These are from the M30A1 warheads we recently started shipping them. 182,000 Tungsten BBs around 196lbs of explosive charge. It's gonna suck to be an RU soldier in a trench this winter. 

Quote

The secret of the M30A1 lies in a huge number of tungsten BBs arranged around an explosive core – about 182,000 of them. The design is from a technology known as Lethality Enhanced Ordnance developed by Orbital ATK, later acquired by Northrop GrummanNOC +0.6%. This approach uses computer modeling to calculate the optimum size, number, density and placement of fragments to ensure that a warhead produces the maximum possible effect against a specific type of target. The developers claim that the M30A1 produces the same sort of lethality as the cluster warhead. This blanketed an area of over four football fields per rocket, so a salvo of six would blanket half a square mile.

Yeah, but counterpoint......the rooskies are building WWI style trenches, and covering themselves with wooden pallets.  That can't be defeated by Tungsten Balls (also, the name of my speedmetal band).

Great question.

On February 25th, I think most of us would have said "survive as a nation state" would be a big win.  I think they've secured that (at least, as much as you can while hostilities are still ongoing).

Today.....is it:

1) expel all Russian troops from ALL occupied territory, including Crimea?

2) expel all Russian troops from all occupied territory EXCEPT Crimea?

3) push Russian troops back to the line of conflict that existed on February 23rd?

4) some version of 1-3, leaving the Russian regime intact, and restoring its weapons stocks?

5) some version of 1-3, but having forced regime change in Russia?

We can come up with what we WANT (destroy the Russian military so that it can't be reconstituted as a modern fighting force for 10-20 years, push them out of all Ukrainian territory, and force regime change in Russia), but yeah, there are multiple outcomes that could be deemed a "win."  So, maybe my question is "presuming a middle of the road goal like pushing the Russians back to the line of contact on February 23rd."

I think it’s # 1 at this point. Appeasing the Russians over the annexation of Crimea was clearly a mistake.

So Peskov just outright admitted Russia being a terrorist state as their 'valid' strategy to bring Zelenskyy to the negotiation table.  There's that.

https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/11/17/7376792/

Quote

Source: Russian news agency Interfax, citing Dmitry Peskov, press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation

Details: In particular, Peskov stated that the missile strikes are aimed at Ukraine’s infrastructure facilities, which are supposedly "directly or indirectly related to its military potential".

He said the lack of electricity and heating in many areas of Ukraine is the consequence of the actions of the Kyiv authorities in refusing to negotiate.

Quote: "The reluctance of the Ukrainian side to resolve the problem, to enter into negotiations, and, especially, the actions of the Ukrainian side in abandoning the agreed understanding of the text and so on, these are all the consequences, and we need to talk about this too."

So stupid. "...directly or indirectly related to its military potential" isn't even a caveat. There ain't a single thing you could point to and say it has no indirect impact on military potential. Kindergarten class on the playground? Yep, they could potentially grow up to become soldiers, so fair game. Old folks home? One of them could potentially win the lottery and then use some of their winnings to buy socks for their grandkid who is serving in the military.

Well, and with Russia's recent statements about mobilizing the entire Russian economy to support the war, there's no literally nothing inside of Russia that's not a military target....by the Russian definition, at least.

That poor kid looks like he's 60 years old.  And there are scores of thousands of Ukrainians in much worse shape than he is.

fuck putin

The scars of war are generational.  They always are.  It's why war sucks and Putin is a piece of dick.  Justice would be his children and grandchildren being visited with such suffering themselves.

Seeing those images of the Ukrainian kid on the last page just really hammers home how lucky we are to be Americans. My son and pregnant wife will never see that terror at home. DGAF what anyone else may say about America, but we are fortunate.

1)…..I sure hope you’re right. Not from a foreign invader….but we’re damned well capable of doing horrific shit to ourselves.

2) seeing that vid of the Ukrainian soldier in tears from liberating his hometown of Kherson…man, imagine that. Imagine marching back in to Austin. Battered, broken in places. No power, few resources. But you march back in to your home town as a liberator. You walk down Congress. Broken windows. Bullet holes. You reach the Capitol, where the occupiers’ flag was just lowered. Our flag is raised. Your home. Now free. Yeah, that’s gotta be one of the most emotional experiences imaginable.

No offense I hope, but you were the skeptic I had in mind when I wondered who would respond the way you did first. Regardless, Bubba Ray down the way aint firing rockets through my back window, or destroying our electric substations, etc. I get your sentiment, but that’s not really what I’m talking about. Anyway, i am more interested in finding common ground, and I know we both agree with the sentiment of Fuck Russia 🤘

Ukrainians need to run their own version of Operation Wandering Soul, (US tried to use the Vietnamese fear/fascination with ghosts against them).  The Ukrainians could make it about two of the things Russian soldiers hold dearest - toilets and washing machines.  Maybe run psychological campaigns blasting texts out through social media channels favored by Russians, about how the toilets and washing machines that they shipped back home to Russia are being used by the next-door neighbor who is fucking their girlfriends/wives/moms while they are dying in Ukraine.  I'm not sure what the Russian form of "Jody" is, but google says it's "Джоди"

Meanwhile, in other news, Navalny is in solitary.

https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/18/europe/russia-alexey-cell-solitary-confinement-intl/index.html

Quote

Imprisoned Russian dissident Alexey Navalny has been transferred into a solitary prison cell, according to tweets from himself and his staff, in what he described as a move designed to “shut me up.” 

Navalny, a prominent critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, explained what happened in a Thursday Twitter thread: “Congratulations, I’ve moved up one more level in the hierarchy of prison offenders,” Navalny wrote with irony, adding that prison officials moved him to a cramped “cell-type room.”

Cell-type rooms are used as punishment or to separate the most dangerous offenders in the Russian penitentiary system. Inmates in Russian penal colonies are more typically housed in barracks instead of cells according to a report by Poland-based think tank the Centre for Eastern Studies (OSW). 

In his isolation, Navalny said that he is allowed just two books and can use prison commissary, “albeit with a very limited budget.”

Quote

“Alexey Navalny was transferred to a cell-type room. It’s like a punishment cell, only not for 15 days, but forever,” wrote his spokesperson Kira Yarmysh on Twitter. 

According to the Russian penal code, detention in a cell-type room cannot exceed six months. CNN has reached out to Russian penitentiary services for comment.
