The Ukraine war thread

@Renauda I've read that the HIMARS are making a huge difference. They fire six missiles in rapid succession, and can be moved to another location in two minutes. Difficult to find.
Also, they are tremendously accurate. Using satellite guidance, they can land the missiles within meters of the target.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Depending upon what munitions we're letting them have, the system has a range of 190 miles.
And in other news, the Marines fired the system last year off of a moving ship and hit a target on-shore. Precisely. That's mind-boggling.

Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu has ordered generals to prioritise destroying Ukraine’s long-range missile and artillery weapons after Western-supplied weapons were used to strike Russian supply lines.
Nearly five months since President Vladimir Putin ordered the February 24 invasion of Ukraine, Russian forces are grinding through the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine and now occupy around a fifth of the country.
Shoigu, one of Putin’s closest allies, inspected the Vostok group which is fighting in Ukraine, the defence ministry said.
Shoigu “instructed the commander to give priority to the enemy’s long-range missile and artillery weapons,” the defence ministry said.
The ministry said the weapons were being used to shell residential areas of Russian-controlled Donbas and to deliberately set fire to wheat fields and grain storage silos.
Ukraine says it has carried out a string of successful strikes on 30 Russian logistics and ammunitions hubs, using several multiple launch rocket systems recently supplied by the West.Yeah...

Kind of skipped through the video, but did learn more than I knew about radar identification!
@George-K I agree. 5555 Invest in a green screen. Even I have one of those and do not do any videos.

Well, when you’re manning anti aircraft emplacements with guys that were in prison last week, shit happens.

The Chechens are not too keen on Putin either.
