don't forget most of the pinpoint strikes on ships and for assassinating generals and other higher ups has been via stormshadow i'm guessing it's because the US didn't want much blowback and the UK was like 'what are they going to do? Novichok us?'

WoodrowSkillson posted:i dunno maybe those missiles could have been used to blow up ukrainian troops and defensive emplacements but what do i know im just a guy not a tactical genius like the russian generals They were most likely aimed at either back line command and control or energy infrastructure. Not sure why you would buy into Ukrainian propaganda that Russia just randomly targets civilians for funsies

Not sure why you would buy into Ukrainian propaganda that Russia just randomly targets civilians for funsies cause Russia has been dumb as gently caress in this reddit rear end war and them loving up and hitting other poo poo like they did earlier in the war again is entirely believable. happy to be wrong if its all ukrainian propaganda still don't think 30 missiles will do much to hamper ukrainian industry, same as their attacks on energy infrastructure did not do much to alter things either.

also there's not a ton of difference in practice between targeting dual use civilian infrastructure and targeting civilians. That's just "dehousing" all over again. There is a crucial difference in that if the motive is military expediency rather than deliberate massacre it implies they'd quit when the war is over rather than wanting to keep pushing until they're all dead (ie Israel) but that's not a lot of comfort if the missile falls on you

Ardennes posted:Yeah, it got them really hot under the collar, too bad about cities across Ukraine being slammed and everything. If Russia is reacting emotionally to losing a warship by just slamming Ukrainian cities and everything, that would be pretty stupid and emotional of them. Fair chance that with this level of attack and the targeting and physical preparation, it was already planned in advance of Russia losing a warship in port. Not clear yet if this is a one-off or if this is the start of the expected winter attack on civil power and heating infrastructure.

Also while the west can, in theory, replace military assets from stockpiles replacing infrastructure is much more expensive and time consuming Nix Panicus has issued a correction as of 17:14 on Dec 29, 2023 |

Ardennes posted:How should it have been phrased? the idea that Russia would respond to its own inability to protect its ships in port, by bombarding multiple Ukrainian cities is kind of something i'd expect to be posted in the gbs thread. Like I don't think Russia is really wasting missiles on 'maternity centers', but i think your blithe responses could be interpreted as agreeing that the bombardment was both extremely broadly targeted and that this was a good thing. At the end of the day if Russia can't keep these ships safe then loving move them. And if these targets were important, why did a ship have to get blown up before the attack was launched? The optics are so poo poo, it's just compounding on their failure.

Perhaps you missed me replying to another post, arguably, I think they may have timed it for a reason but otherwise they have been launching strikes on and off across the war and this happens to be one of the largest ones. The whole idea this is the result of steam coming out of Putin’s ears is ridiculous, but it may also be a timed response as well. Also, at a certain point, it doesn’t makes sense if Russia can’t do anything if one of their ships gets hit or whatever. At the end of the day, the Russians have a list of known targets, but not a infinite supply of missiles, so eventually a big raid is going to happen if there is enough ammo for it.

According to a Sky News clip on the attacks it was more than 100 missiles and some drones, aimed at civilian targets like schools and hospitals, and this is all very perplexing because Russia is famously very short on cruise missiles.

sleepy Joe speaks Statement from President Joe Biden on Russia’s Aerial Assault on Ukraine | The White House www.whitehouse.gov - Fri, 29 Dec 2023 posted:Overnight, Russia launched its largest aerial assault on Ukraine since this war began. This massive bombardment used drones and missiles, including missiles with hypersonic capability, to strike cities and civilian infrastructure all across Ukraine. Strikes reportedly hit a maternity hospital, a shopping mall, and residential areas—killing innocent people and injuring dozens more. It is a stark reminder to the world that, after nearly two years of this devastating war, Putin’s objective remains unchanged. He seeks to obliterate Ukraine and subjugate its people. He must be stopped.

So is that Ukranian site full of poo poo when it says Valerii stated that most of the targets were military and industrial with some of the other targets hit being close to these or is western media just conveniently not reporting that?

He probably could have just accepted his plummeting popularity in 2021 and retired from politics to his foreign mansions loaded down with grift money, but instead he decided to flirt with the great satan and now here we are Shame there are no elections he can gracefully lose to hand off the disaster to someone else

Yeah it sounded at least over 100+ drones/missiles so certainly it was one over the largest single day strikes. Ardennes has issued a correction as of 19:16 on Dec 29, 2023 |
