"mushroom cloud"
Clickbait much? God I'm so tired of Ukraine propaganda.
Eighty billion well spent. We sure showed those ruskies, didn't we.
You seem pleased that "those ruskies" are targeting civilians. That is grotesque.Eighty billion well spent. We sure showed those ruskies, didn't we.
There was a video today of someone picking off a cruise missile with a lucky MANPADS shot. They're staying low to avoid bigger air defense, which means slower. Get lucky with readiness and a long enough target presentation and you might pop one.That last one looks like it was at a vulnerable altitude if Ukraine had the proper equipment for that kind of threat.
Yep. But if Ukraine had a fighter (F-15, F-16) with solid look-down shoot-down capability, those things would be easy pickings at that altitude and speed.There was a video today of someone picking off a cruise missile with a lucky MANPADS shot.

Well the Bear struck back, with whatever fancy conventional long range munitions they had left...
Sources say that Russia is now TAPPED OUT as far as a lot of these sort of munitions.
They do have smart free fall munitions, but seem to have used much, and don't want to risk the planes by flying over the target anyway.Do the Rooskies have any precision munitions? I’m leaning towards no at this point. I know everything they dropped in Syria was dumb.

I wondered the same thing after looking at the damage pictures, they look more like V-1 accuracy.Do the Rooskies have any precision munitions? I’m leaning towards no at this point. I know everything they dropped in Syria was dumb.
I’m no JAG, but I did sit through an awful lot of Law Of Armed Conflict training over the years. A bridge used to supply the forces attacking you? Lawful target. Random civilians in cities? That’s a big no. Retaliation is authorized under LOAC if it is in-kind. They bomb your civilians, you can bomb their civilians. That is not what happened here. That bridge was a legitimate military target, civilians are not.
