ATACMS is old technology from, when? 1970's?
Would be surprising if 2020's technology was not better than half a century old technology. especially if it's designed by people who either were there to design Soviet Union's missiles or were trained by people who were. Because Ukraine is where most of Soviet rocket technology was always developed. And the Soviet rocket technology sure had many clever solutions to it!
Ja, ich habe irgendwann einige Jährchen in Deutschland gewohnt, Sprecharbeit machend. Außerdem habe ich in der Schule hier on Finnland gut zugehört :)
Das Wort "Lebensraum" wurde in 1930-er Jahren in einer Bedeutung verwendet, die es weltweit bekannt gemacht hat. Dieses Wort soll man schon kennen, egal ob man sonst Deutsch kann oder nicht.
Russian artillery is magnificently imprecise. In order to hit a specific target using Soviet-style artillery, you need about 10 times as many rounds as with western artillery.
When the goal is to obliterate a town, that doesn't matter. But when you're trying to hit a single tank, it does.
They're saying "yebat'!", which literally means "to fuck" and practically something along the lines of "fucking hell!"

It's the second time this has happened. The previous one was roughly a year ago.
Regarding Switchblades... It was also very important that within days of ZSU beginning their news, we read articles on how inefficient they actually are. That a 80 % cheaper drone does a _better_ job! They turned out to be unreliable, inaccurate and extremely expensive.
That told a lot of western military industry in general!
I cannot understand why nothing is done about this. The problem is, when they say at the Finnish border "this product is going to Kyrgyzstan", but it actually stays in the Russia, it has earlier not been Finland's problem but one of the Russia – it means that the customs fees for the Russia have not been paid and the product lands there anyway.
Now it's different but we still behave like we did in 1996 and 2003 and 2021.
Why?

The service station change Teboil, in Finland, belongs 100 % to Russian Lukoil, because all German-owned property in Finland became Soviet property when the peace agreement between Finland and Soviet Union was made in year 1944.
So, there is precedent indeed, and Moscow is known to be okay with the concept.
