    It seems that the background radiation level increased 2 days before the strike according to that EU source.

    And DU is not radioactive (rather it is toxic when ingested) especially while stored normally hence just moving it to that location wouldn't raise radiation levels, so this story seems like bullshit.

    Not too sure about that.
    These shells are from the UK not the US. Wink

    Gotta believe there's a crap ton of SEAD assets from the RuAF just waiting for Ukrainian air defense to turn on their radars, right?

    Kh-31P seems outdated its old form given range less than even the Ukie Patriot - were the longer ranged versions ever put into service? The Kh-58U seem like a better weapon. Would be able to engage potentially from Russian or Belorussian air space vs. Kiev's AD radars/SAM systems.

    The story of aviation is tedious and I would not add more to the subject than what I have already written.
    It was always the "solution" that Russia had to mobilize a larger number of soldiers, and it is certain that it would lose a large number of soldiers in an assault on the largest cities of Ukroshitstan. Therefore, I think that Ukroshitstan, Odessa, Kharkov, etc. are not the primary goal of the Russians. Nope, it's the West.
    Those cities were lost with Lenin.

    Europe is a punctured condom and you give it too much importance. The only independent country in the EU is England.
    Russia must defeat the West, not Ukroshitstan.
    This will not and cannot happen without China, which has been the main support of Russia since the very beginning of this SMO, although no one here wants to write about it.
    China is the country that will eventually break the West.

    Well, I have to give the Frenchman credit for at least something because it's becoming obvious that he doesn't like the USA. Western military industrial complexes definitely produce some systems that do not justify the invested money in a good part of the cases.

    They do, those carried by Su-35's and Su-30SM's are Kh-31PM. Early days of war they were launched from the depth of Belarus.

    There is enough propaganda on this forum too. Russian deep state assets who were lying virtually dormant for the last 7-8 years, barely posted anything, have suddenly been activated. I counted 5 such posters including the one who gets "early access" to enclosed areas during Victory Day parade and was able to point out exactly which office within the Kremlin was targeted by the drone.

    Make that 1B. Apparently the entire system was taken out, launcher, radar, control. And it was not even Kinzhal but Gerans and maybe even Iskander.

    I see that some retards announce on Twitter that 6 Kinzhal missiles were shot down (the source of the information is from Ukroshitstan), although there is NO evidence that the 9M723 missile from the Iskander-M system was shot down. In 15 months, not a single Iskander was shot down. However, in the West, the masses are poisoned and believe in everything. As things stand, it seems to me that only two areas in the USA have endless means of financing, and they are the media and the military industrial complex. Everything else more or less falls apart.

    Would not surprise me that the patriot battery - or the crew - went berserk on the Iskander decoys. Pretty cool technology.

    It doesn't matter that most of us here know that even Iskander was never shot down, because not even the pro-Western wikipedia has such information. Western media are now looking to create propaganda in which they will try to introduce Patriot to the EU countries. It was not without reason that Putin called the West an empire of lies. The Russians are not flowers either, as it is not the policy of any country in the world, but the West will suffocate in its own lies.

    Russian MoD:

    Air defense intercepted 7 x Storm Shadow cruise missiles

    The Patriot anti-aircraft missile system was hit by the "Kynzhal" hypersonic missile system in Kiev

    The Armed Forces of the RF launched a concentrated attack on the locations of the units of the AFU, as well as storage sites for ammunition, weapons and military equipment delivered from Western countries.

    The goal of the strike was achieved. All designated targets were hit.

    Will Schryvers take on the video:

    This is a pretty interesting video clip from Kiev tonight — low quality, but still sufficient to see what is happening.

    It purports to be footage of an air defense system in Kiev reacting to a Russian missile attack.

    You first see about ten SAMs fire in sequence, and seemingly in an orderly fashion.

    Then there's a pause of several seconds.

    Then you see what appear to be large missile strikes on the ground in at least two places corresponding to where the SAMs had been launched.

    Shortly thereafter, the SAMs start firing in rapid succession in all directions. No orderliness to it at all. One clearly explodes shortly after launch.

    Then a pause for a few seconds followed by a couple more missile strikes on the ground, again in the vicinity of where the SAMs had been launching.

    There are many assertions that these were US Patriot systems firing their missiles. That remains to be confirmed. I will say the evidence seems more or less consistent with that claim.

    If this was a Patriot battery, I expect it is no longer nearly as operable as it was yesterday.
