And Russia has cruise missiles with ranges far in excess of that of a Patriot interceptor. The Kh-55, for instance, has an official range of more than 3.000 km. Even if that's exaggerated, the Russians can demonstrably launch cruise missiles from well within their own territory where the Ukrainians can't hit them. That's why it'd be so important Western countries equip Ukraine with far-reaching cruise missiles for targeting Russian air bases.
Even if the Ukrainians want to shoot down Su-34s, that use gliding bombs with a range of 70km, they have to deploy their Patriot systems* uncomfortably close from the frontline. I heard a Polish analyst saying that the Orcs have increased the effectiveness of using drones and their drones are able to operate like 50km behind the frontline plus they exponentially increased their command chain decision time. Once they spot a target, they can make a decision about attacking it in 1-2 minutes, while it used to be a few hours in 2022.
Where did you get this information from? The missile violated the Polish airspace for 39 seconds and left it towards Ukraine.
And 10 years down the line they will simply claim "didn't happen, sov... Russian soldiers were the most humane in the war. Anything else is western propaganda."
someone has a plan. Otherwise very little point in sinking these, when the bridge still stands.
I had read somewhere recently that it wouldn't make sense to destroy the bridge as long as orkland still has its landing ships
What i ask myself, how could it "stay" 39 seconds in polish airspace, and get only 1km in it... i dont realy know how fast this things are, but anyways in 39 seconds, such a part can certainly cover more than 1 km...Where did you get this information from? The missile violated the Polish airspace for 39 seconds and left it towards Ukraine.
That Polish village is located 1km from the Ukrainian border, certainly not 30km:
By flying close to parallel to the border at the maximum depth of 1km?
The media does whatever their political masters tells them to do.
When these are the guys, who did it, they deserve much uglier things (in my opinion). What is strange, is that in this case the "Law enforcement troops" did it to them and everybody in ruZZia, seems ok with it. Imagine in a Western European country a policeman or other security forces would do something like this to a prisoner... He would have no more fun in life (no matter how much the perpetrator may have deserved it).
Better get an A-50 up to provide security for them!
