I was premature with my prediction. The quinceñeras are today. Let it all go to cinders, Zolushka.

Ukrainian sources give conflicting information, but judging by the sounds of the explosions, something more powerful than the Kamikaze drone Geranium(Geran-2) ,was used in the attack.

To clarify, as admitted by the Ukrainian military command itself, Ukrainians have no defence against ballistic missiles. Hence, the cheaper Iranian imports are an important addition to the Russian arsenal.

Ukrainian sources report that the ongoing air attack is being conducted with something more powerful than Geranium-2 drones.

🇪🇺The "collective west" has begun preparations for the transfer of F-16 fighters to Ukraine.

(Note that it takes a long time to train pilots for them.)

The company, Lockheed Martin, which produces F-16 fighter jets, is increasing production volumes in order to be ready to supply them to countries that decide to transfer their aircraft to Ukraine. 
The company cannot send aircraft directly to Kiev.

The units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine tried to cross the Dnieper River near Novaya Kakhovka; Russian forces opened fire— Vladimir Rogov, member of the local Zaporozhye administration.

With respect to SRBMs (short-range ballistic missiles) and the reason why Ukraine has no defence against them:

1) in addition to the different trajectory (a ballistic, i.e. a parabolic trajectory), whereby the missiles do not fly parallel to the surface, like cruise missiles, but come down in a steep downwards curve,

2) the key factor is the tremendous (in comparison to most common cruise missiles) terminal velocity of SRBMs, which is the velocity on the final approach to the target.

Gravity works in a ballistic missile’s favour, and it is what makes it such a potent weapon.

The terminal velocity of an SRBM like 9K720 Iskander, for instance is 2100–2600 m/s (Mach 6–7), making it hypersonic on approach to the target, whereas most common cruise missiles, like everyone’s favourite Kalibr, are pre-sonic. Cruise missiles avoid air defences and radar detection by flying low, maneuvering, and hugging the terrain. SRBMs have no need for this.

An ICBM is even faster, reaching a terminal velocity of 3.3 km/s.

PS. That is also the reason why the most successful implementation of the American ABM system would see kinetic anti-ballistic missiles launched from a mobile sea platform in the theatre from where a launch is expected and destroy an ICBM when it’s most vulnerable and its velocity is smallest in magnitude (the missile is fighting gravity at that point)—at the take-off stage. Also the reason why the US NMD designs could never successfully challenge the enormous number of Russian ICBMs positioned in the heartland of the Russian territory.

#Ukrainian #Warcrimes—Donetsk, DPR, Russia, September 19, 2022. Ukrainian forces shelled the Kuybyshevsky district in Donetsk, leaving 16 civilians dead, including 2 children. Eternal memory to the innocents who perished at the hands of the fascist Kiev regime.
