The Russia/Ukraine War Thread


Sharpshooter

Recommended Posts

THIS is interesting:

 

The U.S. used their F-35s to locate and identify surface-to-air missile sites of Russian units in Ukraine, and this information was shared with NATO countries, Singapore Defense Minister Ng Eng Hen reveals.

This is perhaps thanks to F-35's AN/AAQ-37 Electro-Optical Distributed Aperture System (EODAS).

The DAS provides three basic categories of functions in every direction simultaneously:

- Missile detection and tracking (including launch point detection and countermeasure cueing).
- Aircraft detection and tracking (situational awareness, IRST and air-to-air missile cueing).
- Imagery for cockpit displays and pilot night vision (imagery displayed onto the helmet mounted display).

F-35's DAS was flown in military operational exercises in 2011, has demonstrated the ability to detect and track ballistic missiles to ranges exceeding 800 miles (1,300 km).

If the UKR is destroying and hacking a lot of RuZ Intel and defence systems,.

is the time not right to hit them , without them knowing what hit them?

especially with an abundance of western ammunition and missiles already in circulation and being used?

The same situation of “stalling” for any reason that’s made up or non sensical,   Seems contemptuous to RuZ causes.

 

Politicians now , more than ever seem like Agents for other countries ..

Politicians need to be “vetted” harder in the Democratic world.

 

Its our democratic laws they hide behind to survive and continue operating by.

 

Not too long ago ,  these guys would be arrested or shot.
