"Every weapon gets a countermeasure eventually." Very true. Although I haven't found the countermeasure for good leadership yet, nor an acceptable substitute.
The russians did experiment using hitmen and paratroopers, but the Ukrainian people were a countermeasure to them 😂
A dodgy curry trumps good leadership...hard to command if your ass is welded to a toilet.
Corruption is the counter to good leadership.
The counter to better leadership often comes in the form of mass numbers, doesn’t matter how good you are if the enemy has 10x more men that are equivalent.
Overwhelming numbers is historically a acceptable replacement
From what I understand, Ukraine is already firing GRAD systems simultaneously with HIMARS, which is confusing Russian Air Defense.
They just blow the whole thing up and what makes it hard is they're not used in fighting they're only used against civilians away from actual fighting Israelistan 🇺🇲 war crimes what's new.
Ukraine exhausts a lot to get publicity and cannot sustain it. Since a year or so has past, the evidence speaks for itself and everyone who slurps up BS, knows full well how wrong they were.
I'm more amazed that in 1.5 years, Russia still hasn't been able to hunt down a single launcher
who told u that ?
@@aksent769 That's not how this works chump. Bring on the evidence they destroyed one. There is none. Because they haven't. It's called a High Mobility Artillery Rocket System for a reason.
They never get within visual range (even frontline drones can't spot them in the distance). So they're never put under direct fire. They stay far enough away from the frontline, that airplanes can't get close enough to target them.
So Russia only knows there's a HIMARS around when it fires. It can fire all missiles in under 10 seconds, then be ready to move within 10 more seconds. There is simply no way to get a counter battery firing solution within 20 seconds from the first detection. AND get actual guns pointed at that target, AND fire, AND wait for the munitions to reach the target. Even if the HIMARS crew takes its leasurely time, by the time Russia fires anything at it they will be long gone.
And here I was thinking they've somehow destroyed every HiMARS we've sent 5 times over.
@@aksent769the fact that they still have not provided a single proof of destroying one. Other than a burnt out Humvee. If Russia has achieved smth, they’ll show you. If they just talk - then it’s just that, “blah blah”

A HIMARS rocket is 150k, a s300/400 rocket is more than 2 million. Even if they shoot down every HIMARS rocket they cant keep it up forever using their expensive rockets like that
Albeit the Ukrainians probably don’t have too many due to the price. But hey, if they use them well, it’s well worth it.
You sure about an s300/s400 rocket costing $2M? That seems a bit on the high side.
@@segalliongaming8925 Not if your shooting down aircrafts that cost between 20mil to 100mil+ per aircrafts.
Not to mention that S-300 and 400 are not as great as their brochure says they were. Despite the vaunted "400 kms of range" you can still see Ukr planes even helis wrecking Z's positions.
@@hardy2051 oh and, S-400 can only shoot down ICBM’s and ballistic missiles when they are 40km away lol. Which is why they are developing the S-500. Who knows what flaws it has.
They shoot less accurate rockets first to empty the air defence , and then shoot himars while air defence is reloading
A modern cheat of the wild weasel.
I love how when the first HIMARs became operational with the Ukrainis, the Russians were like "those won't affect us at all!" Then they downgraded their stance to "okay this may be concerning" then again becoming "well this is an issue"
any weapon will be an issue - but its done nothing to help Ukraine get Russia out of it's territory. In otherwords, Americans are playingball because its costing zero American lives inexchange for Russian - no, they care nothing about the Ukrainians either.
it's pretty obvious now there's a hole in Russian armament. like Ryan said in the video, every weapon gets a countermeassure, but where western countries have C-RAM/CIWS, like Phalanx, Goalkeeper or MANTIS, Russia doesn't seem to have an equivelent.
Not really, I mean being here now, it seems that the Shahed drones are a pretty cheap alternative.
@@sig5816 where the fuck do you get your outdated info? Russia has their own version of CWIS, they just don't deploy it to protect fodders.
From launch to impact, GMLRS are only in the air for about 60 seconds. The S300/400 takes 45 seconds from the time a target is ID'd to launch. That means they would have to detect the GMLRS immediately upon launch and then make the decision to counter it immediately, in order for the timeline to even work. In reality, there just isn't time to intercept.
Hitting a target that small moving that quickly with five more coming right behind it with a big SAM designed to hit larger targets probably isn't very practical anyway.
15 seconds is plenty of time for a computer though. Even if not realistic for a person.
@@cybertater5236 But they aren't set up to just automatically fire off at every target that it finds. It would be way too easy to bait them to launch all their ammo if it did that. ID'd targets still have to be approved otherwise it would be shooting at all kinds of random stuff. That 15 seconds goes by quick when deciding to shoot or not. There is also several more seconds from the time the interceptor is launched until it can reach the incoming round, which may already have impacted.
I understand the company that built the s400 claimed it could counter HIMARS when they took the money to build them. Now a lot of Russians are mad that it doesn't actually work and they got ripped off.
@Seneca Music Those SAMs are designed to be able to track and intercept small, fast moving targets like missiles and rockets. It's just that it's not worth shooting a million dollar missile at a $200k or so rocket swarm lol
@@telecomanda that depends tho, if that 200k rocket swarm is going to hit your 10 million dollar ammo cache then that 2 million dollar rocket IS actually worth launching it to prevent that cache from going up in smokes. That doesn't prevent another 200k rocket swarm from being launched at the same target tho ...
In the end this becomes a war of attrition and logistics.
Even if they figure it out, shooting down HIMARS rockets will be incredibly wasteful, those AA missiles must be significantly more complex, expensive and harder to replace.
That's what I was thinking, for all we know they can tell the difference already but it's not worth it to shoot down the HIMARS
@@HpToujoursPur It probably is due to the way they used. Also assuming the crews are up day night preparing for the attack and getting a good lock + clearance to fire is difficult as they assume nothing will happen. If they had a system like Iron dome with especially protected areas, built to counter rockets, artillery, and missile as well taking advantage of the automatic engagement system requiring only the button to fire on pre protected zones would like have stopped most rockets unless the system was over whelmed.
No. The AA rocket might be more expensive than a HiMARS missile - whose cost is in excess of $1M a projectile, anyway - but you also need to account for the value of the target. A full ammo depot, a S400 system or a radar mobile station lost to a HiMARS rocket is certainly worth more than the AA rocket.
Russia builds there tech far cheaper and better than america only america builds things expensive that breaks easy himars are a problem but it wont make a difference russia will eventually figure out how to deal with them like they have done
@@lyntoncampbell1425 "Russia builds cheaper and better" ....bruh they barely build any shit at all right now
I watched a video on "day 1 of dessert storm". The US navy launched drones from A6 intruders, and also launched BQM-74 drones that look like cruise missiles and are supposed to mimick actual aircraft to bait the Iraqi SAM sites into turning on their radars and launching. It worked. And there were other aircraft waiting with HARM missiles, which are specifically designed to target the location of radar antenna, and they did, very effectively.

@@lamarrotems I say it like Tommy Wiseau as well. Oh, HIMARS.
The raw physics are really hard too. Ballistic missiles are moving very fast and whatever you launch to intercept has to catch them. So even S300/400 systems have to be in the right place at the right time to be able to launch an intercept. If Ukraine knows roughly where the advanced air defense assets are set up, they can launch in a way that interception is difficult or impossible.
This is the advantage of ballistic missiles over slow moving cruise missiles.
Hey US government, give this man a job! He knows his stuff better than the so called experts.

Himars is how in RTS good micro can beat strong macro, even in late game
Good micro always beats good macro. Total War has proven this to me.
??? macro mostly beats micro in rts@@Deridus just like how logistics is the most important thing in rl
@@emikochan13 Small units, used tactically, have destroyed logistics or key command centers in every RTS I've ever played, from Lord of the Realms 2, Starcraft, Dawn of War, Sins of a Solar Empire, and Total War: Warhammer 1-3. Good micro has beaten good macro in every one of them more often than not.
@@DeridusAs soon as a macro advantage becomes obvious most starcraft pros concede on the spot. Micro is only relevant between players of similar macro capability.
@@leoyoman (shrug) Depends on the game, I guess. Micro doesn't exist in any meaningful way in Stellaris beyond tactical jumps and skirting the edges of systems, but even with limitations like that, I have used it to wreck other people. There is a point where, sure, no amount of micro can save you especially in mid to late game, but even so, good micro is a force multiplier in more ways than one.
Besides, the larger a holding a person has, the thinner the attention in spread. As you so rightly pointed out, at that point it comes down to overall player skills. I'm not claiming to be the best, but maybe 7 out of 10 or so because some RTS's I'm dogwater at.

Ukraine would find your skills very valuable no doubt
It's not just the cost. Their modern anti air missiles need high tech semiconductors, something Russia does not produce in high quantity or quality.
Taiwans (computer chips) and Germanys (optics for chip priduction) Sanctions make the production of these systems a lot harder.
They will either find an alternative source for computer chips, or and this is more likely, they will run out and have to revert to less sophisticated systems.
3 months later and Russia still hasn't figured it out.
But now they intercept them very efficiently. That's why Russia always wins all wars. They are very adaptable and learn quickly.
Regardless of the other person kind of being a meme.
Missile defense is by far one of the hardest and most difficult things to do.
For example Israel who is often touted as "masters" have a pretty dismal record against the lowest quality missiles you can buy that are so cheap a small business could bankroll them.
Missile defense is famously a field where people boast about how no missile will get through. The issue of course is that many will get through especially when the missiles are new and are 3 times the speed of sounds.
A good example would be the Star wars program where us generals with almost no missile defense experience in the 80s tried to act like they cracked the code to defeating ICBMs they hadn't.
The Russians definitely are some of the best when it comes to missile defense but they also are the country who's put the most money into it by far and has the most experience dealing with missile attacks.
This is mostly due to cold war experience as well as there land borders necessitating land based air defenses and hedgehog aray defenses rather than the united states who's mostly put major money into naval projectile defense.

Would fit just perfect for those CoD Quotes, when u die in playing the Story.
That's a cool peice of technology, it travel slow to look like an aircraft or rpg, then uses its gps to pin point the target direction, even changing patterns to look more like an aircraft, then it speeds up when it reaches its destination, and by the time you realize what's going on its too late, something like that will be very hard to detect, even if you reprogram an air defense system.
Aren't S400 missiles WAY more expensive than GMLRS, and also only come in packs of 4 while GMLRS are shot in packs of 6 ?
They could also use stuff like Pantsirs, BUKs, etc., which are cheaper and carry more missiles/guns.
I think the GMLRS are around $100,000 a rocket. Which makes sense considering the excalibur is $50,000.
According to Russian state media, S-400s cost $200M USD per battalion (8 launchers, 4 missiles per launcher). That’s $200M for 32 missiles or $6.25M per missile. The HIMARS costs $5.6M for the launcher and ammo.
It cost around 2 million dollar for 1 S-400 missile

Honestly they need to update their system and train people to tell the difference.
They can shoot it down. But air defense isn't always on or covering certain areas. You won't mistake GMLRS with 9M Grad missiles. They're shot at different ranges 20km vs 135km the ballistic path is very different. A small barrage of 12 rockets that Ukraine shoot could overwhelm single Pantsir with 8 SAMs.

Once they're able to reliably target, they'll probably just follow a standard SEAD pattern. Send the HIMARS in first to pull out the AA, followed by a barrage of cheaper rockets to do the damage once those are spent.
No, decoys first, himars second. Or simultaneously.
Russians already reported said tactic. UA shoots BM-27 rockets which are 220mm and comparable to 227 HIMARS, to draw the BUKs and then the GMLRS to take out the ammo depots and command centers.

Presumably the official Russian press release will report "The HIMARS rockets are all being intercepted by top secret Russian countermeasures causing over 5,000% of them to fail to land safely, instead merely crashing into the ground amidst heroic Russian forces."
They actually did manage to intercept a few successfully, which is part of the reason the HARM and other anti-radiation missle systems and conversions were quickly sent over and implemented. It turns out you can't shoot down a HIMARS if your radar around important areas gets knocked out first 😉 Plus with the threat of these anti radiation missiles, constant or frequent intermediate radar tracking just shows where juicy targets might be sitting, making them worth grabbing some nice satellite imaging of 😉👍

The beauty is that you can fire other kinds of rocket/missile into the air to minimize the chances of them getting shot down. So you can use cheaper or less useful rockets instead of having to fire more GMLRS.
I saw some screen shots of telegram channels complaining about the dead and wounded, someone sent them to me to "prove" that the US sent the cluster munition rockets for the HIMARS.

“Every weapon gets a counter measure eventually”. A good example is the never ending battle between body armor that can stop a bullet and firearms that can penetrate body armor, which before gunpowder weapons goes back to bows and crossbows and armor.
Funny enough armor is an ancient part of warfare, but for quite some time after gunpowder weapons came into use, it disappeared from the battlefield, but had definitely come back by WWI and was used to some extent by Red Army infantry during WWII, and is now standard equipment in several armies today.

It also has to do with target priority. A Russian anti-air missile costs between $1-$2 million to produce. A standard HIMARS rocket is around $150k. Do I want to spend a million dollars shooting down a rocket worth 1/10th that price? Or do I want to save my ammo to take out a 10 million dollar jet, and it’s pilot.
Why can’t Russia split bullets ? Why can’t Russia fly to a black hole? Why can’t Russia have diamonds instead of tomatoes? 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
I was wondering this since they started using them
They just blow the whole thing up and what makes it hard is they're not used in fighting they're only used against civilians away from actual fighting Israelistan 🇺🇲 war crimes what's new.
how about a video covering APKWS for 2.75 inch rockets.
Pair up HIMARS with GRAD’s. That’s diabolical, lmao.
For every HIMARS rocket, there would be a handful of GRAD rockets. Not only do you have an incredibly destructive fire mission from the combo, the enemy won’t be able to prioritize which rockets to attempt to intercept. It’s genius, really.
Russia does shoot down 220, 300 Uragan/Smerch rockets regularly which is reflected in daily reports, and shot HIMARS rockets just like any other russian MLRS. The problem is MLRS systems have big salvos (16 for Uragan) and there are higher priority targets like Tochka-U. So AA is often overloaded. That's why MLRS salvos are intercepted partially.
"Retrain" that's very bold of you to think they got trained to begin with
I shot down the missile.. Congratulations on your demotion..
Russian internal conflict at its finest, no one's willing to take risks because it'll only make you the next point man in a suicidal charge if you're wrong
Idk man, russia is too corrupt so that shit probably wont reach your COC before you flee the country
The Spy vs Spy reference was the chef's kiss!
Okay I'm going to spit my coffee out at the very last second you showed a picture of the spy versus spy as a patch. Man I haven't seen that image in forever. Thank you for the memories
"Phew, close call, I almost shot down that *CHEAP* rocket!"
*Fucking dies*
Maimed survivor's last words:
"Tell my mother....I saved one of the richest countries on the planet.. about $200k...."
*Also fucking dies*
Russia really isn't that rich. The government is doing a lot better than the people, but they don't have anywhere near the amount of funding they had in the past
@@puppieslovies that's fine. They're one of the richest countries on the planet, regardless of comparison. Regardless, irrelevant to the joke.
Insightful as heck. I liked this short a lot. Probably applies to a lot of things in life in general.
Can you please use the mirror option when editing so the text is never backwards. It drives some of us nuts and it's a simple one click.😁 Other than that I love hearing what you know and keep them coming 👍
The thing is, Russians do shot down GMLRS rockets, there are actually a lot of videos of that.
There is a catch however, and it's a big one. Russian air defense is like that blanket that's too short to cover your whole body. And Ukrainians, having a top-notch reconnaissance (They have over 40 satelites working for them now. FORTY.), are taking advantage of that "air defense blanket" being to short - they just shoot where there is no/not enough air defense.
Lol “retrain their troops”. That assuming they train in the first place. Hopefully Ukraine will shoot 300km HIMARS at Crimean bridge. They’ll likely get hundreds in the next month or so.
Cause you can’t fuk with 0844’s
Yut
Then you're gonna love this one, Devil Dog:

Last I saw they identified the launch location by radar immediately on launch and hit the entire area with saturating cannon fire. They ignore the rocket, destroy the launcher.
That spy vs spy patch is awesome
I’m sure the guy with a Ukraine flag on the monitor is gonna be objective
"Which Ukraine uses to shoot targets deep behind Russian lines"
In other words: civilian targets.
If it's a military air field, logistics, concentrated area of troops or equipment, then it's fair game.
Putin on the other hand deliberately targets civilian infrastructure for the sole purpose of bringing suffering and misery on non combatants.
The question is also "Do they want to?" obviously the answer is yes. No one wants to artillery shot at them. However, for the still budgeted rocket that often needs multiple rockets for a desired effect would an expensive surface to air be shot?
It's not really the value of the missile that matters, it's the value of what it's going to hit.
They Can and They Do shoot It down. But when salvo of 12 rockets is fired at ammo or fuel depo only one has to go through and... KABOM!
They just blow the whole thing up and what makes it hard is they're not used in fighting they're only used against civilians away from actual fighting Israelistan 🇺🇲 war crimes what's new.
Love the patch at the end.
Regardless of how expensive shit is, what I’m hearing is Russia doesn’t wanna spend the money to keep their people alive.
I love that counter measure patch
