Devastating moment Russian troops are wiped out by Ukrainian HIMARS for the second time in a week
Daily Mail ^ | 2/22/2024 | Chris Jewers

A devastating new HIMARS missile strike has killed dozens of Russian troops, shocking drone footage from Ukraine appears to show.

If confirmed, it would be the second such attack by Ukraine in as many days, after Vladimir Putin was dealt a devastating blow on Wednesday by a HIMARS missile which is reported to have killed 65 Russian soldiers during a training exercise.

New video, captured by a drone high above a Russian training ground in the occupied Kherson region, is said to show the second attack carried out by Ukraine using the powerful US-supplied weapons this week.

The clip opens by showing a gathering of people - reportedly Russian soldiers - in a clearing covered in tank tracks near a lush green forest.

Suddenly, as the drone camera circles around the group with a target marker in the centre of the screen, a huge explosion detonates amidst the unit.

A huge ball of fire rises into the air, and as the smoke clears, several bodies are seen strewn across the ground.

But the onslaught is not over yet. The video cuts to a second view of the open field as more soldiers are seen gathering into another group. The men look like ants from the distance as they move into position, grouping near a copse of trees.

This time, the flash of a missile is seen a split second before another explosion erupts from the ground. The soldiers drop the floor, as if struck by lightning.

After a second or two, some are seen writhing around in the dirt.

Others remain still.

The footage ends with a third explosion, near the site of the first strike.

Moments earlier, more soldiers had appeared from the trees, apparently approaching the pile of bodies left by the earlier attack.

Busy popping your corn to munch on while you watch the blood and guts?

I'm sure this article gave all you zeepers the giggles.

Tell Russia to leave Ukraine.

Okay.

“Hey Russia. Leave Ukraine.”

Now you.

How much more should USA taxpayers pay the hopelessly corrupt country of Ukraine to fight a war they have no chance of winning?

Demilitarizing Russia with less than 5% of our annual defense budget is the bargain of the lifetime. And the cash stays here. We send Ukraine our old stuff, and we use the cash to rebuild and modernize our weapon stocks. Win-win.

Here is an ominous bit of reporting by USA Today where it admits that Russia has degraded Ukrainian air defenses to the point where it is now able to use fixed wing aircraft to directly support its troops:
Mapping Ukraine's withdrawal from Avdiivka: Russia took city as US aid stalls
Karina Zaiets
Janet Loehrke
Shawn J. Sullivan
Seth Jones, of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington think tank, sees Russia's ability to take control of the sky as a key factor in Ukraine's loss. “The Russians used fixed-wing aircraft, which is unusual. They have not been able to do that much, and that's what we do. In any war where we have advancing conventional forces, we would always use air to conduct close air support, especially running air defense. It's been hard for the Russians to use air because of Ukrainian air defense capabilities, aircraft will get shot down. They were effectively able to get control of skies in Avdiivka and it was devastating. SU-34 fighter bombers, SU-27 jet fighters MiG-29s, or some combination of those used in Avdiivka, that was different. Now how much they can do that in other areas, it's an open question.”

Russia lost the Battle of the Black Sea to a country without a navy. Putin told his army that they would take Kyiv in 3 days and to bring their parade uniforms. Russia has flopped.

Take your money. Take your family. Put it all on the line in Ukraine. Sounds like they are winning. You’ll do fine I’m sure. Sounds like they don’t need our money. Win-win = You leave and we keep our tax dollars.
