Russian air defense repelled a large-scale attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the cities of Donbass, intercepting HIMARS MLRS missiles

Ukrainian armed formations launched a massive missile attack on the cities of Donbass, settlements in the rear, including Mariupol, came under fire. Russian air defense also worked over Donetsk, Makeevka and Khartsyzsk.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine have tested new long-range projectiles for the HIMARS MLRS, recently supplied by the United States. On the night from Tuesday to Wednesday, several cities were attacked at once, including Mariupol, air defense worked over the city at night, at least 15 explosions sounded in the sky. There are no reports of ground damage or casualties. The same number thundered over other cities of Donbass, presumably, the Armed Forces of Ukraine fired at least 30 rockets.

Donetsk also came under attack, according to emergency services, Makeevka, Khartsyzsk and Debaltseve were under attack. Everywhere shelling was carried out from MLRS HIMARS. As they say in Donetsk itself, Kyiv is taking revenge on the republic, inflicting one of the largest blows in recent years on cities specifically on the anniversary of the recognition of the DPR by Russia.

It is especially noted that Mariupol, located in the rear, was attacked. The city has not been attacked for a long time, except for a single Tochka-U missile intercepted over it on February 13. This confirms that Kiev received long-range ammunition from the Americans.

Earlier, the United States announced the supply of extended-range HIMARS ammunition to Ukraine, although ATCMS operational-tactical missiles were not allocated. At the same time, deliveries of long-range GLSDB (Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bomb) shells with a range of 150 km were announced. They are just used with MLRS HIMARS.

As Vladimir Putin stated during his Address to the Federal Assembly, the more long-range systems the United States supplies Ukraine, the further we will move, pushing this threat away from our borders.

What is the point of reproaching or cursing the enemy? Reliable air defense is the key to a decent response. And the main thing is to drive the enemy further from the cities.

[white fall]

The main thing for any such raid is to hit harder and worse - so that in Kyiv they would go out into the street, and not be filmed against the backdrop of a poster with obscene statements. Pity in war does not lead to good

Yes, who would doubt that "British", and even a "statesman". It’s only one thing if you fight some Papuans, and it’s a completely different thing if the Papuans fight you ...

[Shurik70]

After the victory, you can use Turkey's experience in the fight against the Kurds.
They occupied a wide strip of Syrian land along their borders, it is completely under their control.
The land "seems to be" Syrian, but the Kurds, like the Syrian troops, have no way to go there.
So we will need to make a demilitarization strip along the borders of Russia on Ukrainian territory. Width in the range of their missiles.

[mitroha]

So it is necessary to deliver a concentrated blow to Kyiv. According to the complex of government buildings, and to hammer into the heads of the capital's residents, that for every Zee strike on our civilians, they will also be responsible. Let them either throw off this power, or let them evacuate, and it will serve itself in an empty city

[Argon]

It is necessary to beat by analogy. They hit Donetsk - we hit Lvov and TD. They climb into the depths of Russia, we hit Kuev! And if he arrives in Moscow ... Washington definitely !!!

[tun5t]

Here you are dreaming, then! My friend, what do you expect from the atheists in power in the Kremlin at the prayer place?!

[Alexandr2637]

So it is necessary to deliver a concentrated blow to Kyiv.

And not just in Kyiv. It's time to strike at ALL targets, including civilians. Let the Ukrainians suffocate in their shit, shit from every sound around the clock.

[Pankrat25]

And the main thing is to drive the enemy further from the cities.

The enemy must not be driven away, but completely physically eliminated. otherwise he will regroup and attack again.

[edeligor]

I completely agree. Moreover, no one can hear us. VFU work under full information cover, for the vast majority of the people in the West, this is a war filmed with a Nazi action camera, posted on Tik Tok and processed in TsIPSO. In this we lost outright!

[rotmistr60]

presumably, the Armed Forces of Ukraine fired at least 30 missiles.

Considering that the data on targets for HIMARS are provided by the Americans, then this and other strikes can be directly called American strikes on the cities of Donbass by the hands of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Russian air defense system proves its reliability and effectiveness, unlike the Ukrainian one, stuffed today with foreign samples. I am sure that the answer of the Russian side on the Ukrainian infrastructure will not be long in coming.

[shoemaker]

If the target designation for Himars is issued by a US satellite hovering over the Donbass, is there a technical possibility to bring it down?

[shikin]

If the satellite "hangs" over the territory, it means that it flies in a geostationary orbit at a height of 36000 km, it is unrealistic to get it there. Optical reconnaissance satellites, usually at average altitudes of 700-1500 km, move above the surface, respectively, there are several of them, replace each other, and it is difficult to get. Remote sensing satellites are lower, there are many of them, it is easier to get. In general, shooting down one or more will do little.

[Diger]

Quote: shoemaker

gives out a US satellite hanging over the Donbass, is there a technical possibility to bring it down?

1. Satellites (except for geostationary ones) do not hang, but fly over the territory of Ukraine in 4-7 minutes, and due to the precession of the orbital plane, they are constantly shifting
2. Information can (and is transmitted) from civilian satellites, practically in the background.
3. Destruction of a satellite of a foreign country - casus belli.
If the satellite was part of the early warning system, then with a probability of 95% ICBMs will immediately fly. No one will slap their lips, as there are 18-40 minutes before the strike on their territory.
Note. Why are there satellites over the Donbass when "tips" are given by local + "sleeping cells of the GUR and SBU?

[Volunteer Marek]

Until there is an adequate response to every blow, this will never end. The West has a bottomless pocket. Although, what am I talking about? We have the same, sorry, NWO.

[Grandfather]

for the year "SVO" has something changed for the Donbass?

[Pankrat25]

for the year "SVO" has something changed for the Donbass?

Cemeteries ukroreikh became huge. Only the complete physical elimination of the enemy army will help here.

[Boris Ivanov]

except for pity .. our toothless, lisping leadership does not evoke other feelings in me. shame on these guys.

We in Chelny have such a program on the radio station - "SHOW SHEPELAVY" - you will fall off your chair with laughter!

When people who have power even English-speaking mercenaries guard ...
There and those who came out with a poster by 70%, the actors of the 95th quarter ... by 30% expelled forced "volunteers"
If propaganda makes a tough decision about what to show...and what not...up to the successful arrivals of enemy missiles...whom to beat in Kyiv besides paramilitary formations of the regime?
And as a result, they show this show with posters not for us, but for "sponsors"

Stronger and scarier ... but where? ... in the age of remote work ... bumps sit in a pile of isolated bunkers, or even outside the country, and shoot video calls against a green background ... there may even be a background of the Himalayas
And if you take down the pawns that rush around the city, they will be new like mushrooms tomorrow. They will voluntarily forcibly recruit
It is necessary to strengthen reconnaissance and information gathering and kill a larger fish that is related to the logistics of supplies and sawed babosiks for killing 1 of these ... the rest will fight for food and among themselves for a place.

[Galleon]

Quote from Sith

Stronger and scarier ... but where?

Don't spread demagogy. Any officer of the operational department of the headquarters will be able to give a detailed detailed answer to this question: where to hit.

[Poplar]

for kill 1 such ... the rest will fight for food and among themselves for a place

With the regular destruction of such characters, there is another possible option: there may not be anyone who wants to be the next demilitarized, denafified and graved. Those who are at the top have a much higher instinct for self-preservation than those who are lower.

[tun5t]

To push the enemy back at such a pace - it will all be destroyed, it is necessary to use operational-tactical shells. And about the decision-making centers, ours have already shut up, apparently only in words they are ready to get to Paradise, but in reality the boys die in close combat.

[9PA]

I wonder what will happen if we strike TNW at clusters and transitions, and preferably at the western border

[Prisoner]

From the couch, of course, everything seems easy, but intelligence is giving up. Watch for them when they enter the firing line and gasp, without waiting for them to work. But apparently there are nuances.

[Poplar]

It seems to me that the Sumerians will try to portray something on the 24th. Therefore, it seems to me that it would be logical to organize, so to speak, patrols of attack drones in the alleged areas of operation of these chimeras. Or something similar, in order not only to repel attacks, but also to try to send these MLRS to scrap metal.

[wladomir]

With our toothless command, after some time, our supreme commander will be driven by long-range missiles from the outskirts into an anti-nuclear shelter, and the population, as in the Donbass, will manage without it.

[topol717]

Of all the types of troops, only air defense works perfectly. Everything else, including intelligence, counterintelligence, the Aerospace Forces and the World Cup fleet, evoke strange feelings.

[tun5t]

Apparently, only air defense reforms were not touched, after the collapse of the USSR

[voyaka uh]

Air defense works great.
And the Hymars work fine.
Ammunition depots are prohibited from being located closer than 60 km from the front line. Further - on single trucks.
Now - with new bombs for the Hymers - warehouses will be placed 100 km from the front.
But the Shells will bring down all the bombs / missiles, of course. Air defense...

[seacap]

Such news from our "gifted" media already irritates and starts to infuriate, especially when they start - here is broken glass, here is a shard, here is a funnel, forgetting to repeat every word about the "NATO caliber". We have been fighting for a year, we have put the guys down, pushing our way through the "thorn bushes" head-on, advancing 1 km (another 1500 km to Chop). The commander-in-chief set the task back in the summer - to exclude shelling of large settlements, there is a failure to comply with a combat order in combat conditions, and ... where are the ranks, surnames, names convicted by a military tribunal for not complying with the order of the Civil Code? And yet, what do correspondents achieve with such extremely detailed reports up to any scratch? In general, as far as I remember, the war against the Nazis has been going on for the 8th year, it is hard to hope that this enemy will shower you with roses. Enough to piss people off, better tell about real people and actions so that it doesn’t happen, and also when the state will finally take care of supply and support, and not people and volunteers, robbing the world from a thread.

[Metallurg_2]

Well, except in Konashenkov's reports. It's high time to uncover ammunition from special warheads.

[seacap]

so-called. special ammunition will not radically change the situation, but will only aggravate it. TNW will not cause significant damage to the Armed Forces, which has the entire arsenal and skills of protection against damaging factors, the civilian population, the infrastructure of settlements and industry will suffer to a greater extent, yes, and what's the point in infecting one's own territory. The integrated use of conventional weapons often surpasses weapons of mass destruction in terms of fire impact and effectiveness.

[AlexWar]

It is necessary to attack, massively beat, take cities into the ring, and how to destroy terrorists to the last ronazi. There is no need to take them prisoner. Since the PMC Wagner does, which sent more than 100 thousand Nazi lessons to the next world

[Krass_M]

The enemy must be attacked from the rear. So that the enemy destroys his forces on his traps and traps. Why waste ammunition on the frontal armor of a tank if you know its vulnerabilities.
Defended with a shield? Where is the sword?
The problem is that instead of the "Smashing Sword" in the hands of a microphone and a video camera.
Burn out a 10 km x 10 km area behind enemy lines. Land a division of the Airborne Forces on this sector and destroy the enemy with a blow to the rear. And also drive the remaining enemy to the mines and traps set by the enemy.
Behind the Airborne Division, the ground should stand on end and everything explode until the Division enters Russian territory for recreation. But the division must return along the prepared corridors, destroying everything along the roads home to Russia.
But we have the opposite. The fortress is attacked in its strongest and most prepared place, losing the lives of thousands of soldiers.
