Russia likely stockpiled missiles to fight NATO
The New Voice of Ukraine via Yahoo ^ | November 19th, 2022 | Unattributed

Posted on 11/19/2022 8:03:34 PM PST by Mariner

This stockpile of cruise and ballistic missiles was likely used to deliver massive air strikes against Ukraine’s energy infrastructure in recent months.

“They apparently have a withhold for a notional NATO attack, which we would regard as absurd, but they regard it as a real possibility,” Cancian said.

“So they’re holding back some part of their inventory for that.”

The report further suggests that Russia has built up a stockpile of microchips and other technological components for domestic missile production before invading Ukraine on Feb. 24. In October, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin announced a set of measures to ramp up output of missiles for use in the war against Ukraine.

“Incidentally Ukraine kept both... S300 missiles past the expiration date behave in unpredictable ways.... many buildings in Kiev were destroyed by them.”

Well said and indeed correct.

From November 16th:

“Ukrainian AD intercepting an apartment building in Kiev, from the early days of the war. The rocket motor is still burning, which would not be the case with a ballistic missile. AFU admitted it was their error before Zelensky went on social media to call it a Russian attack.’

“LOL. You mean like how Russia getting slaughtered in Kiev was all part of the grand strategy.”

Russia did not get “slaughtered” in Kyiv.

But I am sure that if you tell lies long enough, repeat them enough, some here within FR will invariably come to believe them. GG.

Russia was so stupid they occupied Chernobyl. LOL.

Russia’s military is good at one thing...getting their own people killed. And making the enemy tired of killing them. Maybe it will work again.

“how many US troops did we lose in afghanistan?”

This is not about troops lost, propaganda peddler.

The longest war in US history, let it sink in moronic idiot.....19.5/20 years in Afghanistan.....fighting goat and sheep herders equipped with AK-47s and rocket propelled grenade launchers........

“Well they are kicking russian butt with half trained Ukes.”

Clueless is what clueless remains.

Half-trained?

Prior to the start of the war/conflict, Ukraine’s military was long rained by NATO.

Prior to the start of the war/conflict, Ukraine’s military was allegedly proclaimed as one of the best trained and equipped militaries in Western Europe. It could kick the shat out of most of NATO in Europe.
.
.
.
As to “kicking Russian butt”...remains to be seen as advertised.

But when you are steadily getting ass-thumped at 5:1, 7:1, 8:1, and higher Russian to Ukraine kill ratios, hardly doubt the “kicking Russian butt” BS.

Ok. Longest war and we killed Osama Bin Laden our target.
Success.

How many lives lost? Vs How many Russian lives lost in Ukraine? Divided by # of months.

We got our target...Russia hasn’t claimed their target yet.

Ok clearly you don’t know shit.

The Ukes had all russian equipment. During the war they had to be trained on all western equipment DURING a war. That is hard as hell.

Yet they/we did it. And the Russians are paying the price.

LOL. Love watching Russians go to the slaughter. Doesn’t mean I like Ukraine. But invading one’s neighbor and holding garbage elections to claim their land...Russia is getting what they deserve.

“How many Russian lives lost in Ukraine? Divided by # of months.”

According to you peddlers and the West/UK/US/EU/NATO sources you always utilize, then these numbers from the BBC News Russian service should suffice, right?

Russian casualties as of November 18: 9001
https://en.zona.media/article/2022/05/20/casualties_eng

From September of this year, Ukrainian General Sergey Krivonos estimates Kiev’s losses at hundreds of thousands since FEB.

Ukraine low ball numbers of 100K
BBC reported Russian numbers at 9000.

That is 11:1 Russian to Ukraine kill ratio numbers.
