Roshel Senator?
That thing barely has enough ground clearance to handle asphalt let alone mud

Russkie just reversed the PPP concept.
Putin, by saying that Russia produces the amount of AD missiles equal to the whole world combined - was serious.
And that includes the Israel, forced to make hundreds of missiles to match a bloody hydraulic pipe filled with powder the Palestinian teenagers are throwing on them ...
They can provide at least 3x factor of toys for the same pricetag. 5x would be more realistic.
And they are supported by the numerous countries, where this factor is even bigger ...
Let's play a game ....

With GLSDB they will target Belgorod, Kursk, Brjansk and Mariupol on a daily basis. Woronesch is too far away.zorobabel wrote:The US is going to provide GLSDB to Ukraine. Nasty weapons. But as expected, Ukraine is the testing ground for NATO's frontline armaments.[/b]
The 80 km more range won't change much militarily, but you can terrorize more big cities and that's exactly the goal of the Nazis. They want to hit oil tanks, pipelines, power plants, and possibly civilian targets like malls or hospitals.
Advantage for AA is the trajectory of the GLSDB and its RCS, it is likely to be much easier to intercept than the GLMRS.
It must be noted that Russia has no means of escalation to prevent such deliveries. The only two options would be to attack NATO directly or defeat Ukraine. The US has smelled blood and they will deliver EVERYTHING except nuclear warheads (Pretty sure we'll see ATACMS and F-16s on the battlefield soon). I even think NATO intervention in the conflict is 50% possible...the retards of the collective West are so self-confident and think Russia is about to capitulate tomorrow.

Founder of PMC "Wagner" about the ban on shaving beards and giving up tablets and smartphones.
E. Prigozhin commented on the words of the deputy of the State Duma, Lieutenant-General V. Sobolev, that many commanders demand from soldiers.
“A soldier must fight. A soldier sees civilians once a month, or even less often. 80% of the time at the front, soldiers wash themselves with a bottle, and shaving is generally a great luxury. A considerable part of both Muslims and Orthodox, according to religious customs, wear a beard. The beard at the front is a symbol, it is a tradition. As Leonid Osipovich Utyosov sang: “When we drive out the Fritz, there will be time, we will shave ...”.
As for tablets and smartphones. Tablets and smartphones are essential to modern warfare. Accurate geodata are available, including heights and other terrain secrets. Thanks to smartphones and tablets, junior commanders and fighters of certain specialties (and they are from 30 to 50% of all military men) know the general situation and can transmit the data necessary in battle. Another thing is that it is necessary to correctly use the means of communication and have those that the enemy could not detect. Of course, some of the degenerates use them to chat on WhatsApp, Viber and other enemy means of transmitting information.
The requirements that Lieutenant General Sobolev spoke about are archaic of the 60s, the lack of modern military erudition. This is one of the serious reasons why the quality of combat operations suffers. As they say, instead of bending your fingers and trying to comb everyone under your ridiculous rules, principles and whims, you need to develop along with the development of modern warfare, learn how to effectively kill the enemy and seize territories. And if you follow the principle: instead of the development of military equipment - parades, reviews and competitions, instead of iron eggs - stupid obedience and sycophancy, then you need to play lightning. It is impossible to castrate the combat-ready population of the country, to drive them into an absurd framework. War is the time of the active and courageous, and not of the clean-shaven with phones handed over to the warehouse. Personally, unlike the fighters at the front, I have enough time, so I carry out the instructions of Lieutenant General Sobolev and shave almost every day.

I assume contingency plans have been drawn up for the eventuality of ATACMS by increasing the amount of air defence, electronic countermeasures and tools to hunt the HIMARS more efficiently.

Ruskies are in the right in this conflict, and yet I hear much more internal criticism inside Russia than here in the west. I find this unsettling. Russia needs to learn from mistakes and stay open to genuine criticism but it is so vital for the leadership to hold to a unified front of unwavering support to knock back the west.

The Praetorian Guard were bodyguard units for the Roman power elite so they were a tool for politics. Russian oligarchs during the
1990s had such personal guard units composed of ex-KGB and military. Rosgvardia is nothing like this and no unit of the Russian
army answers to oligarchs and state bureaucrats.
We saw in 1999 the Russian army acting to prop up Putin in the wake of the NATzO gang rape of Serbia and essentially stage a
coup against comprador Yeltsin. The transition did not involve the usual fight around the presidential palace but it was a real
turnover of power. I do not see any rot since 1999 that would turn parts of the Russian army into a Praetorian Guard.

I expect something major to explode soon
That's usually how it has gone since the beginning of the SMO
Yes security measures have been beefed up- but how long can that last?
All it would take is one hit to discredit everything Moscow has done until now
And that will be talked about at the Russian dinner table-
Russians won't mind the war as long as it's not on the territory, but one strike can change all that
The Russian leadership has a bad habit of falling into comfortable routine

Alright I got it now, the 300k + reserves are to fight Poland and not Ukraine. But if NATO really did promise they would not assist Poland if they got involved in the conflict than the best outcome of the war is for Russia to annex them next.

But yeah, it isn't even US propaganda and what not. Poland always had its beef with Russia for longer than any one of us or our grandparents been alive. Only way is to try and build relations with new people where maybe both sides can look past the issues of the past.
But I doubt it.
