But if you are going to hit a stationary target, lets say a meeting place you know its going to be used at certain time of the day, you could launch one of those things and let it loiter over the target high enough to avoid being heard and set an internal clock to hit the target at the expected time.
Direct fire more likely. They are very useful for anti infantry role. A hit from one of these to a human body will turn it into tbone steaks and hamburger meat. (With the proud showings of cannibalism in UAF a few months ago it should be good news) It was an isis favorite in Syria, and coincidentally Syrian forces used anti aircraft guns for direct fire support as well.
@SolarWarden I deleted this specific post because we do not tolerate low-quality bullshit comments insinuating Russian troops are cannon fodder, m'kay? This is your first warning.
They will use it as indirect fire support. Do I need to explain what that means or do you already know?
Here:
Yes, that's less than 300 km from Gomel to Kiev, very close indeed. But I think the main objective of this new front if it really starts will be to advance towards Lviv and not Kiev, they should probably ignore Kiev or just launch a distraction attack to hide their main objective, to close the Ukrainian border. Let's wait. But everything seems to indicate that the new front can really begin, even more so with the indication of the issue of Chinese evacuation.
Were these foreigners there on Feb 24th or did they leave and come back when Russia retreated from Kyiv? Also Kyiv got hit a few days ago by missiles and drones maybe this is the result of those attacks?
Russia would need to include Romania and Hungarian borders as well as Poland's. Given the Russians are strugling to protect their own border towns I think that is unlikely.
