zone posted:Russians haven't hit the broad side of a barn with their planes for the most part on the fronts. Trenches and occasionally the hiding places of Ukrainian soldiers, but the majority of the destruction of Ukrainian armored equipment has been because of ATGMs, drones, mines, artillery, and a small portion of tank on tank/IFV on IFV or similar. They'd have better luck massing together as much artillery as possible along the routes of attack, though with how much of it bit the dust in recent days, they'll probably find themselves not having enough to cover all the parts of the defense network as they might like. Yeah Russia had almost no PGMs for their planes at the start of the war, and what little they had is gone by now. This is why we've seen so many videos of Russian planes doing low altitude bombing runs, and why their helicopters kept doing that pitch-up rocket salvo thing. This isn't stuff they'd do if they had a steady supply of something like Hellfires or even guided bombs. Russian airpower is not a direct threat to Ukrainian armor, though it might be to support elements.

It seems like Russia is conducting another massive missile strike. Many more missiles were shot down over Kyiv and there's damage from falling debris. One person was injured and hospitalized. KCMA has warned people to remain in shelter. e: there have also been attacks in Kharkiv, where the air defense also worked again.

Look, those babies knew what they signed up for when they chose to be born in a country that chose to get de-nazified by the other country that allied with the nazis to attack poland which was perfectly justified because of nazi aggression which was the fault of the west, and if you believe otherwise you're a fool; also russia would never invade and even if they did invade they'd win instantly and even if they didn't win instantly it's immoral to fight back; and the moskva is fine and even if it isn't fine it's just in repairs and even if it's sunk, that's because of bad weather, and if it isn't because of bad weather, then it's a war crime on par with bombing a bridge which is simultaneously laughably ineffectual and a heinous act of provocation by the west such as warrants a renewed wave of air strikes against The Ukraine's strategic orphanages and tactical guide dog puppy training schools.

Probably not a HIMARS to their pocketbooks, but it'll smart some and generate discontent. Signed May 29, into effect June 1: Polish Interior Minister Mariusz Kaminski signed an order on May 29 suspending freight traffic for Russian and Belarusian vehicles across the border with Belarus, as reported by Polish news agency PAP. https://www.pap.pl/en/news/news%2C1578401%2Cpoland-suspends-freight-traffic-border-belarus-june-1.html

Lammasu posted:That reminds me of something that's been going around in my head for a while. In the States both public and private enterprise does the hell out of cost benefit analysis. So, is there some guy in the Russian government pointing out that all the resources they are expending isn't worth what they stand to get in return? Or did he just get thrown out a window? I'd imagine the response is somewhere between "shut up bitch or you are not getting paid" or just throwing the person suggesting this may not be the most efficient course of action out the window because of Russian oligarch yesmen culture or whatever you wanna call it. At least regarding the Kremlin side of things. Big Daddy Putin clearly knows what he is doing, questioning him means you are WEAK and super Christian macho straight Russia has no room for WEAKLINGS. As for the actual people hitting the button and making the missiles in the field, it is probably somewhere between "if I don't do this they will beat/shoot me and get another guy to do it, even though I know this is loving gruesome and stupid" to "all those nazis deserve it anyway, why would my officers and the news stations lie to me?" whether its more wanton terror on civilians or trying to argue that it might be better to save these missiles for the upcoming Ukrainian attack. If there's any military in the world that is going to get your rear end chaptered/executed for not following orders at all, it is going to be Russia. Are people still allowed to talk about the economy in Russia as well, or did that get shuttered to the blacklist?
