Billy Jean King Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Stunned to See Todd's stance on Ukraine is almost identical to his Covid stance ie this is having an effect on my life personally so get it stopped. For scientists / govt now read "The West".It's an amazingly simplistic and narrow view on life, you really need to look at a massive bigger picture here. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, pretty much everything I said about Covid restrictions ended up being correct so I'm not entirely sure what point you are trying to make here. Massive Bigger Picture ≠ What looks good. Ending the war in Ukraine ASAP is clearly what the preferred outcome for everyone is, so again I'm not sure what point you are making. To use your analogy, though, Ukraine winning this war, and, in doing so, claiming back the territory it has lost is the new "Zero Covid". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Reports, videos and photographs of explosions at the Saki Airbase in Crimea. This is the base of a Naval Attack Aviation Regiment. it is around 250km from Ukrainian held territory so a bit of a puzzle about how they were hit, assuming Ukraine did it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 (edited) They've got anti-ship missiles with that sort of range and a naval base is presumably right next to the Black Sea. Edit: here's a more mundane explanation. and then when I scan through the replies: Edited August 9, 2022 by LongTimeLurker 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Not the only surprisingly long-range strike today apparently and there's presumably no way an anti-ship missile did this other one given the location: Maybe Joe Biden finally decided that it was a case of alle waffen gegen Putler and sent ATACMS? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirty dingus Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 (edited) With Ukraine reaching the heart of Crimea it will be a bit of headache for the Ruskies. Edited August 9, 2022 by dirty dingus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 (edited) That's putting it mildly. Check out the Kerch bridge on that map in relation to the frontline south of Zaporizhzhia in distance terms relative to what presumably happened with the attack on the airbase. Not too much further.

LongTimeLurker Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Latest appears to be that it was indigenous Ukrainian weaponry probably based on the Neptune anti-ship missiles that took out the Moskva: maybe this only now became feasible because of the anti-radar missiles that the Americans provided: taking out Russian air defences. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Russians have been using anti-ship missiles repurposed for land attack. The accuracy is likely somewhat degraded, but needs must… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Going to tricky to buff that out. Lots of different suggestions as to what was used. Loitering munitions, cruise missiles, HIMARs, sabotage. The honest answer is that no-one knows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loitering munitions, cruise missiles, HIMARs, sabotage. The honest answer is that no-one knows. Only thing that really matters right now is that the Ukrainians have shown they have the capability to strike accurately in the 80-250 km range. That means the Russians can't assume that they are safe if they keep their ammunition depots out of HIMARS range. In addition to the Neptune system Ukraine apparently had a cruise missile called Hrim-2 with a range of 280 km that was almost ready to go into production for export to the Saudis when the war started. There's some speculation that the Poles might be helping Ukraine to keep its weapons industry functional in that sort of context.
