Oh well if Ukraine says they killed half a million, then it must be true and I'm sure once Vlad gets the memo he will be on Russian TV tearfully announcing his resignation and then putting a bullet in his head with his own pistol.

Lol, who is the hypocrite? Did Israel ever extend her borders without ethnic cleansing and genocide? Did she ever ask the inhabitants by a referendum? The internationally recognized borders are those of 1948. All beyond is result of conquest, murder, rape.

I read a comment on a Youtube video which claimed the Russian radars were used to target the US ships off Yemen and in Red Sea. The US Carrier to be exact. Which is why they were targetted. I'm no radar expert but that sound ridiculous.

Over the horizon "distant early warning" RADAR systems are not of much use at sea level way the frog around the globe.

" It has a range of up to 10,000 km and is capable of simultaneously tracking 500 objects.[7][8] Its horizon range is 6000 km and vertical range is 8000 km (Due to radar horizon, this range is only applicable if target is located at altitude of several thousand kilometers"

You don't understand the difference between OTH radar and all other radar systems. OTH radar has a "look down" ability. OTH works by bouncing off the ionosphereso it must use the short wave spectrum, usually 8-12 MHz - not microwaves which pass straight through the ionosphere, unreflected.

I don't know if OTH is good enough to see a ship at sea, or if it can only see the ionized plume of a rocket motor, which has a huge radar cross-section and is easily identified by its high velocity and Doppler shifting of the return radar beam. OTH radar serves only one specific purpose: early warning, not targeting. But maybe my data is obsolete. The problem is that the ionosphere is a poor mirror. In a few seconds, it can rise or drop by tens of kilometers, which plays hell on accuracy. But maybe modern computing power can iron out those variations.

@JessDTruth

Information on RADAR was from Wikipedia, not terribly surprised if it is incorrect...

Jesterus The Catificator's avatar

There are two types of OTH radars.

1. Those using ionosphere mirrors.

2. Surface wave radars.

Weirdly enough, both of the principles were first used by radars by radars accidentally spotting a ship.

The first type has currently different uses. Russian EW radars of types which were hit, don't watch anyone's airspace. It has been said they have a hard cut-off at roughly 150km, because some countries protested about their ability to peek into their airspace.

Other OTH radars (those watching Europe) don't have such a problem, but there's too much clutter close to the ground, they're not that useful (but they can do that).

Then there is the second, surface wave OTH radar type. They were first used by the Soviets to track ships in the Sea of Japan. The downside is, they have to be close to the sea, otherwise they don't really work well (but strictly theoretically, they could work even over mountains).

Expand full comment
JessDTruth's avatar

I've never seen anything about a "hard cut off" for any radar system, other than INTERNAL signal processing which can ignore signals that take too long to come back. The ITU has no treaty which might prevent the use of radars seeing into other nations' airspace. Radar frequency bands are the same world-wide, with few minor regional differences. OTH radar was always an intruder in the HF band and didn't have authorized channels. OTH radar has to change frequencies based on ionospheric conditions. Before perestroika, the USA and the USSR both operated multiple OTH radar systems and no one made a formal complaint. They would move up and down the HF band, blotting out signals for a few minutes and then moving on to bother users on another frequency. OTH radar was - and still is - a vital part of ensuring the peace.

There is only one case where an ITU treaty block signals from one country getting into another, and that's television. TV broadcasts were always supposed to be only national.

"hard cut off" - anything that can't be switched off by the crew at anytime they like. And yes, it's most probably what you just said it is.

"ITU has no treaty" - nobody said it has. It was just a request from certain governments who felt uncomfortable with that and in the interest of friendly relations, you agree to do these kinds of gentlemen agreements.

Russia will destroy French troops & others just as easily as Ukrainian troops. Sure, they may be more skilled and kill a few more Russians, destroy a bit more equipment, and delay the inevitable by hour or days. But that's about it. They're not bringing new superlative weapon systems with them. Trenches are trenches. Russia still rules the sky, and it's troops are well trained, well supplied, and more experienced in the Ukraine theater than any foreign troops could possibly be.

Seeing members of the US Congress wave their little Ukrainian flags last month was absolutely sickening, and exposed them all. That's why they panicked when the video got out. They should have waved little white flags 2 years ago,

I'd rather say, easier. While freshly pressed meat may have worse chances, at least the more battle experience part of Ukrainian forces have a concept how it is under relentless drones, shells, and bombs, in trenches where mice and rates bite you and worms and insects slipping in your wettened uniforms, where everything stinks from blood, shit, urine, and rotting corpses. All these snowflake parade "warriors" from NATO won't survive that for longer than a couple of days. Thousands of mercs ran away already.

That was an absurd way to end an otherwise great article. I have been spending time with an elderly relative in a "memory care" facility recently. You cannot trust anything that comes out of Biden's mouth from memory due to advancing dementia. He has all the classic symptoms.

They have recently trained him to alternate between a left and right teleprompter, but it is no less obviously scripted than before.

The US won't go nuclear because it would mean the end of the MOTUs (Masters of the Universe) because they would lose everything they have. It's just an empty threat. Furthermore, NATO doesn't stand a chance against Russia because Russia doesn't stand alone. Rest assured that quietly, in the background, China is monitoring this conflict as a close ally of Russia. Russia and China's fate depends on each other as losing one country to the West would pose an existential threat to the other country. Russia may appear to fight alone but China is ready to back it up if needed. In addition, the US forces are far too split up and quite vulnerable if major conflict were to break out. The US chess pieces are scattered against concentrated forces fighting on its own turf. The NATO-backed US hegemon is cruising into a death spiral with a broken financial system, no industry, poor planning and gross incompetence. We are witnessing the early transformation of a new global order with the US peeking in from the outside. It's just a matter of time.

See the main problem is the MOTU are not made of competent types but types who are in their own bubbles of delusion and believe they control everything.

So the chance of the actually conducting nuclear first strike is not small.
