Русский корабль - иди нахуй

Russians are claiming that an ATACMS with cluster munitions was used against a “civilian” beach in Crimea, and that there were 4 dead and 125 wounded.

First off, every part of Crimea is a fucking war zone, as we’ve seen over the past few months.  Second, it’s not Russian land and any Russian civilians hanging on a beach in an active war zone are swimming in the shallow end of the gene pool.

But the bigger issue is that Russian social media showed pieces of a TOR missile which is a Russian interceptor missile.

And a wide open flat beach with Russian civilians wearing very little…color me skeptical, but an ATACMS with cluster munitions would probably kill more than four people.  We see it kill far more soldiers wearing body armor all the time, as well as wrecking vehicles.

So the country that has been lobbing missiles at residential areas in Ukraine for more than two years is upset about Ukraine allegedly hitting a beach?

They had a missile battery above the beach, that protects the nearby airfield.  We are supposed to believe that Ukraine was targeting a bunch of beach goers with an expensive missile from a limited supply, and not the airfield that launches attacks against Ukraine.

I presume our CIA is stirring discontent among the ethnic Muslims in Russia’s satellites?   I hope so.  Isn’t that what we pay them for?  Stir shit and advance America’s interests?

If by "America's interests" you mean national or multinational corporate interests, then yes.

️The situation in Dagestan is only escalating.

- Some of the militants were indeed neutralized, but the shootout continues.

- Seven security officers have been killed.

- There is information about 40 hostages in the church.

- Military equipment and even helicopters are arriving at the scene.

that is kind of a cool concept. It fires standard NATO 105 rounds And is integrated on a hummer body. As it is very lightweight, it can travel quickly to an area, set up in a couple minutes, fire eight rounds, and then leave at high speed.

Spoiler

A vertical sliding breech block at the rear of the carriage structure ensures uninterrupted loading and firing of standard Nato 105mm rounds in all elevations and traversing conditions. The Hawkeye 105mm howitzer is operated by a crew of four and can be prepared for firing in less than two minutes.

The compact design of the Hawkeye MWS enables a small logistic footprint. The weapon system requires lower maintenance costs as its critical components or assemblies can be replaced at the unit level.

 

Armament

The M20 105mm cannon of the Hawkeye MWS is mounted on a circular platform for 360° firing. Equipped with a digital fire control system, the elevation and azimuth angles of the cannon are electronically controlled.

The 105mm gun can fire high-explosive and illumination rounds, rocket-assisted projectiles (RAP), high-explosive performed fragmented (HEPF) rounds, and smoke cartridges.

Two hydraulic jacks at the front and two large spades at the rear of the vehicle are lowered on the surface to make the system ready for firing. Hawkeye’s shoot-and-scoot capability enables the crew to escape from counter-battery fire and other aggressive and offensive actions by hostile forces.

The gun system offers a range of 11.6km with standard ammunition and 19.5km with rocket-assisted projectiles. It ensures a maximum range of 2,000m with direct fire rounds. The maximum rate of fire is eight rounds a minute for three minutes, while the sustained rate of fire of the gun is three rounds a minute.

The fightings between Russian forces and Islamists in Dagestan, Russia, are ongoing. So far six members of Russian police and one the national guard have been killed. 12 more are wounded. The Islamists (possibly Islamic State) lost at least 4 combatants.

2 of the IS terrorists were allegedly sons of an official of the local administration.

Russian forces are now deploying armored vehicles. What a mess.

Isn’t the Orthodox Church stuffed with FSB? 15 law enforcement officers and 4 civilians including an orthodox priest (likely current/former FSB). Perhaps this is about as close as they can get to Russian government in Dagestan? 

The Russian government runs the seminaries. There's a lot of affiliation between the church and the FSB.

That Hawkeye system is nuts - it came across my YouTube a while back and it's ideal for shoot and scoot fire missions like have been characteristic in the Ukraine war

Roll up, deploy the gun, dial in coordinates, and rounds fired in under 2 minutes. They're in and out with 9 rounds downrange in 4 minutes

If they idle that thing up the hydraulics would work better.
