On the morning of September 19, the Ukrainian military attempted another attack on the Crimean peninsula. This time, the target was the Crimean Bridge.
Russian air defense intercepted four inconspicuous British-made Storm Shadow cruise missiles. The missiles were reportedly shot down at a low-altitude of up to 50 meters halfway to the Crimean Bridge. Russian air defence systems Pantsir-S1 and Buk-M3 destroyed three missiles over Melitopol, another one was shot down near Genichesk.
The launch of British-French missiles was reportedly carried out by Ukrainian Su-24M bombers from the airspace of the Mykolaiv region. The aircraft took off from the Starokonstantinov airfield.
The Ukrainian media hastened to declare that the Crimean Bridge was hit but their reports were immediately refuted. In fact, the smoke seen in the Kerch area was the smokescreen used by the Russian military. The traffic on the bridge was suspended for less than half an hour and was soon resumed. Ukrainian attack failed.

Due to stealth technologies in the fuselage and the absence of radio exchange, the Storm Shadow cruise missiles are almost invisible for radars. That does not prevent Russian air defense systems from detecting and shooting them down. The red-hot nozzle of the main engine of the missile is clearly visible both in the radar and infrared ranges.
if you let them take shot’s at it it is just a question of time until one hits.
long range lancet can reach khmelnytsky airbase which has the su24s and take them all out. im sure it’s in development
shahed needs an electroptical sensor like harop and it can easily take out su24s and ukrop planes with precision anywhere in ukraine. lancet is only one that can do that at the moment but has only 40km range.
treba vymyslieť ako naň namontovať prídavnú nádrž, ktorú potom môže odhodiť. tým sa zvýši rádius doletu.
yes, exactly, (but needs to be stealthy and not compromise radar signature) as lancet is incredibly stealthy. iris-t couldn’t even shoot it down and it uses a gallium nitride aesa fire control radar. or larger version of lancet with similar stealth characteristics. both options needed to find and destroy all ukrop su-24 storm shadow carriers.
orcraine is now mobilizing females 😃 meanwhile american tactics haven’t changed even once throughout the entire great offensive. they just send wave after wave of orcs against russian defenses. it’s like a tower defense video game 😃
command & conquer unit ready … unit lost
ukrapiggies fail nr 10000002 and counting…
the first act of a show for the american people as the zelensky bitch speaks before the usa puppet congress to further loot taxpayers against a fabricated enemy in a war to steal resources for global corporations
and we all wonder why this airfield is not carpet bombed to rubble? it’s right there just waiting… 🤔
maybe later the russians want to capture it intact?
prince haaland did not score tonight…
storm shadow is not invisible to radar. it’s just that pantsir uses a shitty radar for fire control radar. pantsir needs aesa active phased array antenna for missile guidance/fire control. these types are highly effective against stealth technology. instead pantsir uses outdated pulse only fire control radar. also p-18-2 or nebo-svu can detect storm shadow if deployed to kerch, they operate in vhf band and can detect stealth at hundreds of kilometers away. just excuses
clearly anti-stealth radars either aren’t being placed in strategic positions, or short range air defense like pantsir or tor is unable to get a target lock on the drones due to being too stealthy. either way engineers are working on this so there will be a solution in the future. maybe improved pantsir or buk with much more powerful aesa radar? or laser guided optical guided missile system
and the british and french embassies still stand in kiev????
ruské vojská musia posunúť frontovú líniu minimálne 50 km na západ!!! tým získa pvo viac času na odhalenie a zneškodnenie rakiet ktorá banderovské fašistické svine vypustia na donbas!!! myslím, že teraz je ten správny čas. rakety dlhého doletu už na ukrajinu dodávajú briti, francúzi a chystajú sa už i nemci a aj usa!!!
in order to do that, russia need to mobilize more reservists. at least 150,000. partial mobilization to open up second front and capture nikolaev and odessa and link up with transnistria. right now the other 200,000 russian troops are stretched along a very big frontline that goes from kherson all the way to kharkiv outnumbered against at least 800,000 ukrop soldiers. and still holding their ground. especially in zaproizhizhia.
russia captured a fully intact stormshadow last month. we will soon see their version of it hammering ukrop targets all over ukropistan
