The pics are for references I suppose?
The first one is 3M54 AShM. Ukrs didn't have a target worth it even back in 2014

Is it, really? 300 rounds in 2 hours is 2.5 rounds per minute. Or one round every 24 seconds. Sustained rate of fire for howitzers of the caliber is around 2-3 rounds per minute. For older guns it would be pushing it but that part of the world gets really cold even during daytime especially now that winter is just poking its nose in.Isos wrote:
Per hour ? Hard to believe. The barrel would double in diameter at this rate with the heat.
They don't. These systems just wait until NATO HQ phones and tells them there's an incoming their way. In theory, that is. Most of the time they only know they are under attack when the first missile has hit its target. That's how they got so many hohols burned in their bunks, when a warning would've emptied the building in less than a minute.Sujoy wrote:Even if I accept that Ukraine is indeed shooting down Russian cruise missiles, I wonder how Ukraine, in the middle of a war, integrates NASAMS, IRIS-T, Gepard and S-300 into a common air defence network?

I already had problems taking you serious but after reading this it's game over.
An anime sub? On Reddit? That's bad enough in and of itself but aren't you a 50+ year old Serbian boomer on top of that?
Pure comedy.

Some military analysts suggest that Greece was able to integrate S-300, Osa-AKM and Tor-M1 into NATO's air defence network so Ukraine has done something similar.
However, for Ukraine to achieve that Almaz will have to provide integration assistance and help with debugging.

What is appalling, is not the shirt this girl is wearing
Which is basically a quote from a Ukrainian diplomatic to Kazakh that more Russians must be killed
What is appalling to me, is that there are genuinely a majority of Russian people, who are genuinely shocked by this
Russian people, for the most part are smart and down to earth people
But when it comes to Ukraine, the vast majority of our people are like 2 year old infants in their perceptions of Ukrainians
There was a documentary where a filmmaker is showing how Ukrainians and their kids chant to kill Moskals
And the old Russian women are in denial about it
That is why the SMO is conducted the way it is
Because people in Russia, are willfully ignorant, and willfully cover up the crimes or outright deny the criminal disposition of the brotherly people
There should be a study conducted on the cult like mentality of Russians towards Ukrainians
So many people are prepared to make guys pay a price, to "rescue" these genocidal maniacs
These people don't want to be rescued by us
In fact it's embarassing that most of our people believe this, that somewhere in Ukraine, most people want to be rescued , and are pro russian , never-mind that in cities like Kharkov, guys were murdered, guys were executed, never-mind that in Kherson they threw bandera smoothies at our columns-
Trust me young guy, Ukrainians are brothers
Now Granted, it is mainly women, mostly older women, who make up the vast majority of the putin supporting, Ukrainian brotherly people embracing populace
And this demographic is what has fucked us in the SMO
These nazis do not hide their desserts , named after killing Russian babies, their torchlight marches, their fanatical behavior
And babushkas are asking, how is it possible for young children to say this
Most of the Soviet boomer populace, needs to disappear , they have fucked us , with their nostalgic bullshit , fantasy perception of all these Ukrainians

They better manufacture some more sections , just in case of more attacks or accidental damage . Costs are less now , and easier , than restarting project altogether .

Because they need to. After the 2nd or 3rd shot, the pzh2000 and krab are extremely accurate, due to a digital FCS and much longer range(30km regular round, 40km RAP, 60km Smart or excalibur, while 24.7km, regular, 30km RAP, 27km krasnopol for msta) . The msta and giatsint arent and without krasnopol, need to fire 10-50 rounds at a target to disable it..
Why do you keep talking about artillery like it is a short range cruise missile substitute?
Artillery is used against attacking and retreating infantry and vehicles... you don't aim for individual targets, you deliver a spread of explosive shells that covers the target area in fragments so that most things in that area get damaged or injured or destroyed.
Russian artillery will savage an area with fragments and HE and then move... orc artillery will be based on one or two vehicles and can fire a few shots and then run away... it is like comparing a forest fire to a candle.
But you think the candle is better... maybe for reading a book at night but when you have a forest of enemy soldiers you want to get rid of... a forest fire is best.
If they are quite close then you ask Pinocchio.
Russian ammo expenditure is a sign of obsolete tech, not superiority.
No, it is a sign that they are killing Orcs in large numbers at a time, while the Orcs are trying to kill Russians one at a time.
That being said, NATO artillery really doesn't cope withe xtended fire, but it doesn't need to. actual NATO coalition armies, with about 700-900 pzh2000, archer, krab, AS-90, paladin, M198 would the wipe the floor against 2000-3000 D-20s, 2S19M2, D-30s, msta-B, giatsint B, pion
And how effective would they be when irradiated.
The Orcs already have more than half of HATO artillery and are getting some systems before the HATO countries that own them have them... not to mention their ammo stocks.
Part of their problems with these guns is that they are using the ammo they have instead of using the special ammo each different gun requires and was made for their own gun system... HATO is designed to work as separate gangs who don't share ammo or equipment or tools, and when they do it all turns to crap.
As artillery pieces the HATO shit is only good at being very short range Tochkas... tiny payloads though...
You see HATO wants long range precision of a ballistic missile but for the price of artillery so they have ruined their artillery which can no longer deliver the amount of shells needed for most support roles... they wouldn't have enough ammo for that anyway, but at the same time they don't have the range or HE power of a proper ballistic missile... but I would think the 20-30 rounds of each you would have to fire to get the same effect as a 500kg warhead on target would cost more than a Tochka anyway.
Even if I accept that Ukraine is indeed shooting down Russian cruise missiles, I wonder how Ukraine, in the middle of a war, integrates NASAMS, IRIS-T, Gepard and S-300 into a common air defence network?
They likely receive messages from HATO countries monitoring from HATO airspace... which means small targets like drones and cruise missiles will be difficult for them to get early warning over...
There won't be coordination of systems, which will limit the effect they will have.
Some military analysts suggest that Greece was able to integrate S-300, Osa-AKM and Tor-M1 into NATO's air defence network so Ukraine has done something similar.
A decent IADS would use two way communication, which in this case would betray the locations of the air defence platforms... they will be using any AD vehicle that works... I doubt they would be upgrading them to HATO standard... which isn't a high standard for IADS.
