Russia unleashes a country-wide missile barrage on Ukraine as Putin addresses security conference
AP ^ | August 15, 2023 | AP

Russian forces unleashed missiles across Ukraine early on Tuesday, killing and wounding civilians and damaging infrastructure. The barrage came just hours before top Russian military officials and their counterparts from allied countries in Asia, the Middle East and Africa gathered outside Moscow for a security conference.

Missiles struck cities from the east to west of Ukraine, including far behind front lines where Ukraine is fighting deeply entrenched Russian forces to regain territory occupied by Moscow almost 18 months into the war.

Russia has built heavily fortified defenses along the more than 1,000-kilometer (600-mile) front line where Ukraine has only made incremental gains since launching a counteroffensive in early June.

Nothing new- Vlad has been pummeling nightly Eastern, Western Ukraine and everything in between since before Artymovsk’s ( Bakmut) fall.

….and now that Vlad has stepped up his suicide drone production rate to 5,000 a MONTH, the “ last Ukrainian “ is becoming reality.

and yet, Ukraine is still able to launch attacks on Moscow

which makes Ukraine’s feats all the more impressive ... they’re making Russia look like a bunch of limp-wristed pansies in front of the World

no wonder Vlady is pissed off LOL

Please post some of the Moscow damage those single drones made. Unfortunately, many innocent Ukrainian citizens have died in the retaliation to those symbolic Uke attacks.

Russia seems to be admitting that it can’t win militarily, so it’s trying to force Ukraine to surrender thru mass terror missile bombings

Russia already tried that last fall and winter ... didn’t work (what’s the Einstein quote about insanity?)

Ukraine isn’t interested in surrendering, you Russian stooges just can’t understand that LOL

that why the 19th month of this conflict is coming up, with no end in sight

get used to saying “7 Year War”, Russia

Z——

Back in June there were reports that Russia was building a drone factory to clone the Iranian drone expected to be online in early 2024

Well it looks like they are already using them do that timescale was off

just the fact that an outraged Vlady feels the need to launch mass missile attacks on Ukraine shows just how much Russia felt threatened

quite a sight to behold LOL

best part is ... there’s more to come, Russia ... Ukraine is just in the “shakedown” phase, wait till they get all their equipment working optimally ... NO Russian infrastructure will be safe!

Get used to a smaller Ukraine, another Afghanistan style Abandonment and a Nazi Canuckistan.

On January 6th of 2021, the U.S. Capitol was was sacked by the equivalent of a group of English Premier League soccer fans … with some Viking horn dude in the lead.

And this is in a country that spends something like $900 billion a year on “national defense.”

I don’t think we are in a position to criticize anyone else in that regard.

Looks as if the collective West war cheerleaders miscalculated Russias huge manufacturing base…according to western MSM, just a “ huge gas station “.

One can go to you tube and pull up current video on their arms factories, quite efficient. Looks like Ross Perot was correct, and no I didn’t vote back then….
Remember the “ huge sucking sound” of our factories being shut down and shipped overseas?.. I do.

It would be a shame if drones starting attacking Ottawa, eh?
