Quick Analysis of the #Russian attack on the ammunition depot in #Nikolaev, last night — as claimed by Russia.
According to the trajectory that we’re seeing, it appears that Russia used the 9M542 high-precision 300-mm rocket-propelled munition for the Tornado-S MLRS.
1/
The 9M542 corrects its own flight path mid flight and sports a range of 120 kilometres. The 9M542 missile as well as the 549 & 544 versions— are direct analogues to #Ukraine’s #HIMARS with accuracy while delivering more explosive power. #Ukrainerussiawar

Addendum: #Russian 439th Guards rocket artillery brigades single battery from #Kherson as usual , 6 TEL 12x6 =72 total-300 mm all kinds of nasty stuff
Killing power x2-x4 times better then #HIMARS
72 x 2 = 144+ HIMARS equivalent firepower in a single battery #Ukrainerussiawar

Retired #USA Army Colonel Douglas McGregor in The #American Conservative:
Determined to see his proxy war with #Russia through to the end, #JoeBiden is losing the battle for #Ukraine, and his favorite horse, #NATO, is on its last legs.

However, there is something that is falling even faster than #JoeBiden's ratings - these are the economies of the #UnitedStates and #Europe.

When #European bond and stock futures crash and the euro crashes below the #dollar, that's no good, but when #Paris turns off its famous night lights to save energy, it's a sure sign that things are going from bad to worse.
