>This fireworks was arranged using the Neptune cruise missile, developed by order of Zaluzhny in 2022.
According to journalist Yuriy Butusov, on August 23, 2023, for the first time in history, the Neptune cruise missile of the Ukrainian Navy destroyed an important ground target — the 48Ya6-K1 Podlet aerial reconnaissance radar and the S-400 Triumph air defense system in the occupied Crimea.

What I wanna know is what drone filmed it and why wasn’t it detected?
When have these things ever detected a drone?
A little tiny plane landed in the middle of Moscow red square. Nobody has ever believed Russian capabilities ever since. Moscow is now attacked on the regular by drones
These radars can do long range or short range.
When they're trying to spot dot-like targets 100km away they have to use different wavelengths that aren't great for close range drones, but also the internal filter often is set to filter out the local wildlife.
If it flies as fast as a bird with a similar return, it just won't pick it up, and the spinning drones rotors won't return radar likw the telltale propeller doppler effect, due to being too small.
> Not having RADAR with a resolution of a few cm
> Not having RADAR that can filter out birds reliably
Imagine touting such a RADAR system with the capability to detect, lock on and shoot down 5. Gen stealth enabled fighters.
There are no radars capable of locking onto and shooting at 5th Gen aircraft. Best I can get you is an intermittent radar image.
It was a little quadcopter deployed from boats off the coast, pretty hard to spot for long range AD. Still an embarrassing failure but an understandable one
i am convinced that these are small surveillance balloons that ukraine launches from odesa.
Long range radars need to tune on a very specific frequencies. That's why saudis can't into Patriots.
>What I wanna know is what drone filmed it
i don't remember the source but think it was ukrainian Shark recon drone
forgot pic
cute
Because S400 is undefeatable and none of this ever happened. Now delete your post and turn yourself in to the local commisariat.
>Ukes using anti-ship missiles to hunt SAMs and radars because Russian ships are nowhere to be found

I hope Budanov's boys do a funny and manage to somehow sink a Varshavyanka.

No no no no dear heaven no, it's not an invasion, it's a special policing action to decartelify Mexico.

sorry sir those aren't available
>then get me their Mexican counterpart!

I think it would be more like Chalchiuhtlicue
It would've been a very sharp sombrero
I hear the White House has denied they assassinated the leader of the Mozart group while his personal plane was near Washington DC, is that right?
People who make these kinds of posts look like this.
>Implying that everyone that posts here doesn't look like this
Damn, the S-400 got blown up by a subsonic cruise missile. Must have been pure luck and definitely not Russian lies about its performance
>Ukie anti-ship missiles
>destroy Russian flagship and accurately hit land based targets
>Russian anti-ship missiles
>can't hit ships or fucking huge land targets
lol, lmao even
how do anti ship cruise missiles and normal cruise missiles differ?
Basically they don't. Furthermore, Neptune's seeker could be easily modified to become anti-radar
I'm sure our glowies have been providing some R&D assistance
Doubt it. I'd be willing to bet my kidney that everything on that R360 is completely domestic
Wasn't it that in the early days the anti ship missiles were generally larger and faster?
I know ths the US is trending towards slower subsonic missiles but with stealth like the sea version of the JASSM
For a while they are pretty much the same.
But don't regular cruise missiles need to maneuver over landscape requiring sensors and shit as opposed to anti ship ones that keep their altitude constant? That's not how they work? No idea, honestly.
It is. Reportedly, this was a modified version of R-360, but it was developed with this kind of modificatikn in mind from the very beginning
A lot of modern cruise missiles can be used over land and sea with no issue.
The big difference between an AShM and regular cruise missile is in the terminal seeker, with an AShM having something that only needs to find the big metal box floating on the surface of the water in the approximate area whereas a normal cruise missile is striking a completely static but much smaller target.
Probably just a NATO cruise missile.
Yeah, right. If something works is must be NATO

How does Ukraine do it?
anon it's basically 99% odds if you look up an achievement of the USSR the person/org did not come from Russia. Even at the height of their power they were incompetent boobs held up by their puppet states
ukraine built the soviet military, anon. tanks, planes, naval vessels, their space program, etc. every advancement in soviet rocketry was due to a ukrop
Look up the names of the major design bureaus and the designers involved on the projects.
>Korolev's Space Program (with some krauts)
>Born in Zhytomyr, Volhynian Governorate, Russian Empire (now Ukraine)
>T-34, T-44, T-54, T-64 (former and latter are the most important domestic tanks of the Soviet Union's history)
>Alexandr A. Morozov was born at a worker's family on 29 October 1904 in the town of Bezhitsa located in the Briansk District of Oryol Region. In 1914, the family moved to the city of Kharkiv, and Aleksandr D. Morozov, A.A. Morozov's father, got a job at the Kharkiv Locomotive Plant.
>The fourteen-year-old teenager A. A. Morozov, having got a six-year education at the Moscow Mechanical Institute, came in March 1919 to the engine-building plant in Kharkiv, Ukraine.
>The side booster things for Energia-Buran
>Zenit (Ukrainian: Зeнiт, Russian: Зeни́т; meaning Zenith) is a family of space launch vehicles designed by the Yuzhnoye Design Bureau in Dnipro, Ukraine, which was then part of the Soviet Union. Zenit was originally built in the 1980s for two purposes: as a liquid rocket booster for the Energia rocket and, equipped with a second stage, as a stand-alone middle-weight launcher with a payload greater than the 7 tonnes of the Soyuz but smaller than the 20 tonnes payload of the Proton.
>Turbines used in Mi-28 and Ka-52 before 2014/Crimea and up until the current war
>Since mid-2014, the deliveries of Motor Sichassembled VK-2500 and TV3-117VMA engines to Russia have been subject to strict supervision by the Ukrainian defence export control authorities. Currently, these engines are allowed for delivery to be installed on newly-made helicopters, such as the Mi-35M, for export customers only
The USSR is and was an imperialist power that utilized the other states within it to a significant degree for specialist industries. Belarus from memory is big on optoelectronics and Ukraine was the major industrial powerhouse.
And yeah speaking of optics and shit Ukraine wasn't exactly left out of that either as a point to make here. Ukraine was a significant industrial producer within the USSR and they over-represented talent per capita, much like most of the Soviet Republics outside of Russia.
>Kiev is a Soviet and Ukrainian brand of photographic equipment including cameras manufactured by the Arsenal Factory in Kiev, Ukraine.
>After the Second World War had ended, the Soviet Union demanded new sets of Contax tools from the original toolmaker in Dresden and then ordered a fair number of trial cameras to be made with Zeiss trademarks and coated lenses from these 1946 in post-war East Germany. With this successful, everything together with German instructors were transferred to Kyiv. Missing specialists were in a few cases recruited in West Germany. Any still available parts went in the same direction. In fact, removing the front of some very early Kiev cameras, one could see that the metal was originally stamped with the Contax name, then pressed out and re-stamped as Kiev. By the early 1950 all the parts for Kiev cameras were produced in Ukraine.
Now not shit on Russia too much they're also really fucking large and a good deal of that land is effectively undeveloped to the point that even the present day least developed parts of the US like Appalachia are effectively a century ahead of them. While the population density there is low as fuck they also represent a chunk of Russian demographics. For those parts of Russia they never really advanced. In some cases they even devolved (see related street views versus the historic photo) and that isn't in Bumfuck, Far East Federal District.
>The oldest economic and cultural center of the Lower Volga region,[17] it is often called the southernmost outpost of Russia,[18] and the Caspian capital.
Russia just really fucking sucks at self improvement and effectively kneecaps their own populace for centuries because that's what Russia.
That's what Russia does fuck 2000 characters.
Ukraine post 1991 at least actually fucking bothered to do self improvement. Apparently Zelenskyy was the one who had a huge campaign of roads improvement (by cutting defense spending from Banderamobile Poroshenko) since he was the peace and compromise candidate. Same repaved and improved roads were the ones that the Russians drove in on. That goes in line with Ukrainian history about how they try to do things a little differently from Russia when they could, while the Russian attitude (from the ruling class in Moscow) was fuck all towards trying to improve the rest of the country.

>And the result is almost 14,000 km of roads in two years under the Large Construction program. More than 40% of the main road network of Ukraine, which connects large and small cities and towns, all important Ukrainian regions, has been renovated and built. This is what we see today according to statistics," Zelenskyy said.
Yea, these roads are hardly an achievment. Roads were built in times of Poroshenko too, but at that time money for missile programs went towards missile r&d, not roads
There's quite a bit of revisionist history here. Ukraine was the shittest out of Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine, into the 2010s, and God knows the war isn't helping them. Belarus might well come out the relative winner, somehow. Still a shithole, of course.
Half true but mostly because Russia still had copious amounts of oil to prop itself back up while Ukraine mostly didn't have that. What also separated Ukraine and Russia was that people in Russia hated the Oligarchs so much that they accepted dictatorship as the only way to reign them back in while Ukrainians decided the Oligarchs sucked but they were better than an authoritarian government.
Belarus never had the mass kleptocratic looting associated with Shock therapy and they've always been associated in East Europe as 'Slavic Germans' for being orderly and professional. Albeit they're also stereotyped as lovers not fighters (see how peaceful and consequently ineffective the 2020 protests were), whereas Ukrainians have been stereotyped in East Europe as particularly aggressive.
>Belarus .... stereotyped as lovers not fighters (see how peaceful and consequently ineffective the 2020 protests were) ... whereas Ukrainians have been stereotyped in East Europe as particularly aggressive.
That's funny. I can see it. I came across Belarusian military pop and none of it seems aggressive to me. It's all rather romantic and also not wanting to work too hard.
>revisionist history
Then point it out.
I did. Ukraine had about half the GDP per capita as Belarus before the war, and iirc a quarter or so of Russia. It wasn't some thriving economic engine just waiting to be unleashed post-USSR.
>Never said anything about overall GDP
>Did say that the various former Soviet Republics (with their smaller populations) punched above their weight
>Their populations are smaller than Russia still
Per capita, you idiot.
It was (picrel). We had very developed industry, everything from electrical tools to silicon monocrystalls for chips and chips themselves. Organic synthesis of any compounds, buses, engines(jet too), cars, film. We could make almost anything
Forgot the pic
>we were captinz of industry 'n sheeeit
Anon, you're literally posting the referendum propaganda. Don't get me wrong, it was good we skedaddled and staying willingly tied to Rashka is masochistic cuckoldry of the highest order.....just please be aware of how cringe you are.
All the inputs, the raw resources that went into UkraineSSR's high tech economy came from the other republics, usually the Stans. Everything, EVERYTHING was soaked in blood as the great Sovok machinery ground up its cattle citizen in order to perpetuate the slave state that was the USSR. Slavery was the essence of that state.
If we did stand a bit taller and if our shit did stink less than that of others, it was because we were standing on mangled remains and our stench was of blood.
There was no glory, nothing to be proud of. Except that maybe we survived but didn't live. Better to forget those horrible times. It was all pure evil.
>revisionist history
Hey, pidorashka, you're probably too underage to remember the dissolution of the USSR in 1991.
The main reason 90% of Ukrainians voted for independence in the referendum wasn't political, it was economic, Everyone thought, "Hey, we can stop bankrolling those deadbeat parasites from the center now and just keep the money?"
And the reason Russian nationalists led by Yeltsin were on board with it was that they were seething that 99% of Soviet leadership were not ethnically Russian, as Russians were not intelligent enough to rise through the party ranks.
Russia is Zimbabwe where morons live on the decaying ruins of the civilization after all the white people (former Soviet republics) left.
>For those parts of Russia they never really advanced. In some cases they even devolved (see related street views versus the historic photo) and that isn't in Bumfuck, Far East Federal District.
I heard a saying once that everything can change in Russia in 10 years but nothing can change in 200 years.
Following up on:
You want to think of Ukraine as like some kind of mix of pre-shitification Arsenal of Democracy Detroit and Ohio. They're a bunch of farmers and hicks in the eyes of the "cultured" Muscuvite but they're the same gedderdone rednecks that produce a lot of aerospace bits and pieces. Lots of industry, lots of engineers that go with that industry and lots of farms. Combine that with a robust aerospace sector specifically the aeroSPACE part. Effectively you're looking at the Soviet version of October Sky:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_Sky_(book)
>October Sky is the first memoir in a series of four, by American engineer Homer Hickam Jr. originally published in 1998 as Rocket Boys.
>It is a story of growing up in a mining town, and a boy's pursuit of amateur rocketry in a coal mining town
>Specialist industries
The Baltics had the same story as Belarus in that they were big in optics and some other relatively higher level industries. They don't have the "high culture" reputation or centrality that Moscow and Saint Petersburg but they contributed to the backbone of industry and military production to an over-representative degree. The same can be said of the other (enslaved) Soviet Republics.
Effectively Russia, outside of a few significant cities/regions, is as very much of a muddy hick village as they think the Ukrainians. The exception is that Russians don't own up to it and have the arrogance in forgetting the USSR was a team effort of Moscow enslaving the entirety of the other Republics and most of Russia to get shit done (half assedly a good deal of the time). Post fall Russia got high on their own supply of propaganda and forgot that a bunch of the Soviet heads of states weren't Russian and somehow forgot their most favored leader of all time that fucked them sideways was a Georgian gangster.
any footage of the strike?
thanks
Wait, wait, wasn't it a Neptune missile which made MOCKBA return to port under its own power?
