I believe this could be the system that is referred to in the above Tick Tock

 

Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bomb Would Double Ukraine’s Precision Strike Range

 

Ukraine’s next long-range precision strike weapon could be the Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bomb, or GLSDB, with the Pentagon now apparently considering a Boeing proposal to supply Kyiv with the munition. The recently developed GLSDB, an adaptation of the widely used air-launched Small Diameter Bomb, or SDB, has not previously found a customer but would provide a significant boost to Ukraine’s capacity to strike in Russian rear areas.

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg on Tuesday said the “door is open” to admitting Ukraine into the security alliance and that the country would one day be a member.

Nato pledges to provide more weapons and fix power grid

 

Nato has pledged to give more weapons to Ukraine and help fix critical energy infrastructure badly damaged by massive Russian missile and drone strikes.

At a summit in Bucharest, the secretary general of the military alliance, Jens Stoltenberg, accused Moscow of "trying to use winter as a weapon of war".

The Russian strikes have left millions of Ukrainians without electricity and running water in freezing temperatures.

Ukraine has for months been asking Nato for more advanced air defence systems.

After the European Parliament designated Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism it looks like the US is considering doing the same to the Wagner Group. Quite right to imo, gang of brutal murdering thugs with no accountability for their actions

 

US Is Weighing a Terrorism Label for Russia’s Wagner Group Mercenaries

The group’s troops are fighting in Ukraine and in Africa

Its founder Yevgeny Prigozhin is a close ally of Putin

Labeling Wagner a foreign terrorist organization would allow the US to pursue criminal prosecution against the group and its members, as well as go after its assets around the globe.

Also remember ,Russian soldiers are already underfed,under equipped

and demoralized.

The Ukrainian soldiers are welcomed with open arms and given hospitality and food by their own citizens .

No matter which way you look at it,if the Russian government had any

sense of reality they would stop this senseless war.

It will only get worse for them if they try to hold on.

why provide more weapons if they can't use them freely, enough with defensive weapons move to offensive ones as that's the only language Russia understands... back in my football days my coach always said that the best defense is to attack.

[Mavideol]

if only the west listen and stop worrying about what Russia may think or do.... Orcs only understand one language, let's give it to them.... already back in 2014 some that know Russia very well advised/warned the west

Looks like your wish is coming true: “Ukrainian forces struck a power plant in multiple attacks on Russia’s Kursk region on Tuesday, causing some electricity outages, a local governor said.”

All been explained before. Don't you read all the posts?

 

IMO if Ukraine uses a US or British weapon to attack the Russian land, it's virtually a declaration of war by the US or Britain, and possibly WW3 ensues.

Do you want everyone you know to die in a nuclear war?

 

Also, if Russia was actually being invaded by Ukraine, do you think they wouldn't use nuclear weapons against them?

Ukraine surrender hotline for Russian soldiers gets 100 callers per day since September. Some calls were from individual while some from groups. Officials said that they had over 3,500 contacts. This is no small number wanting to surrender. Adds up to a Brigade size.

As far as I know, Ukraine has never expressed any intention to invade Russia. But nothing stops them from giving the Russians a taste of their own medicine, destroy a few power stations and gas and water mains here and there, so they start feeling the same pain they are inflicting upon Ukraine. Maybe it will helpt to create a bit more discontent among the Russian population about what Vlad is doing and the consequences it has for mother Russia and its inhabitants.

Statement by President von der Leyen on Russian accountability and the use of Russian frozen assets

Russia must also pay financially for the devastation that it caused, the damage suffered by Ukraine is estimated at 600 billion euros, Russia and its oligarchs have to compensate Ukraine for the damage and cover the costs for rebuilding the country.

And we have the means to make Russia pay, we have blocked 300 billion euros of the Russian Central Bank reserves and we have frozen 19 billion euros of Russian oligarchs' money.

In the short term, we could create, with our partners, a structure to manage these funds and invest them. We would then use the proceeds for Ukraine.

Follow your own advice next time and read prior posts, rudi49jr posted this 2 hours before you posted and there are many other links on here where Ukraine has already attacked Russia directly. When Russia fires missiles from its own territory then hitting back at them is more than reasonable. Or give them a taste of their own medicine with a few blackouts

 

Ukraine's forces strike power plant in Russia's Kursk region - governor

Nov 30 (Reuters) - Ukrainian forces struck a power plant in multiple attacks on Russia’s Kursk region on Tuesday, causing some electricity outages, a local governor said.
“In total, there were about 11 launches. A power plant was hit,” Roman Starovoyt, the governor of the Kursk region, said on the Telegram messaging app.
