With Western Weapons, Ukraine Is Turning the Tables in an Artillery War
NYTIMES ^ | 29-OCT-2022 | Andrew E. Kramer

On the screen of a thermal imaging camera, the Russian armored personnel carrier disappeared in a silent puff of smoke.

“What a beautiful explosion,” said First Lt. Serhiy, a Ukrainian drone pilot who watched as his weapon buzzed into a Russian-controlled village and picked off the armored vehicle, a blast that was audible seconds later at his position about four miles away.

“We used to cheer, we used to shout, ‘Hurray!’ but we’re used to it now,” he said.

The war in Ukraine has been fought primarily through the air, with artillery, rockets, missiles and drones. And for months, Russia had the upper hand, able to lob munitions at Ukrainian cities, towns and military targets from positions well beyond the reach of Ukrainian weapons.

Is this the same New York Times/Pravda that regularly argues against any and all military spending?

Another article from the NYTimes, a sworn enemy of conservatives, conservative ideology, conservative policies, President Trump.

An organization that is more Marxist in their approach than anything else.

An organization that will, and does all the time, lie at the drop of a hat.

Tell me once again why you would post anything from this cabal of Liars to buttress your position on the Ukraine war?

Wasn't there this one Walter Duranty guy that used to "report" on the Ukraine for the New York Times?

I believe NOTHING written by the New York Slimes.

No way Ukraine will be allowed to win.....and nukes are indeed on the table.

Ukraine needs to give Putin an off ramp...and soon.

Let Putin disappear and be quietly assassinated by his fellow Russians in his own dacha after the peace.

“Putin an off ramp”

No off ramps.

The whole world needs to see RuZZia lose this war and withdraw in defeat.

Don’t forget that it was the NYTimes that pushed Russiagate x 4 years and has yet to apologize to the nation.

Having to resort to an article in the NY Times evidences how untenable your position is.
