The Russonazis have had this piece of crap in their inventory for over two years. Surely it would have shown how miraculous it is from the very beginning of their illegal invasion. A YEAR AGO.

Unless, of course, it doesn’t work very well.

Nice try, troll.

If that were so, then the Ukrainians would have no ammo supply problem, due to a lack of guns to shoot off that much ammo. But it seems that this isn’t the case.

Russians refer to ukies as хохолс, which is a reference to a kind of a pig-tail haircut that a lot of ukies used to favor. The idea was that when one of them got killed in a battle, God or somebody could yank them up to heaven by the pigtail...

The original was the great Drake's Yodel.


Hostess Ho-Hos and Little Debbie Swiss Rolls are the knock-offs.

I’ve seen articles on it over the past 2 months. Brilliant system in that it is totally PASSIVE, so it uses sound, visual signals, ground shock waves, and probably a bunch of other stuff to accurately pinpoint the location of artillery being fired - all without announcing itself, as our systems do, by sending out radar signals.

But since it was developed by the Ruzzians, there is NO WAY it can work...until it does.

In the end, it’s not a surprise that we were leap-frogged by Russia, as a system like this takes a LOT of education in physics and math, which is highly valued in Russia, as opposed to Drag Queen Studies, which is now the top major in the West (or might as well be).

Seems to be having a major impact on the fighting.

Ring-Dings, not Ho=Hos, is what George said. They are much better than Ho-Hos. Better chocolate, more filling. Ring-Dings were the first cake have frosting ON THE BOTTOM. A snack food breakthrough for the Drake’s Company. Originally the present Ring_Dings were known as Ring Ding Jr. The original Ring Ding was much larger, but before my time.

Russians invented HoHo’s also, first.

“The original was the great Drake’s Yodel.”

An iconic product if there ever was one.

Yep, I saw one of the Neocon Apologists claim that they’ve had it for 2 years, which does seem to be the case, but they only brought it into Ukraine 2 months ago, and yep, they now have something to take out any guns that aren’t way behind the lines.

Russians do appear to be suffering very high casualties as UKR artillery is doing a number on them.

You need to be scooting before your rounds lane.

Actually, from everything I’ve read in military journals the system is pretty damn effective and has significant benefits over competing counter-battery target detection systems. And, yes, the first unit was delivered several years ago. While very effective, a given unit can only serve one battery at a time. With the very large fronts in Ukraine along with the large quantities of artillery pieces being given to Ukraine, I suspect the Russian inventory of these units is completely inadequate.

We have Ukes and Russians in my area. They are heavily intermarried. The local fights were always between the Ukies and Polacks. Never heard of what you are talking about...sounds like pure fiction.
