“Large convoy of Ukrainian air defense systems destroyed by what looks like an Iskander.”
They’re saying an S-300, and even more effective weapon. But yes, they’re also saying an Iskander.
God, just once I would like to see any of these vids without the weird eastern Euro satanic metal death music.
your tax dollars gone - up in smoke. Thank the neoCONs like cheney and bush families
Nothing another few hundred billion won’t solve.
Its a war. Stuff gets broken
In war the very best systems can be destroyed.

Vaporized? As in Lahaina-ized? Dew-ified?

"We're watching a holocaust. We're watching something that I've never seen before. [Russia] is blowing up buildings, with children, with women, with professionals, with people, just people, they're blowing up indiscriminately. They're just shooting massive missiles and rockets into these buildings and everybody is dying." "The numbers are far worse than what you're seeing on television. I don't know if they [are] keeping them down. When you see buildings being blown up and then they say one person died? Give me a break. Many people are dying and we're allowing this to happen." "They have to stop it and they have to stop it now, but they don't respect the United States, and the United States is not doing anything about it. This is a holocaust, this is a horrible thing that's happening and you see it on television every night." |
Two or three weeks ago two Patriots systems were taken out on video. They were brought to the front to try to counter the massive destruction being caused by fighter dropped FAB glide bombs. In desperation, the Ukes are being forced to be reckless with their few remaining effective assets.
Knowledgeable guy on twz says it’s not Patriot, it’s IRIS-T.

We have spent the last quarter century mostly fighting small unit actions against poorly equipped , poorly trained insurgents and terrorists equipped with AK47s, PKMs, IEDs and RPGs
Even Iraq in 2004 was against a much degraded Iraqi military that never fully recovers from Desert Storm.
A bad day is a handful of casualties from an IED ambush.
A really bad day is a tank or aircraft being destroyed.
The modern battlefield is a very lethal place.
In a real war against a near peer adversary, we are going to take really heavy losses in people and hardware - on both sides. Our political leadership is accustomed to the pace and consequences of this low intensity conflict and the policy wonks really think they have the war thing figured out.
This is a dangerous place top be because they are making military intervention policies and decisions while totally under estimating how bad things could go if their ill advised course of action leads to a full scale, near peer conflict.
The Ukraine is a prime example of this ignorant arrogance.
So is the Gaza and Yemen and so was Afghanistan.
I See Zelenskyy was in Turkey this past week begging again. He turned down Erdogan’s offer to hold a peace summit there. Turkey is building ships for Ukraine’s Navy. Guess who’s probably paying for those ships?
