The standing ovation to Yaroslav Hunka in 2023 should give you an idea.
The War in the Ukraine
- Thread starter SampanViking
- Start date
76 Russian tankers hit in just one week of which 28 in one day:
Ukraine hitting oil refineries and tankers trying to economically strangle Russia.
This is why modern RCWS and IRST systems are even more valuable today than before.

high-precision long-range air-launched weapons and attack unmanned aerial vehicles against port infrastructure in Odessa, Chernomorsk and Izmail, Odessa region, used for the delivery and storage of military cargo, as well as fuels and lubricants.
Defeated in the city of Kyiv:

↓ enterprise PJSC «Fanplit» – assembles and stores «Fire Point-2» unmanned aerial vehicles with a flight range of up to 200 km, as well as assembles and stores components for equipping their warheads. The enterprise is disguised as civilian production of plywood and furniture, which makes it possible to hide the true purpose of the facility from exploration and legally move cargo.
Defeated in Odessa region:
↓ port «Chernomorsk» (state enterprise «Sea trade port Chernomorsk») – processes a significant part of grain, container and bulk cargo, providing up to 90% of Ukraine’s agricultural exports, and is a key logistics hub for the supply of military cargo and fuels and lubricants to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. During the impact, tanks for storing fuels and lubricants and infrastructure used for unloading and storing military cargo were hit;

Each missile packs a 155kg HE-FRAG warhead. That's the equivalent of dropping a 300kg iron bomb. Explosive weight of a bomb is usually about half of it's weight. If you don't intercept it, it will land somewhere with a huge bang. Also the gross equivalent of 15 155mm artillery shells in one package.

If anyone as k teh question why the Russians doing nothing and strike back to the west due to the strikes on Russian soil, check the news abot Iran .
Few key point:
1. Russia gives free trade corrider on its and allied coutnires territori to its internal and to the Chinese market. Without those Iran situation would be impossible.
2. Russia gives military technology, inteligence and possibly way more to help the strikes .
3. Russia throught Iran hitting the most painfull area for the organiser of the strikes on Russian soil : NOT by killing the poor farm boy economically forced to join the army, but the pocket of the big banks and corporations, and destabilising the whole wealth network of western oligarch .
Later is the real pain. Whom care from them about one million american youth lost on the batflefield ? No one, as in the 1st/2nd WW. But destroying they trade network, and the home economics system by high interest rates? that is the killer.

The west salivating about a Russia collapse or a color revolution. Things are looking dire
Tell that to the Ukrainians. They don't see pretty happy of being used as a cannon fodder by the Europeans and their proxy war.
