is p53.
Also I like how you went from "Evil dictator Putin invaded innocent Ukraine" to "150k to a million civilian deaths are their fault for fricking with the US".
the point is that those are a minority, the last 20-25% of the country that vote green and socdem. Literally over 50% of the country are TND pilled at this point, germans just have weird autism where we take the bad thing for a very long time and then violently lash out.
>Also I like how you went from "Evil dictator Putin invaded innocent Ukraine" to "150k to a million civilian deaths are their fault for fricking with the US".
Yes moron, we don't let evil people win just because there might be some casualties so we will let evil people do whatever they want. In the long run, it's just better to get rid of evil people and their armies.
>muh 150k
And most of them were killed by other Iraqis and not the US.
so just so i get it right: Nato does warcrime = based, Russia does warcrime = literally Hitler?

Biolabs isn't even close to top 5 reasons why they did it. It's just an excuse. We know the real reason; the ability to shut down the potential alternative fuel supply to Europe via Ukraine and to restore the USSR under a different title. They literally admitted this on the 24th Feb, 2022.
>actual unironic oblastposting
all I hear so far is unironic vatnik shill accusations. Zero arguments why the demographic problem now also being discussed in western media is wrong. Zero arguments why Germany putting their interests first is wrong, except for "stop being selfish". You guys have zero arguments.
German interests haven't been a priority for decades, then stop makin shit up when talking about Ukraine. You flooded your country with turks and other brown masses, shut down nuclear plants and forced cancerous green ideology laws for a whole EU, ruining European industries, but when it comes to sending munitions to a country that fights Russia then you use that pathetic excuse.
who did that? the german people or our insane controlled politicians? Also brown masses flooding is literal Soros agenda, an AMERICAN israelite.
>zero arguments again just calling me a vatnik
keep it up bro
>da JOOOOOOOOS
Ya gotta go back polestinian
try harder bro
>why do you not listen to Putin's arguments, he has lied 9 times out of 10 but believe him now please
Also no homosexual, the "balanced" argumentation already happened, people are just too lazy to write it for the 100th time. We've heard the arguments, debunked them, and now you are trying to restart the conversation.
Here are your German people. They'd rather destroy their country than vote for "nazi" party.
what caused these protests? Since you are an expert on german issues you surely can tell me.
"a report that extremists recently met to discuss the deportation of millions of immigrants, including some with Geman citizenship"
did you know those "extremists" included 5 conservative politicians, but only 4 AFD politicians(our "evil nazi party"), I wonder why they only used the protests to go against AFD but not against our conservatives...
Hmmmm, really makes you think, huh?
Buddy, the point is they're protesting to protect brown invaders.

>German fifth columnist commie posts in /k/ pretending to be neutrool.
Fricking kek. I can't wait till you all fifth columnists get sudoku'd to the back of the head.
i am pretty much the exact opposite of a commie, I reject most collectivist shit. I want strong german economy not dependant on pig americans again, so we can prosper in individual freedom.
I will just frag the officers in basic training if I get drafted.
>frag
Implying you will get one with the current state of bundeswehr, get the shovel and dig the fricking trench.
Also I'm sure your economy will be great under your russian overlords. Reminder that Berlin is rightful soviet clay.
our economy will run better on cheaper gas, thanks for being able to do that calculation, you are very smart.
Do you think I am offended by the state of our army? I couldn't give a frick, soldiers are bootlicker pigs no matter which nation.
>Do you think I am offended by the state of our army?
No I was only implying there won't be to much resistance.
>our economy will run better on cheaper gas
Based! Frick american pigs, russian wiener tastes much better anyway. Like the good old days before 1990.
>not being the US vassal cuck means you must be someone elses cuck
we will be free and pay the russians a fair price for their gas, that is it. Keep coping though glowie, I love it.
>not being the US vassal cuck means you must be someone elses cuck
You don't understand that you are a pawn and not one of the sides in all this. You only get to choose where you stand.
>we will be free
No you won't, if you really think russia is the alternative and will let you live your life like you want to you are delusional. Well I'll enjoy my life under pig americans that you hate so much. You enjoy whatever the frick you like, do what you want not my business. I just think you are a clueless moron that's all.
well I explained the german position in this thread and all I got was accusations of sucking russian wiener and seething why we don't ruin our economy further for Daddy America.
And now you think I will respect you when you tell me we can't be free? What part of the memo did you not get? I already told you we will be free and you can't do shit about it, because your Dollar is weak and all your old allies are slowly realizing that the multipolar world is the future.
So literally seethe dilate and cry more mutt troony
Black person you are not even talking to an american. I don't need your respect. I hope we never meet in person. You seem like a mentally deranged social outcast with your sudden outbursts of /misc/ delusions.
>We will be free
Wishful thinking won't help you. Anon if it was up to me we would all be free and just prosper. But it doesn't work like that. If you fail to see what I try to convey, so be it.
You fail to see the upcoming multipolar world. It is that simple. What are you then, Brit? You keep telling me my country needs to be good pawns for america because our only alternative is being russian pawns, I simply disagree.
So go seethe more.
>What are you then, Brit?
No, one of your neighbors.
>You keep telling me my country needs to be good pawns
Holy shit you are a dumb fricking gorilla Black person.
Keep spouting more buzzwords like a good conditioned dog that you are.
>I simply disagree
Good, let's just fricking stop here there is no point continuing this talk. It's not like we will convince each other Good luck anon, enjoy the rest of your evening. I'm out.
you used the term pawn first don't accuse me of using buzzwords now moron.
If you are one of our neighbors you most likely have some remaining rape DNA from my grandpa, you are welcome.
How about you stop replying then homosexual?
Hold your horses there Hans. Your grandma took miles of superior siberian wiener while your grandfather starved in some gulag POW camp. Still more action than you will ever see.
my grandfather literally walked out of the POW camp because the brits were too moronic to stand guard.
sure alex, sure
>alex is still posting
Im amazed you havent been booted yet, mcds is getting way more tolerant than they used to be
Well good luck after you get drafted when puccia takes over the baltics, you will be the finest soldier in the first line of defence on the Oder.
>I'm neutral

>Ukrainian biolabs
>I would consider the attack justified
I hereby revoke your benefit of doubt. This is not neutral. At best, you are a useful idiot who eats propaganda and rolls over for aggressive dictators.
>I am trying to open your mind to their reasoning.
This "reasoning" is lying garbage. Biolab moron. We know every one of the Russian excuses for why they invaded in 2014 and why they invaded in 2022. They're all bunk.
>the brits literally failed a missile test a few months back? This can be said about both sides.
Trident failure rate is a lot less than whatever the frick the Russians have been up to.
germany has suffered the most in the last couple of years not because of the war, but because of incompetent politicians all the way back to merkel
financing TZD is the only good thing this countrys government has done in a long time
Overwhelming german autism.
They're so scared to do anything offensive, they're practically shaking, like a dog up against a vacuum cleaner. In this case the hoover is russian threats and mean words, very loud very angry, very "dangerous", and the germans take it at face value.
The missile itself would be a souped up Storm Shadow as far as i understand with longer range. Long enough to reach the Kerch bridge and make a nice impact on it.
Warriortard used to annoy me. And that's his reason to live.
He's been mocked openly on any site that does not allow anonymity. Whether it be wikipedia, touhou chat rooms (his favourite retro game), twitter, etc, etc...
He's not lying when he says he loves this place. And this is the point.
Anytime he annoys you, do something you enjoy. Go plinking, call the lads and do some lamping, take your wife/gf out for meal. In short, do the things he can't, and never will. Don't let yourself become the sad, lonely, individual who has made ragebaiting his life.
tl:dr dubs decides what the British did to him.
He got mogged by a beefeater on vacation
There is no deal. Germany just doesn't want to give it to has made excuses why they can't
>We won't until others do it
>UK does it
>We won't until other European members does it
>France does it
>We won't until USA gives ATACAMS
>USA does it
>We won't because it is a 'bridge killer'
>Is only 30kg heavier warhead size than Storm Shadow and the claim that the warhead was somehow better at killing bridges is false
>We won't because we'll have to put German troops in Ukraine to use it, UK is doing that right now! They're WAR MONGERS!!!!! We're REASONABLE!!!!
>Ignoring that this isn't how it works, ignores France and ignores that the UK has said it has had troops since the start
>Well we can't do it because we have to be reasonable and not extend the war to NATO!
>Ignoring Russia won't do shit
It's lies upon lies upon lies.
it's all so fricking tiresome
It is. I have no idea why Germany cannot just say
>We don't have a lot of these, we don't want to use them up. They are for our own defence.
Rather than
>We will if
And then every time 'if' happens, they make another reason why they can't. Just be honest.
germans are understandably paranoid about helping contribute to a broader european war given how the last one went. germans may sell their weapons under the table to many violent countries, but the core of their pacifism comes from the horrors of ww2. they support the democracy and euro-aspect of ukraine, but that has its limits. they also are feeling the combined idiocy of shutting all their reactors down, increasing their reliance on coal, and cutting off their cheap gas (russia) and they want to be able to revive some of their struggling industries after this war by not completely burning bridges with russia.
