“Hey man i got some low level gear you can use”

[aliabdallah]

Only an American would call a missile “atacm” and pronounce it Attack em!

Imagine being able to get these kind of video updates in 1944 during WW2…we live in a crazy world.

“Junk drawer” Actually means these missiles are at or beyond manufactures end-of-life date and were going to be discarded, this actually means that sending them doesn’t add additional costs when you’re replacing them. It actually might save some money because decommissioning them can be quite costly. So this is a win-win Ukraine gets great long-range missiles and the US gets rid of them at the lowest possible cost.

Fun fact: In the first strike in which ATACMS was used, the specific missiles used were ~27 years old

Keeping those old and relatively outdated missiles in a functional state cost more than just sending them to Ukraine

[lordwithers]

Attack'ems' sounds like a military funded breakfast cereal

[guineapigzed]

The streets could be paved in gold with all the military money.

What happened to the Spring offensive?

American junk drawer - russia’s futuristic sci-fi.

WSJ please set slow talkers at 1.5x speed for shorts, thanks. This style of content is meant to be fast paced *and* you get to fit more info since there's a duration limit.

Sorry to bring the public reality, Ukraine has already lost this war. It's lost months ago when the so called 'counter-offense' failed within weeks, not months, failed within weeks. It's time for Ukraine to beg for peace before more Ukranian and also Russian lives are lost.

The pics from the missle wreckage show it was made in 1996.

[richardhowells]

You do know all those range stats are the unclassified ranges. They go further.

[haruhisuzumiya]

This is how you demoralise the enemy 😂

[DD-ufuo]

I think the USA Government should sends these out to U.S. citizens. Just think, if we are invaded by another country, what would they think when they found out this is what the CITIZENS use.

The first strike was used against an airfield in Crimea where russian helicopters frequently launched sorties to attack the Ukrainians on the and near the front line. 8 aircraft, including a KA52 were destroyed. Russia will now have to us an airbase m7ch further away, increasing the time it takes air support to arrive as well as fuel used and risk of encountering AA fire.

Items from our high end junk drawer. Not our high end items lol

This policy of incrementally giving Ukraine better weapons will go down as a failure. This policy prolonged the conflct and allowed Russia to adapt.
