Are they actually getting ATACMS, because I heard some talk about the Kerch bridge?They are getting dozens of launchers. You can't compare HiMARS/GMLRS as rocket artillery like Russia and Ukraine has they should be considered more like air support carrying precision SDB's. These are sniper weapons. They don't need to launch a salvo to hit a target. If they find a group of Russian armored vehicles parked close to each other being replenished all it takes is one air bursting 60 feet above them to take them out. Ukraine finds a Russian command post one rocket is all they will need instead of a salvo. If Ukraine locates 12 static targets one 50kms, other 60kms, 70kms, 80kms, 90kms, with 7 other targets 200 meters from these targets Ukraine would need one launcher carrying 12 rockets or two HiMARS.
That's why Ukraine getting these weapons is going to change the battlefield heavily towards Ukraine's favor once deployed. Russian's know this which is why they are crapping their pants.
It really is going to get ugly for Russian forces soon.
Publicly they are not just like they at first said no to Harpoons and MLRS/HiMARS but it is likely Ukraine is also being trained to use ATACMS incase they get them.Are they actually getting ATACMS, because I heard some talk about the Kerch bridge?
Apparently India is the bad guy:
According to it, the EU took 61% of Russia's fossil fuel exports during the war's first 100 days, worth about 57 billion euros ($60 billion). The bloc contributed 85% of Russia’s revenues from pipeline gas exports, 75% of its revenues from oil product sales, 75% from LNG, 50% from crude oil and 30% from coal.![]()
EU bought 61% of Russia's fossil fuels in first 100 days of Ukraine war - Times of India
International Business News: Though the bloc aims to reduce gas shipments by two-thirds this year, an embargo is not in the cards currently.timesofindia.indiatimes.com
US is discovering a lot many things lately.
Some EU countries also need to show to US that they are with US, it will be immature to believe that whole EU is wants to fight the Russia or are against US.
War of attrition is taking a toll on Ukranians. More than 1000 troops killed or injured per day. That's not a sustainable loss.
Profiteering from the deaths caused by a colonialist empire after spending a century criticising Europe for doing the same historically. Who's the hypocrite now?![]()

In ‘golden age’ of margins, Indian private refiners profit
Indian private refiners like Reliance, Nayara have been among the biggest buyers this year of discounted Russian crude.www.aljazeera.com
So Indian private refiners have become the most profitable refiners in the world today because of Russian crude. The supply route is also changing from Suez to Iran, cutting down transport time to just 3 weeks from the current 7-10 weeks.
The refiners have reduced supplies to the domestic market and are making windfall gains in the export market, including Europe.
State refiners are struggling as usual. They are selling well below their input costs.
We don't know what the occupiers thought when they built a pontoon bridge to force the river to Luhansk region
Zhytomyr paratroopers destroyed two BMP-2 of the Russian occupiers
Against enemies. In Mariupol, the resistance of locals against the occupiers has entered an active phase. The adviser to the mayor Petro Andryushchenko reported about it. He noted that almost a week ago, two tractors and three large truck trailers burned down in the parking lot of the Russian Ministry of Emergencies. The occupation authorities named arson as the reason. And a few days ago, in the crowd for the humanitarian, an unknown person stabbed the back of the Russian Minister. The wound was fatal. Andryushchenko stressed that punishment awaits all invaders and collaborators.
Only the leaders are scratching their heads. I do not rate Schulz's chances at the next German election.The French and Germans are scratching their heads at this very moment.
At least the Germans have realised how screwed up their relations with the US had become.
If that were really the case Russia would have won already. Iraq suffered roughly that rate of losses in the 1991 Gulf War, and they lost inside 6 weeks. Putin's number are ridiculous. Putin is ridiculous.War of attrition is taking a toll on Ukranians. More than 1000 troops killed or injured per day. That's not a sustainable loss.
Who's official numbers?That's merely their official numbers.


Dear God, does this actually rate as news? I pointed this out like 15-20 years ago. In fact it's so long ago I don't even remember.US is discovering a lot many things lately.
