nedekid:Did i hurt your feelings? ![]() But why on Earth would you think you know a whole lot more than the EU leaders and their structure? I doubt you were ever a school prefect even how much more being in any position to know more than world leaders do ![]() |
Drenimarcus:Russia claims donbas and Crimea are their territory now right? ![]() I guess Ukraine will shell Russia afterall ![]() |
nedekid:The alternative is getting oil from elsewhere and Saudi Arabia has already stepped in to do that and ramp supply up gradually. You actually thought EU had no back up plan? ![]()
|
nedekid:Lmao the fact that you actually think you know more than they do about their country and their back up systems is just plain laughable and stupid. ![]() |
babyboy4every1:Chai these Putin bots will say anything just to console their bleeding hearts. How can winter be here already when we are in June ![]() Are you high or retarded? Spring just got done with and here comes summer. Winter is still far away. Leave that your 4 by 4 cubicle in Ogbomoso from where you are supporting Russia and travel a bit |
whitebeard:Putin has bitten off more than he can chew. Period! |
Drenimarcus:And despite all this little dick energy from Russia, USA still went ahead to declare they are supplying Ukraine the HIMARS ![]() Real powers do not talk a lot. Russia knows the HIMARS in the hands of Ukraine would put them at a serious disadvantage hence their Lamentations |
One putin asslicker up there had to desperately comment 3 times back to back out of pain and frustration this news has brought to his heart ![]() |
Putin has clearly bitten off more than he can chew. EU is ramping up the punishment and there is no going back anymore |
Ever since this announcement was made by the Biden administration the Russians have been on a lamentation spree and this is why.... The US has two multiple launch rocket systems: M270 MLRS and M142 HIMARS Both have a crew of three, both fire the same missiles, both do not need a Fire Direction Center to compute their missions. The M142 HIMARS exists in only one version. No updates so far - this version is called M142A0. The M270 MLRS exists in three versions: • M270A0 • M270A1 • M270A2. As for the M142: more than 540 have been produced so far and the US Army and Marine inventory is around 450 systems, with approximately 335 in active units. In short: the US could donate a lot of either system to Ukraine. The main main limitation for the M142 is that it carries only one missile pod. As pods contain the same 6x missiles (either 6x M30A1, 6x M31, or 6x M31A1) this somewhat limits a artillery commander's options... unless he has two M142 loaded with different missiles. The M270A1 carries two pods and so can fire unitary warheads (M31/M31A1) and alternative warhead (M30A1) rockets in the same fire mission. The M142 systems can fire a LOT more missions per hour than russian systems. M142 reload time: 5 minutes. The Russia version has to measure and set up their firing positions, plot a fire mission with their outdated maps, sight their launchers optically, this and their slow reloading time mean that the russians can fire one volley per hour at best... The M142 needs only 1 minute to stop, set up and fire their missiles: drone spots a russian target - sends GPS coordinates to the M142 - gunner enters GPS coordinates into the UFCS - launches missiles - moves on. An M142 can fire 5-6 volleys per hour! Not only are M142 systems faster to reload, quicker to fire, and massively more accurate than russian rocket launchers - their missiles also fly further than russian missiles. Officially HIMARS missiles have a range of 70 km... That is the range the US wants the public to believe but I can tell you that this is not the true range. It travels much further. The russians are about to make painful discoveries soon regarding the HIMARS system.

Published On 1 Jun 2022 US official says weapons being sent are HIMARS, which have a longer range than those currently deployed by Ukraine. The Biden administration says it will send Ukraine a small number of high-tech, medium-range rocket systems, a critical weapon that Ukrainian leaders have been begging for as they struggle to stall Russian progress in the Donbas region. The rocket systems are part of a new $700m tranche of security assistance for Ukraine from the United States that will include helicopters, Javelin antitank weapon systems, tactical vehicles, spare parts and more, two senior administration officials said on Tuesday. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity to preview the weapons package that will be formally unveiled on Wednesday. The US decision to provide the advanced rocket systems tries to strike a balance between the desire to help Ukraine battle ferocious Russian artillery barrages while not providing arms that could allow Ukraine to hit targets deep inside Russia and trigger an escalation in the war. In a guest essay published on Tuesday evening in The New York Times, President Joe Biden confirmed that he has decided to “provide the Ukrainians with more advanced rocket systems and munitions that will enable them to more precisely strike key targets on the battlefield in Ukraine”. Biden had said on Monday that the US would not send Ukraine “rocket systems that can strike into Russia”. Any weapons system can shoot into Russia if it is close enough to the border. The aid package expected to be unveiled on Wednesday would send what the US considers medium-range rockets – they generally can travel about 70km (45 miles), the officials said. Russia accuses US of ‘pouring oil on the fire’ Russia on Wednesday sharply criticised the US decision to supply the rocket systems and munitions to Ukraine, with the Kremlin accusing the United States on Wednesday of adding “fuel to the fire”. “We believe that the US is deliberately pouring oil on the fire. The US is obviously holding the line that it will fight Russia to the last Ukrainian,” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters. Earlier Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told state news agency RIA Novosti that Moscow viewed US military aid to Ukraine “extremely negatively”. Ryabkov, when asked about the prospect of a direct confrontation between the US and Russia, said: “Any arms shipments that continue, that are on the rise, increase the risks of such a development.” He blamed Washington for escalating hostilities in Ukraine, saying: “The US does nothing in the interests of finding some kind of solution. It was precisely the same for many years before the beginning of the special military operation.” The Ukrainians have assured US officials that they will not fire rockets into Russian territory, according to the senior administration officials. One official noted that the advanced rocket systems will give Ukrainian forces greater precision in targeting Russian assets inside Ukraine. The expectation is that Ukraine could use the rockets in the eastern Donbas region, where they could both intercept Russian artillery and take out Russian positions in towns where fighting is intense, such as Severodonetsk. Severodonetsk is important to Russian efforts to capture the Donbas before more Western arms arrive to bolster Ukraine’s defence. The city, which is 145km (90 miles) south of the Russian border, is in an area that is the last pocket under Ukrainian government control in the Luhansk region of the Donbas. Biden in his New York Times essay added: “We are not encouraging or enabling Ukraine to attack beyond its borders. We do not want to prolong the war just to inflict pain on Russia.” It is the 11th package approved so far and will be the first to tap the $40bn in security and economic assistance recently passed by Congress. The rocket systems would be part of Pentagon drawdown authority, involving taking weapons from US inventory and getting them into Ukraine quickly. Ukrainian troops would also need training on the new systems, which could take at least a week or two. Officials said the plan is to send Ukraine the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, or HIMARS, which is mounted on a truck and can carry a container with six rockets. The system can launch a medium-range rocket, which is the current plan, but is also capable of firing a longer-range missile, the Army Tactical Missile System, which has a range of about 300km (190 miles) and is not part of the plan. Since the war began in February, the US and its allies have tried to walk a narrow line: send Ukraine weapons needed to fight off Russia, but stop short of providing aid that will inflame Russian President Vladimir Putin and trigger a broader conflict that could spill over into other parts of Europe. Over time, however, the US and allies have amped up the weaponry going into Ukraine, as the fight has shifted from Russia’s broader campaign to take the capital, Kyiv, and other areas, to more close-contact skirmishes for small pieces of land in the east and south. To that end, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been pleading with the West to send multiple launch rocket systems to Ukraine as soon as possible to help stop Russia’s destruction of towns in the Donbas. https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2022/6/1/us-to-send-advanced-rocket-systems-to-ukraine-biden-says Mynd44 Lalasticlala Seun

Feggie3:Those people did not curse themselves. He cursed himself unprovoked. I could say it is his usual way of currying favour through deception |
Henrolla:Nobody forced Peter Obi to say what he said. If you watched the video in the OP he (Peter Obi) cursed himself while taking that vow before a multitude of people. |
Neddstark:You mean like this divk?

Goddson:Abeg getat you doofus. Just say e shock you now that you have realized that Russia once upon a Time wanted to join NATO so badly ![]() I do not engage in phone conversations with people who would end up making me lose brain cells |
Elsueno:Yoir idiocy knows no bounds You posted a news dates 28th while I posted one dated 30th but for some reason your mentally devolved state chose the one for the 28th ![]() Meanwhile your very own TASS calls you a m0r0n. Is TASS now spreading propaganda? ![]()
|
Goddson:Mumu same Russia wanted to join NATO in 1954 and then in 2000 under Putin ![]() I guess Putin is just hurt like a babe dumped by a boyfriend she wanted to get married to so bad ![]()

Horokrox:

alsudan:Buhari a Muslim chose a pastor as his vice and the north stood by them. Same way the North would stand by PYO if he chooses a Muslim as a vice. All the North want to Know is how loyal he has been to one of their own. He has been tried and tested and passed In flying colours |
VirileNelly2420:As soon as you and he finds peace
|
Elsueno:You heard wrong and it shows how Putin dolts have mastered the art of propaganda. Catch up to the real news and stop being a m0r0n
|
Goddson:Idiocy types again ![]() |
VirileNelly2420:Mentioning Jesus while supporting Russia shows you are a f00l |
KingOfAmebo:Agreed
|
Goddson:Lay your hand on your head and say "Goddson is a fool" because that is what you are in living colour. Since you didn't know that Hungary was part of the negotiation and they gave their conditions for accepting and part of their condition was a staged withdrawal from Russian oil and also time to upgrade their refineries. Hungary also told EU that they would require millions of Euros to upgrade those refineries and EU has agreed to giving them that money. I am surprised Seun allows mental midgets such as you are to post on Nairaland

KingOfAmebo:The ode did not even read what he agreed to ![]() I will remind you to take your medicine so I agree to that too |
saintrow1:Your entire generation are bast**ds. In fact your kids would be rendered bast**ds in no distant time and that is if you even end up having any. You come here to call me a bastard due to your hatred for the west as if you would be immune from same curses. Your kids (if you have any now or in the future) would become Bast**ds |
nomenclature:You are a biggest f00l alive. So your hatred toward the west should justify what Russia is doing to Ukraine? You were clearly born into a family of award winning f00ls. Your kind are always Kings in the community of fools |
Goddson:You are a big time m0ron. If only you had read the OP you wouldn't be displaying your stupidity for everyone to see. See where you are encircling like a dolt as if the OP did not hint on the same. You be mega Ode
|
KingOfAmebo:Agreed! ![]()
|
KingOfAmebo:Your brain is actually the one filled with relaxer mixed with Akamu you this mega ode. I will keep showing you how mentally abysmal your brain is. As at 2020 98million retail customers were banking with Sberbank in Russia with 2.7 million corporate customers. That was 2020 which is 2 yrs ago. Do you see how stupid you always are KingOfStupidity. ![]()
|
KingOfAmebo:You are an insanely big Ode if you do not know that Russian soldiers are now narrowing down themselves due to their huge loses suffered in Ukraine so much so that they are now sourcing for contract military fighters ![]() Dem dey collect wotowoto. Over 30k Russian dead with close to 70k wounded. They are now so desperate that they are in the streets of St. Petersburg begging for people to sign up for contract military assignment in Ukraine. Very soon they would start begging on the streets of Moscow ![]()
