Yes, "had".

Now the cartel or warlord who bought them has a high-maintenance problem with no spare parts, and some Russian general has a very nice hunting lodge on his dacha.

i love how this weird monarchist ghouls dreams were all crushed. He was a true believer dipshit but he wanted to play the long game and slowly cut ukraine apart with proxy war and referendums and poo poo. Instead putin decides to pull a hitler and fucks up, kills his cause forever along with a gently caress ton of russian military. at best he ends up quietly working some desk job if putin survives. if not, he will die or get sold out to ukraine in some settlement.

Russian AA is very advanced. More advanced than you can imagine.

It's already learned that the only winning move is not to play.

That's unfair to cats as they have redeeming qualities.

to be fair, some of them are probably sitting around more or less where they should be, manned by people who aren't really trained to use them or have no initiative and don't get the order to fire in time

I'd say he has to stay close to the toilet in case he poops himself again, but if that was the case, surely he'd be visiting the troops closer to the front more since they've gotten some good ones.

I havent seen the video, but the us has given ukraine some excaliburs, which is a gps guided 155 round accurste w/in something stupid like 3m.

Regular 155s are accurate to w/in 15-20m iirc. But the kill radius is roughly 50m so :v

Edit: these are rough numbers as i havent done a artillery in over a decade

The 15-20m --> 3m is the difference between destroying armored vehicles reliably vs. not.

Um, ACTUALLY, AIM-9 is short range Air to Air. Totally different problem set.

Not being able to link the videos does not mean it's preferable to just describe the gruesome images instead

Please don't and if you think it's newsworthy (think carefully) then include content warnings.

More or less; those vehicles aren't going to stick around to see if they get hit next time, so its first volley or lost target.

And depending on the vehicle, destroyed, disabled, out of combat anyway.

I mean, the Russians have been willing to engage in diplomacy since the first week. It's just that their deal has always consisted of Ukraine crawling to them on their hands and knees. Has that changed, and if so by how much?

Most likely just a delay tactic to get their problem of "long-distance drones blowing up strategic bombers" to get sorted out. Those bombers are actually important to the Russian high command, and they have no idea how many drones Ukrainians have or can produce, with or without western assistance.

I think it has been said several times that as long as Putin is in the driver's seat no cease fire or peace is seriously on the table, because it only gives Russians time to resupply and sort out their logistics problems, and in few years or even months after stalling the negotiations to go at it again, peace treaty or not.
