That's exactly what the video said, the system can probably engage HIMARS rockets but because the HIMARS rocket looks almost exactly like a cheap grad rocket on radar, operators don't know when to engage and when to leave it and it could take many months to upgrade the system to accurately recognise HIMARS rockets - in the interim you don't want to be the Russian SAM operator who's just launched $10 million worth of anti air missiles to engage $10 thousand worth of grad rockets because you thought they were HIMARS

I was talking more the complete operational flow including what missiles are loaded, etc.

So many months later and you all start to repeat what I said at the start of the war.....and the time nearly everyone disagreed with me.

25th Feb, one day after invasion





26th Feb

^^ The West did not expect Ukraine to hold as long as it did...they didnt expect sanctions to go on aslong as they have

Hang on...we just had a long discussion where you were telling us that Putin was wining and arguing like hell and that Kiev was just a feint for the Donbass...
Pretty sure you asked me if I was related or sleeping with one of his family members to know that Putin wanted the government dead and the total occupation of Ukraine

Yet here we are and apparently you told us all that he would take the government out and take over Ukraine completely on day 1!!!!

So which is it?

Is his goal the total eradication of Ukraine or to take the Donbass?

You sure sound like the Russian government, say anything and everything and confuse the audience.
 
I would have hoped we'd have the SAS in Russia. But I'm not so sure thats the plan.

It seems to be we're trying to drain Russian firepower. Sadly peoples lives are being paid for it.

Just to confirm - you want current, active members of the UK Military (not spies) to be covertly operating inside Russia, a "hostile" nation to the UK, with the potential for being captured, and you'd see that as a positive thing rather than the potential "Act of War" that it Russia would claim it is, as defined by International Law of Armed Conflict, the Geneva Convention, the ICRC/BRC and, equally as importantly, by the UK Government itself?

If so then, presumably, you'd have to be OK with Russia doing the same and having Russian Spetsnaz operating covertly around the UK as well, just to avoid being a massive hypocrite of course?

They literally used a radiological weapon in the middle of London and a chemical weapon in Salisbury, I think some level of payback is in order... off-the-books of course.

And was the UK was perfectly fine with that happening and did absolutely nothing in return? No, it led to the UK starting world wide sanctions against Russia and we picked that route rather than conflict because we wouldn't dream of starting WW3. Now imagine the Russian response should members of the SAS be caught in Russia doing nefarious things, do you imagine Russia being happy with just starting some sanctions against the UK, or would it lead to more dangerous responses in retaliation?
