  1. One delegation spokesman who was in an underground bomb shelter said he didn’t hear any missiles being intercepted thousands of feet above Kyiv. Well no shit.

  2. Understand folks, it is far too easy to manipulate any of us, not just the followers of one party. Be on your guard and get educated. An educated electorate are the enemy of any government.

  3. It`s the GBU-31 kits the Russians have to be more concerned about but that would mean western dumb iron conversions. Not a difficult endeavour.

  4. Do we know what missiles they are getting which versions? PAC-2 GEM , PAC-3 etc? I dont think that was specified.

  5.  @markgreen4612  Depends, they wont likely be getting PAC-3 MSE with RIG for example.

  6.  @jshike92  It is plausible Ukrainian SAM troops have been training on Patriot for a while. That would fit in with every other weapon donation timeframe / announcement.

  7.  THEY SUCK PUPPETSKEYS MEAT  that is a lie, the Saudis have had great success with their MM-104s.Granted we have seen a few fails but that is the same with every other SAM system.

  8.  @bongo6652  My thoughts too, it woul fit with every single system announcement so far.

  9.  @Slavic_Goblin  I doubt there is much manouvre in the terminal stage.

  10.  @jesselejarzar5114  Fuzing issues were fixed with later versions I believe and they are much faster now.

  11.  @Slavic_Goblin  Sorry I was a little vague, the manouver phase is likely to be in the cruise phase not descent when it will coast unpowered and it will be decelerating at that point. A difficult target but not insurmountable assuming an end to end track.

  12.  @Slavic_Goblin  As long as defences have solid end to end tracking, and it`s not going to be hard to track in the case of Kinzhal, especially considering the lauch platform - Mig-31 -there are interceptors with the capability to intercept them. Even better if those same interceptors are positioned close to the target. Sadly that limits targets that can be defended to a few high value ones. I am not saying it would be easy but it`s not impossible.

  13.  @Slavic_Goblin  ABM is not easy but a slower interceptor can take out a faster target if the launcher is in the right position. It just wont be doing a tail chase. And I have to reiterate, I dont see how that weapon will be doing any jinking once it has started its dive phase - not if it wants to actually hit something, unpowered it will have very little cross range capability.

  14.  @Slavic_Goblin  my thoughts on this weapon are moderated by the weapon it is modelled on - the standard Iksandr. It has the same body and is not a clean sheet design. It will likely share similar components other than a higher thrust motor and additional hardening etc. The small control surfaces look the same and there is no terminal seeker. After launch it follows a roughly ballistic profile so half of its flight path will be the dive phase, launched at range that phase would be significant in time and distance. It’s guidance method dictates its cross range capability, I’m not seeing how INS / GPS - unpowered dive and small control surfaces even if coupled with defensive aids like ESM etc would give it huge manoeuvre capability. I think it’s greatest asset is air launch - high speed and guidance nobody can jam - coupled with a nuclear warhead. As a conventional weapon used against well defended fixed targets it looks a good weapon but I’d be more worried if there was a ground launched version which means pop up attacks.

  15. Even Larry the Cat could be Defence minister. It is not a pressure job like Home Secretary.

  20.  @roketch  Kharkiv was thinly defended because the Russians moved an extra 16,000 troops to the Kherson region.

  22. "I will withdraw our people from global conflicts", yet another Trump lie and you dumb Republican voters fell for it.

  23. If the unthinkable happened, and it will not, imagine living under a man who decided to stop counting the legitimate voices of Americans half way through an Election. You would not have a President you would have a fascist dictator and American democracy would be dead.

  24. To be fair, the inbounds are not very difficult targets say compared to the ones Ukraine is facing. Iron Dome would be hopeless in Ukraine.

  25.  @stkhlear2566  They have gotten the cost down to about $40,000 per interceptor which is remarkable.

  26.  @CryoftheProphet  Your comment did not age well....

  27.  @CryoftheProphet  actually, you are incorrect. After George Floyd was murdered there was an enormous surge in Democrat voter registrations look it up. They overtook GOP registrations.

  28.  @CryoftheProphet  you were doing ok until your George Floyd tangent. People are spurred to action by singular events all over the world, your suggestion that only holds for Americans is wholly illogical. If people weighed every facet of any issue before they took action literally nothing would ever change for better or worse and you’d have stagnation. That literally doesn’t happen anywhere. The indisputable fact is the death of George Floyd helped trigger an uptick in pro Dem registrations. The timeline is an exact match. Stacey Adam’s was also instrumental in expanding voter registrations. People don’t have to share your rationale for taking sides in an issue.

  29.  @CryoftheProphet  "Floyds death was simply capitalized on in order to create a narrative, nothing more." Floyd`s murder IS the narrative, look, you are obviously a conservative Trump supporter which means you don`t have the emotional capacity to be honest about the worst character traits of either Trump or the conservative movement as a whole, that included a total lack of human empathy in any area that isn`t encompassed by your white privilege. I get it, even when you try to disguise it, what you are just shines through. The problem IS many conservative white Americans do not want to put their fists in the air because they are perfectly happy to maintain the status quo, and sadly what is considered a privilege for you is just the sort of basic humanity you wish to deny others. Your prize?? America just rejected Trumpism.

  35. Putin doesn’t have friends, only countries he can leverage for his own benefit. As for this African peace delegation, they are only there for their own political benefit. In truth they are pro Russian and I’m impressed at the patience Kyiv has to withstand their self indulgent bullshit photo Op.

  36. Putin was letting everybody know his “friends” are all disposable. If they are all too stupid to realise it, that just adds to the theatre.

  37. It will likely be used for very specific targets like Iranina SRBMs rather than wasted on drones.

  38. @Jacob, whats more embarrassing is you fail to understand that US Policy under Obama towards the DPRK is identical to the Trump administrations DPRK policy. The only difference is Trump sounds just like Kim and cant keep his mouth shut.

  39. Yes, they can form their own Army Divisions called the "SS", "Stupid Suckers".
