Yup, old version judging by the shape of the screens.

You read too much nonsense.

If it is too far out to start sounding like BS, it most likely is.

and to see such BS spreads out so easily are making me sad.

Saw some mentions of it.

I'm a wee bit confused about the range of Kalibr versions. I know Russia fired lots of them from the Buyans in the Caspian at ISIS targets in Syria. They overflew Iran, and those strikes must have been at some 750-800km range at least, which is farther than what Wikipedia claims is the max range (660km) of the base version.

From the coast of Kalmykia to Krivoy Rog it's 1100km.

Bellingcat said something similar.

Rob Lee, whom I had respect for, definitely lost it too. When the Russians Kinzhaled some targets, he said it was an indication that cruise missiles had run out etc. No thought was given to the fact that they were launched at a hardened Soviet era underground depot, where that additional penetrating power of several hundred hypersonic kilos were needed.

That's more than a month ago. They've launched several hundred more since then. Almost daily (or rather, nightly) strikes. And it seems to be intensifying.

Russia has yet to go full wartime production, but they evidently ramped things up, keeping stocks filled.

Multiple Russian cruise missile strikes on infrastructure targets across Ukraine tonight, parts of Lviv without power. Likely the biggest barrage since the beginning of the war.

Reportedly the land attack Kalibrs are upwards to 1,500km while antiship is a few hundred km's.

I do seem to recall this being mentioned during the uses in Syria.

Well, isn't the range of land attack Kalibr missile upto 2500 km?

They can even target Warsaw from Caspian sea with that range. Slight tweeking of range will even bring Berlin into the hit zone.

According to him, the Ukrainians have received Western weapons (from the USA included) and have successfully used them against Russia.
Apart from various criticisms of the Russian operation.

Well, a while later.

Interesting, isn´t it

"The main thing is to start the second stage. And specifically to conduct a special operation not only in the territory of Luhansk and Donetsk, but throughout Ukraine. Why? Because all the world's states that are armed with the best weapons — so they say-brazenly provide Ukraine. And these weapons are already being sold to local residents. This is already global chaos, lawlessness. So that this does not last, we need to put an end to it, we need to start the second stage," Kadyrov said.
