British Tabloid
Occupied Ukraine. Where years before the Russian Invasion, ethnic Russians were being killed, shelled, and physically and culturally oppressed by their Ukrainian Government.
Obviously, this neutral and factual account demonstrates Ukraine is sailing towards a victory soon and everything claiming otherwise is just Russia propaganda.
You pro-ukraine child-molesting, human trafficking, democrat money laundering, idiots should have won this war according to all your propaganda. In any other war in the history of the world all these “wins” would have won the war by now.
Sun UK has the most ridiculous headlines.
… and the killing just goes on. At what point does Putin say enough?
True or not, Soviet...oops, I mean Russian doctrine calls for the capture of territory at ANY price. The soldiers in all conflicts, since before 1905 know they are cannon fodder. Putin, like all Czars of Russia have no problem losing men and material in order to capture the objective. Remember the submarine “Kursk” sinking? NATO offered help to rescue stranded men but the Russkies took four days to find the submarine and rejected all help. Who cares? Putin, Stalin, Nicholas II? It is a long tradition of seeing the Russian man or woman as an animal.
While I appreciate your dedication to this topic, I found it hard to take this article too seriously. When a paper uses terms like “mad Vlad fighting force,” can it really be more than a tabloid?
With a headline I don't need to read the entire article to gain the vital essence.
Russia has had and used the ability to shoot down HIMARS and Storm Shadow missiles for at least 2 years now. I know I posted about attempts to make it seem like HIMARS were a new game changing armament only to discover the Russians had been shooting them down for some time.
Usually the HIMARS were reported to have an impressive range, and then when I checked on a map they were fired short range. Then I discovered the US was sometimes buying SOviet era launchers so the HIMARS were not going to get those long range targets.
I am just saying this article is a) based on no known sources, just 'reports say' and b) once again in this war, weapons in use for some time are trotted out as game changers. Russia knew how to shoot down Storm Shadow missiles 2 years ago.
Footage Shows First Documented U.K. Storm Shadow Taken Down by Russia
By
Jun 30, 2023Russia may have shot down its first recorded Storm Shadow missile today, according to a weapons tracker in Ukraine.
The United Kingdom-supplied missiles were introduced into Ukraine's war arsenal in May at the urging of British Defence Minister Ben Wallace, who had said their capabilities—such as fire-and-forget technology and fully autonomous guidance—gave Ukraine its "best chance to defend themselves against Russia's continued brutality." A particular number of provided missiles was not declared.
Within days of Wallace's announcement, Moscow's Defense Ministry claimed it had "intercepted seven Storm Shadow long-range cruise missiles, three HARM anti-radar missiles, and seven HIMARS multiple rocket launchers" in the span of one day. Neither the UK nor Ukraine ever confirmed Russia's claim regarding the Storm Shadows.
One word: Hypersonics.
peeuuutin humiliated!
