Well seeing as most people who post in here including drive by trolls like sirwinston aren't new accounts, so no even by my metric you are a russian troll and the others are not

Also beat you to posting some pro Russian news. Still waiting to see if you ever post on any thread and/or post anything other than Russian propaganda

I’ve been saying they better fortify their positions in the north even though they are primarily focusing on the south. It seems Russia was thoroughly embarrassed by getting their asses kicked last year with Ukraine’s thunder runs in the north. That’s a very valuable part of Ukraine anyway so they should keep a large amount of troops in the area at all times.

There’s a reason we haven’t given ATACMS to Ukraine yet and it’s because for whatever reason we don’t want them hitting the Russian homeland with our donated weapons.




As good as the Russians are getting at defending against GPS guided munitions perhaps we simply want to keep them to ourselves and not give Russia a chance to develop counter measures for a key piece of our inventory.

Coming out the backside of this with a free Ukraine but Russia forcing us redevelop our defense inventory is not a win for the USA, our largest single export is weaponry.

Eh, that’s a two way street. Seeing how Russia can counter existing tech is useful in and of itself.

It is the one watching from the sidelines that concerns me more, what would China pay for salvaged ATACMs or simply the flight path info?

They are the one to be concerned about, Russia is and always has been a paper Tiger used to scare Americans into ever more military spending more so than a military peer.

2022 US exports were close to $260 billion, weapons exports were $14.5 billion. Fuel, consumer goods, petroleum, chemicals, autos and parts, and mining all had a greater value than weapons.

I meant in general, but to really validate your thought, you would have to ask if we have ever fired ATACMs before at an enemy.

Because if we have, I’d wager china knows something about them.

The ATACM replacement PrSM (Precision strike Missile) is under development and expected to be fielded in 2024 I believe.

Was it Errerrwhwre who thought Hamlin actually died and his reappearance was a conspiracy, or some other white trash on here? I can’t keep them all straight.

We used them in Afghanistan. I’d presume we used them in Syria as well.

Alleged breakthrough by Ukrainian Bradleys and Leopard 2A6 tanks - unconfirmed, and location unknown so far, but one of the first such videos I've seen. Ukraine tight-lipped with info from front, but things might be starting to move...

Random dude on Twitter says that a break through might possibly be looking like a break through is thinking about happening. I hope it is near Bahkmut. I would love to watch the PT board melt if Ukraine retook Bahkmut.

That's 3.5km north of Robotyne, so no, not a breakthrough.

Just a thought as to why, may be off base.

I would imagine you need quite a few salvaged pieces to know much, after all you are gathering what you can from what is left after the explosion.

We do not need to degrade our abilities against China to help Ukraine, Russia simply can not sustain this rate of losses beyond winter in either manpower or equipment, everybody just needs to have some patience.

What Ukraine needs more than anything is for someone else to try and squirm out from under Putin's thumb right now, Belarus is prime and why Wagner is there to protect Lukashenko.

The only thing more pathetic than someone melting is your glee over watching.

Y’all are some freaking weirdos watching this like a college football game and rooting for your team and against the other team (foreign and domestic).

Please explain what you consider pathetic about my comment.

Your response will illustrate my point far better than I would be able to.

How about you explain why discussing a major armed conflict is pathetic. Next why would picking a side be pathetic? Most view Russia as the aggressor so why would wanting Ukraine to successfully defend their country pathetic? Also why would rooting for our domestic victories be pathetic?
