Ukraine - Russia Conflict

It is an old standard operating procedure. In Sea Harriers we also did toss bombing. We used to feed the coordinates of the target in our navattack system and than start a pull up at 4.5G. The system used to calculate the release point and release the bomb at a point in the trajectory that it will go in a toss trajectory and land on the target. In this the Russian Helos are firing the rockets in the lofted mode to increase the range of the rockets. The weapons computer onboard has probably the required ballistics of the rockets to be able to create a firing solution when using this method.
I thought it might be used to fool tactical radars and trigger an artillery response, so they give their positions away. Very indiscriminate though, they could land anywhere with no real guidance.
 
They don't have much debt. The Russia govt's total foreign debt is merely $60B.



Of course. Something Russia wants to avoid. Which is why they are only sieging most of the cities.



Lol, those oil reserves require tons of investments and are not necessarily cheap. Even India has massive shale oil reserves, enough to make India an exporter, but it's very expensive to get it out. If those reserves were accessible, Ukrainians would be drilling them all out by now.
Because no will lend to them because there's no return on investment. They can only borrow from poorer nations who have weaker currencies. No one will buy Ruble bonds with £s, $s or Euros and those are the big investors.

There's a lot of bombarding going on. Enough for the ICJ to call it a war crime.

The EU has more than enough money to extract it. And clearly it can be done otherwise Russia wouldn't be bothered enough to risk a war and huge economic sanctions.

Nope.

FOAB is a weapon of mass killing. The number of civilian lives lost will be too high. As I said, Russia is not going in Ukraine for a mass murder.
Ukrainian air defences are stronger than you think. Russia do not have air superiority.
 
Aah ! Just like the 30 MiG 29s whose delivery was to be effected immediately to the UkAF by Poland .

What about agile warheads? What about glider? I think you are over optimist.
The best method for a Russia/China-capable missile defence is to use a single reusable LV to put 4063 KKVs into a LEO orbit upfront. If a missile gets launched, it get nailed in the upper atmosphere around 75-80km altitude above it's own launch point. That's before the warheads even leave the bus, so MARVs and HGVs would be rendered irrelevant. This system was referred to as Brilliant Pebbles.
I had told you all that a corps level force is defending the Mariapul area and they are all neo nazis who have been supplied with the finest weapons by NATO. This are will witness the worst fighting of this war as the neo nazis are using residents as a shield and residential areas to attack Russians.
Putin is a neo-nazi.

Instead of venting here , focus on Iran . They've been making it a point to demonstrate your impotence time & again & all BJ could bring himself to do against Iran was suck his thumb in protest .

Wouldn't you think newer technologies will take care of that as time passes?

The S-550 is said to handle both types, and is expected to enter testing by 2025. Why wouldn't the US have a similar timeline for their own technologies?

Looks more like the Battle of Berlin eh Paddy instead of the Battle for Stalingrad as you envisaged. Surrounded on 3 sides with the sea on the 4th side. Got to hand it to the neo Nazi Azov or the original Nazis . They've got guts. No Dunkirk or Singapore level mass surrender stuff here . It's a fight to the finish . No quarters asked for . None given.

🤣🤣

Here's what we think of the Ukrainian war Paddy & Sweetie. This is laying it thick & deep to BJ & Biden . Modi's basically telling them both to go get stuffed & there's nothing either can do except check below to see if they still have their balls which in BJ's case is extremely doubtful.

@BMD ; @WHOHE

Countries with surplus do not need to borrow. They generally invest. Like this:

Russia's debt to GDP ratio is less than 20%.

This is boost phase interception. It has been discussed a lot in US military research. Result has always been same : It is hard to achieve. Best it can be achieved against likes of North Korea but against likes of Russia or China? not possible! This relies on detection of launch using IR signature of a launch (IIRC) using electro optic satellites like US SBIR. If and when war reaches this stage : those satellites will be taken out first using ASAT weapons leaving a gaping hole in any kind of surveillance.

There is another method of boost phase interception; using IR based A2A missiles. Very much possible against likes of north korea, but nothing is possible against likes of big countries like china and russia.
