    Without Russia, the world will become unipolar, and you will receive the status of the livestock of the Washington mafia clan.

    As far as I know, all deliveries are done by trucks. Nobody is going to load up billions worth of secret military equipment to sit on railroad junctions waiting for wheel replacement due to differences in gauge.
    But, Russians need something to cope with the disaster they unleashed on themselves, so, I guess, I’ll just put this news on the same shelf with the news about a Ukrainian freighter aircraft with nato weapons being shot down over Odessa. :lol:

    Russia cannot claim to be an axis in that “unipolar world”. ;)

    A bit poorly worded perhaps --- but hopefully some folks have the ability to read between the lines .. so yes .. perhaps Putin did not know "EXACTLY" .. what he was doing.. but he has calculated deep into the position .. on many fronts. . a game being played on a chessboard. .position complex .. you blurting out moves .. yet showing almost no comprehension of the position on the board .. beyond surficial aspects .

    You Cry - "Putin has absolutely no idea" but how would you know - ability to assess the position sorrowly wanting ..for what ever reason.

    But- on a brighter note .. Macron was re-elected - when do we get to start war crime trial against France - "Truth and Reconciliation" .

    And I've just explained what can't be i.e. nuclear warheads!

    The US doesn't possess a warhead designed to fit in the nose cone of the SM-3, isn't building one and has no intention of doing so in the foreseeable future (Congressional oversight). Furthermore the weapon is not designed for ground attack. It's purely an ABM system and as such is designed to operate at high speed, at extreme altitudes not to go sub-orbital and then survive a dive back into the deep atmosphere to attack ground targets. These are the facts.

    Meanwhile you haven't produced one shred of evidence any such weapon exists. You just keep insisting it does without producing any proof. Stop lying and give up.

    And meanwhile a new update on Russian battle losses.

    Oryx is now reporting as visually confirmed Russian vehicle losses of 3200 units. This includes 561 tanks which is almost 25% of Russia's pre-war first line/modernized armor. Armored fighting vehicles, artillery and engineering vehicles make up the rest of that count. And he still hundreds of more images to confirm.

    On these figures alone and not including any vehicles currently in Russian hands that are offline due to damage or mechanical failures Russia has lost the equivalent of 56 Battalion Tactical Groups worth of tanks with deaths climbing towards 20,000 and injuries in the 40,000 to 60,000 range.

    Except you don't start a nuclear war over a threat. That is just stupid. But you can be sure that we have made it clear that a nuclear attack will mean certain nuclear war between us and russia.

    If Russia is losing....like the peanut gallery likes to say....then why have 4 Oblasts in Ukraine switched to Russian rubles and are flying the Russian flag?

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^

    This is ain't losing.....well, Ukrops losing...yes.

    A land bridge from Transnistria to Kharkiv ought to be enough.

    Lets delay making bets till after Ukraine uses up 200,000 artillery rounds it received for M777s, along with the guns.

    Russia is beginning to run out of breath while Ukrainians are getting stronger by the day. I’ve heard their military headcount is somewhere around 400,000 now. The war ain’t over yet. :smoking:

    More important are the fuses Ukraine will be getting with those rounds. Apart from precision guidance kits which will give artillery a 'one shot equals one kill' capability the Ukrainians are also getting something that both sides have by most accounts been chronically short of i.e. conventional and effective air-burst fuses.

    Some trained observers have noted that most of the shell fire being exchanged by both sides along the confrontation line are simple contact fuses i.e. they detonate either on or shortly after impact (or in a significant number of cases as far as Russia seems to be concerned not at all - more problems for their logistics and supply chain to fix). The result is the familiar 'impact crater' seem in movies/old photos etc. Air burst fuses on the other hand detonate over the target at an altitude precisely calculated to generate maximum casualties from shrapnel. This is particularity valuable when the fighting is static and the enemy is entrenched and hence partially protected from ground burst casualties i.e. precisely the situation both sides face at the moment. Life for front line Russian troops is (sadly) going to become far more miserable and deadly in the next few days.

    True, but it doesn't hurt to repeatedly call him out and tell him to put up or shut up. If no-one ever does he gets away with his BS. This way he can been seen for what he really is by other posters.

    I told him exactly the same - no one will put a nuke on a Surface-Air missile. But he is bot, he just keeps repeating recorded phrases.

    Any other nuclear missile with a range of 2500 km can be installed in a standard MK-41 container. Russia is obliged to rely on just such a threat.
