Some Clarifications Re: Mi-28NE ...

... and shoot and forget weapon systems. Here is a demonstration  of an extremely low signal-to-noise ratio in Western media sphere when it comes to Russian technology. For some reason this video popped up for me today. I don't know why, because I am more interested in music and old sci-fi flicks from 1950s and 60s. But here it is. 

I was stunned with "technical" minutiae of this narration with a pathetic attempt to compare non-existent features of US helicopters, such as ... and you guessed it--"stealth" (if AH-64 Apache is "stealth" then I am Mickey Mouse) and combat record which is simply incomparable. But then, of course, they also say that the cockpit is ... analogue. And the cherry on the top is that US helicopters use "shoot-and-forget" weapons while Russians use Ataka ... only? 

Well, let's take a look at Mi-28NE cockpit, OK?

If multi-function LCDs are analogue, then ... yeah--I am Mickey Mouse. What many still do not understand is that some analogous instruments such as artificial horizon, RPMs and fuel gauge are DOUBLE-redundancy for the machine which can take the punishment which would pulverize any US helicopter. But then there is another pile of bovine excrement. Here are some photos of Mi-28s shooting not Ataka but "shoot-and-forget" Izdelie-305 LMUR in combat.

 Here is how this nasty missile looks like when carried by Mi-28s. 

And for those who haven't heard about this ground-attack missile, well--here it is. No, not from WiKi where the range of this missile is posted as ... 14 kilometers. Nope, actually depending on the profile it is 25 kilometers. 

But even here they continue to use wrong data--it is not 14, it is 25 kilometer range. But why they continue to use this "data", the explanation is simple--main AH-64 Apache's weapon AGM-114 Hellfire has a range of around 11-12 kilometers, the Maverick has a range of up to 22 kilometers. The newest AIM-179 JAGM has a range of 8 kilometers or so. This cannot stand, of course, because as we all know, the US procures bestest of the bestests. And do not even mention a family of Russian guided missiles Hermes with ranges, depending on guidance, up to ... 100 kilometers. But yes, Russians are still using monkey wrenches, hammers and steam to power their equipment. Butthurt and coping are strong ... 

But here is a bit of actual combat use (it is tested now) of a swarm of Supercam loitering munitions capable of operating in groups of up to 10, searching, detecting, classifying and attacking a variety of targets completely on their own. 

If operator needs to interfere--satellite comms are at their disposal, or any other comm network if needed, including those pesky retranslators. Here is how Russian control rooms look like:

And I love art deco. I really do). 

System Breakdown.

 Larry had excellent discussion. 

Servant Disobeys His Master.

 No, really))

Trump shocked Netanyahu with post declaring Lebanon strikes "prohibited". Israel asked the White House for clarifications about President Trump's post that Israel was "prohibited" from conducting airstrikes in Lebanon, a U.S. source and another source familiar tell Axios.

Attitude adjustment is coming, how dare a slave to disobey his master. It may sound far-fetched but I can only reiterate--the US doesn't have POTUS, it has a subservient unhinged hack, it doesn't have US Congress--it has Knesset 2.0. This is what the United States has become. But after seeing how US Navy feeds own guys--the whole God Damn thing is utterly broken, because even in the Soviet Navy in long deployments you have been always provided with 1st (Pervoe) dish--soup, 2nd (Vtoroe)--meat-fish dish with potatoes or rice, or buckwheat, 3rd (Tretie)--some compote or juice, and always a lot of bread. What is shown is a disgrace. One tortilla? Are you fucking kidding me? 

Baltics, Finland, Germany ...

 ... likely the order of how it will be done if Europe will not get the message. It will die anyway, it is just the matter of how it will go down. Russia can accelerate the process greatly, if you know what I mean. The plan is there and initial targets have been selected ... for warmup. 

Re: Germany. As a whole it is an existential enemy of Russia and Russian people. Per UK--it will completely degenerate on its own.  

There Is Nothing To Figure, George.

That's UK and its and European "values". 

Everything which was the best about Europe is going to be erased. The land will be taken from indigenous Europeans (look at France), while Euro men will be sent to die. But, luckily, it is going to be really fast. Time to call London what it is--Londonistan and admit that the English peoples lost their country. 

Some Indicators.

Of what Russian military and politicians state now constantly--severe shortages of personnel for VSU and increased use of women in combat roles. Here is one of those women meeting her end. 

Moreover, the kidnappings by TZK of unfortunate sods in 404 for VSU become more sophisticated, but victims also are becoming smarter. 

Praise the Lord! He got the guy healed--it's a miracle. This is also the future of Europe where they will be rounding European cattle to throw them against Russian firepower, until Russians get tired from this freak show and wipe out most of Europe capitals together with their political class. Berlin, London and Paris should worry, and they do, while trying to put a brave face on. Processes beyond their reach and control are taking place. Sergei Shoigu's today's statement re: Baltic statelets and Finland explains a lot--these are the first targets for demonstration. 

This Is For ...

 ... those hysterical creatures infesting this blog who constantly suggest for Russia to get some balls, and to strike ... whatever et al. All systems, including national security and international operatew on bases "input-mechanism-output (effect)". Output could also be a reaction. Here are examples of first reactions. 

Many people still cannot wrap their brains around single fact, which has to be brought up constantly--it is normal for "advisers to Putin or Gerasimov", because obviously they constantly browse blogs where people provide "professional" advice on how to fight the largest war since WW II in Europe, so I remind those numbers again: 

To those who still cannot grasp the scale of a destruction and catastrophe for the West, I can only feel sorry for your lack of basic counting skills and numerical dyslexia, and you failing basic math in school. So, here are some UK politicians: 

EUROPE NOW IN THE FIRING LINE — RUSSIA ISSUES DIRECT WARNING Russia has escalated — and Europe is now being named. Defense factories across the EU are being reclassified. “Potential targets.” That’s the warning. Facilities producing drones and weapons for Ukraine are now being framed as part of the battlefield. EU nations described as a “rear base” for the war effort. Which means — in Moscow’s view —location no longer protects them. This is a shift. From proxy war… to direct strategic pressure on Europe itself.

If it comes down to it--first to go will be targets in Baltic states and Finland. Russia will see and study effects. I also want to stress--if you cannot grasp subtleties and operational-strategic mechanisms at play in all that, I cannot help. I already do my best, evidently not good enough.
