Footage of a triple Flamingo launch against a target in Crimea.
>>64197105This is why there has been so much shit flinging btwTZD
>>64197105How are those any different that usual cruise missiles?
>>64197120Feel free to call me a retard, but I think that the Flamingo is the first 100% Ukrainian cruise missile. I think. I don't know how Neptune fits into this.
>>64197127I thought Flamingo was a modified Neptune
>>64197120Doesn’t have to ask Daddy for permission to use.
>>64197120Claimed 1100 kg warhead. That's going to be extremely painful. For me, for you, for everyone involved
>>64197141They're a big country...
>>64197141this, something with this kind of payload and decent precision could genuinely put oil refineries and other not-quite-soft targets permanently out of action, the other drones might permanently or impermanently shut down part of a factory, refinery or other installation, these ones could basically permafuck what remains of russian industry.
>>64197148and the fall is just around the corner ;)
>>64197136I believe the modified Neptune is a different one they’re working on called “Long Neptune”. Flamingo is a giant V1
>>64197136modified neptune is long neptune
>>64197120"Usual" cruise missiles are restricted by a country that sold them to you.
>>64197120I think the key difference is barely any launcher. Each missile seems to be stand-alone unit that can launch on its own from virtually anywhere. No need for ships, subs, planes or large TEL, just a truck. Greater flexibility.
>>64197136Neptune is an upgraded soviet ASM (Kh-35, "Harpoonsky")Flamingo is a british kitbash
>>64197148I'm waiting for monke to finally sit down at a peace conference across from Zelensky with the expectation that he's going to receive territorial concessions, only for an aide to quietly inform him that the Kerch bridge is now suitable for submarine traffic.>>64197111Also there's been warehouses blown up in Moscow, can't let the only important city get bombed.
>>64197120These are ground launched, which is a pretty big deal when you don't really have any domestic heavy air launch capabilities and can't have shit sitting still for long periods of time.
>>64197111Could also just be the fuel prices.
>>64197163Clearly, the ukroholols could never
>>64197153wtf is that, lmao
>>64197152it's still a little while until fall, we're still in summer right now.
>>64197171its shop, i can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few shops in my time
>>64197174Imagine how much worse things will get!
>>64197153
>>64197170There hasnt been an indigenious cruise missile coming out of ukraine at any sensible scale, despite multiple attempted projects and huge expertise in rocketry. Maybe this will be the first. The scale was, and remains, a bottleneck
Fun fact: flamingoes are born with dull grey feathers. They accrue their bright red-pink color over time from the beta-carotene pigments found in their diet of crustaceans and algae.
>>64197105Launching flamingos? That's an animal cruelty!
>>64197153https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IslF_EyhMzg
>>64197164More shit in Moscow needs to explode, let the 'privilaged' really feel the effects of the war
>>64197285Be an awful shame if a few TPPs went offline in early November.
>>64197285Monke's palace near Gelendzhik almost burned down a couple days ago, maybe they can spare one or two to crater that place too at some point
>>641971201) Way larger warhead and way longer range than the ones provided by western partners to ukies before;2) Domestic shit, so no "use can't use this to strike inside russia" bullshit;
>>64197211The hard part of fighting a defensive war is prioritizing spending and resources.Sure you could put all your best engineers on a cruise missile but then none are working on SAMs, drones, adaptors to mount western kit on soviet planes ect.Everyone learnt from Hitler, you don't want to be the guy designing super tanks while you can't intercept the bombers destroying you.
>>64197120because certain ziggers in a certain country can't block their usage
>>64197120They are huge. Same engine as the L39 Albatross. Which is why you can see the jet engine starting before the boosters, and also why they take some more time setting up for launch, because it's like starting up trainer jet.So they are very different from regular cruise missiles. Nothing comes close in size. But they're a bit nigriggy to send off.
>>64197153>Flamingo is a giant V1That's a turbofan in there anon.
>>64197105I assume this like a beta test for them, and that's why they chose targets in Crimea and not deep into Russia.
>>64197161>Each missile seems to be stand-alone unit that can launch on its own from virtually anywhere.>No need for ships, subs, planes or large TEL, just a truck. Greater flexibility.so in Metal Gear all this time they just needed to put bigger wings on a missile?
So it was all bullshit that the ziggers found the factory of these things?
>>64197501Of course. There is absolutely no way that after 3 years of war the Ukrainians wouldn't have a supply chain that wasn't at least slightly dispersed.
>>64197489these areb't ICBMs
>>64197453>But they're a bit nigriggy to send off.I'd assume that a proper TEL is in the works.
>>64197501Bruh, there was a special thread on RU imageboard, where they tried to bring everyone on board to find the factory. They've found shit, but since it's russia they could never acknowledge that. So they've went full copium and pointed to a couple of different locations, ignoring the fact that their "proofs" don't really hold water if checked in more detail and not even mentioning the fact that the construction elements they claim as proof (e.g. reinforced concrete pillars and such) are standard and typical, using in any bullshit generic parking space, warehouse, a discount megastore or factory. This isn't the first time they've lied to themselves about finding "factories" or "warehouses" btw, this happened like a dozen times before. The funniest part is that at least 2 or 3 times (that I know of personally) shit was specifically moved from the real location to a "press location" before the press was shown stuff, so them finding a piece of ceiling or something and screaming "A-HA! WE FOUND IT!" was specifically for a non-military place with no actual industrial value kek.
>>64197565Such TELs don't make much sense for this usage. Even the BGM-109G Gryphon launcher didn't try to point the missile vertically.
>>64197120ukranians asked to buy tomahawks. with dementia joe. they said no because sullivan escalation management. then came agent orange the monke simp so ukranians (with a little help from german friends) made their own
>>64197146for you
>>64197584Something like this?
>>64197417no screw ups in ukranians missile production are a well published problem inside ukranian media itself. Cost overruns, inefficiencies, crypto ziggers/vatnik simpathizers embedded inside the ancient outfits etc. zelensky has publicly made enquires several times on why is it taking so long to come up with anything
>>64197585i had to rewatch like 3 times to understand that there's no another plane that suddenly launches up and intercepts the first one
>>64197581cuckniks and making fools of themselves, name a more obvious combo
>>64197589Yeah, basically the vertical mode make sense for:- ballistic missiles;- some types of interceptor missiles;- cruise missiles in vertical launch modules, such as installed within ships, where it's done for both convenience and efficiency;The angled launcher makes most sense for generic cruise missile. Ukies didn't make a tube launcher for their Flamingo shit (unlike the Neptune stuff) only because they didn't bother with automatically deployed wings, since it's a more complex system and would take more time to refine.
>>64197597Yes, and you could solve it by throwing money and engineers at it but that has opportunity costs.
>>64197597>crypto ziggers/vatnik simpathizers embedded inside the ancient outfitsI found Zelensky's assertion that the anti-corruption offices were full of these people to be pretty credible. I don't know why the EU didn't take him at his word for it.
>we will take over Ukraine in 3 days!>its year three, we are at a standstill and Ukraine now has their own cruise missile production>everything is going according to plan
>>64197629>Year ten. >Ukraine now has a native 5th gen fighter program.
>>64197629uhm, ackshually, it's year four already
>>64197634More like>year ten>those pesky khokhols have fission bombs now
>>64197111>TZDfpbpTZD means TZD
>>64197148Imagine what one of these bad boys could do to the shoigunate...
>>64197269Launching them at roosters... that's double warcrime.
>>64197120>very long range>large warhead>Ukraine can produce lots of them>unrestricted use against any and all targets in Russia
>>64197585>with a little help from german friendsVergeltungswaffen-4?
>>64197146UUUU!
>>64197565This thing can be launched from what appears to be an I-beam welded to the back of a flatbed. There's no reason to build a dedicated TEL, it doesn't seem to need one. Yeah, it's janky and something we'd all laugh at russia for, but in this case it actually just works and prevents tying the missile to super specialized launch platforms. Look at what happened to Iran when their supply of TELs went up in smoke. It's smekalka done right.
>>64197879Cockfighting is also illegal. Dare I say, a triple warcrime?
>>64197581I wonder how many Iskanders have been wasted on abandoned warehouses simply because some intelligence dweeb claimed it was totally a secret factory just so he didn't have to tell his boss he found exactly jack shit.
>>64197120They're fucking massive. Four times heavier than a Tomahawk, several times that of a Kalibr (type dependent), four times as heavy as MdCN.
>>64198169At least a few dozen. In the early days (e.g. first 2 months) they've literally routinely bombed empty lots and such, only because way back during soviet times there were military objects. Imagine bombing an overgrown field with nothing only because 30+ years ago there were tank training grounds. Or how they'd shoot a missile into Kyiv and boast "we've fucked over factory X, take that khokhols!!!1111" only that factory was an empty husk of a rotten building for like 20 years already, ready to be demolished to build some supermarkets and apartment blocks (and actually already partially converted to shopping center). Like bruh... those retards think it's still the USSR?! They themselves had a ton of factories in moscow and other cities close down after 1991, it's not like that would be surprising for them.
>>64198215IIRC there was a Bong MOD intel post about how one of Russia's biggest failures during the early war was the large amount of "mirroring" going on in RU strategic planning, that is, the Russians assumed all too often that the Ukrainians would do what they themselves would do. Does anyone have it?
>>64197521and underground
>>64197155Long Neptune is Loooooong!
>>64198294
>>64197105Do we know what was the target?
>>64198215>Like bruh... those retards think it's still the USSR?! Yes>They themselves had a ton of factories in moscow and other cities close down after 1991, it's not like that would be surprising for them.My theory is that cognitive dissonance is an inherent ethnic trait for Russians, necessary to survive the retarded series of autocracies those people have gone through.
>>64198361An FSS facility apparently.
>>64198361>>64198454It was a barracks, motor pool and some boat-things/hovercraft sort of on the western Crimea border >Big Flamingo Cocks
>>64198318This is the sea drone that was used to attack the Kerch Bridge back in June.
>>64198655>Allowing Boris Johnsons in the seaWar crime, what if it reproduces? That'd be an ecological nuke.
>>64198694There's a reason why there's 'plenty more fish in the sea' anon
>>64198215>>64198225How much of their own coolaid do you think that the Russian leadership as drank at this point?
>>64198694>War crime, what if it reproduces? That'd be an ecological nukeKill one, and ten more take its place.
>>64198711I wouldn't be surprised if monke literally thinks he's winning.
>>64198717You want to tell the manlet nigga he's not winning?
>>64198725Yes that's my point. Anyone who tries to inform him that his C&C Red Alert tactics aren't working likely has a window related accident.
So did it hit anything?
Yo senpai you finna see the Crimean triple flamingo launch?
>>64197105Based, based, based!
>>64197453There's a Chinese knockoff of those engines. They may be refurbishing with Chinese parts. Even whole engines but there will be heaps of out of hours cores available.
>>64199102it's about sending a message
>>64197146>Hey /k/ name my band
>>64197489The point of metal gear is not to launch missiles, it's to ''throw'' nukes, for the lack of a better word, which makes it undetectable.
>>64197171The pink dildo of greater hurt.Seriously, apparently it gained its name after a plant mishap on a prototype led it to be painted pink.How is that possible, who know but there you have it.
>>64199330Those engines (Ivchenko ai-25) are produced in Ukraine. I doubt that there is any serious need for Chinese alternatives in that department
>>64199348It's not a message if those missiles are visible, identifiable, and can be prioritized. Instead, it is training data.It is also not solving anything in Crimea, which is fair game for all other US, EU and British missiles that are quicker, more stealthy, and more precise. Long range and high payload is needed vs military industry in Urals, Volga and Tartarstan regions
>>64199102Apparently a military base, a barracks and six hovercraft got rekt.>>64199457Prolly hit Crimea since its closest and they can verify the effects pretty easily themselves instead of waiting for satellite pics.
>>64197105They all got taken down by S-400s lmao.
>>64199556They all got taken down by FSB base, by hovercrafts and such
>>64199556>S-400Could've at least made your post somewhat believable and said S-300, BuK or any other system that actually works.
>>64199565Isn't S-400 just an updated/modernized version of S-300? I.e. if one kinda works, then the other one should as well? Just not as good as those mongoloid retards claim
>>64199569>updated/modernized version of S-300You ever experienced a software or video game update being released that ruined something that was previously working fine?That's the S-400 to the S-300.
ALL flamingos were taken out by amazing air defense cuckold, but that debris, oh all that nasty debris!
>>64199572There are numerous instances of S-400 launchers being taken out by things they should well have detected and destroyed given their stated capabilities, but I don't think it's an issue with the system itself. Most likely it's just poorly trained and/or lazy crews.
>>64197501It was a storage facility in Kyiv where they are prepared before launch, much like Russians have for Shaheds. The factory(ies) is someplace else
>>64199577You mean spammed by ziggers making demoralizing off-topic threads.
>>64199577It's the other way around my HIV obsessed friend, the fact that you've shat up the board with your crap indicates that ukie strikes were at least somewhat successful
>64199577Why is it always some sort of projection with you niggers?
>>64199583Of course it was, lmao.
>>64199599Yeah, as the old saying goes: a nation of faggots, a nation of scum, a nation of shit, a nation of lice, a nation of pus, a nation of dick-suckers.
>>64197597That's the difference. There was some corruption, but it wasn't adopted and brought home and sat at the dinner table! Corruption of Ukraine like... New York City 1960. Still gonna be illegal and people gonna get bagged for it.Russia, fuck, stop corruption? No build a church to it! Make it a department of federal! One way you got "ah fuck ok we gotta fix it", Rus way you got "welp gettin fuck in the ass again, how nice".So different.
>>64199606It's corruption as a bug versus corruption as a feature.
>>64199577Projection, as regular as the sun rising.
>>64199607this means they all hit some expensive soviet lostech, right?
>>64199574"Today we celebrate our independence from Poland, and Ukraine!"
>>64197501You could literally take a pictures of your local Lidl and dvach monkeys would believe it's a Missile factory - that's how generic the ceiling and pillars in the images are.
Hmm, 8 FSB officers in Belgorod were mysteriously vaporized...
>>64199681Pesky debris blyat!
>>64199681Damn, killing 8 glowniggers in the same place. What a jackpot. Today is a good day for ukraine AND for the average russian citizens.
>>64199681Did they embezzle from the wrong general or generally fucked up by the flamingo cock of justice
>>64199681is of flaminka disease engineered to only target officer of fsbhohol warcrime same as all times
>>64199681Were any of them important figures in the vatnig intelligence community? Or was the mere fact that Ukies were able to build a domestic cruise missile and use it to hit an FBS outpost enough to trigger the current spam?
>>64197105The proof of the intended targets being hit has arrived. Now waiting for detailed BDA.
Holy kek don't look at the catalog, they're turbobutthurtSomething definitely happened
>>64199812>>64199811lmao it's hilarious how rusbots actually work against their country's intelligence by outing themselves like thatyou don't even need to read intelligence reports or anything, all you have to do i go to motherfucking 4chinz and check /k/'s catalog to see if ukrainians hit anything of value recently
>>64199812FSB guys, doing the needful for tsar monke!
>>64199811This is THE most important thing that people will remember of the war, not just how the world's self proclaimed 2nd strongest army got their shit pushed in by nato leftovers but how they had to resort to childish spamming.
>>64199811there's also their big push in Pokrovsk which was blown up hard...and gas shortages in more and more places
>>64199819>major damage: spamming>disastrous damage: niggercock spamming>damage levels off the charts: total zigger silence
>>64199899Russian collapse: Maybe we can make a deal with the West? It was all Putin, s-show us the proofs that we did it? Poor innocent russia hated for nooo reason ;_;
>>64199899It's kind of amusing that they use so much time and money to spam here in hopes that it will somehow unfuck [whatever went wrong]. I bet that they probably could have restored a tank or two with all the money used to hire Pajeets to spam an Australian gasoline-stealing board.
>>64199886We not talk of PokrovskWhat Pokrovsk? Never of heard it.
>>64199886There's been some talk that 21% of their petro refining is gone as well, which I've not seen a lot of verification on as that's kind of hard. But its a number that's been bandied around quite a lot. In an economy of scale were Russia really relies not just on its crude sales but external refined fuels, or used to, is just up in smoke.If I came home to 21% less income one day and no matter how much 7.62 I sprayed into the sky wouldn't improve things, I'd be concerned!
An uptick in russoid spam means something has gone seriously tits up for them, and the next 12 hours or so will tell the tale. Its like clockwork. I'm honestly amazed their own handlers haven't realised we've caught on to the pattern.
>>64199860I would say vatniks coming out of the closet and being exposed for the deranged faggots they are is even funnier. The cognitive dissonance of the idiots that fell for the propaganda spam in the west is pretty funny to watch
>>64199899>damage levels off the charts: total zigger silenceThis. When those bombers got blown up there was a good hour or two where no Russian flags were posting on /pol/. Then they were all shot down, then they only damaged a few, then they only damaged a few more, then they only blew up one, then only two, then only 6, and finally they didn't need them actually.
>>64199941>WouldWouldn't you?
>>64199681handsome specimens.
>>64199941>A Belarusian colonelPoor Luka hasn't even reached this rank yet.>>64199943The silence during the Wagner rebellion was golden.Remember to screenshot teh spam and bring it up every time there's a "Weapons? stupid war tourists spamming Ukraine threads ruined /k/" post
>>64199941guys like this are defending russian traditional values from western degeneracy?
>>64199962anon, everyone defending any "values" is 95% sure to be a hypocrite, no matter the value
>>64199940At the moment its sort of the usual war shit we're used to, FSB eating shit, refineries on fire, base blown up, S400 got droned, another failed summer offensive etcSo it'd have to be pretty fucking badLike hopefully the Toropets levels of 'sheeeit' blowing up, unless of course there's a Flamingo going fucking downtown mosquecow or something
>>64199941>I would say vatniks coming out of the closet and being exposed for the deranged faggots they are is even funnierTbh this is no surprise for anyone who knows anything about Russian history and culture. They've always been massive faggots. Remember, Russia is a place that had proto-tranny cults (Skoptsy) that lasted for centuries, where Tzar Alexander II's brother was famous for being a faggot, and where homosexuality wasn't properly criminalized until after the October Revolution.
>>64197163>Flamingo is a british kitbashClowns to the left of meJokers to the rightHere I am, stuck in Ukraine because of THE BONGS!!!
>>64199977The Tsars sort of tried to criminalize it between the 1830's and before they got gatted in a dungeon, but its sort of like telling a dog not to shit on the lawn or piss on a pole at that stage and they just couldn't stop the cum soaked man-pile that is Russia. After 1917 it got kind of fuzzy, because if they started locking up faggots there would be no one left to run the country so they just sort of said, keep it a little bit on the downlow and try not to raw dog your boyfriend in public too much.I think ti wasn't really until about 1935-ish it was actually illegal in Russia actual or the whole soviet system had switched over to faggots bad, stop bumming each other like rabbitsA few of the SSR's had brought it in earlier during the 20's but for the most part it was open season on the anusCourse by the mid 30's there was also 'Gulag Time' which really didn't help matters, in fact it sort of inflamed the whole culture to a whole new level of buggery is bad because the state says so, but we're in Siberia chopping down trees, eating our lunch and dressing the rooster up like a girly
>>64199977Yep, a ton of examples actually:- before Peter the Great's reforms ~1700 A.D., sodomy was almost universal all across muscovy;- they had proto-troons that would cut their own dicks off, the so called skoptsy;- sodomy and butt rape as tortude by CheKa and NKVD since ~1920;- gulag homo culture since ~1930s, where it was allowed to ferment for years;- first spread of gulag homo culture into the army around early 1940s;- post-stalin mass gulag releases in the 1950s brought gulag homo culture back to civilian life;- by 1960s the demography was so fucked that they've started looking the other way and conscripted people with criminal records, leading to a new impulse of gulag homo culture poisoning the army;- by 1980s gulag homo culture was fully normalized as just another normal part of the army life, people leaving the army would bring it back to their civilian life as well;By now around 30-40% of russian men are closeted homos, despite all of their "based & trad" face culture bullshit.
Do we have a BDA or they've been intercepted ?
>>64199940>I'm honestly amazed their own handlers haven't realised we've caught on to the pattern.It's a feature, not a bug. They call it "пepeкpытиe" ("pe-re-k-ree-tee-e"), as in the verb form for "(to) overlap" or "(to) cover", basically the idea is to take the attention away from other stuff. It's not designed to fool you, it's designed to fool others who aren't as invested.
>>64200028Are you retarded?Here's your BDA >>64199681
>>64200028They hit an FSB facility that had a building with a half a dozen officers, a couple helicopters, a se hovercrafts. Honestly very underwhelming choice of a target but I guess the 3000km range is aspirational and they will work themselves up to it
>>64200032not that anon, wasn't the flamingo attack aimed at a base in Crimea? Those 8 spooks were reportedly killed in Belgorod
>>64200032I didn't read a single word of the thread thanks kek. Hopefully we can have a video. I feel like 1 metric tonne explosion would be impressive
>>64200003Its important to maintain morale during the Albion Perfidy and try to have a nice stayMaybe sing some songs about the motherland, stay drunk and try not to think too much because that leads to emotional outbursts
>>64200037It was either a smoking accident or falling debris. No need for concern.

>>64200079bro, Puccians are in such dire straits they're burying their dead in cardboard coffins. The real thing is starting to get too expensive.
>>64200122>environmentally unsound war>environmentally friendly coffinsmake up your damn mind

>>64200133Yes.
>>64200133you know, since wood has negative carbon footprint or some shit
>>64200130>>64200133Wait. Didn’t they fake something like this years ago and say it was Ukrainian?
>>64197171Fun.
>>64200181Not sure, cardboard coffins have been a thing for a while. It does sound like a russian thing to do, then again we've seen the mass graves they put into Donbabwe full of dudes in just bags dumped by the truckload. I think a coffin, cardboard or otherwise is quite fancy for the average mobik!
>>64198711>>64198717>>64198725>>64198875I mean, it's kinda academic. He's reached the point where if he loses the war, he's a dead man. So there's literally no point in not pretending that he'll totally win.

>just make fuckhuge missile with basic tech>it just worksRussian anti-missile systems must be a complete joke
>>64200466The vastness of the border between Ukraine and Russia shouldn't be understated, but yea, Russian AD is pretty shit IRL compared to their paper stats.Makes sense now why the Politburo shit their pants about American nuclear tomahawks in the 80s.

>>64200003Fucking Bongs of all people doing something right for once
>>64200466Russia's still on the lobster bisque menu when they've got burger money, so its a whole lot of the old school precision rocket engineering, guidance systems that are a kludge of modern and antiquated principles that are stuck trying to figure out if they want to go with old school telemetry, GPS or Glonass. They love ancient shit, but no one can really make much of that anymore, they want to use the sacred machine spirit of Glonass but its complete ass in the ass so they can't really use GPS because the USA can turn it off and then nothing works.Then motherfuckers steal everythingRussians will ratfuck and entire project for copper wire because they get paid in fruit, beatings and treated like filthy animals, even if they do have a degree. If they're part of the 'skilled workforce' that has some kind of talent like fab, welding or that kind of stuff they're treated like wild filthy animals. But the biggest thief will the be the cunt in charge, so everything costs triple
>>64200517Also, Russia has a serious problem with brain drain. Between 2014 and 2022, any young person with formal training in STEM left for the West rather than roll the dice on the hope Russia would become a normal country.
>>64200427>intercontinental nuclear artilleryFTFY
>>64200580>roll the dice on the hope Russia would become a normal country.>look at dice>all sides say "things get worse in Russia"
>>64197501They said the Sapson one was destroyed.
>>64197990a mere coincidence, nothing to worry about
>>64199612>>64199606>tfw corruption as a feature is becoming the norm in the USAre we going to be as fucked as the Russians used to be? I'm thinking of leaving the country.
>>64197978>Ukraine can produce lots of themEh, 1 per day.They want 7 per day by the end of the year but they just arrested the CEO so there was probably some exaggeration in the bidding process.
>>64201038>but they just arrested the CEOCan you link to it? AFAIK that just some ru bullshit
>>64197489I haven't actually played Metal Gear Solid, but I have read the novelization. It was ok.The original Metal Gear Rex was equipped with a railgun which it uses to fire its nuclear arsenal. Because it is bipedal and mobile, this basically allowed it to (as >>64199429 points out) chuck the nuke without making any of the noise that a missle-launch would cause and scoot off to a new location to avoid counterattack. The thing that eventually fucks up Metal Gear as a concept is that nukes aren't worth it anymore (both in the vidya universe and irl). Nuclear weapons are able to create destructive blasts, but modern targets are well hidden and protected, and modern techniques and weapons are now able to shave the hair off a fly's ass with a ten-foot razor dropped from a plane going mach speeds, without killing it. War has changed.
>>64200393>The rocket knows where to fly because it knows where not to fly. By subtracting where to fly from where not to fly, or where...But seriously, there is a computer inside the rocket that has access to a bunch of sensors (GPS, Starlink, inertial, etc). Based on what the sensors say, it can steer the rocket to make its current coordinates align with the coordinates of the target.
>>64197565>proper TELIMHO it's a draw between that and generic truck. TEL> better clearance, off-road capability, more hiding and launch options> multiple missiles - needs less crew> hardened - will survive basic damage> automated - faster, more reliable launches> room for system expansion, heavier missiles etcTruck> Readily available> Cheap originally and in use> Simple disguise> Compatible with existing logistics infrastructure ( containers, trains, ships, storage spaces )> Decoys and replacements everywhereI'd take some vitamin C before jumping in on designing a proprietary launcher that can take months to replace on loss. With standard container you could even infiltrate a rigged one to launch from random AD uncovered spot, like on freight train behind Urals.
>>64197587>>64198006>>64197141Well congratulations, ya got yourself encircled. Now what's the next step of your master plan?
>>64201186Crashing this Federation...
>>64201186Banan
>>64200181Sort of, the concept wasn't faked but the link to Ukraine was.
>>64200133Yes, but to be fair cardboard coffins are called that over here too.They're usually used when the dead person is going to be cremated anyway, so what the fucking point of buying a coffin or renting a casket for viewing?>>64200170I don't think it's 'eco' as in 'ecology' but 'economy.'maybe it's ecological relative to caskets, which take way more resources than wood and are honestly a scam.I wonder if they use them for composting- that's how I want my meat-bag to be disposed of when I gone; send it back to god's earth. Put it through accelerated composting, then spread on a national forest.
>>64201306I hope ukraine goes forward with thiswould make for some beautiful forests
>>64200607Like Mavor from Supreme Commander, neat.

>>64199606It's also like Russians claiming America's MIC is corrupt. Of course it is. It's large companies stabbing each other and the government in the back to overcharge, pick them over someone else, and stay with them even if a better and more cost-effective opportunity comes along. American military corruption is that a civilian contractor bills the government 1 million US dollars to build a 20' x 20' bathroom in Iraq. But the bathroom will get built and it will work. Russia's MIC would charge 500,000 USD and deliver a bathroom that had to be demolished within a year.
>>64201063Which is why none of the games after it are really about nukes (except 3, sort of, but that takes place in the 60s).2 is about the accumulation of garbage information in the modern age that renders the average person incapable of making good decisions when it comes to life or politics, along with how hero worship and idolizing the beliefs of "good people" without being critical of yourself is unproductive.3 is about the impermanent nature of enemies and allies. How today's friends are tomorrow's enemies and yesterday's enemies are today's friends. It's also about the human cost of the actions of politicians, and how soldiers are often used up and discarded by their nations' politicians for reasons that usually trace back to either greed or shortsightedness on the part of people who are never in any danger themselves.4 is about the commercialization and normalization of proxy wars, and the desensitization of people to violence occurring elsewhere in the world at all times now. How interest groups within governments chew up and spit out humans for petty reasons that can't even be excused by the nation's needs.
>>64197105>Russia's MIC would charge 500,000 USD and deliver a bathroom that had to be demolished within a year.more like the russian contractor would rent a port-a-potty for a month and pocket the other $499,500
>>64197501just like how they destroyed all the Bradleys before they even arrived in Ukraine.
>>64201967Remind me of a joke I heard regarding the difference between EU corruption and RU corruption.>Russian oligarch flies to France to visit a business partner>Arrives in Paris, and rides a limo down a beautiful French highway>Arrives at a lovely French villa in the countryside>The interior is paneled in mahogany, and there is priceless art on the walls>He's very impressed, and asks how the Frenchman was able to afford all this>"Ah, do you remember that highway you rode down on the way here?" The Frenchman replies>"Yes, I do." Says the Russian.>"You see, I lobbied the government to get that road built." Explains the Frenchman. "I own all the contractors that built it. I also bought up all the properties along the highway, which all doubled in value. I made enough money to buy this villa.">The Russian is impressed with the Frenchman's ingenuity. He invites him to come visit his home in Moscow next year,>Sure enough, next year the Frenchman arrives in Moscow.>The airport is absolutely filthy. His limo begins driving down a tiny dirt road, filled with potholes. He barely even makes it to the Russian's mansion.>It's easily twice the size of the Frenchman's estate. The walls are lined with gold, and the furniture is encrusted with gems.>The Frenchman is absolutely stunned. He demands to know how the Russian could possibly afford all this.>The Russian smiles, and points out the window. "Do you see that highway out there?">"No." The Frenchman replies. "All I see is a dirt road.>"Exactly"
>>64201967>>64202359>>The Russian smiles, and points out the window. "Do you see that highway out there?">>"No." The Frenchman replies. "All I see is a dirt road.>>"Exactly"Make it railway instead and you have a perfect representation of the Kuragino-Kyzyl line>picrel is all what 5 billion $ gives you
>>64197105How fast can Ukraine produce these? I wanna see more strikes.
>>64201344>I don't think it's 'eco' as in 'ecology' but 'economy.'It is the first, it's just a common way to sell cheap shit as "hey it's ecological", similar to how polyurethane is sold as "eco leather"
>>64199941The fuck is that? A futon or a couch
>>64202721This is what they call a couch-transformer in ex-USSR or a fold-out sofa.
>>64197257In the hushed stillness of the steppe, just before dawn, the nest stirs.Here, on the cold, iron plains of the Ukrainian heartland, a most extraordinary flock begins to awaken. Born in the shadows and cradled with care, the young Ukrainian Flamingos emerge cloaked from curios view, their grey plumage dull, lifeless - yet full of promise. They twitch, they hum and then... they rise.With a thunderous chorus, the flock takes to the skies - sleek, slender, and unerringly graceful. Bound eastward, across valleys, rivers and borders, they glide with unshakable purpose. They seek not seeds nor brine shrimp… no marshland bedding. No. Their hunger is of a different kind.To the east lie the fields of their feast - lands in which they descend in precise, blinding arcs. And it is here, in this crucible of time, that their feathers undergo a terrible metamorphosis, now burning a deep, harrowing red - stained not by pigments, but by purpose. By resolve.Smoldering silence drapes over the eastern sky. This pack gorged and found rest. The next will follow. And the next after it.
>>64201344just shoot me out of a cannon or feed me to my cats, idgaf what happens to my body after I die
>>64202359>Russia has two problems: roads and idiots>One of them can be solved by a roller>They still can't figure out what to do with the roads
>>64200198That's the exact context behind this gif of Shoigu.>Will we win?>*shrug* we must.
>>64202459~7 a day now with hopes to increase that number
Normally a thread like this would be full of vatniks, jeets, angry brown people (/pol/) and rudditors calling everyone who doesn't support puccia a tourist. How come they're absent today? Or are they simply waiting to be issued new talking points?
>>64203609They aren’t absent today. There has been about a million spam threads created today and there’s currently shilling in the US weapons delivery thread. They kind of pick and choose and this one started off with trips calling for TZD and directly calling out the mass shill effort so they ignored it.
>>64199939thats the number due to plants totally out of action, the real numbers likely higher due to the damaged but still working plants shrinking output. Russia's oil and gas sector is in trouble and they dont want to talk about it.
>>64199923>It's kind of amusing that they use so much time and money to spam hereThey do it because the actual investment is near trivial. I'm sure this entire site represents less than 1/10th of their social media operations.
>>64199961>>64199943After the Kerch Bridge truck bombing and when the Kakhovka reservoir blew too. They tried to get out in front of the latter until they realized the whole damn dam was fuckin fuckered and they went quiet until they got their marching orders.
>>64203637>there are entire gaggles of retards paid to do nothing but post noise on the internet in order to make things worse for everyoneThis sorta shit is depressing, man.
>>64203698anon, the internet is mostly seo spam and bots by now. i work in a webdev/ad agency and trust me, it's all literal seo bullshit and ads, not much of anything else.
>>64203701Yeah, I basically know that. It just makes me sad. I just want to talk about tabletop and guns with randos but malicious shills have made that more and more difficult as time goes on.
>>64203721i mean, there's still 4chan, but yeah, the internet is pretty dead by now. wild that i grew up and the internet was something new and amazing to explore, and not 20 years later we have this shit
>>64203729I blame india and China. If we eradicated their population and launched the stragglers into the sun humanity would jump forward into the future.
>>64197171awesome is what it is
>>64197168I remember how smug ziggers were being about fuel prices at the start of the war.
>>64203735well yeah, but it's mostly huge corpos. do you think pajeets made people put all their family circumstances before every recipe on the internet, or made them create milions of PBN's? it's all corpo bullshit and google algorithm playing. like, you have a company and it has a blog, do you think companies really hire people who write blog posts about whatever the company's doing? no, it's all carefully scripted seo spam to trick search engines - most of the website's content isn't even for people to read, it's for search engines, that people end up reading it is just an afterthought. same with huge corporate websites, reddit, facebook, whatever. and that's only taking about seo, not mentioning scams, ai scraping, ads and fucking inhuman ad practices, etc etci could go on, but this is /k/ so i'll stop spamming now
>>64198715Nice one.

>>64203637>They do it because the actual investment is near trivial. I'm sure this entire site represents less than 1/10th of their social media operations.>1/10thIt's not even one hundredth, to give some semblance of the scale of the shilling, Germany alone had around a million messages from 50 thousand fake twitter accounts during ONE month aloneAnd those were all in german language, they also target France, Italy etc. with not just twitter spam but more complex shit like doppelganger news sites The shills we get here are the absolute bargain-bin sort, mostly based in Ghana, India, Nigeria with the exception of the few russians that are considered too dumb to do anything else by their peers
>>64204071lets also not discount the occasional russian that comes here to do it for free
>>64204076i think those are mostly diaspora kids, living vicariously through the russia stronk larp to cope with their troubles to fit in>tfw i met one that told me "theres no proof that putin knows theres a war going on in ukraine">it was as if someone took "if only the tzar knew" to its logical extreme
>>64204071>doppelganger news sitesscam sites, pbn's, fake news sites etc are a real rabbit hole
>>64201989And 5 is about how systems, leaders and in general the war machine and military complex of any one entity uses and abuses their most idealistic members to further goals that are at best dubious, and at worst actively evil, with an initial righteous ideal twisted in both ways by a (half)blind man leading the blind and one that wants to make the entire world basically mute and insular.
