Oh yes they will. At a bare minimum those airbases will get hit with the Kh-101.
The War in the Ukraine
- Thread starter SampanViking
- Start date
The Ukrainian army began to use ground-based kamikaze drones. Everyone in Ukraine is already accustomed to the use of flying kamikaze drones, but ground-based kamikaze drones are gradually beginning to be used, and their role should not be underestimated. The Ukrainian army published a video of the use of a ground-based kamikaze drone equipped with TM-62 anti-tank mines, the type of drone used is unknown, it is probably homemade. As you can see from the video, such drones could become a new threat at the front. For now they are rarely used.
Footage of the impact of the Russian kamikaze drone “Lancet-51” on the Ukrainian 155-mm Slovak-made Zuzana 2 self-propelled gun has been published. The Zuzana 2 self-propelled gun was developed in 1998 and placed on a Tatra 817 wheeled chassis, the self-propelled gun’s firing range is up to 40 kilometers, and the rate of fire is up to 6 rounds per minute. According to official data, only 28 Zuzana 2 self-propelled guns were produced. As a result of the Lancet drone strike, a strong fire started in the self-propelled gun.
February 2024 set a record for the number of published strikes with Lancet loitering munitions. A total of 163 new strikes were published.
Thats just insane this is not counting krasnopol, MLRS, air to ground missile, ATGM, RPG and air strikes hitting Ukrainian equipment. Just look at the webpage, any NAFO fan that gets hyped up with what Ukraine gets supplied with and you show him that webpage it will make that person no longer fucking care what Ukraine gets supplied with anymore. If this is what the west has the best to offer to Ukraine, Now imagine that this was just a fraction of Russia's full army capabilities in which they start fully using koalition howitzers, tornado systems, HERMES MLRS systems, T-14s and more of the latest T-90s, Drel bombs, production plant of their own to produce 500 Geran-2s a month with jet engines with thermobaric warheads, izdeliye-53 MLRS drone launchers, etc.

Sometimes some statements here impress me. It's a satellite that sees everything and knows everything at any time, forget everything about the kill chain. It is radar that covers half of Europe detecting F-35s taking off in Italy and in addition to several other nonsense statements.
They were already using them in 2022. I saw a video of Ukranians using it back then.
I think that drones are pretty unusable. They can get a hit under perfect conditions but is very easy that they get stuck somewhere and the commercial production numbers in general are smaller that for flying drones.
Just make a test. Go to any open land and try to operate one commercial ground drone. It gets stuck everywhere, it only work well in asphalt
Didn't link this right the other time. Four FAB-250 with UMPK hit a Ukrainian warehouse complex of the AFU in the Kharkhiv region.
France looks to supply Ukraine with a hundred Delair DT-46 drones.
20 Ukrainian marines of the 73rd Marine Center of the AFU wasted in an attempt to do a propaganda photo stunt of planting a flag in Crimea, according to interrogation of lone survivor.
Another Ukrainian 2S1 Gvozdika taken out in counterbattery exchange aka artillery duels. This in South Donetsk.
The Ukrainian side of the Dniepr gets their daily dose of artillery and bomb strikes.
Ukrainian recruiters trying to voluntarily enlist a man who ran up a tree to escape them.
Another AFU S-300 silenced. This at the Bogdanova Poktrovsky district.
Another raid of Storm Shadow and Scalp cruise missiles allegedly intercepted over Crimea. The Crimean Bridge currently under defensive smoke generation.
Russian flag raised somewhere in Novomikhailovka as Russians take ground but fighting rages.
An attempt for evacuation was thwarted when the AFU vehicle was destroyed by a shell from a MSTA-B of the 238th Brigade. A Ukrainian observation tower is knocked out by Krasnopol by the 238th Brigade. The shell was launched from a MSTA-B gun.
Ukrainians released photo of burning Slovak Zuzana-2 SPG. Most destroyed of the type were recorded in the Dniepr front of Kherson where one was recently taken out by Lancet and another by counterbattery exchange.
Tank assault of the 5th Brigade at Krasnogorovka.
Two abandoned T-72s, one a trophy T-72B3 captured previously from the Russians and the other a T-72AV. Also an abandoned Marder, all along the Avdeyevka front during the Ukrainian retreat. If recovered the two T-72 might be something the Russians could reuse.
TOS launching. Recently Shoigu mentioned that since the beginning of the SMO, over 4000 TOS launches have been made.

As long as it flies high enough it will indeed by detected by OTH radar. Stealth is useless when the radar operates at decimeter wavelength. Of course they can still operate undetected as long as you fly close enough to the ground or hide in areas where there is ground clutter.
I can't help but think these "North Korean" shells coming to light at this time reflects some sort of change. Both on weibo and myself I can see two possibilities:
1. It's a message for NATO, in light of recent noise for greater NATO involvement in the war it may be a warning message that this escalation will result in greater support from mysterious power from the east towards Russia.
2. Ever since the start of the war folks in China who deals with Russia have been saying Russia is not entirely pleased with level of support from China, with their main argument being the Soviet Union provided much greater material aid to China during the Korean War and today a reciprocation is expected. The Chinese retort to this is generally "Well you didn't provide all that aid initially did you? You only did once PVA proved their prowess on the battlefield after the first 3 offensive phases. If you guys can perform as well today as PVA then we can talk."
It may be that Russian performance since the partial mobilisation has proved their united front value, hence the escalating material support. News about the Desertcross 1000-3 deal emerged in November where it was clear Russians have successfully defeated the Ukrainian summer counteroffensive. And now these shells are starting to show up after Avdeevka was successfully captured.
Bundeswehr high ranking officers got wiretapped and Russians published the conversation on social media. The German officers discuss about sending Taurus missiles to Ukraine and how they can take down the Crimean Bridge. One officer said it would only make a dent, not ten, not even 20 missiles.
According to Bild, the conversation is genuine as the German government now attempts to block and close social media.
UAV tracked the location of a temporary base used by a battalion of the 38th Marine Brigade of the AFU in Kherson. Subsequently later, it was treated with an Uragan attack. Noting the dispersion pattern of the Uragans are close, tight and accurate unlike Grads which tend to be spread out. Up to 30 pieces of equipment and personnel are alleged to be in the target area. Another thing to note is the final footage is from an Orlan with night vision and it itself is lasing in preparation for either a Krasnopol or Kh-38ML attack.
More details on strike on AFU AD asset on Bogdanivka Pokrovsky area. The culprit munition appears to be Tornado-S. Some say the AD system to be a NASAMS.
Just BMP porn. Shots of BMP-2 with the Berezhok combat module in the SMO. The module includes 30mm cannon and some ATGMs.
Fully decked out BMP-3.
AFU launched a missile attack at Crimea but all in vain. 2 Su-24 and 2 MiG-29 involved with a wave of MALD then Storm Shadow and/or SCALP. No missile got through according to the Russians and according to MoD, some attacking aircraft were shot down.
Chasiv Yar. Sever-V unit tracks arrival of Ukrainian special forces via UAV to a temporary shelter. The shelter got shelled without a miss (via Krasnopol likely) but the troops escaped that and moved to a second shelter. Which in turn was quickly shelled.
Russian subscribers overloading Starlink in the Ukraine region.
Note AI target captures by the ZALA Supercam UAV that sends the target coordinates to Lancets.
Abandoned in Avdeyevka. A Coyote armored car of the AFU
The AFU 2S1 Gvozdika must be carrying a full load of ammo to go off like that. A victim of counterbattery, located in South Donetsk.
Captured FAMAS Feline assault rifle in the hands of Russian special forces in the Storm detachment of the 10th Tank Regiment.
Possible Krasnopol or X-38ML strike on the right side of the Dniepr against Ukrainian targets. Orlan lasing targets.
Note on alleged Chinese 122mm shells. These might be for the D-30 and 2S1 Gvozdika in Russian service. The newer ammunition might incorporate aerodynamic gains over the old designs that would improve range over the old shells.
