The War in the Ukraine

Upyr drone strikes AFU high speed boats used by SoF. FPV drones have been very effective against these US supplied boats. The first attack was a grenade drop the second was a kamekaze.


Another Upyr or Ghoul drone attack on AFU SoF high speed boats.


Russian missile strike against the city of Sinelnikovo at the Dnipropetrovosk region. Likely targeting an HQ, vehicle hanger or ammo depot.


Mastiff picks up a rotation of AFU troops, dropping new ones off and retrieving previous ones. Then it ran under fire from the 40th Marines, where it either suffered a direct hit or ran into a mine. Should be in the Novodonetsk area.


AFU temporary deployment point and ammo depot in Kherson hit with a precision mission strike.


AFU communication tower in Kherson hit by an FPV drone.


Point blank accurate mortar fire on a Ukrainian troop company.


This looks bad. Multiple AFU vehicles seen burning over a wide area in Rabotino - Verbove front.


Ukrainian troop company trying to rotate to their truck, gets a direct hit from artillery. Note the trend of tracking and attacking rotations.


More Western weapons recently captured by the VDV.




Ukrainian T-72M1 gets hit by artillery.


Another artillery strike on a Ukrainian tank and troops by the 'Veterans' special army reserves unit or BARS. Both these videos from the northern front where there has been a media shutdown and allowable footage only shown in official channels like RT, such as these.

And i guess Pershing etc is not a Ballistic missile too. So does Iskander.

But that's just semantics at this point.

I don't understand the point you're trying to make.

A huge hit in Sevastopol

The thing is that trajectory. Like basically there are 2 kinds of surface to surface missile trajectory, Cruise missile and then ballistic missile.

The ballistic missile follows ballistic trajectory. At least most in their path but then we have things like Iskander that can also maneuver and change trajectory deviates from the "pure" Ballistic like one say R-17/Scud and those using "maneuvereable warhead" like Pershing which use MARV. For that i remember there are those coining the term "Quasi-ballistic" But they're all still lies in same bracket.

Or if you still cant understand. ATACMS is still a Tactical Ballistic Missile, regardless whether it maneuvers or not. Same gimmick as Russian iskander. Both can maneuver, yet the latter are still a Ballistic missile. But then we have marketing dept which want to make the missile stand out thuse we arrived at the current situation.

Ukraine has had stormshadows for a while now and hasn't tried to hit Sevastopol due to lack of range the models they got... looks like that has changed and Briton gave them their latest?

Another possibility is ATACMs are already in Ukraine and the announcement by the Whitehouse tomorrow or couple days is a formality. Ukraine did use storm shadows I think the same day or next day it was announced by UK and HARM missiles were never announced they were in Ukraine hands until Russia showed debris of the HARM.

Either way Russian naval ships in Sevastopol are now in range of Ukraine and Russia is going to have to decide take the risk and stay or evacuate.

Combined strike of the Ukrainian army on Sevastopol on September 13. On the night of September 13, the Ukrainian Armed Forces carried out a large-scale missile attack on a ship repair plant in Sevastopol using cruise missiles and naval drones. The thirteenth ship repair plant in the Kilen-balka area was hit. There was also a hit at Sevmorzavod, a shipbuilding enterprise on the ship side of Sevastopol. Explosions were also heard in the Inkerman area, where ships and submarines of the Russian Black Sea Fleet are based. To strike Sevastopol, 10 cruise missiles and three naval drones were used. At the time of the attack, the shipyard was home to a large landing ship and a KILO-class submarine. The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that two ships under repair were damaged. It is also reported that 7 out of 10 Ukrainian cruise missiles were shot down and 3 naval drones were destroyed. As a result of the strike, according to preliminary information, a total of 24 people were injured, 4 were in moderate condition.

In fact I have no info yet in how this was done

Ship looks like a write off, th super structure looks like it's melted.

The rapucha is now irrecoverable scrap metal... when Ukraine begins to improve its strategic and combined arms attacks, the results will be even more devastating. For their part, the Russians feel a little helpless.

I hope they don't cover their surface ships and submarines with tires now.

I’m still trying to wrap my head around how poor the Russian decision making has proven to be. When Ukraine is able to strike even Moscow with impunity, when the Russian AD umbrella has more holes than Swiss cheese, they decide to dry dock a Kilo in Sevastopol? In full view of satellites? They’re basically just hoping they get a 100% interception rate, and we know they didn’t get that. Bizarre.
