Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

This was inevitable given the economics of cheap missile vs expensive anti-missile missile, especially if/when it takes multiple interceptors to take down one incoming missile. Bespoke wunderweapons are more or less fine and good if you get to use them in limited or relatively controlled circumstances (ex defending against smaller barrages from Gaza/Lebanon) but the second they're faced with significant opposition from a peer enemy then you find out why quantity has a quality all of it's own
It's kind of insane that every hardkill system designed so far fails at either "what if you just throw a bit of rubbish at it first" or "what if there's more than one missile"
That´s the missile warfare equivalent of a meat wave attack: throw in more bodies than the enemy has bullets. Russian style.
That was CIA/Ukraine propaganda
It's what Ukraine was doing. Russia has like 1 death to every 10 of Ukraine's
Nazi Propaganda, in fact. "Asiatic Hordes" overcoming "Brave German Super Soldiers"
