ethanol posted:How do you shoot down an iskander? Isn’t that an extremely fast missile? The Iskander is a VERY large missile. It's basically a theater level weapon about 250-350m range. It flies hypersonic for much of it's route. There are a couple options for taking one out. It's weakest points are shortly after firing before it reaches full speed and as it reaches it's target. There are a variety of different options for taking them out, the Patriot system for example shoots smaller, faster missiles to destroy it in air. The Phalanx system uses a Vulcan cannon and sensors to track and destroy the missile in a web of lead. Savvy and skilled pilots have taken then out with guns on their aircraft but it is a VERY hard thing to do and I am not entirely sure it would be possible with modern missiles.

jaete posted:What the gently caress? You originally said I've always assumed by the "border" in this case what people mean is a direct path from Paris/Berlin to Moscow without having to go through unaffiliated or Warsaw Pact countries to get there. While the Baltic states are NATO there's no easy ground path to them to resupply a large border contingent like there is in Poland which has easy logistics connections to other key NATO nations.

CommieGIR posted:Its Capital Expenditures vs Operational Expenditures. A lot of companies do this with assets, leasing or renting instead of owning. Governments too. The research vessel I work on is owned by a Norwegian shipping concern via a Liberian subsidiary and leased to NSF. There was a big push to own the replacement vessel (hull is over 40 now, ship getting old) outright, but last I heard momentum was back towards continuing the lease model.

Servetus posted:Until the Moscow stock market reopens after this week they can say the stock numbers are whatever they want. Next week is going to be special though. I will be surprised if they actually do open. However don't know what actually happens when the market stays closed for an extended period of time in a country that is already sort of financially hosed?

How the gently caress does a pilot gun down a missile moving several km/second?? That sounds like it could only happen if you were already shooting and it just happened to fly by

mlmp08 posted:I think you missed the forest for the trees. A bunch of tactical level soldiers blasting on short range radios stuff like “1st squad eat food, 2nd squad has guard shift for the next 4 hours,” is not terribly useful for determining grand operational plans. But that's not quite what's transmitted on military radio nets, callsigns, reports returns and requests, sitreps, grids, for example if you have multiple frequencies transmitting from the same location it can be identified as a hq vehicle or location, if it's unencrypted even better. This can then be used to create target packs for DF's.

There are several variants of Iskander. Early ones are ballistic and go high, newer varients hypersonic and stay relatively low.

Apparently, there was some suspicion that she might have done a very quiet protest earlier (apparently Russians opposed to the war have been blacking out their profile pictures on social media, and she appeared in an all-black outfit): quote:Elvira Sakhipzadovna Nabiullina, head of the Central Bank of Russia, is famed for sending coded messages through her choice of clothing and brooches. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2022/03/01/vladimir-putins-central-bank-boss-has-blood-hands/ Not sure the truth of all that, but it's possible that was her intent.

So are we thinking that missile probably had technical problems rather than being shot down? Seems likely given the shoddy state of their other equipment
