Someone noted a week or so back there were flights from Iran to Russia which were probably supplies.

On another note I see the supposed incident at the Zaporizhzhia power plant hasn't materialised yet - though sometimes plans being called out like that can result in them being adjusted.

Considering Russia were supposed to run out of missiles a year ago they're doing quite well with supply

I never believed the numbers being banded about - but even the dwindling numbers they are still firing exceed the information I've managed to dig up as to stockpiles and production :s (EDIT: Though there are Russian sources who claim they've doubled missile production output which would more or less match up I guess as they seem to be trickling them out in the 1-3 dozens worth rather than the 60-80 in a strike they were doing when they had stockpiles left).

Sounds like Kyiv is getting a bit of a battering at the moment :(

If the information is correct around 20 Kalibrs are still inbound as well.

The war currently does just feel like both sides are just lobbing missiles at eachother

That's what happens when you don't have the ability to advance on the ground.

Russia though has more offensive missiles to use, but Ukraine seemingly has more air defence to use so at this stage even though Russia is doing most of the offensive launches, what offensive missiles Ukraine is using is having a bigger impact and higher success rate than Russia has

At least the AFU is targeting actual miiltary targets, and not just schools, hospitals and civilian occupied apartment buildings etc.

How are the Ukrainian's launching the Storm Shadow missiles? They have adapted them really fast

With this but I don't know what it is

Edit: looks like it could be a mig25 or mig31

Its the Sukhoi SU-24 (Fencer) modified to fire Stormshadow.

I'm not cetain but I'd hazard a guess that they possibly program the missiles coordinates prior to takeoff then fly to the release point similar to how the modified the AGM-88 HARM to fire from the Mig 29. If they have managed to further integrate the Stomshadow i'd be very impressed.

Turns out that Lindsay Graham quote was fabricated by splicing two different statements out of context.

U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham’s recent comments during his Friday meeting with the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky in the war-torn country caused outrage and fury in Moscow, with the head of RT Margarita Simonyan calling for his assassination.

In a video clip of the meeting, Graham’s comments were spliced in a way that made it seem that the Senator stated that the fact that Russians “are dying” in the invasion is “the best money we’ve ever spent.”

In fact, Graham said that the U.S. aid to Ukraine—and not specifically the deaths of the Russians—was a valuable investment in global security for the United States.

So he's not as based as I thought he was, and Russia is over-reacting as usual.

I don't believe anyone's numbers, on principle.

The propaganda is ridiculous, and many of the claims equally nonsensical.

I'm surprised how credulous many people can be. And amused how defensive and grumpy they get when picked up on their bullhickey.

What do you expect, I suppose.
