You see the autonomous tank the US released footage of!? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
Because if Ukraine invaded and occupied Russian land, they would no longer have the backing of NATO. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
After looking back at the articles it seems you're right about the radar. The claims appear to vary between 2 and 3 launchers having been hit. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
Ukraine doesn't have to advance their land forces beyond the Russian border to hit targets on the other side of the border.
They could theoretically place their missile and artillery weapons right up against the border to fire at targets in Russian territory and they technically wouldn't be occupying any Russian land. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |

What you want is a tracked launcher that can take one missile 20-40km further ahead and still be linked with the patriot battery | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
Actually this is no longer true. Thanks to the industrial revolution, the green revolution, the scientific revolution, and the general explosive nature of human development over the last 200 or so years, we have significantly depleted most forms of easily accessible energy and mineral deposits.
Any post collapse new human society would somehow have to jump start a new industrial revolution with very little energy to do anything. The premier form of energy before we started digging up all the coal was charcoal, and we literally deforested most of Europe just for things like cooking and heating.
My completely unfounded belief is that any post collapse society would struggle to even get to Rome's metallurgy.
So, uh, maybe let's not let this society fail, yeah? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
Drones being able to fly and duck under obstacles to go into doors and around corners is the real thing. And it seemed like it would be too hard before, but they really obviate defenses even at fast speed. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |

Yea the fact that they managed it with S-200/SA-5 was fucking wild. Big slow planes is what S-200 was designed for, but still it was near the limits of the systems range | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
They do not rely on them for bonnets either.
Judy hit one remember that they only had 6 A-50’s total before the war started.
They are not and never were fit defense as you picture it. They are front line offensive combat units. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
> Also, the U.S. actually has intelligence regarding Russian capabilities and better HUMINT on actual actors and motivations within the government.
This is why I generally don't engage with the endless debate on which weapons to give or what actions the US/West should take. I agree that we *should* do as much as we can, but I'm going to leave the details up to the people with the intel and experience to make the right choice! | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
I vaguely remember Ukraine striking an air base where they were being upgraded / repaired. I recall there being chatter about the radar domes being damaged, which are the hardest part to replace and Russia really has no way to do so. They were already struggling to keep the ones they had functional. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |

Putin going completely nuts is a scary thought..
What if he figures that dropping only one or two nukes on a non-NATO country might not even trigger an all out war because no one wants to press the doomsday button over some foreign conflict. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
Someone in the Kremlin needs to have Putin slip on his tea.

The Libyans apparently tried to chuck a missile at ether a tanker or a CC aircraft years ago, (before the 2011 shit) by timing the holding pattern. They missed, but it was damn close from my understanding.
Wonder if the Ukrainians did something similar with the not Patriot missile. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
Think they were doing that cause they learned choppers were starting to notice the drones so they looked at em and said "bet." | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |

True | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
Patriot range quotes assume a maneuvering target but if you launch on the most efficient path at a target moving in a predictable path and you program it to fly at a speed maximizing range, it can out perform the quoted range, apparently significantly.
Contrast this to Russian systems where the quoted range is best case, not real world. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
NOOOO this is genuinely heartbreaking
I was going to look it up after work, thank you fellow redditor...only a true friend would tell you the news you don't want to hear :( | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
Yes but it stops there. We exploited all of the easily available resources. If we had to start over we wont have the resources to progress technology. This is our one shot. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |

almost everyone has lithium, it's quite common, and can even be filtered out of the ocean. Be wary of people peddling stories about reasons | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-10-06 |
DJ Roombas > Doombas | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
Russia has 326 ICBMs, 192 submarine ballistic missiles and only 58 strategic bombers and shorter range missiles to deliver their remaining 1200 or so nukes.
So, in reality, they only have the ability to strike the US with about 500 nukes. This is assuming that all nuke commanders all follow orders. Which, during rigorous studies, 20% or more failed to follow thru on strike orders.
ICBMs can be intercepted, and subs can be destroyed before they are able to deliver their entire payloads. Can we stop them all? Probably not, but no matter what, it won't be the end of America.
Europe would be the ones really taking the brunt of it. The short/medium range missiles can strike with a lot less warning. Plus their bombers could run successful sorties in the European theatre much easier than they could if they tried to reach the US.
Neither Russia nor China truly have the resources to ensure MAD.
It's much more likely we see nukes deployed in tactical engagements than used in an en-mass MAD strike. Still terrifying, and of course a WW3 escalation, but if WW3 is already upon us, and Russia doesn't think the West would use their nukes tactically in retaliation, then it's still a win for them.

I'm not defending my opinion. I'm just trying to help reddit understand the thinking. There will be an incredibly delicate approach to anything that could be perceived as unbalancing the nuclear balance. That is what we are seeing being played out by NATO leadership. They're trying to not get NATO nuked over a Ukrainian victory. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |

You know that shit costs fucktons of money to maintain right? Russia doesn't exactly get an A+ for military maintenance.
You don't spend 10% of what the US does maintainig it's missiles and get similar reliability results. You just don't. You know most of that 10% went into an oligarchs pocket anyway instead of proper maintenance. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
The issue is that, from Russia's perspective, it becomes less acceptable to lose the war as time goes on. Slow escalation increases sunk cost and means more of a risk of political destabilization. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
Every war innovates somehow. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
I hate that people don't understand the definition of the "world" parties. 1st world is Western Bloc countries mostly aligned with NATO. 2nd World are Eastern Bloc countries, like those aligned within the Warsaw Pact. 3rd world relates to countries who aren't part of either group.
It has nothing to do with the countries GDP, just their political elegance. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |

The Ukraine war has been the most interesting to watch them MacGyver things together. Those FPS drones have to be something pretty easy to manufacture the way they are going through them.

The moment they do, it's going to turn into a nuclear wasteland that puts fallout to shame.
Will they pop off? It's kinda inevitable, but depending on how many managed to hit, I doubt it would be irrecoverable for a long time.

It's a massive plane, can't exactly hide it if you want to fly it. You could probably find them with commercial satellite imagery. I'd start near Akhtubins, Astrakhan Oblast. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |

Russia’s war history is basically turning its own country into hell to win the war. You see it as a cue to cut loss and withdraw, they see it as a necessary tactic. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
I think with modern surveillance, spy satellites etc. it's probable that NATO (and Ukraine) knows where the remaining A-50 are. They're big planes, even if they are hidden in hangars, they have to come out to take off and fly. Then they can be tracked. But probably they're so far away from the border, it's improbable for UA to damage them.

Eh. In the US, it's an all-volunteer force, and that's something we hold in extremely high esteem.

The mobile US patriot is called several squadrons of F15EX with a full load of AMRAAMs while stealthy F35s closer to the front designate targets. Data link is a beauty. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
Skewed in what way? That one is better at converting land into per capita money than the other? Seems like more of a fact than a skew to me. Obviously Russia is going to have the lowest number on this divisor; it's like saying "people from Africa are taller on average than people in China" - a fact doesn't mean the data is presented with prejudice, it's meant to express what's happening with data. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |

I wonder what would happend, if high priority targets suddenly started to blow up around the ende of the border, and the russians had no idea how and where the came from, and how they managed to strike, without being detected. Something like casually having a handful of F22 Raptors going for a live weapons exercise, without telling anyone. Just put alot of drones in the air to have them pop up on russian radars, to help hide the already exceptionally hard to detect F22s. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |

Latest gen patriot is on a different level than a lot of those systems. Most of those are just armored vehicles - impressive ones, but in the end, something that most countries could pull off with some dedicated effort.

Your conspiracy theory is funny | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
It’s useful for NATO to know that it is possible to effectively use distributed Patriot launchers along a front line (from the same battery) to engage aerial threats. This allows force multiplication when you have insufficient numbers of air defence batteries as Ukraine is experiencing.
It’s something that is difficult to test. Having a radar at A… having the command centre far behind the front lines at B and having some launchers spaced around at C, D etc etc….. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |

It's been 80 years since D-day, so 79 years of trying to prevent another European war. So far,, so good. A minor problem in Yugoslavia, but most of Europe is so financially integrated that it would be financially painful to split apart. Cross border traffic and migration is pretty much taken for granted with minimal impediments.
The purpose of the EU was to eliminate localized parochial industries, so companies could grow to cover all of Europe without border impediments, trade barriers of legal rules and tariffs. It's gone so far it's hard to go backwards now. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-12-06 |
