WTF dude. These are very common weapons and cost wise, Chinese equivalents are better. MRLS and howitzers are nothing new. Battle tested? You think it's gonna shoot water? Yes having some combat experience can fe nice, but most weapons go through trials and war games, it's not every day you have a war and weapons don't accumulate experience like soldiers genius. You can refine them but a howitzer is a howitzer, pretty rudimentary things and a rocket launcher is a rocket launcher. I don't understand you cheerleaders get orgasms when you hear HIMARS. Lololol. And wtf is it with glory to Ukraine. Ukraine used to be Soviet Union, their glorious time was during that time not now, a corrupt cesspool manipulated by the West.Well considering how eager russia is to post (and repost..or even move debris to another site to claim as another kill) such a thing…not that many destroyed really….
I regularly still see them being used in videos as well.
I also forgot the 18 caesars in that list. Adding up!
Cherson is going to be very interesting!
Glory to ukraine
These weapons show a great deal more accuracy, range, speed then much of Russias arsenal.
And China is not battle tested…its kind of sad to see so many chinese boast about their super-army and their super-weapons when so far they have only used it on vietnamese sailors or uyghur civilians.
Please add “on paper” to all your claims on chinese army ok?

Combat experience and especially in combined warfare matters a lot.
Also we have chinese regulated specs and controlled wargames. This is on “paper”. The real test is actual battlefield.
Back in the soviet union they were little more then a colony. Now we see the birth of a nation. Glory to ukraine

This is the most retarded thing I've read in a long time. Why would Russia attack their own POW camp with artillery? Why wouldn't they use just shoot them instead if they wanted to kill them? It makes no logical sense. By using artillery they would risk killing the Russian guards. And if they evacuated the guards that would risk a complete prison break of the POWs.
And that is not going into the incentive for killing POWs when they can be traded for your own prisoners.
The most logical explanation is that Ukraine hit the camp either intentionally or by mistake.

Simple explanation :
A Gun can fire about 2500 shells before it needs to be replaced or maintained.
If it does not , it looses range and accuracy , or in worse cases it explodes.
Ryan McBeth , calculates that the Russians are firing 25 shells a day , that gives them 99 days of firing before it reaches 2500.
Russia has been firing this artillery for about 125 days. So according to McBeth theory - those guns barrels are reaching their end , and would soon cause either serious logistic or operational problems.
There have been rumors that Russia is shooting up to 50,000 rounds of artillery per day in the Donbas region of occupied Ukraine. Other Russian apologists insist that the real number is 500,000.
You can't cheat physics. You can't cheat chemistry. You can't cheat math. Every round fired puts an artillery barrel closer to depot level maintenance / reset. This is is important to keep in mind when estimating artillery capabilities.
Russian army 2S7 howitzer after a barrel-failure.
Russian artillery batteries in Ukraine appear to be running low on ammunition as Ukrainian rockets blow up more and more supply dumps.
And that’s not the only problem Russian gunners are having as Russia’s wider war on Ukraine grinds into its fifth month. Their artillery tubes are exploding, too.
Photos that appeared online in recent days depict two Russian guns with what Mark Hertling, a retired U.S. Army general who commanded forces in Europe, described as “banana-peeled” barrels.
That is, split and bent-back after bursting mid-use. According to Hertling, the banana-peeled tubes of one towed gun and one self-propelled gun are evidence the Russians are wearing out their artillery pieces—and not repairing them.
“Here’s what happens when you don’t do maintenance,” Hertling tweeted. “You can bet there were associated casualties.”
Artillery failures are just one data point in a wider set of indications that the Russian army is worn out, and getting wearier, following months of intensive operations aimed at capturing the twin cities of Severodonetsk and Lysychansk in eastern Ukraine’s Donbas region.

Yes, the EU should've given him an adult treatment 20 year ago, and made a new 8 nation alliance to tear up his country.

'The cost of each Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS) M31 round used by HIMARS and the M270: $168,000" - Tyler Rogoway
Tyler's explanations in next posts help understanding how HiMARS help ruining the plans of the Orcs.
Bad photoshopping for the pistol towards the head!!! The Berretta 92S is disproportioned!And Your source is" American officials " seems legit country that has been at war for 224 out of 240 years since its founding and has killed millions of civilians around the the world Vietnam, North Korea,Somalia, Libya,Iraq ,Afghanistan and countless other countries and over throws foreign governments that supports the only Apartheid state in the world Israel funds biologically labs all over the world blackmails and sanctions countries that leads to hunger and poverty and America it self was built on the stolen land from the natives
This is what American forces use to do in Somalia
And yet you want us to believe the American sources
Good propaganda try
BTW, if you're showing some Shebabs who are destroying Somalia, all that they deserve is
Moreover, even if the Yankees do bad, it's not an excuse for the Russky to do even worse!
We're talking about the Russky leading an all out war of EXTERMINATION on a nation as they themselves say on their own TV and press, and even calls from their church which is led by an ex-KGB operative:
Concentration camps, reeducation, sterilisation...
We are not talking the Yankee going against some terrorist organisation linked to al-Qaeda like the Shebabs in a low intensity conflict!
We're talking about full cities of 450,000 razed.
We're talking about the yesterday's massacre of POWs by Russian forces, if fact, we're discussing daily massacres of civilians as 70% of Russian targets are civilian.
Oh, BTW, Somalia has recently declared itself in state of famine due to the blockade of Ukrainian ports by Russia...
- "The famine will start now and they will lift the sanctions and be friends with us, because they will realize that it's impossible not to be friends with us," - said Kremlin propagandist Margarita Simonyan during the Petersburg Economic Forum
But, as shown by this video-clip from a Russian embassy, Russia welcomes you:
Time to move to Russia!
(Frankly, you'd better be white, their only interest in Asians or Middle-Easters from Caucasus is to be used as cannon-fodder. Most of Asian cities are hell-holes and what the clip doesn't shows is that as soon you're out of major cities in European Russia, it's the 3rd world too and guess where they do want manpower? Not in lovely cities like Moscow, St.Petersburg or Sochi! In fact, you'd get a better life working at Lidl or Aldi in the EU than being a public works engineer in Russia.
For sure, it's better than Somalia but.. the old Blues song absolutely stands for Russia : "If you're white, that's right, if you're brown, don't get around, if you're black... Get back"... You can add "if you're low, better stay low"...

Dude stop the glory to Ukraine shit. You sound like a dmbfck cheerleader, you don't see us screaming glory to Russia shit right. The reason we are supporting Russia is because this shit was started by NATO and we are sad seeing Russia fighting their own blood brothers. It reminds us of how the West tries to fracture China. She wahhh you guy are really like those fanatical religious folks, putting on Ukrainian flags and shit. I have seen no Chinese putting up Russian flag. Crazy how ppl can be brainwashed with mainstream media. You know those Neil Hitler dumbfvks, you sound like one of those idiots.Combat experience and especially in combined warfare matters a lot.
Also we have chinese regulated specs and controlled wargames. This is on “paper”. The real test is actual battlefield.

hope you are aware that Ukrainian Buk have more range and can engage target at higher altitudeend of Russia terror bombings in sight
Ukraine wants 11x modern missile defense Iris-T made by Diehl defence.
That’s good for 11x big cities in Ukraine.
The question is how fast can the German company make them? Maybe if they can work in 3-day-shifts.
