Can that British missile hit the bridge?
Not that that’s necessarily the best use of it right now.

The bridge is at extreme range from a launch point on the current front line. To avoid risking one of the (probably few) Su-24s modified to launch Storm Shadow they'll probably be launching from farther back and hitting closer targets.

Depends on what version they are getting I guess - the export version is only around 155 Miles but 350+ is being quoted for other versions. 350 would be plenty to hit the bridge from well behind the frontline.

Given that the export version is literally made for situations like this, probably the export version.

The Missile Technology Control Regime comes in to play here, and whether or not the UK Government wants to stick to the 300km/190mi limit for missile transfers.

Gating from Delve all the way to Outer loving Passage to go hot drop on “four rorquals and a nyx” as per some “friendly intel”, then hearing “okay take the bridge take the bridge jump jump jump WAIT poo poo gently caress poo poo DONT JUMP DONT JUMP FUUUUUUUCK” because it was actually one rorqual and four nyxes was the most boat-rear end boat fleet I’ve ever been on.

one time i worked for someone who hated my loving guts because he was a carebear whose alliance had been thoroughly owned by goonswarm and when i mentioned that i read Let's Plays on Something Awful he assumed that i also played EVE

said person wound up firing me out of spite, causing four other developers to quit, and then torpedoed the project's community because he kept banning people who wanted to know what the gently caress was going on

also he was also a terminally online neo-nazi who was super into kekistani flags

Kith posted:

I will never forget working on a game that had a guy who styled himself as the "manager" that hated my loving guts because he learned that I had an SA account. He was an EVE Carebear that had been bullied by Goonfleet and blamed SA for "destroying" Star Citizen after he had invested six figures into it, so he got revenge on all of goon-dom by making the workplace so absurdly toxic that it caused four other people (out of six) to quit in protest over how I was being treated. He then torpedoed the community by banning anyone who asked why the development team nearly evaporated overnight.

Said guy also claimed to be a former marine that had somehow managed to get a dishonorable discharge from unloading a clip into his leg after completing basic. He showed up to meetings drunk and constantly bitched about the VA "screwing him for life".

I played Eve Online for a grand total of about two minutes back when it first went free to play in like 2016(?), took one look at the interface and went "nope, not doing that", uninstalled it and haven't touched it since. That's my Eve Online story.

In actual Ukraine news, on today's episode of Ukraine: The Latest they talked about how things are noticeably heating up around Bakhmut with huge amounts of artillery flying around, as in more than usual even for that section of the front. The guy they have on the ground reporting from front wasn't entirely sure if it was Ukrainian or Russian guns (probably both). Counteroffensive hype has gotten large parts of eastern Ukraine wound up tight and there's a general sense of Something Big Is Going To Happen Soon going around. He also remarked on how there's journalists driving around eastern Ukraine breathlessly looking for convoys of military hardware that would suggest an offensive is about to happen.

e: also the US ambassador to South Africa has publicly accused SA of supplying weapons to Russia.
