⚡The European Union on Monday frustrated Ukraine’s urgent plea for more air defence capabilities by failing to come up with concrete commitments at a meeting of foreign and defence ministers.

“We can prevent the worst-case scenarios if we act together and without fear. We need concrete and bold decisions today,” Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba told his EU counterparts via videolink.

“Now that you are all here at the table, it’s time to act, not to debate.”

Ukraine has asked for seven additional US-made Patriot air defence systems capable of shooting down Russia’s hypersonic missiles — but is keen to get any help it can.

So far only Germany has answered Kyiv’s call by saying it would send an extra Patriot system to Ukraine.

Several EU nations possess the systems, including Germany, Greece, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Spain and Sweden.

Patriots SAM shooting down hypersonic missiles when they can't even shoot down ordinary KH-101 cruise missiles is the fattest rambling of the year. cool

Nairaland will never cease to amuse me.

Let's go down a bit.
You're an individual on a faceless forum called nairaland, with the moniker Tiopii.
I can easily tell you're not the best at what you do nor studied in school in the community you're from.
That simple means you're not the most significant figure in your community, nor local government, nor state, nor in your country Nigeria. But you called a Russian project insignificant.

The same country that lunched the first space rocket into space.
The first country to put a satellite in space.
The first country to put a human in space.
The first country to put an animal in space.
The country that built the largest submarine in the world.

The country that produces the most engineers in the world.
In case you've forgotten, Russia brought about the following.
• The periodic table
• Bycicyles
• Solved the Poincare Conjecture, a major contribution to mathematics
• Created the equations that were used to calculate radar cross sections which gave birth to stealth technology.
•They invented the screw drive elevator, which helped produce the modern passenger elevator.
• Electric Rocket Motor
• LED
•Lunokhod 1- first space rover on Moon
• Radio receiver
•AC Transformer
•First Artificial Heart
Do you want me to continue?
You're not even a significant entity neither is your country to the world, but you're fast to claim a battery powered submarine is insignificant.

Mind you, Russia is the most innovative country in the world when it comes to military technology.

Battery powered submarine is not insignificant.

Knockouts. cool

Mr Kremlingrad, your habit of insulting others looks similar to that of DystopianMuse.

I did some digging and discovered you created your profile on April 18. By a "stroke of luck," April 18 was the last time DystopianMuse logged onto Nairaland.

And your first comment was on this thread, indicating you are definitely not a newbie here.

You and DystopianMuse are obviously the same person. Who have you been stealing from this time?

It's a pity All that money could only slow Russia but can't stop her. In the next 2 or 3 months they will be asking for another aid package


Ukrainian authorities said last year that the total weapons given by the EU and the US to Ukraine is more than enough to fight a war against any other nation in the world, bur not enough to wage war and come out victorious against Russia. cool

In other words, they knew Russia cannot be defeated by them and Europe put together.

But for the money, they're still in the game doing their master's bidding.

⚡Russia is producing the newest Amur E600 submarine powered by lithium-ion batteries and a small diesel generator as a backup. It has a displacement of only 600 tons and it can stay underwater for up to 17 days due to the use of lithium-ion batteries.

In comparison, the conventional diesel-electric submarine can stay underwater for about 2 days, and then simply has to surface to recharge the batteries and replace the air. As a result, it need to unmask yourself.

The new submarine can hide under water for 2-3 weeks without surfacing.

From Russia with love. cool

Who told you that it was seven generals? Do you guys ever bother to read beyond what you see on reports titles?

Israel wouldn't be able to do jackshit if Iran were to kill an IDF general outside the territory of Israel. They'd be forced to either do a symbolic retaliation like what Iran did or start a war that they'd certainly lose unless their Western lapdogs come to their aid. Ordinary Hezbollah has been penetrating their defenses for 6 months now

7 generals. grin grin grin grin This is another Igbofam Ukrainian propagandist who was publishing the death of Ukrainian killed Russian Generals every week only for them to resurface in recent times. cool

That was the price at which they sold to Russia, but their cost of production is about $20k. Iran spent less than $100m for the attack while Israel spent 5 billion Shekels

Russia never bought a single unit of Shaheed for $196k. That was a lie the guy was just cooking. Maybe he was trying to say an entire fleet of drones.

Story.

Shaheed Kamikaze drone is sold to Russia at the rate of $196k per unit.

The funny thing is Israel is even the global leader in drone technology. Only Israel controls 60% of the ME market share.

Research how Israeli drones helped Azerbiajan defeat Russian-backed Armenia last year

Russia did not back Amenia in the Nargono-Karabahk war. Get your facts right. cool

And Shaheed drone is not even up to $25k talkless of $196k per unit. Guy, stop pulling facts from thin air. cool
Foreign Affairs / Re: Sky News: Iran Successfully Hit Israel With 7 Ballistic Missiles by Appleyard(m): 2:20pm On Apr 18

Iran launched over 180 kamikaze drones, 170 ballistic missiles, and 30 cruise missiles.

Nearly $2 billion were spent to fire them.

Who told you Iranian suicide bombs cost $2,000? Iranians are selling those drones at $196k to Russia.

😂😂😂😂

Iran did not launch 170 ballistic missiles. Where did you get that from? cool

The drones are more easier to intercept considering they are slower, and flying from such a long distance with many borders to cross. So, it's a plausable argument that the drones were more of a distraction l to increase the chances of the cruise missiles and ballistic missiles, which came last in the volley. The speed at which those missiles struck their targets lend credence to the argument that Iran intentionally carried out the attack that way.

Whatever, I hope saner heads prevail.

Saudi, Jordan,America all tried to stop them into making it into the Israeli airspace and they still did.

I don't really get it for some of you guys. These are indigenously produced drone but our own PhD holders are gulping laws of thermodynamics up and down without doing anything with them.

Give it to those Persians. Not everyone can stand up to the might of USA

You're right. Many people are just looking at the damage cause per the volume of deployment without considering the significance of the attack itself.

What Iran has done is "setting a precedent" for future occurrences. The strike entails that, from henceforth, any such direct attack by the IDF on Iranian targets would be met with a counter attack, something that has not been the case in time past. There is a reason the US and other allies are pressuring Israel not to retaliate. Iran has proved that it can slice through what has been known as the most densest air defense coverage in the world.

A second strike would be more devastating than this because Israel won't have the luxury of a 12-days notice to prepare and call in their allies to support their defense.

Write off Iran to your own peril.

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 US Plan to Use Israel to Provoke War with Iran only Works if the World is Convinced the US "Tried to Stop Israel"

▪️Signed/dated US policy regarding containment of/regime change in Iran seeks to provoke a war against Iran the US must appear reluctant to wade into;

▪️There is an entire chapter in the Brookings Institution paper "Which Path to Persia?" titled, "Leave it to Bibi" (Benjamin Netanyahu) - a plan that only works if the US can convince the world it had nothing to do with Israel's attack on Iran;

▪️In reality, the US will have encouraged and enabled an Israeli attack, while having quietly prepared to intervene afterwards;

▪️Current attempts to appear to convince Israel to "deescalate" is a pillar of this policy to provoke war by proxy, not stop war;

Follow The New Atlas on Telegram: https:///brianlovethailand

Actually, I have seen this before, and it has been in the works for years now.

However, I'm confident this would not work for the time being because of the current realities on the ground.

First, the Iranian leadership has an iron grip on internal affairs in the country. Outside provocations would only rally the populace around the Ayatollahs. So, a regime change plot is dead on arrival.

Secondly, Iran is highly advanced in military capabilities, and they have proven that they're not afraid to strike when the need arises. In fact, Iran is the only non-nuclear armed country to have struck targets against three nuclear armed nations without fearing a reprisal. I'm talking about the US base in Iraq, Pakistani terrorist base in Pakistan, and recently, against Israeli bases deep in Israel. Don't you think a nation that has been so embolded in taking such steps have something HIDDEN that most people don't know about? THINK brother. I pray that this current rancour won't cause the west to wake up one day to a disappointing reality per Iran.

Thirdly, many people are not aware that Iran, China, and Russia has a trilateral information sharing agreement that has been in operation for years. I think they started it after seeing what the west led by US and NATO did to Libya. Thus, it would be difficult for any US/Mossad war plot against Iran to go completely clear under the radar.

Another myopic assumption the paper seemed to issinuate is that Israel could be overwhelmingly successful in an attack on Iran, and that the US would be exonerated in the entire region. This is a delusional fallacy.

A direct attack on Iran from Israel would be greeted with instantanious reprisals from Iran and it's numerous proxies, and is going to be 100x more deadlier than what we just saw. Moreover, all US bases and assets in the region would come under massive attacks. In fact, no amount of US covert or overt intervention would prevent Israel from suffering massive destruction if push comes to real wider shoves.

Israel is very vulnerable in that region than a whole lot of people think. A wider war now would drag in players like Egypt and Algeria that are currently seating on the fence. Not to mention the likes of China and Russia under the auspices of the SCO and strategic partnership. This, to me, are too huge a risk that the current US government would even dare to comprehend let alone venture into.

Besides, the economic collapse that would follow such a war would be too unimaginable as such that no amount of money printing can make the Yankees to survive it. In fact, the collective west has a whole lot to lose than what Iran and his proxies stand to lose.

And with elections close by, it would be foolish for the Biden administration to enter a major war with possible massive US casualties.

The current sabber-rattling from the Israel war cabinet right now is purely out of frustration and pressure. Netanyahu is under immense pressure to deliver results. In a matter of weeks he promised to get Hamas eliminated, six months after, he is still there with no concrete results to show for it, except for levelled civilian infrastructures and thousands of dead women and children. Hamas is still firing missiles from Gaza. He knew what he was doing when he targeted that Iranian consulate. He was trying to divert attention from his seemingly failures in the war with Hamas, and he got his wish. But now, if he doesn't play smart, he may end up in a even bigger mess than he envisaged.

This is how the UK newspaper Express reports on the flood.

Another fine example of British reporting on absolutely anything to do with Russia.

If you actually read the article, under 1000 homes are flooded.

But Russia is "on the brink of collapse".

If they report on flooding like this, just imagine the quality of the reporting on the war...
