The M1A1 “Long Tom” was a WW2 era howitzer. The M777 with standard M795 projectiles can reach 14.6 miles, 19 miles with M795E1 base bleed and 25 miles with Excalibur.

I have no idea why they would pick a standard range arty piece, when better long range arty is available. To say nothing of HIMARS.
“real interest and intelligent discussion”
Is that what you imagine that your repetitive personal insults constitute?
They have no relation to the topic at hand, and after the first dozen times that you say the same thing, how much real interest do you expect them to garner?
The topic at hand has been posted 24x7x365 and in reality is just a collection of Speedy’s replies to nobody on the thread.
You can type this with a straight face while being ruled by the Biden Regime after a coup here in America?
“Two Russian MT-LB armoured vehicles were destroyed by the Ukrainian 44th Artillery Brigade after the targets were discovered by a recon unit of the 65th Mechanized Brigade in the vicinity of Robotyne, #Zaporizhzhia Oblast.”

Maybe janitor in the MoD?
“A number of Russian sources, including RBK, say that General Surovikin was removed as the commander of the Russian Aerospace Forces and moved to another position in the MoD.”

He displays the same behavior every day and I remark on it when I see it. The very essence of a forum. Sorry not sorry.
The last two memes by wild show exactly what he is. As Franklin said give up liberty for security and you get neither.
So now to Putin for his gas and give up democracy, sure I can see that coming from a Russian

Slight damage?
“a collection of Speedy’s”...
...posts related to the topic. They are not replies to anybody or nobody - they are contributions of new material.
I like that they are broken out into discrete pieces that can be replied to individually, rather than one post incorporating many different discussion points. I look forward to the news that he collects and posts for us every day on this important topic.
It is a matter of taste as to how they are posted (PIF posts a single consolidated collection of those extracts that he curates for us every day - also valid).
Nope. It is just underhanded, deceptive behavior designed to push dissenting replies down the page and out of mind.
(Do) “You Prefer Russia’s Gas or Europe’s Democracy?”
That question has been clearly answered - on an historic scale.
Europe has cut off Russia’s gas (a market that took Russia almost a century to build), and replaced it with long term contracts from other suppliers (Norway, the USA and Algeria were the biggest winners).
After several months of huge price spikes during the rapid transition, natural gas prices in Europe (Dutch TTF) are back down below where they were before Russia’s latest invasion (Feb 2022). European inventories are already filled for next Winter, and new infrastructure has already been built out, so that they never need Russian gas again.
The Russian fields that supplied Europe are not connected to pipelines or other infrastructure that could allow export elsewhere (as LNG for example), except for about 5% of their former volume.
All that former business is lost. It would take until 2030 to get a new pipeline built if they were pushing it, but instead projects have been put on hold.
Another one announced today (Business to Business), as reported by OilPrice.com:
“The United States’ largest producer of liquefied natural gas (LNG), Cheniere Energy (NYSE:LNG), has struck a deal with Germany’s BASF SE (OTCQX:BASFY) to supply the chemical giant with 0.8 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of LNG to the chemicals giant.
The BASF deal is one of several long-term supply deals Cheniere has signed so far this year.”
...”in June, Cheinere entered another LNG sale and purchase agreement with Equinor ASA (NYSE:EQNR) that will see the Norwegian national oil company purchase 1.75M metric tons/year of LNG on a free-on-board basis for a purchase price indexed to the Henry Hub price, for a 15-year term.”
I tried the split posts but I realized that I would not be able to reference them later on; now I have a record of every post since April 2022. Plus its just time consuming; there is so much info.
“I tried the split posts”
You do whatever works for you. I certainly appreciate all the work that you do for us collecting that info. I find valuable new info virtually every time I read through it, which is about 6-7 days a week for me.
This criticism of format is the logical equivalent of an ad hominem attack - nothing about the facts or logic of the issue, but an unrelated (essentially baseless) attempt to impugn credibility.
Thanks again for your posts.
