With friends like those, who needs enemies?
It’s a super robust chopper lol
Putin has really stepped in it this time! It’s all over for him now! #5834235
Anyone who hails from British Columbia, and claims to be a “reckless liberal” adds nothing to discussions. Please, find a Neocon discussion club and try to fit in there. You’ll always be a dunce here.
Comrade Jon Preston of the
KGB Disinformation Bureau,
FR supports the US, and freedom and liberty ... so do I
but you obviously don’t, if you support Russia
so YOU’RE the one on the wrong site, dumbass
“I know a fellow who had to shoot down a Navy fighter in Granada”
I did a quick search on US losses from Grenada.
There was a Navy fighter attack against US forces (”Navy fighter-bomber support aircraft providing close air support mistakenly killed American ground forces”) but I see no record of any Navy plane shot down.
If you have a source for this please post.
Thanks!
you support Biden's foreign policy, I don't.
Exactly. It’s always sad to read the childish comments by “Vlad’s” admirers.
I read the article and it’s an interesting report, hope it’s true, anything is possible in war.
But every single article that lists any Ukrainian success or Russian screw up and ..
Twenty of these idiots line up to declare it can’t be true, all news reports are lies, they lied about the vaccine, etc.
They are childish and unhinged and could never be relied in for sensible analysis of facts.
For example, it appears the Russian forces in Kherson are being cut off and Ukraine is close to reaching the city.
So live with it Vlad babies.
Zahed Amanullah: A structural engineer’s view (yes, I was one) of the Antonovski bridge damage and why it has put it out of commission for the rest of the war.

No they don’t. There is also a train route and this bridge is not taken out. It is being repaired and the security issue addressed.
So this is more of your repetitious Daily Mail war fables mucousmembrane.
See post #29
While the holes may be easy to fill in, at some point, the structural integrity of the road bed will come into question. Also, I would not want to be on the "repair" team, knowing that HIMARS rockets could impact at any time.
In Iraq a returning Navy F/A-18 got locked up by a Patriot battery due to a SNAFU with the IFF I suppose. Only way to save himself was to zap the radar with the HARM missile he was bringing back.
Both crewmen survived, nobody in the headquarters did.
Discussions? You mean discussions between yourself , kiriyandill, delta7 and the rest of your co-workers?

Thanks. From the video in the Twitter thread you linked to I can see that the damage inflicted on the bridge from this week’s HIMARS attack is MUCH more substantial than the damage inflicted in last weeks attacks. I’m impressed by the HIMARS’ near pinpoint accuracy. They used a lot more rockets in this week’s attack each clearly aimed at the same point so the cumulative damage was substantial.
Out of commission for the “rest of the war”? Not a chance. Ukraine fixes much more extensively damaged bridges (spans dropped, etc) in weeks or quicker and Russia can do the same.

Well that may be true, but the only example of Russian bridge fixes is the concrete patch work they have been doing. Also there are different types of bridges - they may look the same generally but they are not and repair on each is type is different.
Plus, I’d take the word on structural repair from an engineer than a guess on your part. Essentially the damage is so extensive that they will have to drop the entire span and put up a new one. Then the bridge will also receive more hits along the way.
Eventually, the shelling will drop that bridge, the Ishon(?) east-west bridge, and the Nova Kakhovka dam road. The the rail junction is being hit continually at Melitopol’. How much daily repair does it take to become discouraged and just stop wasting resources?
Sorry, but I think that is an Urban Legend.
Here are US losses in Grenada (not sure of difference between wounded and injured)
“19 killed
116 wounded
36 injured
9 helicopters destroyed”

Well, TIME WILL TELL. Early in my life I learned that it is usually folly to project current events and capabilities willy nilly into the future. People make adjustments.
Amen to you and Canuck.
