Sinä tartut nyt ihan liikaa trollien juttuihin. Ei ole mitään näyttöä et moinen ois mahdollista saakka et ryssä ois onnistunut siinä. Hyvin ovat perille löytäneet eikä ole ryssä tuhonnut yhtään. Vai antaako ne niiden säälistä vain ampua HIMARS?

Russia Claims It ‘Hacked’ HIMARS Rocket Launchers. That’s Probably a Big, Fat Lie
The likelihood that Russian forces have hacked HIMARS is right around zero. Here’s why.A bizarre claim that the Russian military could hack into and precisely locate HIMARS rocket launchers has failed the test of time. The claim, which a defense pundit made in late July on Russian national television, was supposedly an “unpleasant surprise” for the Americans supplying the weapon to Ukraine. Nearly a month later, there is zero evidence any HIMARS trucks have been lost.
Alexei Leonov, editor of the Russian military magazine Arsenal Otechestva (“Arsenal of the Fatherland”), made the allegation on the Rossiya-1 TV channel, as Newsweek first reported. Leonov appeared as a guest of TV host Vladimir Solovyov, whom Newsweek duly points out is designated by the State Department as a Kremlin propagandist.
“The American system has been hacked,” Leonov announced to his television audience, “and our secret development will be deployed in all directions. A good system, I can’t name it yet, but it works at much greater distances, instantly fixing the launch site. For the Americans, this was a very unpleasant surprise.”
How Is Ukraine Using HIMARS?
Ukraine currently operates 16 M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, or HIMARS, donated by the United States. HIMARS consists of a medium-sized tactical truck that can carry up to six 227-millimeter GPS-guided rockets and launch them a distance in excess of 43 miles. Each rocket has a 200-pound, high-explosive warhead, and GPS guidance ensures each rocket can land within 16 feet of the designated aiming point.The U.S. sent the first four HIMARS to Ukraine in early June, and by late July, Ukrainian forces had struck more than 100 “high-value” military targets. HIMARS systems have proven extraordinarily effective against Russian forces in Ukraine, devastating Russian command posts, ammunition dumps, and air-defense systems. HIMARS has accelerated the hollowing out of Russia’s military forces, compounding poor leadership and supply problems by destroying headquarters units and sources of resupply.
American officials are pleased with Ukraine’s use of HIMARS, steadily upping the number of rocket launchers sent to the country as Kyiv continues to strike targets behind Russian lines. Last week, a senior U.S. defense official noted that Ukraine has “masterfully” used HIMARS, and that the latest tranche of U.S. military aid, which included HIMARS ammunition, was to ensure Ukraine received “a steady stream of ammunition to meet its needs.”
Could Russia Really Hack HIMARS?
Back to the claims. To recap, Leonov said that Russia has “hacked” HIMARS, and that Russian forces can “instantly fix the launch site.” There are two possible explanations for this.One is that Russian forces are using counter-battery radars to detect HIMARS launch locations. Counter-battery radars search the skies for enemy artillery rockets and shells in flight. Once a counter-battery radar detects incoming artillery projectiles, it can then extrapolate a likely launch location. This information is then passed on to friendly artillery that then bombard the location, ideally catching the enemy artillery before it moves to a new firing position.
Could Russian counter-battery radars help destroy HIMARS systems? Absolutely. Counter-battery radars like the Zoopark-1 can detect six 13-foot-long rockets soaring into Russian-held territory. HIMARS is a wily target, however: the M142’s truck chassis, the use of GPS to quickly lay in a HIMARS firing position, and Ukraine’s excellent network of paved roads mean that a HIMARS truck can quickly “shoot and scoot” before Russian artillery can rain down on its position.
Leonov’s use of the word “hack” implies Russian forces somehow penetrated the HIMARS system itself. This could be in reference to Russian hacking of the HIMARS communication system, navigation and targeting system, or the truck’s computer system. None of this is very likely, though: the American-made SINCGARS VHF communications system in use by Ukraine is difficult to detect, and Russian forces cannot “instantly” pinpoint the location of a single user. The navigation and targeting computers likely only receive data, broadcasting no detectable radio-frequency signal. HIMARS does use an internal computer system, but it is unlikely it broadcasts signals detectable by Russian forces at range. The likelihood Russian forces have hacked HIMARS is right around zero.
Leonov was almost certainly making stuff up to bolster Russian public opinion. This is not unprecedented in Russian state-controlled media: in 2014, Russian propagandists claimed that the guided-missile destroyer USS Donald Cook was disabled by an “electronic bomb” while in the Black Sea, one that could “deactivate the whole ship’s systems.” This is widely regarded to have been untrue, and the Donald Cook otherwise sailed through the Black Sea without incident. More recently, according to the New York Times, Russian propaganda has grown “increasingly outlandish” in an attempt to justify the invasion of Ukraine.
Alexei Leonov is no stranger to fantastic claims. In 2021, he asserted, without proof, that the Russian Su-57 fighter jet left its American rivals, the F-22 and F-35, “far behind” in terms of performance. Leonov also predicted that the upcoming Russian S-500 air defense system would fare well against the upcoming B-21 Raider stealth bomber, despite neither system being in service with either country. In early August, he declared the U.S. had started to back off its support of the Ukrainian government, the same day Washington announced a new $1 billion military aid package. Another $775 million military aid package was announced on August 19.
Russian propaganda claims the Russian military has destroyed four HIMARS launchers, yet it has produced no credible evidence to back it up. HIMARS is undoubtedly a real thorn in Russia’s side and will be a priority for destruction in the weeks and months to come. While it’s quite possible the Russian military will get lucky and destroy one of the elusive weapon systems, Moscow has no sure-fire fix for the problem—except to get out of Ukraine.
Näkyy tämä Leonov olevan melkoinen keksijä, höpöttänyt ennenkin kaikenlaista villiä. Jään toki henkeä pidätellen odottamaan että ryssä todistaa puheensa oikeiksi.

Juu, se oli itseasiassa eilen. Liittyy samaan Roizmaniin.
Minä en silti jaksa ylireagoida näistä, videolla näyttää aika pienimuotoiselta tapahtumalta. Venäjä kun on kyseessä niin oikeat, massiiviset mielenosoitukset ovat harvinaisia.
Toisaalta joku kommentoi että Roizman olisi ollut melkoisen suosittu - liekö silti hänkään mikään enkeli, Venäjällä tuskin pääsee valtaan sellaiset.
Toki voin olla myös väärässä, käyttäjä Maidan kirjoittanut viestissään vuonna 2018 näin: LÄHDE
Venäläinen sanonta "Hakkaa omia jotta vieraatkin pelkkää.." kukaan ei peruttanut.
Orjuuden aikana orjat ylpeillleen esitteli toisilleen piiskattuja hevostallissa perseita - se oli merkki isännän rakkaudesta. Jos isäntä piiskaa verille, no sehän merkki että olet tärkeä hänelle..
Tsaari on siellä valmiina, kuvernööreitakaan ei saa itse valita enää, niitä määrää pitin. Venäjällä oli ainoa adevattinen Jekaterinburgissa, Jevgenyi Roizman, joka uhrasi myös omat rahat huumeongelmien taistelussa, Jekaterinburg on "huumeisinta" aluetta. Nyt hänkin vainottuna.
Kuka tietää siis, ehkä hän on yksi harvinaisia paikallispoliitikkoja, joista pidetään aidosti hyvien tekojen takia? Jos näin on, niin sen luulisi näkyvän mikäli joutuu kaltoin kohdelluksi.
Viimeksi muokattu:
Ei tuo ihan niin väärässä ole kuin mitä täällä keskustelussa on pidetty esillä.Eivät ole kiinalaiset analyytikot ihan kartalla tai ainakaan oikealla kartalla
Tuollaisille sepustuksille on helppo nauraa mutta on myös niin että minua on ihan alusta saakka huolestuttanut juurikin se että Kiina tekee vääriä johtopäätöksiä Ukrainan sodasta ja siitä että länsimaat välttelevät sodan osapuoliksi joutumista. Jos Kiina arvio länsimaiden voimat väärin ja samalla yliarvio omat voimansa suhteessa länsimaihin ja varsinkin USA:han niin se voi johtaa ihan mihin tahansa sellaiseen minkä rinnalla Ukrainan sota ei ole yhtään mitään.
Suljetuissa ja autoritaarisissa yhteiskunnissa on se ongelma ja valuvika että kun kaikki nuoleskelevat vallanpitäjiä ja huonot uutiset ovat kiellettyjen listalla, niin homma voi kieroutua niin pahasti että maa alkaa elämään ihan omassa vaihtoehtotodellisuudessaan. Näin on jo käynyt Venäjällä ja se on todella huono uutinen Venäjän naapurimaille mutta maailman mittakaavassa paljon vakavampi asia on jos Kiina alkaa kieroutumaan ja oireilemaan samaan malliin.
Venäjällä on helkkaristi ydinmurkulaa joka yltää joka puolelle Eurooppaa.

Mielenkiintoinen sukellus Putinin perheen elämään ulkomailla: LÄHDE
How does Putin's family live abroad? Investigation. Corruption, ballet and an army of guards.
Important stories, Roman Anin, ⠀
"Important stories" and Der Spiegel received access to a unique archive of documents of an employee of the Presidential Security Service of Russia. Journalists of "Important stories" tell what they found in it.
In mid-April 2018, a group of employees of the Presidential Security Service (SBP) of Russia flew to Munich Airport from Moscow. They arrived in the capital of Bavaria with a special task.
From the airport, the presidential guards went to a hotel on the outskirts of the city. They only stayed there for a day. The next day the group moved to a hotel closer to the center. After living in it for a little over a week, they again changed their place of deployment. So the employees of the SBP wandered around the Munich hotels for a month: they settled in rooms by two, trying not to attract too much attention to themselves.
Reinforcements from Moscow arrived several times. In total, 12 officers of the Russian special services were involved in the "Munich special operation". In mid-May, having completed their special mission, they flew back to Russia.
This was not the first such trip. Over the course of almost five years, from 2016 to 2020, the security guards of the Russian President flew to Munich dozens of times, sometimes with an interval of only a few days and, as a rule, in large groups of seven to ten people.
What was the special task that so often brought employees of the Russian special services to the capital of Bavaria? It's hard to believe, but the answer is love and ballet.
During their many visits to Munich, SBP staff most often stayed at the Hotel an Der Oper. The hotel owes its name to the Bavarian State Opera, which is located on the next street, in the building of the Munich National Theatre. The Bavarian Ballet is also located there.
For six years - from 2016 to 2022 - the Russian dancer Igor Zelensky directed the ballet . He is one of the most successful and famous ballet dancers from Russia. Zelensky has been a soloist with the Mariinsky Theatre, premiere of the New York Ballet Company, and a guest soloist with the Royal Ballet of Great Britain, La Scala in Italy and other world stages.
In May of this year, "Important Stories" and the German publication Der Spiegel found out that Igor Zelensky is Vladimir Putin's son-in-law. For many years, the dancer has been in a relationship with the president's youngest daughter, Katerina Tikhonova (we don't know if they are officially scheduled). At the end of 2017, the couple had a daughter.
The special task with which ten presidential guards flew from Moscow to Munich in April 2018 was to organize a meeting between Tikhonova and Zelensky. Simultaneously with the SBP employees, a luxurious business jet with tail number LX-SIX arrived in the capital of Bavaria (remember this code, we will return to it at the end of the story). The plane was transporting Tikhonova and her daughter. After spending a month in Munich, the daughter and granddaughter of Vladimir Putin flew to Moscow on the same business jet. Following them, a crowd of presidential guards returned to Russia.
“I read, of course, both on the Internet there and in some other publications about Ekaterina Tikhonova, as well as about my other possible relatives and daughters ... I never discuss issues related to my family. They are not involved in business and are not involved in politics. They don’t climb anywhere, ”Vladimir Putin answered RBC’s question about his daughters in 2015. Since then, the president's children have managed to "get into" both business and politics, but the Kremlin continues to guard their secret as if it were the main secret of Russia.
For example, as the Russian service of the BBC reported , the eldest daughter of the president, Maria Vorontsova , became a co-owner of Nomeko in 2019. She is involved in the construction of one of the largest private medical complexes in Russia in the Leningrad region. The cost of the project is estimated at 40 billion rubles. It is funded by the Sogaz insurance group, owned and operated by friends and relatives of Vladimir Putin.
The President's youngest daughter, Katerina Tikhonova , was appointed co-chair of the coordinating council for import substitution of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (RSPP) in July of this year . “Katerina Tikhonova sits down for distribution. Without her visa, it will probably be extremely difficult to get money for import substitution, ” the economist Sergey Aleksashenko commented on the appointment in an interview with Radio Liberty .
Vladimir Putin's family used their position not only in business and politics. As a joint investigation by Important Stories and the German publication Der Spiegel showed, the youngest daughter of the Russian president, Katerina Tikhonova, used state resources both personally and in her private life - whether it was dates with Zelensky, trips to a spa hotel or trips to alpine resorts.
This archive was given to us by the same anonymous source that almost two years ago sent letters from Putin's former son-in-law, Kirill Shamalov, to the editors of Important Stories. We do not know the name or motives of the source. But these documents are of great public importance. Thanks to them, we can not only find out how the Putin family lived abroad, but also what army of intelligence officers accompanied them everywhere.
For example, at the end of May 2016, Alexei Skripchak booked a room for Tikhonova for two nights at the Hotel Continental Relax & Spa in the Swedish port city of Halmstad. The day before the arrival of Putin's youngest daughter in Sweden, seven SBP officers stopped by at a nearby hotel. The next day, along with Tikhonova, three more members of the presidential guard arrived. They settled in the same Hotel Continental Relax & Spa.
Among those who arrived, for example, were Dmitry Dankov and Dmitry Posunenko . We managed to find photos of them on social networks, and then, using image search, we found photos and videos from official events where Dankov and Posunenko guarded Vladimir Putin.
Thus, the group of escort of Putin's daughter to the SPA hotel amounted to ten people.
Or here is a trip in March 2017 for two days in London. Aleksey Skripchak booked three rooms for the six guards (they had to huddle in cramped London hotels in pairs) and three for Tikhonova and those who traveled with her.
But, of course, Germany, where Igor Zelensky worked, became the main travel destination for Putin's daughter and her bodyguards. For several years, Tikhonova and the SBP staff flew there almost every month, sometimes with an interval of only a few days between trips. Munich has become a second home for Vladimir Putin's family.
Such a number of guards, apparently, was supposed to guarantee the safety of the president's daughter. But it turned out the other way around. Such frequent trips to Germany by so many young, fit Russians with diplomatic passports were bound to attract the attention of the German secret services sooner or later. Sources told Der Spiegel that during one of the trips, the documents of the SBP employees aroused suspicion and they, as well as Putin's daughter, began to be monitored.
In just five years - from January 2016 to January 2021 - Skripchak booked a hotel for the security guards serving Tikhonova almost 100 times. Only a third of bookings were in Russia, over 40 were in Germany, with Austria and Italy being other popular travel destinations.
In the developed world, the travel of relatives of state leaders to the spa, shopping or on a date, accompanied by so many security guards, is unthinkable. Even in the US, where members of the presidential family are protected by law, they are constantly criticized by the media and society for unnecessary travel around the world that hits the taxpayer's pocket.
In Russia, members of the president 's family are entitled to state protection only if they live with him or accompany him on trips. Obviously, Katerina Tikhonova's private travels do not meet these requirements of the law.
In addition to Munich, Putin's daughter and son-in-law liked to spend time on Lake Tegernsee. Saturday is family day. First we will sleep, and then we will head towards Tegernsee. The Bavarian foothills of the Alps are simply beautiful,” Zelensky described his typical weekend in a column for the German edition of the Sueddeutsche Zeitung.
Members of the presidential family went to the beautiful foothills of the Alps, accompanied by the same crowd of employees of the Russian special services. For example, during a two-week vacation in November 2019, they were accompanied by a total of nine SBP officers. They stayed in four hotels along the lake.
Such a number of guards, apparently, was necessary in order to protect Tikhonova and Zelensky from the pernicious influence of Western values, with which Kremlin officials and propagandists have been scaring Russian citizens for many years.
“In the West, such basic concepts as the family, mother and father, man and woman were deliberately blurred ... In the social sphere, neoliberalism instills individualism, selfishness, the cult of pleasure, unrestrained consumption, absolutizes the freedom of any self-expression,” this is how the Western way of life was smashed in 2020 one of the most influential security officials in Russia is Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev. After the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, Vladimir Putin even called Russians who share Western values national traitors: “Many of these people, in their essence, mentally are there [in the West], and not here, not with our people, not with Russia” .
When Putin delivered this now-famous speech, his son-in-law and his granddaughter's father were still directors of the Bavarian Ballet. Zelensky left his post only in April of this year, explaining the departure of "family circumstances."
Members of the Putin family also used other public resources for their private trips. For example, when in April 2018 a luxury Gulfstream G650 business jet with tail number LX-SIX brought Tikhonova and her daughter to Munich to see Zelensky.
This aircraft has an interesting history. It was originally owned by a longtime friend of Vladimir Putin and one of the main exporters of Russian oil, Gennady Timchenko . As Vedomosti wrote , Timchenko bought this plane "specially to please the Russian president": the speed of the jet is close to the speed of sound. This and other planes transported not only Putin's family, but also the president himself and even his pets: "In some cases, when Putin missed his Labrador Koni on a long business trip, he was delivered to the president by plane," Vedomosti wrote.
In 2018, the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) became the ultimate owner of the business jet. RDIF is a state-owned company headed by Kirill Dmitriev . He has a long relationship with members of the Putin family. Dmitriev was the bride's guest at the wedding of Tikhonova and her previous husband, Kirill Shamalov. The head of the RDIF met the presidential family through his wife, Natalia Popova. She is an old friend of Tikhonova and her deputy at the Innopraktika Foundation.
Dmitriev's relationship with the Putin family was not limited to friendship. For example, the head of the RDIF shared confidential documents with Shamalov about the fund's future major transactions, including entry into the capital of listed companies. This kind of insider information can bring a fortune to its owner, and the one who reveals it can be imprisoned .
The RDIF plane was not the only business jet that members of the Putin family flew. They also flew a Bombardier aircraft with tail number M-FINE. This business jet belongs to the offshore company of the famous Russian entrepreneur Alexei Repik , the founder of the R-Pharm pharmaceutical holding.
Repika is one of the largest recipients of state contracts for the supply of medicines in Russia. The Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) even suspected the holding of colluding with the Ministry of Health, as well as participating in a cartel with several firms that maintained high prices for medicines in the Russian regions. But all these suspicions did not lead to any serious consequences either for Alexei Repik or for his company.
The cost of an hour of renting the same business jets that the Putin family flew is about seven to ten thousand euros. Thus, only one flight to Munich and back could cost about 40 thousand euros. There is no data in Skripchak's archive about who paid - and did they pay? for these trips. Tikhonova herself, like the rest of the people mentioned in the article, has not yet answered the questions of Important Stories.
“Spending on bodyguards who accompany the official’s daughter to the spa is an absolutely unethical use of budget funds. I can say that, for example, in the United States, such behavior will be 99% considered malpractice, and the official will have to leave his position, ”says Kush Amin , a lawyer for Transparency International. According to the expert, the use of the Tikhonov Guard and the business jet of a state-owned company for personal purposes is “an example of corrupt behavior.”

The main secret of Russia
For more than 20 years that Vladimir Putin has ruled Russia, he has refused to name his daughters, citing security concerns and the fact that his children live modest private lives.“I read, of course, both on the Internet there and in some other publications about Ekaterina Tikhonova, as well as about my other possible relatives and daughters ... I never discuss issues related to my family. They are not involved in business and are not involved in politics.

SPA operation
Information about the travels of Vladimir Putin's daughter and his security officers is known to us thanks to a unique archive of documents from the e-mail of Alexei Skripchak, an employee of the SBP assigned to Katerina Tikhonova.This archive was given to us by the same anonymous source that almost two years ago sent letters from Putin's former son-in-law, Kirill Shamalov, to the editors of Important Stories.

In Russia, members of the president 's family are entitled to state protection only if they live with him or accompany him on trips. Obviously, Katerina Tikhonova's private travels do not meet these requirements of the law.
burgher life
By the beginning of 2020, Katerina Tikhonova, apparently tired of living in two houses and constantly flying to Igor Zelensky, so she decided to move in with her partner. In October 2019, Alexey Skripchak received a letter with the subject "Moving to Germany". In it, the manager of a logistics company explained to Tikhonova's personal security guard how to correctly fill out an inventory of the transported property.In addition to Munich, Putin's daughter and son-in-law liked to spend time on Lake Tegernsee. Saturday is family day. First we will sleep, and then we will head towards Tegernsee. The Bavarian foothills of the Alps are simply beautiful,” Zelensky described his typical weekend in a column for the German edition of the Sueddeutsche Zeitung.
Members of the presidential family went to the beautiful foothills of the Alps, accompanied by the same crowd of employees of the Russian special services. For example, during a two-week vacation in November 2019, they were accompanied by a total of nine SBP officers. They stayed in four hotels along the lake.
Such a number of guards, apparently, was necessary in order to protect Tikhonova and Zelensky from the pernicious influence of Western values, with which Kremlin officials and propagandists have been scaring Russian citizens for many years.
“In the West, such basic concepts as the family, mother and father, man and woman were deliberately blurred ...

When Putin delivered this now-famous speech, his son-in-law and his granddaughter's father were still directors of the Bavarian Ballet. Zelensky left his post only in April of this year, explaining the departure of "family circumstances."
Business jets
Tikhonova's constant travels, accompanied by so many guards, were expensive. For example, booking hotels in April 2018 for the very trip to Munich with which we started this story cost almost two million rubles. And this is only one trip, and there were dozens of such a year. There is no information in Skripchak's archive about who paid for these trips, but, obviously, business trips of SBP employees were paid from the budget.Members of the Putin family also used other public resources for their private trips. For example, when in April 2018 a luxury Gulfstream G650 business jet with tail number LX-SIX brought Tikhonova and her daughter to Munich to see Zelensky.
This aircraft has an interesting history. It was originally owned by a longtime friend of Vladimir Putin and one of the main exporters of Russian oil, Gennady Timchenko . As Vedomosti wrote , Timchenko bought this plane "specially to please the Russian president": the speed of the jet is close to the speed of sound. This and other planes transported not only Putin's family, but also the president himself and even his pets: "In some cases, when Putin missed his Labrador Koni on a long business trip, he was delivered to the president by plane," Vedomosti wrote.
In 2018, the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) became the ultimate owner of the business jet. RDIF is a state-owned company headed by Kirill Dmitriev . He has a long relationship with members of the Putin family. Dmitriev was the bride's guest at the wedding of Tikhonova and her previous husband, Kirill Shamalov. The head of the RDIF met the presidential family through his wife, Natalia Popova. She is an old friend of Tikhonova and her deputy at the Innopraktika Foundation.
Dmitriev's relationship with the Putin family was not limited to friendship. For example, the head of the RDIF shared confidential documents with Shamalov about the fund's future major transactions, including entry into the capital of listed companies. This kind of insider information can bring a fortune to its owner, and the one who reveals it can be imprisoned .
The RDIF plane was not the only business jet that members of the Putin family flew. They also flew a Bombardier aircraft with tail number M-FINE. This business jet belongs to the offshore company of the famous Russian entrepreneur Alexei Repik , the founder of the R-Pharm pharmaceutical holding.
Repika is one of the largest recipients of state contracts for the supply of medicines in Russia. The Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) even suspected the holding of colluding with the Ministry of Health, as well as participating in a cartel with several firms that maintained high prices for medicines in the Russian regions. But all these suspicions did not lead to any serious consequences either for Alexei Repik or for his company.
The cost of an hour of renting the same business jets that the Putin family flew is about seven to ten thousand euros. Thus, only one flight to Munich and back could cost about 40 thousand euros. There is no data in Skripchak's archive about who paid - and did they pay? for these trips. Tikhonova herself, like the rest of the people mentioned in the article, has not yet answered the questions of Important Stories.
“Spending on bodyguards who accompany the official’s daughter to the spa is an absolutely unethical use of budget funds. I can say that, for example, in the United States, such behavior will be 99% considered malpractice, and the official will have to leave his position, ”says Kush Amin , a lawyer for Transparency International. According to the expert, the use of the Tikhonov Guard and the business jet of a state-owned company for personal purposes is “an example of corrupt behavior.”

Venäjä retostelee hakkeroineensa Ukrainan ylistetyt Himars-raketinheittimet
Väite raketinheittimien hakkeroinnista herättää runsaasti kysymyksiä sen totuudenmukaisuudesta.
Antares
Respected Leader
Ja länsimailla on helkkaristi ydinmurkulaa jotka yltävät joka puolelle Venäjää.
Niillä uhkaaminen on kertakaikkisen hyödytöntä, jos jotain aloittaa niin sama tuho kohtaa itseään.

Tässä on ilmeisesti elektronisen häirinnän laitteita Sevastopolin suunnalla, koordinaatit 44.5258830, 33.4653150
Kommenteista löytyy lisätietoa, olisi nimeltään Murmansk-BN, tarkemmat tiedot ja paljon kuvia linkin takaa:
The Murmansk BN is a modern electronic warfare system developed by the Russian company KRET. The system is designed to perform long-range communications jamming and was developed as part of a Russian strategic electronic warfare system and operates as a network-centric capability. The jamming system entered into service with the Russian army in 2014 and was deployed for the first time the same year when the 475th Independent EW Centre of the Russian navy set up a complex in the Crimea south of Sevastopol. The primary role of the system is to eliminate High Frequency (HF) broadcasts from NATO forces – in particular the HF Global Communications System of the United States (HFGCS) and high-frequency military satellite communications. According to Russian military sources, it can jam communication systems with a range from 5,000 to 8,000 km.

Onpa hurjan pitkä "deployment time", jos siis pitäisi paikkansa. Kolme päivää?
Muutenkaan en purematta niele tämän esitteen "tietoja", paljon villejä väitteitä on nähty ennenkin ilman todisteita.
Mykolajivissa puretaan suuret määrät ryssän räjähtämättömiä ohjuksia. Vanhimmat ovat vuodelta 1973.
”S-300-ohjusten raatojen kyljissä olevat valmistusajat kertovat siitä, että Venäjä joutuu käyttämään paremman puutteessa neuvostoaikaisia muinaisaseita.
Zaharovin mukaan vanhimmat hänen näkemänsä ohjusjäänteet ovat vuodelta 1973.
HS:n Mykolajivissa näkemät useat ohjusten polttoainetankit olivat 1980-luvun lopulta. Todistusaineistossa kyse on räjähtämättä jääneistä ohjusten polttoainerungoista.
KUN HAISTAA S-300-ohjuksen polttoainetankin sisälle, tulee tuoksusta ensimmäisenä mieleen virtsa. Polttoainetta on ollut ohjuksissa huikea määrä, sillä yksin S-300-ohjuksen tankilla on mittaa viitisen metriä ja halkaisija on reilusti yli aikuisen sylivälin. ”

Miten hyvin osuisikaan, jos eivät olisi hakkeroineet? Hyvän tahdon eleenä jättivät kuitenkin suht kovan suorituskyvyn vielä.Pirun hyvin ne on niillä kyllä osuneet

Maallikkonakin voi todeta, että tuossa on tundralisää melkoisesti. Maan kaarevuus taitaa vaikuttaa jo lyhyemmälläkin matkalla tuollaisen alueen hillottaminen taitaa vaatia muutamankin suurehkon voimalaitoksen energiantuotannon.

Toisilla oli hieman tujumpia terveisiä:
Helppo unohtaa että ennen koronaviruksen tuloa Valko-Venäjällä kuohui ja isosti. Voi olla, että jossain vaiheessa kuohuu taas eikä Lukashenko koplineen selviä siitä kuohusta enää.
Isänmaan puolesta

Rajuja jätkiä nämä, henki on ryssän maalla höllässä vähemmästäkin ja he uskovat parempaan huomiseen ilman Putinia.

Venäläinen oppositiopoliitikko 5 viikon kotiarestiin
klo 18:58: Venäläinen tuomioistuin asetti torstaina oppositiopoliitikko Jevgeni Roizmanin kotiarestia vastaaviin olosuhteisiin 29. syyskuuta asti eli siksi aikaa, kun hän odottaa oikeudenkäyntiä "häpäistyään" Venäjän armeijaa.Uralilaisen Jekaterinburgin kaupungin entinen pormestari on yksi maan viimeisistä oppositiohahmoista, jota ei ole vielä passitettu kaltereiden taakse. Hänet pidätettiin keskiviikkona kotonaan Jekaterinburgissa, kun tusina aseistautunutta poliisia tunkeutui hänen asuntoonsa.
Roizman on saanut jo kolme sakkoa arvosteltuaan Venäjän hyökkäystä Ukrainaan. NATALIA CHERNOKHATOVA / REUTERS
Uutistoimisto AFP:n torstai-iltana julkaiseman raportin mukaan 59-vuotias Roizman saa poistua asuinpaikastaan vain minuutiksi päivässä. Hän ei voi osallistua julkisiin tilaisuuksiin, käyttää Internetiä tai lähettää saati vastaanottaa kirjeitä. Kommunikointi on sallittu vain läheisten perheenjäsenten, asianajajan sekä tutkijoiden kanssa.
Roizmanin kannattajat hurrasivat ja taputtivat huutaen "Freedom!", kun oppositiopoliitikko saatettiin oikeussaliin, AFP:n toimittaja kirjoittaa.
Lähes kaikki presidentti Vladimir Putinin merkittävät poliittiset vastustajat ovat joko paenneet maasta tai viruvat vankilassa. Hiljattain on pidätetty myös valtuutettu Ilja Jašin sekä aktivisti Vladimir Kara-Murza näiden arvosteltua Venäjän hyökkäystä Ukrainaan. Kumpaakin uhkaa 10 vuoden vankeustuomio.
Mihin toinen maailmansota todellisuudessa ratkesi?
Aivan, USA:n käytännössä rajattomaan teolliseen kapasiteettiin, joka muutettiin suurimmalta osin sodankäynnin tarpeisiin. Nykyteknologia on tietysti haastavampaa, mutta riittävällä nipulla dollareita on tapana tehdä vaikeasta helppoa.
