Look at Ukraine doing the thing after silly limitations were lifted!

Crimea was off limits?

[–] sunzu@kbin.run 9 points 5 months ago

Many weapons had restrictions on use within Russia. Not Crimea...

But this is part of the large campaign that lifting of restrictions kicked off.

Is that the one they recently moved from Moscow to Crimera? First article I found on the topic

If so that didn't take long and is pretty embarrassing.

Brief video description, including some predictions that might have been prescient.

That won't be replaced any time soon.

They had only one "500" so yeah, nah 😋

According to Wikipedia, one S-500 system has a ~ $2.5 billion price tag and it still is unable to protect itself ;)

Destroying one with nearly any ordnance available will give you the best bang for a buck one can possibly get. The murderous thieves may find it very hard to replace these with the sanctions up, which is nice.
