Trying to achieve with crybaby acts what they cannot achieve in battle. Their problem is, EVERYBODY hates a crybaby, ESPECIALLY A NAZI CRYBABY...

Since the start of the war the Russian invaders have been deliberately targeting civilians and I recall no small number of you pro-Russian ghouls bragging about it and celebrating it. ==

It is not true. Because if it was so that we saw now a destruction of Kiev alike Bakhmut.

Also the explosion this town was made by S300 missile which is antiaircraft missile and certainly is not used in the strike against a military targets on ground.

Ukie on opposite bombs civilian targets. Like today in Donetsk they bombed the civil bus full of people.

And Russia blew up a bus in Donetsk. ==

It is an absolute lie of Goebbels level. Ukies hate donbassian people for they had chosen Russia. Ukies bomb the center of Donetsk each day. Because the front is near it.

Russia will avenge Donbass civilians on a front line by killing more ukie soldiers.

Somehow I just knew that this would be your reply. You are addicted to “Link please”.

You really need to go into rehab where even people like you who are far on the left side of the Bell Curve can be taught how to research a simple, acknowledged fact.

The S300 has been extensively used by Russia for attacking ground targets. That’s not news.

If you had any knowledge of modern military equipment, you would know that modern large Surface-to-Air missiles are minimum altitude sensor fused. In other words they will detonate if they descend below a preset altitude and do not have a radar lock on a target. This is designed to prevent friendly forces fratricide.

The Russians have to disable this feature to allow the S300s to attack surface targets. This has been going on since last year.

Have you ever even seen a real, live, active SAM? From your previous posts I sincerely doubt it. Now who is the “dumb fuck”

What my previous posts? I worked around missiles and forgot about S-300 more than you ever knew, but still know more than you do.
Nobody uses S-300s against surface targets, except for limited anti-ship scenarios.
It cost a lot more than a specialized ground attack missile and lacks in range and firepower.

It is not technically possible. S300 simply doesn’t have no homing device in it to direct it on a ground target except the radar homing like any antiaircraft missile.

All specialists including western know that.

But ukies still use this myth just to redirect blame when their own AA missiles strike their own people like in Uman yesterday. Or remember not long ago their missile struck a people in Poland? It was same ukie S300 again.

It is all for propaganda purpose. And it is working on dummies like you.

There is no such thing in old soviet types of S300 which ukies possess. Also S300 simply doesn’t have the targeting of a ground targets. It is a completely different type of targeting from AA missile.

If there was say Iskander missile or any type of bomb-drone then possible. But S300 is AA missile with a short range and radar homing. And Uman is located about 500 kms from any Russia held territory. AA missile simply can’t fly that far.

You could be right about working around missiles. It takes a lot of time to sweep the floors in the warehouses where the missile components are stored.

Yet Donetsk “Bombed by Ukraine for 9 years” looks like nothing like Bakhmut and Mariupol. Why is that? Obviously, Bolshevik lies are exposed here. Only the Kremlin’s useful idiots buy such self serving nonsense.

In fact it is Russian Supramcists who consider Ukrainians to be inferior to Russians from Russia. I’ve seen Russia videos of Russian mobiks refusing to be commanded by Ukrainian Quislings from Donbas.

You come here thinking you can BS dumb Americans who do not understand the situation. Unfortunately for you some of have been Russia and Ukraine. We’ve seen and heard from Russians what they think of who they consider their colonial subjects.

Russians super power and imperial fantasies are dying in the mud of Ukraine. Forever.

“Russia Using S-300 Air Defense Missiles To Attack Ground Targets In Ukraine”

And Russia has officially acknowledged that the S300 can be repurposed for ground attack as they tested it in May 2017.

“The most recent instance of this was in May 2017, when the Air Defense Forces of Russia’s Eastern Military District (EMD) had used the S-300 system during an exercise in Khabarovsk to destroy targets imitating ‘armored vehicles of the enemy, as per a report by the state-owned Ria Novosti.”

So once again you are uninformed yet trying to speak with authority.

It is a western source and it disseminates virtually gossips. S300 Missiles may fly about 75 km. Just forget for once about targeting and just consider this one: 75 km range. S300 is a ballistic missile so it can’t fly further then amount of fuel allows. But let us double it. Say S300 flies 150 km= 2*75 km.

Now town Uman. It is located south of Kiev. Closest territory belonged to Russia to Uman is a left bank of river Dnepr across town Kherson. Let us calculate a distance between Uman and Kherson. Google maps give 190 miles equals 305 km. It is a twice distance beyond technically possible range of any S300 missiles(150 km). SO you see no S300 even as ukies said Russia launches on ground targets can ever reach town Uman at all.

But targeting is a most impossible problem at all to send S300 against ground targets. Because S300 has a homing by radar ONLY. It means is if no radar reflection from target then S300 can’t home it. How Russia may make such reflection on town Uman 300 km away? The town is way behind any horizon line (30 km) from any place belonged to Russia there. It is a theoretically possible to do from Earth orbit ONLY.

SO you see how ridiculous it sounds ukie claim about Russia uses s300 missiles on ground.

In Russia there is 200 different ethnicities live. And all of them is recognized and have rights. Supremacism is forbidden in Russia. You may be anyone including polack in Russia and be respected and have equality. In Siberia we have a lot of polacks there. They all live in peace. All the ethnical divisiveness is coming to Russia specifically from abroad.

Also Russia never had any colonies. Russia was an imperial power. That is right. It included Warsaw for many years. But Warsaw wasn’t colony but imperial town. All polacks there was a imperial citizens same like any other citizen including Russians.

The S300 range is 120km to 400km.

Okay, I’ll agree with you that Russian weapons are weaker and less effective than I believed they were.

300 km is a S300 RADAR range aka the target DETECTION range that why it is called S300! But NOT missile range. Meaning the radar can see aircraft long before the missile can hit it. It is same for any antiaircraft system.
The missiles of S300 can be with a different range but usually about 75 km. Because it is practically enough. The missile with 400 km range will be HUGE. Like Iskander for example which only 2 of them per one system.

There is such missiles with range 400 km for S400 and S500 new systems but they are dedicated for space targets. For satellite and ballistic missile shooting. They are very rare today and costly.
