Can be used to guide basic smart bombs.

Also quite telling about Russian capabilities, i.e. way behind.

 

[Johno please?]

I dunno, Russia don't seem to have any allies in this, even their usual most vocal supporters and the like are silent,

Oh I dunno, old Assad the pig phoned him up didnt he, the little despot club.

Sky news reporting more protests in St Petersburg

 

[Washout]

So why are they considered such a big threat then?

Its all the 'exercising' they do.

 

[Doobedoo]

All the nuclear weapons they have obviously.

Their conventional forces aren't much of a match for NATO.

Everyone has nuclear weapons. And yeah The US spend more on defence each year than pretty much the rest of the World combined.

 

[robfosters]

All this is down to one man. One pipsqueak of an old, evil and mentally ill man. How can we watch the world burn just for him.

 

[dowie]

But dont nato have AA capable of kocking nukes out the sky

A missile from North Korea, sure, not ideal but might get intercepted... but not to the point where they could defeat a big nuclear bombardment from Russia!

Lots of gas stations around here are running out of gasoline again #

I think at that stage there won't be much we can do. The world would essentially end for almost everyone. No point worrying about it too much.

Pretty much this. Yes, it is grotesque and utterly perverse to resign yourself to it but is out of all of our hands. Focus on the moment, your friends, family and loved ones. It will be a crisp winters' morning tomorrow; go for a walk.

Anymore than we do? Shh I’m not supposed to talk about anything about us this is purely a Russia is bad thread. My bad.

#Russia sucks

Your kids would probably never wake up again, like the rest of us

Unfortunately the realities are watching people and children die from radiation or starvation.

Explosions started again.

Like my dad said. Pull up a chair and open a beer .

Well it will involve others but its a bit mad isnt it.

Better stock up. Alcohol cheaper than fuel atm to burn and drink..

Calling it WW3 is a bit much.

For sure we should just call it The End

Do the LED/IR tags have enough power for Smart Bomb tracking range though ?

 

[Freefaller]

I hate the way everyone’s so flippant about world war 3.

You won’t be laughing when you get your call up, when you see your home get bombed or see that mushroom cloud rising

There have been some worrying posts in this thread. I'm ever the optimist glass half full sort of person, but I can't deny I'm a little nervous about this. And the fact this is happening right now... And yet here we are in the warm chatting on the internet about people's lives and people getting guns to go and shoot other people. It's absolutely harrowing.

All this because of Putin as you say. This petulant child-like man who wants to go back in the past and rewrite history because nobody likes him.

Don’t know. Depends on the bulb and how many. I could imagine a cluster of IR ones would be enough. Or they could be using them to help guiding at night. It’s not uncommon for IR tags to be on soldiers in Iraq so they didn’t get targeted by air power.
