This missile was developed and continues to be managed by the Army at Redstone Arsenal Alabama. The same location that put men on the moon.

There has been much made of this 40 mile long Russian convoy that is approaching Kiev from the north and is said to be just a few miles outside the city. If the Ukrainians have Javelins, drones, some aircraft and know the terrain well, how is it that this massive convoy proceeds or positions itself without being attacked? Any insights or comments

638 hits out of 740 missiles (if all have been fired). Outstanding hit rate.

Anybody believes the media? We don’t believe them when it comes to covid, but we believe them when it comes to Ukraine?

The missle (not the launcher) costs about $180K each.

With everyone having a mobile phone, there’s a remarkable shortage of photos and video coming out of this war, don’t you think?

We want to believe them on Ukraine, we know better regarding Covid.

Ukraine at this time has no air to ground attack aircraft. Except maybe a few drones. It is reported just now that Bulgaria is sending a number of Sukhoi aircraft which can attack ground targets effectively. The convoy is a perfect target for these planes. Sadly they don’t have any A-10s. Then again a few javelins fired at the lead vehicles and rear vehicles would force the convoy to deploy off road, slowing them considerably.

Yes. Really makes you wonder. Thought the Ukrainians for some tactical intelligence reasons don’t want the sites and outcomes of battles to be revealed and the Russians certainly don’t want any documentation of their losses. However the dearth of cell phone video is a bit strange.

The article forgets to mention Trump sent these missiles while Barak sent blankets.

IEDs would as well. Hopefully that's in the Ukrainians' plans.

Trump supports freedom for the Ukrainians. That also seems to be overlooked.

What am I missing here? Ukraine is corrupt as the day is long.

I'm no expert but it seems to me since their independence the country has been

controlled by an elite, ruthless few and the people are exploited.

Hec, even Biden used it as his own personal piggy bank.

Hard to believe that the Bulgarians, who traditionally are extremely close to the Russians in many ways would send aircraft that are meant to kill Russians. Sure the Turks were more than delighted to send drones and be well paid as well. The Turks really don’t like Russia and have a primordial fear that the Russians will one day retake Constantinople. Explains Turkey’s membership in NATO more than anything. Strange times.

This tells you the Russkies have full air superiority (contrary to propaganda), and the multiple, multiple reports & photos I’ve seen of that column is that not a single vehicle was pushed off road smoking.

“Trump supports freedom for the Ukrainians. That also seems to be overlooked.”

I expect Trump supports a Ukraine free from Russian and U.S. Department of State globalists. Thus Trump is an enemy of the globalist media.
