Large convoy of Ukrainian air defense systems destroyed by what looks like an Iskander.

Update: it looks to be multiple Patriot launchers and a possible radar.

Officially, other than mercs/volunteers serving in the Ukie Army, there are no Americans there.

Unofficially... well, we all know what the CIA and such do.

Now, that said, ostensibly this equipment came with crew training in the US after the Russians blew the crap out of several training areas that had been set up in Ukraine and there were no advisors or contractors in the combat area. The vehicles aren’t even being repaired over there, but they’re being shipped back to the US - and the damaged vehicles have been seen and photographed here.

“HMMT pulling it. There’s your answer.”

Hmmm, you may be right. I put in a call to the Krembalin and they told me that they’re re-assessing their call of it being an S-300.

Oh well, probably some ‘Training Accidents’ will be materializing soon, as mentioned by another here earlier.

Hah hah, nah, he will have a lie concocted like helicopter crashes over the ocean in war games. You know, the usual BS the regime spews.

Isn’t the S-300 surface to air?

Exactly, anyone who believes there haven’t been Americans with boots on the ground since day one is incredibly naive about how modern armies fight, and not just contractors. Supporting the fires chain starts at the sensor; could be space or could be deep HUMINT which one way or another will be mediated by some kind of special operations force likely with spooks, and doing this, as well as developing targets and clearing fires is not something shitholians can do without a lot of help.

It’s the system on the ground that we’re talking about. We agree it was likely an Icelander that took it out.

[HMMT pulling it.]

How can you tell? Are you going by the video or the static picture of a HMMT in a parking lot?

It just makes it look less believable. Adding whacked out thrash music to war videos makes it look “produced” and means the whole thing could be fake.

Uke videos always have music preferred by neonazi skinheads.
Don’t know who made this one, but it’s pretty bad also.

"We're watching a holocaust. We're watching something that I've never seen before. [Russia] is blowing up buildings, with children, with women, with professionals, with people, just people, they're blowing up indiscriminately. They're just shooting massive missiles and rockets into these buildings and everybody is dying."

"The numbers are far worse than what you're seeing on television. I don't know if they [are] keeping them down. When you see buildings being blown up and then they say one person died? Give me a break. Many people are dying and we're allowing this to happen."

"They have to stop it and they have to stop it now, but they don't respect the United States, and the United States is not doing anything about it. This is a holocaust, this is a horrible thing that's happening and you see it on television every night."
