What weapons will be used in these deep strikes?
>>64339970Flamingo
>>64339977Flamingo and Neptune since the latter is now reportedly upgraded to a 1000 km range
I suppose this is why the catalog looks like a street in "south asia".
>>64340095It's such an easy way to tell something is pushing the ziggers shit in
>>64339970>intelligence for long range strikesso a literally nothing?hasn't this been happening?
>>64339970Dude the zig cope is gonna be SO bad over the next couple days, gonna be amazing
>>64340109They haven’t done that for a long time
>>64340110/chug/ is already seething like crazy
>>64340164Post the funniest screencaps
>>64340110I should make a slide thread bingo card. I'm gonna bet right now- we're gonna get some variation of "can mechs be used in the military/are mechs practical" thread within the next 24 hours.
>>64339970Honestly as much as I kinda hate trump for being a wishy washy retard I can't help but respect him for how based he is in a lot of ways. He REALLY didn't want to have to do this. He REALLY didnt want to get america more involved in things kinetically. He REALLY wanted russia and UA to settle this problem on their own in a "reasonable"(if misguided) fashion to him. His retarded ass has finally caught on to the fact that the russians simply will not stop and are completely full of shit at all times, something that any reasonable person realized a decade ago. As much as the puccians have harped on the gloves coming off it's going to be hilarious to see how quickly things go down the shitter for them with even the partial support of the USA in a non token format.
>>64340188It's a welcome change compared to the Obama years where he refused to admit he was wrong because it'd be too embarrassing
>losing port facilities in the Gulf of NATO>without being at war with NATO
>>64340174I think I just lost 20 IQ points from going on that board.
>>64340255>only places it could've come from were nato controlled>sorry vlad, no idea what youre talking aboutlmao
>>64340273There's a ton of poorly defended airspace to the South and East
>>64340273Could have been launched from a ship, as the Russian drone incursions in Denmark likely were
>>64340273Well..I mean...
>>64340263>longing for the USSR>an americanit's a shame this is a common duo these days
>>64340301Then again, he might not be American.
>>64340301Ah yes, /pol/ flags. The sure indicator of one's nation.
>>64339977I suspect that the Russians (and us) seriously underestimated Donny Boy's willingness to go full psycho ex-gf once he realized Putin was playing him. This is going to be an interesting winter...
>>64340206Trump hasn't admitted he's wrong tho? He's just constantly changes what he's saying, often without any clear reasoning
>>64340301the filename is transliterated russian, so...
>>64340289Good point, could've definitely been launched from within russias borders like the spider web or whatever attack>>64340292Honestly kinda what i assumed, smallish to medium sized craft 10km away with boxes of drones>>64340296im taking the UAV swarm at face value, i realize that UA has done the whole 'cessna full of c4 with radio controls' thing in the past but i dont think they have any uavs that could do that distance let alone in mass. so im assuming something was launched from russias territorial waters after passing through the nato sea. might've just been a box truck full of the things launching from land though too i suppose.
>>64340327>i dont think they have any uavs that could do that distance let alone in mass.Did you just wake up from a 2-year long coma?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FP-5_Flamingo
>>64340321I'm saying Obama refused to admit he was wrong about Russia after Crimea and his weakness then is the only reason the situation is what it is currently
>>64340321If anything he's positioned himself perfectly to play the "I told you so bro I told you about stairs" card and make a big show of saying"I, (not America, Trump), have tried and tried to be peaceful, but now the gloves, they're tremendous gloves, the best really, but they've gotta come off. You know I tried to be peaceful, I really truly did, but now the eyebrow? It's being raised. And soon, I'm told by experts, soon everyone will know everything."
>>64340327Last I heard Flamingos are up to 200 produced per month.
>>64340335Cruise missile isnt a UAV, hence the whole 'taking the post at face value' thing. based on typical russian AD responses there would be no need to overwhelm them with a swarm, nor would people describe it as such but rather a missile strike or perhaps bombing. uav swarm heavily implies visible "drones".
>>64339970My dick is used to deep strike your mom
>>64340352fair enough.I'm surprised we haven't seen more "HATO IS USING NUKES?!?!" posting every time we get a mushroom cloud like with Toropets, shit was hilarious.
>>64340352I feel like I should elaborate on your post further, the difference between a heavy drone strike and a cruise missile strike.>Drone- shaky phone footage of a Cessna going brrrrrr and slowly waddling towards a warehouse of donbass orphans, definitely not an ammo depot>Cruise missile- comrade pidorsky is recording some good old fashioned man on man rape when the entire building in the background explodes, if you freeze frame you can see a cruise missile for one frame before impact
>>64340337It was't Obama, it was Hillary, but it was on Obama's watch. As far as I can possibly reason about it, the invasion itself was a direct consequence of her strategic reset, and then failing to properly deal with it afterwards was because she had no backbone and wanted to protect her 2016 election chances by avoiding creating the impression that she caused a major international crisis to occur.Then throw into the mix that America was still deep in GWOT and already very war weary, European quislings wanted to keep buying Russian oil and most of Europe were/are still spending well below even maintenance costs on defence and basically trashing their own alresdy-hollow militaries... I'm not even sure what meaningfully could have been done. Something, sure, but unclear what.America and NATO were clearly caught wrong footed. Hillary fucked up really badly and Obama didn't have the political to win a fight with her about it, and indeed probably didn't want to because he wanted to be a domestic president with Obamacare and shitty school lunches and whatever.God I hated that dude at the time, but I miss him now.
>>64339970>he actually became DarkMAGAThis timeline keeps delivering.
>>64340374>Obama didn't have the political to win a fight with her*political capital to
>>64340374I distinctly remember during a debate the question being asked: which nation is our biggest rival/poses the biggest risk. Mitt Romney (or maybe McCain) answered Russia, to which Obama retorted that the Cold War was over and he needed to get with the times.
>>64340374You can blame Hillary for the day to day mistakes but he's ultimately responsible for setting the tone and nominating her to that position in the first place. Also, it was Kerry by the time Crimea happened.
>>64340374He also created DEI in the federal government
>>64340391tbf china is americas greatest concern going forward and was so at the time as well. them getting ground to dust in UA is pretty thorough evidence of that. I agree that russia should've been checked much earlier and have thought the same myself since Georgia, but they certainly aren't americas greatest rival.
>>64340098Pretty sure they admitted their refining capacity is down like 38% before last nights hits which took down at least one major distillation tower.
>>64340374Obama's foreign policy was half-assed, overly idealistic, and completely inconsistent. He fucking sucked. Also, it was Kerry who was Secretary of State during the 2013-14 Maidan and first invasion.
>>64340402Unfortunately Obama went with Al Qaeda, I think China only came up in a later Romney statement as a ally of Russia
>>64340391Obama straight up laughed at Romney saying it was Russia then 2~ years later Russia took over Crimea. Obama's piss poor foreign diplomacy is why Trump won the election. Note that the issue wasn't so much that Obama was bad on diplomacy so much as he lacked ANY sort of foreign policy.
>>64340119>They haven’t done that for a long timeProbably not ever. As far as I know, previously intel was just about troop movements and weapon stores near ukraine. Long range strike intel would imply intel about strategic targets such as drone factories, inland supply depots, and maybe even about command (though I doubt USA would go that far)
>>64340374Hillary was Secretary of State in Obama's first term.
>>64340255Speaking of Shadow tankers, the French just grabbed one
>>64339970
>>64339970>Zaporizzler Nuclear Plant finna Fukushima That's why.
>>64339970>deep strikesI don't know, but I'm sure they will be numerous and devastating as long as the beacons can be defended.
>>64340765Zapo has been cold for a year now. Only risk there is if some retard decides to fuck with nuclear materials.
>>64340255That strike did some real damage. For more than two weeks there's been a dozen shadow fleet ships stuck in the Gulf of Finland unable to dock at that port. I saw some estimates saying it's costing them $40-50 million per day.
>>64340792>Only risk there is if some retard decides to fuck with nuclear materials.Which is what's happening. It's getting electricity via diesel generators, which are failing now. Electricity you need to help keep those nuclear materials cool.
>>64340773STEEL REHN
>>64340809It is been long enough that it probably does no longer need electrically assisted cooling.
>>64340374With the benefit of hindsight the correct response should have been instant and kinetic. Not like, all out war, but fragging a couple of the bigger ships in the black sea fleet and literally just responding with>Next time finna hit you harder nigga square up
>>64340321it has genuinely probably been a mix of>seeming retarded to get EU to actually pay their share for NATO so the US can better focus on the pacific pivot>seeming retarded to get the isolationist branch of his support base sympathetic after numerous failed peace dealsI think the past months have been genuine examples of mad man diplomacy aimed primarily at western allies/detractorst played civ 6
