Nee. Mijn argument dat Rusland geen burgerdoelen 'target' is dat ze wel iets beters aan te vallen hebben, iets dat militair nut heeft.
Rusland doet dat wel. Zoals ze dat ook deden in Syrië.quote:

Nee. Zonde van de raketten. Zoals ik al zei: het heeft niks met moraal te maken. Maar je gaat geen schaarse middelen inzetten tegen doelen die militair geen nut hebben.
Het heeft geen militair nut. Maar dat is ook niet het doel van de Russen. Het doel is angst en terreur zaaien onder de Oekrainse bevolking. En daar is het gooien van bommen op ziekenhuizen en andere burgerdoelen erg nuttig voor.quote:Op dinsdag 10 september 2024 16:37 schreef LXIV het volgende:

Dat is niet hoe Rusland oorlog voert. Een deel van hoe Rusland oorlog voert is terrorisme, het angst aanjagen van de bevolking zodat zij zich tegen de overheid keren om de oorlog zo snel mogelijk te stoppen. Het raken van ziekenhuizen, scholen en energie centrales vallen prima in dat plaatje.quote:Op dinsdag 10 september 2024 16:37 schreef LXIV het volgende:

Niemand mikt raketten op ziekenhuizen, kinderdagverblijven of woonappartementen. Oekraine niet en Rusland ook niet. Nog los van de moraal zijn die raketten veel te schaars om op een doel te mikken dat geen enkel militair voordeel biedt.
nu inderdaad, het gaat nu erom zelfs woonblokken te raken Lviv en burgerdoelen aan te vallen, een hele dikke bom midden in het stadjequote:Op dinsdag 10 september 2024 16:49 schreef Delenlill het volgende:

quote:'Right to self-defense'. Netherlands allows Ukraine to use its weapons deep inside Russian territory
The Minister of Defense of the Netherlands, Ruben Brekelmans, said that "the right to self-defense does not end at a distance of 100 kilometers from the border."
Dutch Defense Minister Ruben Brekelmans has stated that Ukraine can strike military targets deep inside Russia using Dutch weapons, according to a report by Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.
"Ukraine has the right to self-defense. And if the country is attacked from border regions or from Russian airfields, then it can target military objects. The same applies to enemy missiles—they can also be intercepted by our weapons over Russia," Brekelmans said.
The minister noted that "international law has no distance limitations" and that "the right to self-defense does not end at a distance of 100 kilometers from the border." Therefore, Ukraine has no restrictions on the range of its operations, he stressed.
The Dutch defense chief clarified that the permission to strike Russian territory also applies to the F-16 fighter jets that the Netherlands will transfer to Ukraine.
Brekelmans called on other Western states to lift any restrictions on the use of weapons they supply to Ukraine.
Previously, the Netherlands had stated that it does not restrict Ukraine's use of F-16 fighter jets.
Additionally, by the end of the summer, Ukraine was expected to receive a batch of Leopard 2A4 tanks, which were purchased by Denmark and the Netherlands.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces will also receive a batch of Viking all-terrain vehicles from the Netherlands.

The spokesman of Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Heorhii Tykhyi, said that the latest statement by the Prime Minister of Slovakia, Robert Fico [claiming Nazis are fighting in Ukraine] about the Ukrainian military contradicts the "level of trust and cooperation" between the two states.
“Ukrainian soldiers are defending their families, homes, and country, as well as the entire Europe and the free world, from Russian invaders marked with the letter "Z" - a symbol of modern Russia's fascist aesthetics. Countering Russian aggression, for Ukrainians, adds to the nation's history of resistance against totalitarian regimes over the last century,” Tykhyi wrote in a press release on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website.
Tykhyi emphasized that Ukraine suffered massive losses because of the Nazis.
“In the twentieth century, the Ukrainian people suffered millions of losses in the fight against Nazism,” said Ukraine’s spokesperson. “Another tragic chapter in our country's history is the Holocaust, when the Nazis committed horrific atrocities against Ukraine's Jewish communities, killing approximately one and a half million Jews.”
He also confirmed Kyiv's readiness for further constructive dialogue, "in line with the traditionally warm and good-neighborly relations between the Slovak and Ukrainian peoples."
On Monday, September 9, PM Fico stated that there are military personnel in Ukraine allegedly connected to Nazi and fascist movements, but the international community does not react to it.
“The international community must recognize that troops who use Nazi names, who often behave like Nazis, cannot fight in Ukraine," he added, without specifying who he meant.
Dat heeft hem 2 1/2 jaar gekost om dat in te zien lol.quote:President of UN General Assembly: We cannot force Russia to comply with international law
"The UN continues to hope and expect that Russia will fulfill its obligations," said President Dennis Francis
The United Nations lacks the tools and authority to compel Russia to comply with international law, according to a statement made by UN General Assembly President Dennis Francis at a press conference in New York.
"We act according to our values and beliefs, hoping that all member states of the United Nations will fulfill their obligations, including respect for the territorial integrity of other states," Francis said.
He noted that the UN continues to hope and expect that Russia will fulfill its obligations. However, the head of the General Assembly expressed doubts about whether the organization has sufficient means and authority to enforce Russia's compliance with the UN Charter and international law.
Francis also pointed out that each country makes its own decisions and expressed hope for the earliest possible end to the conflict.
He emphasized that the General Assembly has adopted "a number of decisive resolutions" calling on Russia to comply with the law and immediately withdraw its troops from Ukraine.
"I personally added the word 'immediately' to the resolution. This aggression by Russia is a gross violation of international law, and we cannot tolerate it," Francis stressed.
On April 3, 2024, the spokesperson for the UN Secretary-General, Stéphane Dujarric, condemned the attack by Ukrainian drones on targets within Russian territory.

And yes, as you can imagine, many Ukrainian Bayraktar TB2 drones were simply shot down. This is not some kind of military secret. The TB2 is an unmanned aircraft that is easily detectable by both radar and infrared sensors. The TB2 can be shot down fairly easily, just like other winged drones. Just as Ukrainians are destroying Russian drones, Russians are destroying Ukrainian drones. Ukraine doesn’t have as many Bayraktar TB2 drones as it used to, but that’s not the only reason why we don’t see them anymore.
Kyrylo Budanov, head of Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate, recently explained that TB2 drones are still in use. Ukraine still has them. But now, due to the strengthening of Russian air defences, TB2s are more often used for reconnaissance and adjusting artillery fire. In those old spectacular videos, the TB2 was seen attacking columns of Russian armoured vehicles while flying directly above them. This is impossible now. The drone would simply be shot down by a Pantsir, Tor, or some other missile as soon as it appeared above the Russian assets.

quote:U.S. Factories to Produce Russian-Designed R-27 and S-300 Missiles for Ukraine
Ukraine's stockpile of R-27 missiles is running low due
Despite receiving modern F-16 fighter jets, Ukraine continues to rely heavily on Soviet-designed aircraft like the MiG-29 and Su-27, which form the backbone of its air force.
Vital for Air Defense
To help Ukraine maintain its defense capabilities, Western nations have stepped in to assist with the production of crucial Soviet-era missiles, specifically the R-27 air-to-air missiles and S-300 air defense system missiles, according to WP.
U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin confirmed that companies in Europe and the United States are working to produce new versions of the R-27 missile, which was originally designed in the 1970s.
These missiles are vital for Ukraine’s air defense as they are used not only in air-to-air combat but also for intercepting cruise missiles and drones.
With Ukraine's stockpile of R-27 missiles running low due to the prolonged war, this collaboration with the West ensures that Ukraine’s air force can continue to operate effectively.
Supply Nearly Depleted
Rather than integrating Western missiles into Soviet-era jets, experts found that producing updated versions of the R-27 would be a more efficient solution. These new missiles, enhanced with modern technology, will be fully compatible with Ukraine’s aging fleet, providing an essential lifeline in the fight against Russian forces.
In addition to the R-27, efforts are also underway to produce missiles for Ukraine’s S-300 air defense system.
The S-300, another Soviet-era weapon, remains one of Ukraine’s most important tools for defending against aerial threats. However, after more than two years of intense fighting, Ukraine’s supply of S-300 missiles is also nearing depletion.
Western factories will soon begin producing these missiles, potentially with upgrades that could improve their effectiveness.

Als je maar genoeg drones de lucht in schiet heb je altijd prijs lijkt het wel. Dit wordt wss de nieuwe manier van oorlogvoeren, effectief goedkoop en je kan ze en mass produceren. Zelfs een Droneshield kan verzadigd raken, zoals we bij Israel weleens zien.
Als een derde wereld land als Iran al massaal zulke drones kan produceren (die toch wel veel schade aanrichten). dan ben ik erg benieuwd naar hoever de Chinezen zijn op dit gebied.
