The UK isn't going to materially shift it's position. We might just shout less about it though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the easiest political win out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnkarl Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 HIMARs are seemingly having a much larger effect for Ukraine than anyone thought. It’s time to ramp up the deliveries of these so Ukraine can beat Russia at their own silly artillery game. You know the HIMARs are working because Putin’s been sabre rattling in several Russian media outlets today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, but it looks like they used their own long range 155 calibre system at least for the video. (Might just be PR) They have one prototype which can reach around 40k’s, and it is within range from the coast South of Odessa. The HIMARS are great for more active fronts as you can fire and move so quickly at a range very few Russian systems can match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit like a crook who eventually wants to be caught, I think he wants someone to kill him. The rockets during G7, now this. He’s pulling the tigers tail big time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This clip was mentioned on the news last night and apparently someone from Russia said it was only intended for an internal audience, not international. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robby b Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 So Russians are banned from calling the special military operation a war but... according to the BBC, Putin mentioned the "war in Donbas" in remarks to parliamentary leaders on Thursday. Oops. He should really put himself in jail for some years. I was also just reading about a very brave Moscow politician who has been jailed for seven years for speaking out against the war.
