Send them more F16s

tsonfeir@lemm.ee on 03 Jan 2024 09:32 next collapse

We sent them all to Israel.

cooljacob204@kbin.social on 03 Jan 2024 14:37 collapse

Nah they get the f35s.

lysol@lemmy.world on 03 Jan 2024 10:58 next collapse

Send them Gripen as well.

Yes but with your money 😁

To each their own ;)

Fair enough. I just rather pay some tax money to weapons that go to Ukraine than to fight in the next war myself against Russia. Because that is what is likely going to happen in Europe if Russia wins.

You’re talking to a bot. It’s few days old account spreading russian propaganda.

lysol@lemmy.world on 04 Jan 2024 08:29 collapse

Yes, you’re probably right.

Fuck it. Your thoughts might be helping someone elae accept the gravity of the situation. Don’t stop communicating, that is what made humans great, and it will be the only thing that can save us from most of not all issues.

Thanks. :)

No I want them to use yours in particular

Too bad I’m not paying since I’m from Russia

Well then you better watch out before your loonbag president stuffs you in the meatgrinder like your friends before you

np i’ll just overdraft my bank account, buy 500 patriots and shitloads of ATACMS for ukraine, send them off, and then declare bankruptcy. i can manage the 5 years lol

You are very rich!!! My dad works for Microsoft as well!

Give Ukraine whatever they want including nukes and the mongoloid of Moscow will never look south again.

Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world on 04 Jan 2024 07:38 collapse

Pretty gross way to agree with me tbh

ghostdoggtv@lemmy.world on 04 Jan 2024 13:51 collapse

Pretty gross situation altogether tbh

Rapidcreek@lemmy.world on 03 Jan 2024 09:38 next collapse

Every Ukrainian downing of Russian hypersonic Kinzhal with the Patriot missiles will improve the Patriot missile intercept algorithm - and increase accuracy for all Patriot systems, a benefit for the US, the rest of NATO, and other Patriot AD users. Added ROI.

Rentlar@lemmy.ca on 03 Jan 2024 13:31 collapse

Pretty much what those weapon systems were built to do. It’s a rare chance to test them against real world targets…

Jaysyn@kbin.social on 03 Jan 2024 14:07 next collapse

Once again American weapon systems show the world what absolute clowns Russia are.

SirEDCaLot@lemmy.today on 03 Jan 2024 14:44 next collapse

My thought exactly. What I guess was an attempt at a saturation bombardment, costing at least half a billion dollars, and it achieved literally nothing. Meanwhile in Russia you hear shit like the story the other day where a man got shot in the knee, and instead of getting him knee replacement and disability payment they sent his wife a bag of vegetables and they’re sending him back to the front line (even though he can barely walk). This whole situation is so fucked.

plz1@lemmy.world on 03 Jan 2024 15:24 collapse

That and Russia bombing one of it’s own villages by accident…

snooggums@kbin.social on 03 Jan 2024 16:26 collapse

Whoopsie!

bassad@jlai.lu on 04 Jan 2024 11:00 collapse

Yeah but this is an attrition game : if every patriot sent costs 3 m$, is it used to down a 10m$ khinzal, a 1m$ kh-22 or a 20k$ shaheed ? It costs both sides a lot, and I am not sure it is in favor of UA

NGL, that’s pretty badass. Engineers are the real MVPs!
