Russian invasion of Ukraine

Ironically,I mentioned them in an earlier post....GLSDB.
I can't confirm it,but,I think the Russians in Mariupol had a taste of them last night.
Feet on the ground are apparently saying,they was hit with something that hasn't been used before.
Hope it's true,but like I say,I can't confirm.

Slava Ukraini.

Good.
Possibly JDAM guided bomb conversion kits. Very cheap - although they won't be getting the bulk of these for a few weeks.
Both much cheaper than HIMARS.
Value for money - driving down the cost of defending Ukraine against aggression.

KOS Review Day 364:

Ukraine Invasion Day 364: entering the second year of war

Same war, different day. Russia continues its war of imperial expansion referred to still as a “special military operation”. Absent the complete collapse of either the Ukrainian or Russian armed forces, the grim reality is that the war will likely drag...

With the various things in the pipeline you wonder how long the Crimea bridge will last and the black sea fleet. If that bridge goes then it's difficult to see how the Russian occupation is sustainable.

If they manage to take out that bridge, we'll have to start a gofundme page to rehome all of our resident bluemoon Russian trolls, the Ukrainian refugees have taken up all the usual spaces.

Nah. I took far, far more than my fair share as a teenager and I'm not fucking stupid.

“I rest my case” would seem to be the appropriate response here?

I'd give the occupants of Crimea a deadline. Fuck off home to Russia before we demolish the bridge. Remain at your peril

This one is very interesting indeed. From reading up. JDAM's are plane launched and can be up to 2000kg.

The fact they are plane launched is very telling. and 2000kg! thats a very significant upgrade in punching power.

For reference.
HIMARS ammo( the standard stuff ) is < 100kg.
GLSDB is about 200kg.

That landing on some dug in trenches, ammo depot, bunkers etc will do some damage. The Russians don’t have this type of precision in their targeting apart from their cruise missiles which are becoming depleted.

The Russians don’t seem to notice the drones dropping small munitions on them. A JDAM dropping in unannounced would be even more terrifying. How do they go to sleep at night in trenches with that amount of threat and jeopardy around?

Vodka,and plenty of it.

Permanently.
