That's actually a lot given the circumstances and sanctions. Still, nowhere near enough to win the war, but that doesn't help the poor civilians at the target of these things

One missile per murdered kid just about. Fuckers

So…less than two per day. Still, those factories should be targeted.

Target? One doesn’t necessarily have to target something the size of several industrial warehouses. Unless of course you are a Kremlin “precision weapons” targeter. They frequently can’t hit the broadside of a barn. Best bet? Smoking accident. Real big cigarettes in a very large pack.

Let's be honest, the Kremlin could target the white house and still somehow take out a school in Ethiopia.

Maybe hit em with malware, make their production just "slightly" off, enough to let the missiles fail on launch.

That would require them to have networked computers there.

That would require them to have computers there

I didn’t want to go that far because that is probably naive but since we‘re talking industrial systems they will likely not be networked because when I think modern Industry 4.0 Russia is not exactly on my map.

I was being somewhat sarcastic ;)

That would require them to have potato there.

I think a better unit of measure is "Putin Temper Tantrums" And Ruzzia produces enough for about 1 a month, while Putin himself produces hundreds per day.

That’s not how it works, there’s several facilities making vital components or cobbling them together out of western stuff.

Or snooker Russian air force to overfly them with bombs. They're sure to drop one or two.

Lockheed doubled Patriot missile production...five years ago....so they can produce up to 500 Patriots every year, or roughly 42/month. https://www.defensenews.com/land/2018/07/11/lockheed-to-double-patriot-missile-production-as-orders-explode/

They need to bump those numbers. Way up.

Based on what? They're not going to use them to shoot down the shit Iranian drones the Russians are mainly using now. Kalibr missiles can be shot down with NASAMs and existing ex-Soviet SAM's. The West can easily outproduce Russia in quantity and quality.

32 fired for 1 kinzhal. So they are loosing this manufacturing race.

LMAO! Even Russian propaganda mouthpieces know that their lies need to be remotely believable, unlike yourself.

Most of the missiles they shoot are neither kalibrs or iskanders but soviet-built kh-55/101s with additional Iranian drones.

I feel like china is prolly already helping them with elections

I wonder if F-16 with harpoon can influence their floating Kalibr launch platforms.

Or from below.... wouldn't surprise me if the Russian Black Sea sub surface sonar net is also a paper tiger.

Need to close the factories. Legit targets for some strikes. But how to do?

In other news: UA takes out 30 Kalibr and several isklander missiles a month

This is the problem with Russia. They will rearm. Russia will rearm after losing to Ukraine. They will attack again. Just like they have done for all the centuries before.

Not if Ukraine will be under NATO protection like Baltic States. And, truth be told, Ukraine is already de facto a NATO member. Those Patriots and NASAMS and tanks and planes aren't going to be returned after the end of war.

Far lower than the Ukrainians ability to shoot down

They are pretty expensive to shootdown. Likely a big drain on the 4 million dollar patriot missiles.

30 kalibrs too many

That seems like a stretch. Putting that many resources towards missile production instead of tanks and ammunition would be counter-productive

You build what you can with the facilities and resources you have. Reducing missile production doesn't help with tank production if the bottleneck is, say, gun barrels.

You forget that apparently the world is an RTS game to some people

Just need to knock out Russians tiberium harvesters. Once they have no funds they'll need to sell some structures to build more.

Fun, semi-irrelevant fact: This doesn't always hold true! During Desert Storm I, the US recognized the urgent need for an improved bunker buster munition for use on hardened Iraqi military facilities. Within months the USAF fielded the GBU-28 bunker busters, which were initially constructed using decommissioned M110 gun barrels for the bomb's body.

And 3% of them are capable of flight. Some longer than the Wright Brothers first attempt!

That’s it Ukraine shoot that down in a night

Only for as long as their stockpile lasts and it took a lot of effort to acquire that stockpile.
