I knew the Wagner group but I didn't know the leader's name. That's an odd criteria to meet when giving an opinion about the outcome. I don't think knowing the name of the leader of some militia groups is important.

It's not odd. He's a major player in this conflict. Per the usual you have no clue. But hey do you have your next user name planned out? I mean you have to prepare for your own inability to discuss things like a normal person.

I'll be honest volgr, as a classic conservative I can't really believe anything he says at this point. He's clearly compromised his personal beliefs to further his career.

If he were a principled man I could take what he says at face value. But he isn't a principled man.

You're right about the one party though. I just think you're off on some key areas/details.

I was thinking about that issue and remembered a conversation my brother and I had several weeks ago. I said something about Russian long range air to air missiles, and he pointed out you know longer that you've been targeted and have more time to evade. That's when hypersonic missiles made sense ... until you look at the other side of the equation. The faster they go, the less easily they can maneuver, and the more predictable the trajectory. Whether you look at it from a velocity or momentum standpoint, as velocity increases, it becomes increasing harder to alter and correctly alter the path to track an aerial target. It also would mean an air to ground missile would be more predictable for an intercept. The keys to intercepting a hypersonic missile would appear to be prompt detection and being close to the line of travel - you aren't going to win a tail chase.

Impressive that our much maligned Patriot system took it down, if true.

I’d guess any modern air defense missile attempting an intercept in the forward arc of the incoming missile trajectory has a shot at a kill as most all modern air defense missiles utilize intercept guidance control laws. The control law will proportionally estimate cross range rate and lead the target. The older stuff uses proportional guidance which basically just points at the missile. In anything other than a head on shot the intercept missile winds up trailing the target and once the interceptor gets in the rearward arc of the hypersonic missile it’s likely failed the intercept.

I'll bet Putin is indignant about one getting shot down. Especially one of the first few times he's used it.

Signs are coming that the counteroffensive will be starting soon. Russian occupational authorities in Melitopol are starting to pack up shop too.

The bald midget will blow that nuke plant if they withdraw. Book it. And then launch another idiotic propaganda campaign on how it was Zelensky’s fault for just not letting them have it and we’ll see the water carriers preaching it here first hand.

They could beat our little boy/girly they/them sissyfied military. Might as well just put drag queens on the front lines to fight. 🤮

Tell me you don't know anything about the modern military without telling me you know nothing about the military.
All you know about the modern US Military is what you've seen from reposts of tweets.

You should be ashamed to call yourself an American. Pathetic.

It's incomprehensible that we haven't given Ukraine the long-range missiles it needs. With them Ukraine could probably ensure the success of its coming counter-offensive. It may succeed anyway, but the long-range missiles could really put paid to Russia's rear suppy operations in Crimea and make the job lots easier. The idea that we don't want any "escalation" of the war is fairly absurd at this point: It's a war, it's been escalated. We've provided a huge amount of assistance, but our slow, incremental approach to weapons supply continues to be an issue.

This is hilarious. No break-up upon impact. No damage to the surrounding area. Do they expect us to believe it fell from the sky and just perfectly placed itself in one spot with no signs of impact whatsoever? Your boy's ain't the brightest, @Rasputin_Vol.

The “experts” who malign the Patriot System pimp other systems that are almost completely untested in combat whereas the Patriot System has been in use for decades much like vaunted Leopard tank. The Abrams tank has dominated the battlefield for decades as well essentially unchallenged.
