Most common video shows 3 large explosions, and the recorder was already looking at the area and it's already on fire which says there was an additional blast of some kind, suggesting more than 3 missile hits minimum.

It doesn't make tactical sense. These oil rigs are fixed targets and their locations are well known and extremely vulnerable/indefensible. If the Ukarinans can launch any attack from there the Russians will for sure have taken the rigs out soon after it. The fact that Russians didn't do it meant these oil rigs were not a part of the war yet.

The chat about the mighty F=111 Ardvark (Pig is Australia, the last operator of the type 2010) peaked my interest.

This is why layered air defence is crucial. System like S400 are long range systems, and they should have been only one component of a layered air defence system. The sites themselves should have been protected by medium range SAMs, short range SAMs as well as land based CIWS's. Just have long range SAMs alone will leave holes that can be exploited by the enemy.

You should do a the F-111 strike on Libya and the maneuver kill of the EF-111 on the first night of desert storm

you guys could do the Libya raid from the 80's when Reagan sent the F-111's in to say hello

Finally, you model an SU-24 with Storm Shadows!!!!! "Doh! I used my flares up!" - Cap ... 🤣🤣🤣 I believe they used the Australian pattern drones with the low reflectivity construction. The Ukrainians have reverse engineered the simplistic iranian/russian Shaheeds, so your sim was plausible.

Since the news came out I was wondering if y'all would try it out. Delivery much appreciated. The UA should hire GR to run sims for potential ops :)

Go Simba!!!

Ukraine could have used the beaver drone cuz they been using that a lot lately for long distance. Also the Storm Shadow was used on the ships

Could a Tanker refuel below radar?

Fly an F-111 just to eject.

I thought that radar was very sensitive, effectively offering only replacement when damaged. I suppose it's quality relative, but fine detail and fast scan is very complicated and very expensive on material makeup and shaping. I would suppose that there is a replacement available, for a time. A system that runs 1.2 Billion , in Russia, is not likely to be a 2 day replacement often.

Wonder why when they were attacked why the ships radars and weapons weren't activated as well. You would think that would overwhelm anything. There were plenty of ships there.

How does the Zircon missile work?

It doesn't. Zircon has not yet been test fired.

“Flot” is russian for “fleet”.

farmer with shotgun? you mean Raditz

I still question max skill for Ivan. Not so much skill displayed thus far at ANY level…

The reality is Ukraine only shot 4 Storm Shadows, not 10: that was just the Russians trying to make it appear their Air Defences worked somewhat - there is 0 chance Ukraine would have put up 5 Su-24s at the same time. But with at least 3 getting through, not a bad effort!

Isn't setting off flares just giving enemy more possibility of detectong heat signatures? Just sayin

Sub was hit two times.

Its going to take more than that for Ukraine to win this conflict.

History will be the ultimate judge.

There is like 80+ factories in Ukraine making attack drones and surveillance drones

Btw the darkstar at Mach 12 in knots is 8000kts btw

Not at 110,000ft feet it's not. Mach is relative to air pressure.

It's 8000kts true ground speed which is what you use right?

Looked like the grass around those Neptune launchers caught fire. Would have been cool if it caused them to blow up. REALISTIC!!
