Missiles russes en mouvement

De nombreux camions transporteurs-érecteurs-lanceurs de missiles balistiques intercontinentaux (ICBM) russes sont sortis de stockage et sillonnent des routes secondaires dans toute la Russie.
Aucun exercice militaire n’a été annoncé qui pourrait expliquer ces mouvements de missiles, en cours au moment de la publication de cet article.

Après l'attaque de l’Ukraine le 11 décembre contre un aérodrome militaire à Taganrog, les Russes ont lancé au moins 93 missiles et plus de 200 drones dans la nuit d’hier, 12 décembre, contre de nombreuses cibles à l’intérieur de l’Ukraine.
Ces mouvements d’ICBM laissent entrevoir quelque chose de bien plus vaste : un éventuel lancement contre l’OTAN elle-même. Quand ils ont dit pouvoir «riposter», les russes ont clairement indiqué qu’ils se sentaient en droit de frapper les bases occidentales à l’intérieur des pays de l’OTAN.

Times are changing. Let's see what will come next.

Lulled in by neoconservative talk of western supremacy and presumed Russian inabilities the Europeans were eager to connect their fate to a proxy war against Russia. Having been defeated in the fight for the commodities of the Donbas region they have pushed for extending the reach of their weapons into Russia.

The results are now in. Europe is defenseless against new Russian weapons which can reach every political and industrial center of Europe with devastating power and with just minutes of notice.

Luckily there is still time to change course.

While announcing the new capabilities, the Russian president also made an offer (video) to limit their deployment:

Ukraine has around 50 ATACMS missiles — The Times

This morning, #Ukraine used 6 #missiles to attack deep within #Russia. 5 missiles got destroyed. One damaged and fell down.44 missiles left, not much damage in Russia, but what consequences will it have for those responsible for that attack?

Does it mean that now the helper of Ukraine are equally responsible for that attack?
Are countries like #Germany, #Sweden, #Finland, #Estonia, #Romania, and others are now vulnerable to retaliatory measures?

Unconfirmed: ziran is preparing it's most advanced missiles with ability to carry up to 80 bombs or up to 1500kg payload to retaliate against Israeli assassination of Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran.

The head of IRGC missile division said in an interview that "our April response was to sho that we CAN attack israel" but the incoming attacks will be to destroy and " teach a lesson", even if it means an all out war with Israel and their supporters, no matter who they are".

Bident, with his puppets in Jordan and Saudi Arabia have already said they will not allow their airspace to be used to attack Israel, despite the fact they have absolutely no problem allowing Israeli, American and British war planes use them to bomb Syria, Iraq and Yemen.

This is a major escalation with unpredictable consequences.

Sadly Biden os hell bent to support and protect genocidal maniac Netanyahu and his war criminal army at all cost, so does UK, Jordan and other puppet regimes in the region.

#Hezbollah successful attacked, damaged one of israelis most advanced radar sustem of the air defense installation at #Nimra #military base on northern #Israel

This is the biggest strategic blow to Israeli air defense and the military as none of the drones/missiles that hit the multi million dollar surveillance system were detected or intercepted by Iron dome or Arrow air defense systems.

This is the 3rd strategic site that Hezbollah have managed to damage in the past few months.

The extent of the damage is unknown but the iron dome in northern Israel seems to be completely out of service.

Israeli media accidentally shared an image of the Meron military airbase after previous attack, before they removed the image from their site (of was downloaded and shared by many people online)..

US awards $4.5 billion contract to produce Patriot air defense missiles

U.S. Army has signed a $4.5 billion contract with Lockheed Martin on June 28 to produce 870 Patriot Advanced Capability-3 Missile Segment Enhancement (PAC-3 MSE) missiles

This multiyear contract award for the PAC-3 MSE missile follows through on the army's commitment to stabilize and expand our production capability for this critical weapon system, which is vital to supporting the US Army and Joint Force, along with Ukraine and other allies around the world," said Douglas Bush, the army's assistant secretary for Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology

US Has Spent $1B on Houthi Attacks But Militants’ Arsenal Unfazed: Intel

🔶️ American warships have spent a great deal of munitions to intercept Houthi drones and missiles targeting ships in retaliation for Israel’s war(Genocide ) in #Gaza.

🔶️ “Houthi stockpiles appear nowhere near exhausted, even as sporadic #US and #UK strikes against them continue,” said Behnam Ben Taleblu of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies think tank.

🔶️ The assessment is contrary to a previous statement by US #AirForces Central Commander Lt. Gen. Alexus Grynkewich, who said the Iran-backed rebels appeared to be running low on drones and anti-ship #ballistic #missiles.

🔶️ Earlier this year, #Pentagon undersecretary for acquisition William LaPlante hinted that the cost of countering Houthi attacks in the Red Sea was increasing.

🔶️ He said at a defense conference that efforts to take out hostile #drones exceed $100,000 per shot.

🔶️ Even the #Yemeni group had mocked its American adversary, saying #Washington is launching $2 million defense missiles to stop $2,000 Houthi drones.

🔶️ Because of this, the US #military is being urged to find alternative counter-attack solutions that only cost tens of thousands of dollars per shot.

What are France’s Mirage 2000-5 jets, and how can Ukraine use them?

A retired Ukrainian military officer and defense expert, told the Kyiv Independent that Ukraine could use the aircraft to target Russian positions with Storm Shadow or SCALP missiles.

#Mirage 2000-5s can deploy anti-ship Exocet missiles and AS 37 anti-radar projectiles, Kevliuk added. The jets can also conduct strikes using long-range bombs, such as the AASM Hammer, and incorporate advanced precision-guided munitions like JDAM-ER and SDB, which offer increasing targeting accuracy and flexibility.

Ukraine has already used JDAM-ER bombs to strike Russian targets, thanks to U.S. supplies. Washington is also planning to supply Kyiv with seekers, advanced targeting systems integrated into the JDAM-ER munitions, to help destroy Russian electronic warfare systems, which have proven effective against Western weaponry.

Russia destroyed Kyiv Oblast power plant after Ukraine ran out of air defense missiles

#Trypillia TPP was completely destroyed in a Russian strike on Ukrainian energy infrastructure on April 11, leading to the 100% loss of #Centrenergo's generating capacity.

Russia launched 11 missiles in the direction of the plant, according to Zelensky. Ukraine was able to shoot down the first seven, and four "destroyed Trypillia."

"Why? Because there were zero #missiles. We ran out of all the missiles that protected the Trypillia TPP,"

Warsaw to ‘demand explanations’ from Moscow after Russian missile entered Polish airspace

Poland will demand explanations from Moscow after a Russian missile violated the Polish airspace during the mass attack against Ukraine on the morning of March 24, the Polish Foreign Ministry said.

Polish Foreign Ministry’s spokesperson Pawel Wronski called on Russia to stop its “terrorist air attacks on the people and territory of Ukraine, to end the war and address the country's internal problems.”

Ukraine’s Air Forces said the Russian forces fired 29 cruise missiles and 28 Shahed loitering munitions, targeting eight regions in the west, center, north, and south of Ukraine. Of the total air targets fired across Ukraine, 18 cruise missiles and 25 Shahed drones were intercepted by the air defense, according to the report.

The majority of Germany's ruling coalition in the European Parliament has backed the transfer of #Taurus #missiles to Kiev

A total of 451 MEPs voted in favour of the resolution to send the missiles, 46 voted against and 49 abstained, Bild reported. On 14 March, the Bundestag did not support the delivery of missiles to the AFU, the publication notes.

Scholz continues to oppose the delivery of Taurus missiles to Ukraine. As a result, Berlin has been accused of "failing to live up to the expectations of its allies through excessive fearfulness and a loss of strategic vision," The Times reported earlier.

North Korean missiles used by Russia against Ukraine contain US, European components

#NorthKorean ballistic #missiles fired into Ukraine by the Russian military last month contained hundreds of components produced by companies in the U.S. and Europe, the Conflict Armament Research (CAR) organization announced in its February report.

CAR, an organization based in the U.K., studied missile remnants recovered from a Russian attack on the city of Kharkiv back in January. Not only did many of the recovered components display brands of companies based primarily in the U.S., but a large number of them were produced within the last three years.

Investigators determined that the North Korean ballistic missile included more than 290 non-domestic electronic components.
