The operation destroyed a Russian Pantsir-S1 air defense system, valued at an estimated $15 million to $20 million.

    Oh my god, I get that they would’ve later perpetrated death and fear to innocents…

    Why am I internally “cheering” for 100 dead people.

    Fuck this shit

      For me, I’m not “cheering” for 100 dead people, but for the weakening of the agressor’s army. It sucks so much that it is by death, but that is war… war sucks and shouldn’t happen, but here we are.

      Hundreds of people die every day for far stupider and much less fair reasons, like pedestrians murdered by car drivers.

      Ill cheer externally for 100 dead American soldiers if it makes you feel better.

      Thugs serving a pedophile tyrant deserve no sympathy.

    Well, that sounds like a good start.

    It’s a good thing if they continue to degrade Russian air defenses. More drones coming after Puto!

    Let’s hope that, along the way, they take out a few troll farms, too, and do us all a favor.

    I’m cheering for the FSB getting pantsired.

    I haven’t read anything lately about replacement rate for pantsirs but

    • they’re expensive
    • probably hard for Russia to replace
    • make Ukraine attacks more difficult

    Every anti-aircraft asset gone is a good step in reducing russias ability to keep the war going

    That’s the way to do it, take out the HQ, leadership, hard to replace high level personnel, and equipment. It will take time to establish a new HQ, get people sorted out, install new gear, figure out what Intel is lost, and get back on solid ground.

    Meanwhile, Ukraine can keep pounding. I’ve heard that arms manufacturers have made deals with Ukraine to test their gear in battlefield conditions, so they are getting to play with cutting edge gear against Russia’s second rate gear that was built by their corrupt government.
