Shahed 129, Shahed 149, Mohajer 6, Shahed 136, Kian 2. Iran has invested a lot in drone technology over the years and they've been testing what works and what doesn't for long time and in real conditions. Some of their designs are cheap and effective, others are pretty sophisticated. I don't see a problem if Russia buys several hundred to speed up demise of Ukr military.
Iran has officially stated that it will not provide weapons to either side in this conflict stating that adding new weapons will only increase suffering and make things worse... you know... the sort of thing the US would say when they invade countries and don't want any other country to support their enemies...
when they provide twice the number of HIMARS or provide ATACMS with 300-500km range that can hit near moscow and can be armed with nukes?
Or when they get a death star and can destroy all of Russia and the world at once.
These attacks by the Orcs have been responded to and they are currently being pummeled... if the US chooses to send ATACMS then Zelensky is dead and likely any part of the supply chain that delivers weapons to the Orcs will be targeted... which means death and destruction in western Ukraine that we have not seen so far.
If the US wants escalation the Russia will happily kill more of their enemy... the US is creating a genocide of people they claim are their allies.
So why are you getting upset and even answering to his posts?
To make it clear that not everyone ignores the lies of the west and those cowards that promote such treason should not be left to speak unchallenged... especially when they are reading from Americas hymn sheet.
Very indicative post on level of indoctrination of Ukrainian society. Apparently, Ukrainians are ordering cakes with pics of dead Russian soldiers. It shows that Ukraine needs to be completely defeated and cease to exist in its current form. Outfit that make cakes has almost 3000 followers on instagram.
So effectively the US escalating this situation with new weapons and the Russian military responding by launching more attacks and killing more Orcs is actually a healthy circle that promotes peace and democracy and freedom by killing lots of nazis.
Himars is a multipurpose launcher.. it can fire different kind of missiles ,from different ranges ,that can reach as High as 50km altitude. and its range can go as far as 500km.
HIMARS is a truck mounted launcher with one rocket pod. The M270, which is based on the Bradley IFV carries two pods.
The ATCMS missile you are talking about is big and replaces all 6 rockets in a pod so an M270 with two pods can carry and launch two ATCMS. HIMARS can only carry one ATCMS.
Iskander has two rockets per launch vehicle too and has a reach 200km greater than ATCMs with a much heavier warhead and better accuracy too.
means all Russian air short range air defenses are obsolete to target this missile at mid course. CAn't hit things 50km altitude.
They don't have any ATCMS and the normal ballistic rockets they fire have a range of about 60km and could no way get as high as 50km... the normal rockets the HIMARS uses are the equivalent of Uragan missiles... bigger than Grads but smaller and shorter ranged than Smerch rockets.
The Orcs had Smerch and Uragan and Grads which in many ways are all better than HIMARS.
HIMARS was developed because the M270 was too expensive... to buy and to operate... and they use Bradley vehicles so they already have a supply chain for the vehicles.
Even being a wheeled vehicle HIMARS is expensive and not as capable as Smerch and they have already lost plenty of those too.
Toscka is a soviet era missile , that Russia created and they understand very very well how to intercept those , and don't fly as high and as long as himars missiles.
Bullshit.
HIMARS is easy to intercept... Iskander includes sensors on board to detect incoming interceptors and can manouver to evade SAMs and AAMs... HIMARS has nothing like that.
Himars missiles are more closer to Iskanders ,but with far superior portability . So it would be similar as if NATO provided Iskanders to Ukraine , but that have a much compact portable design.
HIMARS wishes they were like Iskanders... by portability you mean lighter and shorter ranged and easy to shoot down then yes HIMARS is an inferior weapon.
Iskander carries two missiles ready to fire or it can carry 500km range cruise missiles with 1 ton warheads... right now they could load calibres and get 3,000km range missiles too.
If HIMARS were so hard to intercept they would be using them to try to target Russian S-350 and S-400 and BUK batteries, but they are not hard to intercept at all so they look for targets in civilian areas.
A few years later someone was looking into the real success rate of Patriot and it was shitty.
An average of 32 Patriots were fired per Scud target presented, and the vast majority were not shot down.
Shouldn´t Charlie* be on Russia´s side? Laughing Laughing Laughing
* the Americans called the Vietnamese "Charlie"
Charlie Hebdo is very much anti Russia, so not all Charlies are good charlies... and that is not a boob joke.
I agree. That's something Garry would have to look into. Put him on ice for few weeks or a month.
I understand it is annoying, but it would be a bit hipocritical of me to give him a ban for the length of his posts...
I personally think it is good to keep everyone grounded knowing not everyone is smart enough to understand western propaganda against Putin and Russia.
I mean it would make more sense for Zelensky to try and send the most pro-Russian groups to their likely demise from a political standpoint.
In other words, "recruit" and send more Eastern-ish and Central Ukrainians (who are more likely to be pro-Russian) out to the front or threaten them with prison (off somewhere in the West of the country where they won't be freed at some point by Russian forces).
Can only recruit from the territory he holds which greatly diminishes the number of pro Russian bodies he has at his command...
The Russians are not just blindly killing everyone they come across... the Brits and Moroccan that surrendered obviously surrendered, and if you are there because you were conscripted and you hate your nazi officers more than you hate the enemy... well if it comes down to the Russians killing you or your own officers killing you for trying to surrender or you killing your officers and then surrendering I know which option I would go for...
Russia has absolutely no need to buy drones from Iran. Besides that it is dubious that Iran would be able to deliver some and certainly not 'several hundreds'.
Even if they sent thousands... they will be Iranian drones and not Russian drones so any satellite links wont be set up and where are all the operators going to come from... and how long to train them?
Ridiculous.
Ukrainian did very well with dumb civilian drones armed with fancy grenades managing to destroy million dollar tanks. Russians copied this after seeing their good results.
Yeah, because Russia has never seen armed drones before...
And how many tanks were actually destroyed... video lies.
Small drones + artillery isn't as good as bigger armed drones against moving targets
Not true at all. Even the biggest drone might have 4 to 8 missiles and then it is useless... an artillery drone can wander looking for targets... artillery can then be used to attack those targets including an enormous column of enemy forces and it can keep pounding those targets all day and all night... and the weight of 8 missiles might equal 300-500kgs which is a lot of fuel for extra endurance to allow that unarmed drone to continue watching the target and see if any enemy try to escape and their escape routes and what buildings they end up hiding in... they can also remain over the targets to evaluate what needs to be hit again or when you can move on to a different target... which speeds up the engagement and dramatically reduces the amount of wasted ammo.
Drones are also good for intel gathering which would help hunting enemy artillery. They have hard time destroying those HIMARs and relying on AD to intercept their rockets is just dumb and doesn't work.
Larger HALE and MALE drones would be excellent for defeating enemy mobile artillery and AD units.
AD is doing their job protecting the force that is destroying the Orc army.
The very idea that they will take enough AD to cover everything is just ridiculous and childish.
As far as I know Russia has cheap shitty drones in number of thousands and not that it needs Iranian cheap shitty drones that wouldn't not even have integration.
Which just shows your bias... their artillery drones seem to be very good, which explains why their artillery is so effective... but continue to ignore the obvious and bollock on about US accusations intended to tar Russia as incompetent... you are being a good foot soldier for Biden and Zelensky... I doubt you will get a medal.
It makes an impression.
Looks like two columns of Orcs just got plastered with some trying to escape across fields and tangent roads...
Having 6000 of your soldiers dead to go easy on SS units and just test weapons...
If people find out it was what you are saying is true Putin and his generals may end up overthrown by the soldiers.
They are fighting what is effectively a civil war with a peer enemy... lets compare performance with the action in Chechnia... which did not have active direct support from HATO sending Javelins and Stingers etc etc... I would say the difference in performance has been transformational and Putin and his Generals should be rewarded for preventing the Kiev attack on the Donbass to quickly be followed by an attack on the Crimea.
It is hilarious... Putin is weak and a coward for letting Kiev shell the Donbass and Lugansk, now he is a monster for something else... no surprises... just keep barking... it is what barking dogs do... but just remember you are barking for the benefit of the west and they will reward you the way they rewarded the Afghans that helped them...
The Kiev regime forces may collapse faster than expected.
It will likely happen suddenly... certain people at the top will run and the rest will follow and those that remain will wonder how the **** they ended up fighting Russia in the first place.
I guess this partly explains all the yammering about HIMARS and drones and other
crap that is, according to Kiev regime propaganda, ruining Russia's "plans".
Funny how the propaganda intensifies just before a big loss... retreat after failure and withdrawal and all these promised million man counter attacks never materialise, or they do but we don't hear about their defeats...
I don't agree 100% with every conclusion he says , but still is quite good report.
A person from the west putting on a fake accent pretending to be Russian to tell western audiences western propaganda... weak.
My educated guess is that preparation of drone's production was delayed by "deep stat" in Russia i.e. middle management doing a little and not on time. Now Orions' production has been ramped up to 3 shifts yet it will take time to saturate units.
You can ramp up shit drone production easy enough, but if you want decent products you can continue using for years then you need decent datalinks and decent cameras... including IR cameras, and you need to make it out of durable materials to survive multiple uses and rough handling in the field.
Cracking such things out in a month is pointless because they will be as useless as some Chinese drones appear to have turned out.
You get what you pay for... cheap drones are not worth the manpower and efforts to train and put into service.
Russians use what they have what would you suggest they shall use right now? beside obvious more AD?
Ignore the pin pricks... pushing them back moves them further from civilian targets and protects them better than bringing in lots of otherwise useless AD vehicles to sit in civilian areas just in case.
The Orcs have good recon so they will see where new AD vehicles are placed and there will be thousands of other places they can launch attacks at.
Weapon dumps are not enormous to avoid all the eggs in one basket problem buy you can't have one shell in one ammo dump... it is not practical.
Bigger dumps with better AD probably makes sense.
It's not all positive - it's war, Russia is more effective at dealing death to the Ukrainian side, what problems they have to be ironed out if possible, the rest - after the war. Look at what new weapons are Russians testing in Ukraine, I hope you like this video
It is not a Hellfire, more an IIR guided Brimstone with a digital datalink to the launch aircraft allowing them to manouver it to find and engage targets in flight.
A bit like SLAM (AS-13/AS-18), but with thermals.
Unless Russia companies can't mass produce that laptop in the millions , it will not become a very profitable business , because of the high price and the low sales for what it offer.
Russian companies supplying products to only the Russian market could not compete with international companies like Dell that sell their products around teh world and make them in enormous volumes.
Thanks to the current conflict Dell will be out of the market so Russian companies will not have to compete with big western companies... only Asian ones not aligned with the west.
