The Ukrainian Armed Forces struck Russian equipment with German SMART 155 artillery round.
The SMArt carrier shell contains two submunitions with infrared sensor and millimeter wave radar, which descend over the battlefield on ballutes and attack hardened targets with explosively formed penetrator warheads. The shells are not restricted by the 2008 Convention on Cluster Munitions. They are used against stationary equipment, and can also be used in counter-battery warfare.
This type of shells is used with the PzH 2000 howitzers supplied to Ukraine by Germany. Similar self-aiming elements are also found in new types of missiles for Russian MLRS.
despite of it being minor material damages , it raises the question – where are the Russian air defense systems?
Air defense systems wouldn’t be worth the costs here. These shells are fired in volleys. The travel time is probably 1-3 minutes. Most likely the location of the artillery was spotted. Whether it was destroyed is up to question. Kievs forces usually only fire less than 5 round before repositioning their equipment. If it was spotted the Russian will keep an eye on it and hit it with a missile or artillery fire/rocket fire as has been witnessed on multiple occasions in the past.
so you do the ‘Motorola’ thing [demonstrated in a video from 2014] cellphone in a broken fighting vehicle.. make it move a bit when the drone is overhead.. then winch it down the street some more, and let them hit it..
How do you know it’s not worth it when the Russian’s won’t identify what “equipment” was destroyed?…
Thats partly right. There is a big lackof verified methods and verifications.
But I allow me to say, that accurate artillery shells and many other things are hard to hit with bows and arrows. Only slow targets are worth trying to hit
You turned me on. Can I suck your dic k? I will swallow.
Thats right. To hit them is to find them very fast and also hit them. Its a hide and seeke to stay alive for both.
Hi Paula. You were 26 years old a couple of days ago.
And Einstein was saying that time travel was not possible …crazy old fool.

Those short range missiles are what point defences like TOR and Pantsir are made for. There were pictures of missile casings with US serial numbers on them posted on telegram last night that the Russians say were shot down using pantsir.
If Russian air defences can deal with incoming missiles every HIMARS launch is an opportunity for counter battery fire. HIMAR carries 6 missiles compared to Russian Smerch/Urgan/tornado which carry 12. Ukraine has in total 12 HIMARS launchers … that’s the equivelent of 6 Russian heavy MLRS launchers of which Russia has hundreds.
I’ve heard fan boys argue that HIMARS missiles are guided … to SAMs they are all just targets. Then they argue that they are “highly mobile” as if the USA uses round wheel technology while Russia is still using square wheels. They’re just missiles.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahagahagahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Hey, NATO, how could you not stop the small and out numbered Lugansk People’s Republic to win against your protegé Ukraine? The battle is now over, and Ukraine lost. It’s the heroic LPR who is laughing AT YOU. Paper tiger.
We have not even tryed.
If Nato was there, there was not a single russian foot in Ukriane dead or alive.
You dont decide when something like that is over at all. You are happy because You think You should live in new ruins and many others only has old ones.
Thats the Russian standards.
The reason I hate Russia is they don’t approve of LGBT people like me. I love dicks. Without one in my mouth, I’ll keep bullshiting the Russians.
LPR with the help of Chechens, Russian ground and air forces, and total firepower superiority in terms of artillery is how.
It’s almost impossible for AD to intercept intercept artillery rounds.
Several here think its about the russians has lack of tennis rackets or something.
Unlike my whoring mom, she intercepts every guy on the street.
Only systems designed/capable of intercepting artillery shells is Russian 42S6 Morfey and Israeli/American Iron Dome. Artillery shells have a tiny radar signature less than 0.0001m2 smaller than most stealth drones and stealth fighters. You need high power AESA radar and active radar homing missiles. Regular semi-active radar guided missiles and PESA radar air defense is not adequate for artillery shells, only larger targets like large UAV’s, jets, etc. Russia needs to start testing out 42S6 Morfey in the battlefield. Tor/Pantsir can intercept grad rockets and smerch but not even close to artillery shells.
Correct. There is nothing to do against guided shells. Even the Iron Dome is only 30% effective.
The iron dome is one of the most useless air defense systems in the world. The only one worse of major players is the US Patriot system.
Thank you.
You can’t take out all of them. It is impossible to intercept everything.
Thats right too. So many dont see how terrible war is both ways and even the best protection is not enough.
You only can learn to hide better. As I see it for ammo and soldiers, they have to spread them out in smaller units. The enemy by that has to find more targets and then hit less.
Too bad for them. I can take all the sperm out of every dick.
Seriusly? It’s hard to intercept missiles, which can be seen with bare eyes. Trying that with artillery rounds, which aren’t visible,is impossible!
Thats a very stupid and naive question.
Wars are terrible both ways and such an umbrella dont exist. As many other in this sector of debate You learn nothing about Your enemies.
Instead You learn everything is so perfect or is expected to be so perfect for the Russian military forces.
You also seemes to ignore that finding troops and depots has changes and has been improved in many decades. By that they are much easier to find and also much more accurate can be hit.
By that the hiding is also much more diffícult as well as the defence.
Sattelites more accurate then everr is used too. Europe now use Galieo for geopostion making. By tech devellopment its more accurate and also faster(just a very good example).
By that it makes no sense at all. Im sure the Russians do what they can. But at the same time they are up against a smaller military force. But the Ukras in several ways are more advanced.
Thats Yuri Gagarin half upgraded to white trash. They painted him
Fuck off faker! This is me – jens holm. I love to suck dicks.
Fuck off, faker! This is me – jens holm. I love to suck dicks.
You should ask the opposite. Where is Russian air power? Hell the DPR is shelled daily from guns with a 30km range max? The Russian air force should be able to fly over friendly dirt to the edge of the front and fire into the enemy positions?
The Russian air force has been shown to be the weak link! Pitch up rocket attacks only from distance is like monkeys throwing sh!t at a one another. They should be able to hit anything that moves by now, yet the UAF drives openly down roads and moves arty in fields in the open with no fear from the VKS. They resupply and cross bridges that the Russians left standing to let them do so?
You are right finally gayaraja! Vks is a joke indeed hahahahahahahahahahahahahahagahagahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
There was a post in Telegram today of missile casings with US serial numbers shot down by a Pantsir battery yesterday. I’m sure Russia will deploy / re-deploy their air defences in response to this new threat. If Russian air defences can shoot down HIMAR missiles … which are the same targets as Tochka missiles … then every HIMARS strike becomes an opportunity for counter battery fire.
“where are the Russian air defense systems?”
It is extremely difficult and very cost intensive to locate (with radar) an artilery shell due to very small radar cross section and then to launch (in real time) a countering missile (for instance rocket)
Artilery locating radars (aka counter-battery) are operational since 40..50 years but
– it is one thing just to locate the shelly and based on the trajectory calculate the location of howitzer, mortar etc
– and another thing to detect the shell (moving with 600…800 m/sec, i.e. 2 Mach or over)
then calculate the interception point
transmit it tho the countering missile
launch the missile (readiness is an issue)
and -if the shell is a rocket assisted one which could modify its own trajectory during the flight
guide the counter-missile for the correct point of interception.
And you need not just one system, but a lot to protect a larger area (gathering of own troops, warehouses, airports etc)
This is the reality of war, there are loses. Only the armchair general has zero losses. Russia lost 20 million fighting the Nazis the last time around in an existential fight. This is no different today – Russia will suffer losses and will endure. The game is to win the conflict – with Ukraine having huge logistics problems – everything must come in from the west, even the repairs and also they have no way to train soldiers on their territory – all training centres get hammered in easy kills. They have to train abroad. This means that Ukraine is being ground down bit by bit. Their only decision is how much territory will remain under Kiev control before they agree peace terms!
Thhats why every airport and railway should have been taken down in Ukraine.
I truly fail to understand how border crossings with Poland, Romania, Moldova, etc. are not constantly hit or any truck caravans bombed to oblivion. There was a video posted on Intel Slava of heavy weapons in a truck convoy in Moldova taken by a driver. I mean, the stuff was obvious. Any satellite would ID it. Hey, I guess they know what they are doing and why.
Thye are well guarded by missiles. Ukriane do have aircontrol in more parts then You think.
Agree but I do not think the Russian air force has that ability. Only two ways to see it, either Russian high command refuses to attack its enemies open convoys in broad day light, refuses to bomb bridges over a massive river that those weapons must cross, the high command chooses to allow the MLRS systems and PZH 2000 to kill Russian soldiers and shell the DPR for some reason unknown….or the Russian VKS simply is not up to the task of carrying out air strikes on an enemy. It does not yet have the ability to accurately deliver fire on an enemy. I think its the latter? Yet if true they could always send the TU22 with 1500 pounders and bomb from high…yet they do not do this? Its an odd situation.
Part of me thinks its politics …. pitting westerners against one another. Like right now Germany wants the Turbine for the Nord stream, Ukraine is bitching they should not get it, wanting to be the lone spigot and wants more weapons….Putin playing them Germany may get pissed at Zelenskys demands….? But thats just over thinking it. who really knows?
All the stuff now is moving down backroads, slowing the whole logistics operation down to a snail pace. Locals are now reporting to Russia the movements, hence the roundups by Ukrainian Nazis of hundreds and hundreds of people. Russia basically has motorways for logistics supplies, Ukraine has a windy country road. They say an army marches on its stomach, well it also fights with its ammunition and guns, and the one that get’s easy supply and more, has an advantage. Ukraine has very long exposed logistics lines – Russia has short well protected ones. It’s all part of the escalatory dominance that Obama knew about and which dementated Biden thinks refers to a sixteen year old girl sitting next to him!
I got raped by Santa Claus every Christmas. Don’t take him out v
Unfortunatly thats very biased wish thinking crap.
Here You forget Russias has made total destruction and the Ukras has helped very much too. They have to pass those zones
They do try and has some succes. BUt its also Nemesis. They cant use them themself after that.
It makes sense to eliminate some of it. By that You can get firecontrol to the rest and cound troops and vehicles better.
You write as the Ukrainian military forces is shot away. Its not. You might be told. The 8 years military forces are very big.
Im sure training abroad in only for the advanced incomming stuff.
Looks like they scored a direct hit on stationary jeep. For all we know, it was a decoy set by the Russians.
no, looks like they hit an IFV that was broken.. it wasn’t straight on the road.. If they can, it will be towed to another location to be hit again…
It will be a mobile home for Russians.
I dont think so. But its a good trick to try something like that.
It is allowed to use other siteds then this.
Here its not shown what the Ukras has done.
We all has to remember we meet a lot of propaganda as well.
Sure, Russia has ZERO losses!
German weapons in the hands of ukrainian nationalists killing russians again.
it is to remark, that this is no good remake at all.
Thats no remake. Its more You try to let the the rest of the world live in the old days.
We dont. The Putin nazis onnly live in the Moskva and Vlaivostoch fictions and farces.
There is something sick and depraved about Germans of all people once again being involved in killing people in Ukraine after what they did in WW2.
The germans have been brainwashed into believing they have to stop the russians or they will kill all ukrainians. The terms used in german media for the conflict are “unprecedented russian agression on the sovereign nation of ukraine and its people” and “russian anihilation war against ukraine”.
The german media basically tell the german readers/ viewers every day that the only way for the ukrainian people to survive is to defeat russia in this war and that if russia is not stopped in ukraine they will take country by country until they are in east germany again.
They tell them that the russians are destroying entire towns and killing as many people as possible.
That only a mix of the russian incompetence and valliant effort of the ukrainian defenders and their supporters is the reason not all ukrainian towns are yet destroyed.
If i talk to germans they basically say that it is existentiell for germany and europe that russia looses this war.
And they fully believe to be with the good guys now and that by helping to defeat Putin (=new Hitler) today will show that they have fully rehabilitated and left the darkness of ww2 behind them.
It is impossible to talk any sense into anyone but some east germans. West germans are full on bord the all or nothing endgame western Freedom vs Eastern Forces of Evil.
Ha ha. My last wife died laughing by You. Tryy not to write like that again. My new one is even better then the died one.
Germany is likely to get repartitioned if this conflict escalates beyond Ukraine. It’s something the Germans haven’t quite worked out yet!
Just as japan they are limited by their past and a new made structure by USA.
I love it. It makes no sense blaming germans being at least 90 years old. Thats what You do.
Thanks to the “clever” strategy of Putin and the Russian General Staff no bridges or railways are destroyed and all Western aid reaches the front. What are they thinking? Are they thinking?
This is the real issue i think. How the hell they accept those losses while they don’t destroy the bridges? Something like a secret agreement has been made?
Does this mean Ukraine is winning? Not a chance.
Only Russian AD system capable of intercepting artillery shells is 42S6 Morfey which is Russia’s version of the Iron Dome. Artillery shells are extremely hard to intercept with normal air defense. You need AESA radar and active radar homing seekers for missiles to achieve 100% accuracy and tracking. Artillery shells can have radar signature of only 0.0001m2 smaller than camcopters and stealth jets.
Locate the Samson Option tactical nukes that Israel has distributed throughout all of Europe and the US major cities..Seymour Hersh wrote about them.
In 1999 NATO attack on former Yugoslavia our soldiers used to start the engine of some old car and leave it to be hit with such munitions. We also used a lot decoys with thermal imaging so stupid NATO commanders thought they destroyed hundreds of military vehicles.
If i recall You still surrendered though 😂
The first sucessfull “colour revolution” in the 90s was the otpor movement in yugoslavia.
Students who just wanted dollars and did not care for it’s country took to the streets with
geen sharps handbook for a revolution ans george soros money.
Now this group is called canvas. They are still soros funded and train leaders for
colour revolutions all over the planet. In a rare interview on austrian tv the canvas
founder/ leader Popovic admitted their involvment in multiple colour revolution
and proudly boasted about it. At that time which was i think a year or so before the
maidan he even mentioned that ukrainians are training through digital media cause
it would be to dangerous to go to serbia to train there.
Time to hyper strike decision making centers.
ukies like amerikan—they celebrate defeat…more ukie territory liberated every week…soon will be time to denazify trashmark and USA…only 1 indispensable nation exists—Russia
we have anti-depressants and ghettos–our standard of living is now measured in dildos—we happy lgbt
Russia has all the missiles in the world it needs for stopping the arms deliveries. Why does it not do so? Because this is a staged conflict, to hide the murderous health injection program supported btw by also Putin. Why no foreign generals at Azovstal, or Syria? Also, to create an economic downturn and hunger crisis to drive a new world order and payment system using these nanoinjections and creating a digital currency. Yes, a war also, main instigator is the British Crown Company of course, bcs it already controls most world governments and feeds you shit propaganda from tv.
I steadily increasing my beliefs that this is the damn TRUTH. Also, why Kremlin or China didn’t expose the COVID hoax right from the beginning ? This is a ‘turning point’ question which nobody can reasonable answer
An artillery round flying slow enough to be easily visible on Video??
On top of it the thing explodes few meters above target.
Video and report do not match.
That should result in another 10% decrease in Russian gas to Germany.
I trust the Russians have a long memory. It would be a shame for the German economy to turn down because natural gas is in short supply.
