As in, they're wildly expensive and are predictable due to the missile not being able to take the force of the wind at anything other than nearly dead on.

I don't know if they have something else but I believe this missile is just a ballistic Iskander strapped to a plane. So it's hypersonic for a while... while in a predictable ballistic trajectory.

Budzilla posted:The point I was making with my post was supercruise isn't some exotic 5th fighter technology with engine design. The F-16XL used the same engine as other fighters of its generation and those fighters with the same engine couldn't achieve supercruise. Klyith posted:Or you could just point out how plenty of fighter jets in history, back to the goddamn English Electric Lightning, have been able to supercruise if they had a minimal payload. TIL, thank you both! mobby_6kl posted:I don't know if they have something else but I believe this missile is just a ballistic Iskander strapped to a plane.

ritter's channel is like an alternate reality his analysis of the ukraine war comes from interviews with douglas macgregor, who has been claiming that ukraine will collapse in mere days on a monthly basis (literally) since february 2022 and also regularly claims poo poo like, russia destroyed 9 ukrainian brigade Hqs, killed 1000 officers and 300 nato officers in a single strike And people eat this poo poo up like its real

The tankie Wagner cope process went like this 1. Wagner doesn't exist. 2. Wagner might exist but it's 20 guys in a basement. 3. Wagner exists but it's just a tiny PMC. 4. Wagner exists but it's only some oligarchic security force. 5. Wagner isn't a professional army. 6. Wagner isn't recruiting from prisons, they're a professional army. 7. Wagner's *prisoner* army is OWNING Ukraine's state-mobilized soldiers, Nazi Zelenskyy should just take the NATO money and run to Switzerland while he can!!! 8. Wagner doesn't exist.

https://twitter.com/wartranslated/status/1657749631365726212 Apparently Yuriy Butusov claimed that the colonel who got demilitarized recently near Bakhmut was, for Russians, a tough customer, so his loss put a large monkey wrench in the occupiers' attempt at defending their positions.

Toxic Mental posted:The tankie Wagner cope process went like this Anyway this doesn't matter because of Azov. They are real, and they are not my friend. They are the nazis that prove Ukraine is a nazi state run by nazis. Nuance like "Nations have many competing political elements within them and not all of them are good" doesn't even go through my brain. I don't even know what I typed out. Doesn't look like anything to me at all.

https://twitter.com/wartranslated/status/1657675029813796866 Murz once again fell into the depths of despair concerning Russia's situation. He predicts that instead of leaving behind territory, Russia will simply send more reinforcements, and that Ukraine now has superiority in terms of artillery and drones near the Bakhmut front.

Toxic Mental posted:The tankie Wagner cope process went like this Seeing this one out in the wild last year was crazy. Wagner's fuckery is so well known from Syria and Africa that pretending they never actually existed made no sense at all. (Unless you've committed yourself to dehumanizing all Ukranians as Nazis, and thus needed to ignore Russia's Nazi problem so you could continue to feel good about civilians getting bombed or whatever) It also made me realize that nearly all the "sources" for western pro-Russian twitter were just unhinged random blogs that were treated like gospel despite obvious red flags (Russians with Attitude, anyone?).

Another commonality is that they *never* attribute any of Ukraine's decisions to Ukraine itself, it's all America and the evil west puppeteering them from behind the scenes, it can't be that they decided to fight for their homes and lives to avoid being genocided.

Well maybe the bracelet only looked like aswastika due to compression, but the JPEG compression algorithm is designed to create vaguely swastika looking artefacts around people who emanate an aura of nazism

Slight little swing backs. Real shaping going on now. Not just a few meters. These are moving the Russian lines back. And remember there'd very little coordination on real time so these are seriously bad for Russia.
