Russian invasion of Ukraine

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Trump is already back peddling on the Tomahawks, stating that the US may need them. Presumably for Venezuela, Greenland, Canada etc

Tedious ****.

Russian stuff blowing up: Ukraine steps up assault on Russian energy infrastructure

Russia would rather lose hundreds, even thousands, of troops in an effort to hold onto territory rather than retreat from an untenable position. Novotoretske is at the base of the Dobropillia salient. Nizhny Novgorod, east of Moscow, is Russia’s sixth...

- Ukraine hitting refinaries for the 2nd and third time. Refinary / Storage tanks in Crimea hit for the 3rd time.
- Ukraine attacking Russian power infrastructure.
- Russian demonstrations against Putin in St. Petersburg.
- Russian fuel shortages and queues at petrol stations.
- NATO countries stepping up to the plate to support Ukraine with big purchases and weapons donations.
- idiotic tank and APC cavalry charge near doproprov

Perhaps Europe is sensing we're closer to the tipping point - the best time to wade in with critical mass of power and resources, long as Ukraine were able to survive the war of attrition to that moment.

The only tomahawks that America will be sending Ukraine will be full of hormones and best served medium rare with ‘fries’.

I beg to differ

The more you read about Tomahawks, the more you understand that Ukraine will never get their hands on them.

Land based Tomahawk launchers have only been in development since 2019 (as they were banned previously). Apparently the US only has two of them. There’s no way they’re giving either to Ukraine with the current tensions around the world.

There are plenty of sea based (submarine based) launchers that could theoretically be given to Ukraine - but Ukraine lacks the naval power to utilise them.

Ukraine are developing numerous long-distance missiles and I’d imagine this will be a quicker route to hitting targets deeper in Russia, compared to waiting for support from a Donald Trump who’s trying his absolute best to give Putin a lifeline.

It’s so obvious Putin is pulling Trumps strings

Do Europe not have an equivalent to tomahawks?, surely the US aren't the only ones with the tech Ukraine need?

Could a tomahawk bring the bridge down?

Do Europe not have an equivalent to tomahawks?, surely the US aren't the only ones with the tech Ukraine need?

The Germans have Taurus, which is the long range version of scalp/storm shadow, which we and the French have supplied to Ukraine
For some reason, the Germans won't transfer any

Could a tomahawk bring the bridge down?

Yes in sufficient numbers. As could the storm shadow and flamingo’s as well as the guided bombs dropped from F16’s if they are willing to risk the planes.

At this point I don’t believe personally that the bridge is still there though lack of means but is intentional.
