Reported 1,000 kg payload, enough to blow apart buildings

 

The shape and size remind me of an earlier weapon.  Even the payload is somewhat similar 850 kg versus 1,000 kg.  A bit faster, with a longer range and I'm sure much, much more accurate.  Hopefully this has a greater effect on the conflict.

The US dead-ass just copied the V1 and V2 for our first cruise and ballistic missiles - our first sub launched nuke the Regulus Missile was a first gen iteration. The base design is well-proven at least

The best part is that Trump frequently caves to the most recent people who speak to him. He walks out of a meeting with Putin and mimics Russian talking points. There is a fair chance that the European leaders today can easily manipulate Trump into their viewpoint. But you definitely cannot fight against Trump. You need to show him how he's the smartest guy in the world, and its inconceivable that he hasn't won the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts.

I don't believe for a second that all of these leaders dont' have psychologists on their payroll telling them how to deal with Trump.

I've noticed this as well.  Whoever has his ear last is the most likely to get their way on a given point.  While he has a proven affinity for "strong" men, he can be manipulated by good as well.  It's just that the good have to get over...well...being good.

Been going on since the first Sumerian strapped a piece of shale to his horse.  

And I'm gonna guess our top of the line tanks are just as vulnerable.

And, I think the main thing is to keep a shaped charge off the surface of the armor, and that has been an issue addressed by stand-off devices since at least WWII.

Zelensky should reposition Ukraine as wanting to expel illegal aliens (Russians) from within their borders and praising how Trump has lowered new illegal immigration to 0. And how the rest of the world should look up to Trump in securing borders. 

This would 100% work and I'm not being sarcastic.

It is unrealistic to think that Crimea is going back to Ukraine. Short of a larger invasion force. And if Ukraine can trade Crimea to get their other territories back, that might be a reasonable trade off. Ukraine could probably find a method to receive financial reparations for Crimea at some level.

The problem with Crimea, besides the fact that the people voted to join Ukraine, is that it's not just about the fabled warm water port for Russia, it's that it controls a massive amount of offshore oil & gas, that Putin probably promised a lot of cronies. It gives Russia too much influence over the Black Sea as well.

@Noelreports.com has Defense Minister Shmyhal on video at a meeting confirming that production of the Ukrainian long-range “Flamingo” cruise missile has begun, saying details will be disclosed “when the right moment comes.” https://bsky.app/profile/noelreports.com/post/3lwoh2s4mo222

 

So Ukraine already has a stockpile of them and we'll see it in action this weekend?

As for any promise to not join NATO, that is a worthless trade off. Sure I promise not to do something until I think that I can do it without consequences. There is also a gray area of being a NATO member and being a member in spirit only. Ok, we won't be a card carrying member country but we will be a peripheral member who participates in military exercises. Of course, most likely the real agreement will be more than just a one sentence promise.

Crimea is not currently achievable by military means, but it’s important that Ukraine not formally surrender it.  Putin won’t last forever. Even if it’s a permanent Cyprus-type division it’s very important that Ukraine not surrender its formal claim to Russia and for the world to maintain baseline sanctions as long as Russia is there.

This. Returning to a world where countries can expand their territory by invading their neighbors and having that expansion recognized by the global community would be a massive step back.

Putin is playing Risk and we're playing Mother May I.

If only Putin would agree to:

1. Return the stolen children

2. Return to pre-special military operations borders

3.  100% prisoner swap

4. UKR to cease from joining NATO

5. UKR will seek European security guarantees

6. UKR will not seek compensatory payment for non-military damages (ie we will pay our own way back to reconstruction)

7. UKR will not seek to repatriate Crimea nor will UKR seek military solution; UKR will not recognize that as part of Russia
