everyone is paying dearly. Russians. Ukrainians. And to a lesser extent the rest of us since it has mucked up the economy. Great job putin, I'm sure history will remember you fondly.
So, it turns out, Turkey suffered for nothing by buying several S-400 batteries, after which the US refused to sell it its F-35 fighters. Double loss for Turkey!

They are successfully intercepting them; but the debris from the launchings cause damage to targets. Never mind the target and the interceptors overlap.
Gotta think, this is just the start of "It is raining ATACMs" to come. I predict stormy weather. Plus, every time Russia tries to shoot down an ATACMs and fails, that is another missile fired into the sky for nothing.
The genius of Ukrainian leaders is they do what they can with what they have. Their plans are long range, not just throwing ketchup at the wall under duress. They have consistently out-thought the Russian defenders when it comes to protecting or anticipating Ukrainian targeting decisions.

Yes, those tires are really good at keeping cluster munitions that fell from the sky from bouncing off the aircraft. They hold them in place for maximum damage. 😂
They control most of eastern ukraine and are pushing into northern ukraine with little to no opposition.. yes some long range attacks into crimea/Russia are cool but on the front the russians keep taking more land day by day. The more land Russia takes the less area ukraine will be able to attack. It's a strategy but it isn't a good one, they'd need to attack at the front and be taking land for the sporadic long range attacks to make a difference, which they're not doing. They're attacking bases that control the black sea not the ones that are directly attacking cities. I get that ukraine can't use atacms inside Russia but they'd be far better off using those missiles to take out artillery that's decimating their front line forces. We know that both sides are wildly exaggerating their losses but the reality is ukraine is desperately low on soldiers, Russia walked into northern ukraine and Ukrainian "border guards" ran the other way, this was brand new soldiers with 0 war experience that waltz into ukraine untested. Ffs there was a 100 man group of Russian soldiers standing in an open field that one missile could have taken out, however ukrain is shooting them into crimea to hit an airbase that is the Russian navy that only flies patrols over the black sea. Total waste of missiles. Say what you want but these small targeted hits are doing very little when then need mlrs strikes on the front lines not in crimea where they have 0 chance of ever retaking. Idk if you've looked at the Google earth imagine of that base but there was 50 jets there and they took out a whopping 3?... not exactly a massive win when God knows if any of the hit jets were actually operational. The s400 is kind of a win but I highly doubt ukraine will be flying missions that far into crimea anytime in the near future it'll be years before ukraine will be able to think of taking that land back and the reality is ukraine doesn't have years to waste where Russia does.
But if they didn't tear up the runway on day one all those planes would have been flown to safety. We can only hope day one involved the runway and air defence and day two was for other hardware and control infrastructure.
no, it doesn't... is just another medium-range ballistic missile, just like the ruZZian Iskander and the Nazi V-2...is just that the ruZZian S-400 suck...
no there were the scientists responsible for the ''Kinzal'' scam... looks like they've been feeding Vladolf ''fake news'' about ''wonder weapons'' all that time crunching funds...
Hard to see how that would work... if Storm Shadow/SCALP breaches the bunker and blows it 'open' enough for ATACMS cluster-munitions to cause damage, then it's already destroyed the target. Unless the M57 version was involved?
@@dioghaltasfoirneartach7258 AFAIK the 300km model that's been officially supplied is the M39A1 version. That also has a cluster-munition warhead, using the same type of them but significantly trading down the number/mass to achieve greater range than the 'basic' M39s.
@@jajabez8379 Yes. That was in October 2023. Since April 2024, our ATACMS M57, M48 Singular Warhead Missiles (300 km, warhead 450 kg, extremely accurate) are in Ukraine 🇺🇦
@@dioghaltasfoirneartach7258 Very nice if that's so.😀 FWIW the M57 variant being sent/delivered is news to me and it's a matter of fact that the M39A1 has the same, 300km 'officially-stated' range. Always fun that it's normal for any NATO-operated system to have its real-world performance publicly understated, while the RuZZkies have not just continued the Soviet habit of boasting to make 'under ideal/test conditions' the figures they'd always cite, but actually turned the dial up to 11... where everything is a wunderwaffen that beats anything anyone else can make.
If the bunker was the target, UA would have used Stormshadow. ATACMS isnt rly optimized for that kind of target. (Any variant) Stormshadow has the "BROACH" warhead, which is designed to defeat targets like this. And would likely only require one direct hit. It has a dual warhead. The first punches a hole with a directed charge, then the main charge detonates after penetration.
Well Ukraine did receive the larger payload ATACMS..... and it really depends on WHAT was stored in there (I would hazard a guess at fuel and ammo). We saw the damage the bridges sustained, the system can penetrate reinforced concrete with steel rebar and leave a pretty big hole in it's wake.....
@@wrayday7149 The heaviest ATACMS payload is on the shortest-range, cluster-type 'basic' M37. The M57 version uses a 'penetrating warhead' based on the USA's anti-ship Harpoon, surface-skimming missile. The Shadow Storm/SCALP 'BROACH' warhead is specifically 'bunker-busting' not due to greater weight of payload but by using a dual-charge system that has the first drill a hole into whatever it hits that the second lands in, then detonates. It is specifically designed to destroy the sort of target that could resist/survive an M57-style, single-charge hit... including tactical-nukes. Which happens to be the sort of Cold War era bunker that got built for both Ukraine and Russia to inherit from the USSR, at military/governmental sites all across their territories.
@wrayday7149 So the payload gets smaller after the first model. (Around 1,000lb) The rest are all 500lb or less.(bc GPS guidance & fuzes were added Allegedly this target was heavily fortified. ATACMS does have a delayed fuze option in the latest model, but the shell of the missile isn't very thick, so not much penetrating power. ATACMS was optimized for targets in the open or medium fortification. It's possible they used it, but it's not optimal & not as accurate as stormshadow. I'd argue bridges aren't as fortified & easier to destroy. It certainly is up for debate, bc we don't know what the target structure was like. If it's 5 feet of reinforced concrete designed to withstand explosives etc. U may blow a piece of concrete off, but without penetration u can't be certain to get the target within. That's why they made stormshados the way they did. US military almost exclusively uses aircraft munitions for these types of heavily armored fortification.
I'd be surprised if the Russians moved the aircraft. Besides having to do a massive FOD sweep of the runway they would have to inspect every remaining aircraft for damage before sending them away. If I had to hazard a guess, they are probably still there but in a more spread out parking pattern.
Not only would a follow-up strike on the missile storage bunker with ATACMS cluster rounds after a bunker-buster hit not work (only a tiny number of cluster submunitions would go through the hole) it wouldn't be necessary because the bunker would trap such a large proportion of the blast and subsequent heat from the bunker-buster's own warhead that a fire and cook-off of missile fuels (in the first instance) would be inevitable. The bunker buster might not even have been American; could have been Taurus or even Storm Shadow, as this is precisely the sort of target that Storm Shadow was designed to hit. The limited range of Storm Shadow may always have been a treaty compliance rather than a technical issue and if Ukraine did not sign the same treaty as the UK and France, they could simply have put more fuel in! _Serbian_ storage bunkers always took the form of several small bunkers, often separated by blast-absorbing soil berms, and up till now I had assumed, given the close relationship between Serbia and Russia, the Russian ones had to be equally sensible. No; ONE huge bunker the size of Solsbury Hill would seem to be the Russian pattern. The RAF did this too, *once* and they learned not to after, it is thought, someone inside the storage facility removed the fuse from a 4,000lb HC bomb with a steel tool.

The "Mig31" thumbnail used by Kanal13 looks like several Mig23/27 airframes in a scrapyard to me. The Mig23 still exists in the Russian reserve stockpile, the Mig27 (ground attack version of same) supposedly only exists in the "recycling bin fleet". Su27s and Mig31s are what has been operated from Crimean bases before, though. Indeed, a Mig31 rather famously crashed there at the start of the war. No-one would *want* to return the Mig27 to service, but it was designed to do the same sort of job as the Su25, which fleet is suffering attrition and is out of production. The Mig23 is suited to a wider variety of roles and might be less dependent on Western-sourced electronic components than the Su27 & Su35. And the Su34 fleet is dwindling too. Su27 and Mig31 are what one would _expect_ to see at Belbeck, anything else might have been put there as a decoy or the thumbnail may have been taken somewhere else entirely. I think the best thing we can do is geolocate the obvious fires and draw our conclusions from that alone, for the time being.
There are pics of divots on the runway from the first strike. Maybe the second attack was specifically because these prevented planes from taking off (and to hit the storage bunker)
If Atacms are ballistic and s400 is not ....there ya go. I'm thinking that the construction may have been made with Ukranian engineers, they prothabe all the plans!
A good selling point for Russian weapons on the international market....combat proven, high interception rate....*small print: a 100% if the system itself is used for interception:)

For these high value strategic targets the personel casualties are more a bonus than the core objective. This is about getting Russia to move all air assets out of Crimea, like they've moved practically all naval assets out of Crimea.
What's the relevance of the dead and injured? There's no way for anyone but the Russians to know that. The relevant thing is the radars, air defense systems, and airplanes taken out. Those can be seen from satellite surveillance shared by the US.

Sucho, love ypur vids. But saying that RF air defence is "as incompetent as ever" unfortunately understates the extent to which RF air defence EW has successfully gone through cycles of adaptation. For example, due to Russian EW/jamming, US-made GMRLS are not as effective as they were initially.

I think the best thing we can do is geolocate the obvious fires and draw our conclusions from that alone, for the time being.
The question was where would the planes be moved to. I understand that all military airports are in range for ATACMS and Storm Shadows.
How can these be ATACMs? Ruzzia has destroyed all of the launchers and ones that haven't been sent yet.
😂😂😂👍
ATTACMS dont dig in with cluster ammo. Only bunker busters. 2 steps charges.
Thank you good sir

Rabbit report?
Very bunny, I have a cold!
💛🔱💙 Slava Ukraina! Heroyam Slava! ❤️☠️🖤
🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦✌✌🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Tks.
Cda.
Thanks. 😍😍😍😍
As we say in France : jamais deux sans trois (never two without three). The bet for the next strike are open...
There is some really clear satellite imagery of the strikes now. Can u do a video about it :)
Sweet!
1:15 That's not how that works. That's not how any of this works.
Magic!
Dat launch tempo tho 😗👌🏻
Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Slava Ukraine!!! 🇺🇸♥️💛💙🇺🇦
That definitely looks like munitions bunkers.
👌
This war is not good publicity for Russian air defence systems, or military hardware. But I guess there’s not much inventory to sell right now anyway.
Air field might be damaged. Might not have enough pilots or gas to fly them out.
Also Storm Shadow.
👍🇺🇦🇮🇪🇺🇦
Does anyone know what has happened to the EngineerReact channel ?
Hes been hacked! Hopefully he will be back soon!
Russia´s military is an embarrassment for Russia.
Historically, it always has been.
💪✌️👍
Surely in the first wave you target the runway so any planes on base cannot be removed to safety by flying them away?
There are pics of divots on the runway from the first strike. Maybe the second attack was specifically because these prevented planes from taking off (and to hit the storage bunker)
If Atacms are ballistic and s400 is not ....there ya go. I'm thinking that the construction may have been made with Ukranian engineers, they prothabe all the plans!
Maybe S400 is only able to deal with more modern missiles ? Ukraine’s allies should send their most up to date weapons to check? 🇺🇦🇬🇧🇺🇸
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💥💥💥💥💥💥
!!!!
🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦💪
Is this a primary source of Russian sorties? It must be, right?!
I wonder if Turkey can get their money back for those RuSSian systems they bought, for not working as advertised?
They already got it when they provided all the tech spec & reverse engineered tech to its NATO allies. 😆😉🤣
🇺🇲🇺🇲🇬🇧🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇪🇪🇬🇪
A good selling point for Russian weapons on the international market....combat proven, high interception rate....*small print: a 100% if the system itself is used for interception:)
💙🇺🇦🇺🇦💛
Just about the worst footage ever. All I see is a bunch of out-of-focus dancing lights at the bottom of the screen. Could be fireflies for all I know, or a Chinese Lantern Parade in Chongqing.
Russia posted a pic of the damage last night. It showed 2 undamaged s400s in the distance
@megandonahue6832 of course. How can we doubt you?
Photos from a distance wouldn't show the damage lol
Russia claimee it stopped 10 ATACMS though
It did. Every one was stopped by a target on the ground.
Numbers of dead and injured?
For these high value strategic targets the personel casualties are more a bonus than the core objective. This is about getting Russia to move all air assets out of Crimea, like they've moved practically all naval assets out of Crimea.
What's the relevance of the dead and injured? There's no way for anyone but the Russians to know that. The relevant thing is the radars, air defense systems, and airplanes taken out. Those can be seen from satellite surveillance shared by the US.
🕺🏼
Lol Russia intercepted all missiles again.
Satellite imagery from yesterday proves that absolutely false. Publically available satellite imagery by the way.
What does he mean by "this is Russia?". Belbek is in Ukraine.
He meant "these are Russians we are talking about"...
@@thePronto Then he should have said that.
@@bertoldriesenteil1430 He speaks British-English. and more specifically a type of Northern-English English (the version that's most-heavily Viking-Danish influenced). The one with 'flat-vowels' where the speaker avoids opening their mouth more than necessary (so it's 'Bath' not 'Baah-th') and is predisposed to not using 7 words when 3 will do. Hope that helps. ☺
@@jajabez8379 I know that. But that is not relevant. That doesn't make Balbek part of Russia.
HI Suchomimus, did 2/3 Ukrainian helecopters recently get destroyed at a FARP?
Yes 2 were confirmed destroyed while refueling whole 2 dozen Russian Helicopters were fragged in return.
Russia are still the second greatest army ever..... In Ukraine.
Sucho, love ypur vids. But saying that RF air defence is "as incompetent as ever" unfortunately understates the extent to which RF air defence EW has successfully gone through cycles of adaptation. For example, due to Russian EW/jamming, US-made GMRLS are not as effective as they were initially.
where did you hear that crap. Russia has failed to intercep even one HIMARS rocket . Look no matter what russia is in big trouble , and pootler is the emporer wearing no clothes, if you even knew the story I doubt you wuld get it..
@@bruced1429 Well, def. a ruzzian troll trying a dif. approach...
really Ivan?... who gives a fart what you think?...
It's called GPS jamming and it's the reason that, for example, that the Excalibur 155mm round is not as accurate as it was during 2022. Each side is adapting and coming up with counter measures, it's the normal process of adaptation during war.
