A pro Kremlin news channel also reported nearly 10k killed. It’s half looking likely that the death toll is actually as severe as the Ukrainians have been claiming.
-
I probably am.

Anti air won’t be everywhere in Ukraine, it’ll be focussed in the battle space on threat vectors and high value areas. Russian intelligence will be constantly mapping this so mission planners can design flight paths to minimise the threat of these systems. They just don’t need to maintain supersonic flight. And that’s the reality in almost every war unless the enemy have total situational awareness of the air domain. Which frankly neither side have here.

No to the food, probably a substantial yes to the other people one.

His name is Dmitry, but he’s in Gulag now…

You literally said it’s strange it’s flying subsonic! Then came out with all sorts of reasons to justify your ‘joke’ that it must be an old gen missile. It’s totally fitting the MO of the missile it’s alleged to be. But apparently you knew that. LOL f***ing hell like, is it you or me that’s autistic here!? LOL
-
With respect, the only claim I made was that super sonic missiles utilise sub sonic flight. Which is factually correct. You claimed the fact it was travelling sub sonic meant it wasn’t a super sonic missile. Which is incorrect. You could’ve just said “huh didn’t know that, fair” but you wanted to be clever.
-
Every statement in the history of humanity has been based on assumptions. That doesn’t make everything a guess. You said that it must be an old soviet era missile because it’s travelling sub sonic. Which is ignorant to how modern cruise missiles are designed to work. Even next generation cruise missiles are being designed to utilise sub sonic flight.
-
I’m not guessing, it’s allegedly a kalibr cruise missile which has been extensively used in combat and has reasonably well known performance. It’s totally standard for super sonic cruise missiles to fly sub sonic and had nothing to do with ‘tech’. Sub sonic speed has benefits, regardless if ‘new tech’ allows sustained super sonic speed.
-
Where you saw it was low threat. That’s why it was sub sonic. The entire flight path of a cruise missile for any given mission is designed to minimise risk before the weapon is even fired.
-
Not for the entire flight time they don't. They often only utilise super sonic speeds in their terminal attack phase to reduce the risk from anti-air defences. Sub-sonic is more fuel efficient when travelling in a low threat environment.

If I was in that crew my arse would be twitching on re entry!
-
That’s a bold statement… A message to Ukraine? Cosmonauts wear yellow-and-blue flight suits for trip to space station | Space WWW.SPACE.COM Was it a show of support for the besieged nation?
-
Seen pictures of a working type cocker spaniel that colour. f**k knows where it came from but it'll be a gold mine I reckon.

Treacherous whores spreading the enemies lies!

You must be using a VPN because that site forbidden on my browser...

I f***ing love that the reporters just demoted their guest four ranks! And that is where journalism is at these days...
-
All the social justice battles merge into one.
-
Did your man elaborate on why he felt the way he did towards the Ukrainian government? Was it just the lack of preparation or is the feeling they shouldn't have pushed for NATO membership or what?
-
I expect that is edited to just show the bad bits but what is shown sounds totalitarian. I'm fascinated to see how this plays out.
-
It's more of a grey area of free speech, but if you consider that large social media platforms are as much a part of the power structure governing democratic countries as the houses of parliament then there's been considerable effort from these to censor views that do not fit. Traditionalists take the view that these SM companies are private entities and so not subject to free-speech but I think society has evolved and we need to consider that government extends beyond parliament. I'm not sure where I stand on it tbh.
-
This lad? You’re on the same line of thought as me now. I think full sleeves are the new handle bar moustache. I’m not saying anything for certain, other than I respect Emile's voice. The rest is just speculation. If it was particularly shady then I suspect the photo wouldn't have been taken or an understanding would have been agreed it would not be shared. And the truth is the sort of calibre of soldier pictured below is probably not needed or worth risking for simply training irregulars in Ukraine right now. His skills might be better doing other things...
-
I'd take Emile at his word tbh mate. He's a former Royal Marine himself and has made a career of independent journalism in warzones since. If he says the fella in the picture is former military then I wouldn't doubt it off hand.
-
I wonder how ‘former’ this fella is?
