On the evening of September 4, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation launched a series of strikes in Ukrainian rear regions. At night, the strikes continues.

Russian strikes were reported in the Odessa, Dnepropetrovsk, Sumy, Kharkiv regions and in the areas under Ukrainian control in the Donetsk People’s Republic.

At about 8 pm local time on September 4, explosions thundered in the southern Odessa region. According to preliminary reports, Russian Iskander-M missiles destroyed a facility used for service and storage of MGM-140 ATACMS missiles supplied by NATO to Ukraine. The military facility was hidden by the Ukrainian and NATO militaries on the territory of an agricultural enterprise near the village of Gribovka. As a result of the strikes, a large fire broke out at the facility.

The MGM-140 is a tactical ballistic missile that can be fired from the tracked M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) and the wheeled M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), both are already in service with Kiev forces.

Kiev forces first deployed the ATACMS in October 2023. At the time, Ukraine received a limited number of ATACMS missiles from the U.S. However, the missiles were of the older M39 Block I version, which has a range of 165 kilometers. This version is armed with a cluster warhead with 950 M74 bomblets. This batch was quickly used within a few weeks. Then, Kiev forces resumed attacks with ATACMS missiles after secretly receiving around a hundred units from the U.S. These missiles were  of a newer version with a longer-range. The U.S. supplied the M39A1 Block I which are armed with a cluster warhead with 300 M74 bomblets and have a range of 300 kilometers, or with the M48 QRU and M57 Block IA versions which are both armed with WAU-23/B unitary warheads and have a range of 270 and 300 kilometers respectively.

The tactical ballistic missiles can be fired from the tracked M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) and the wheeled M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), both are already in service with Kiev forces.

The destruction of a military warehouse with ATACMS is an important victory, since Kiev forces ude them to attack targets in Crimean, or deeper in Russian territory. The Russian military has means to intercept the missiles, like the S-300V4 and S-400 air defense system. The effectiveness of recent Ukrainian attacks with these NATO missiles was quite low, but the strikes still result in damage to Russian military and civilian infrastructure. In late July, one of missiles with cluster warhead exploded over a crowded beach in Sevastopol. LINK

cmdr. cameron yaste was recently let go from his position “due to a loss of confidence in his ability to command the guided-missile destroyer,” the navy announced in a statement, without elaborating. 🤔🤔🤔

the “commander” couldn’t tell the scope was mounted backwards. 😂🤣😂

Barry Mael

it was just meant to be ironic, but some actors in washington couldn’t laugh about it at all, because they obviously understood the criticism 😉

Антон

destroyer “john mccain” is unlucky ship, it’s not the first incident.

tony montana.

at least that commander put it in the general area. it is said that commander brandon some times mistakes his brass spyglass and uses it as an enema. “land ho!”

The Gopher Works

the ‘commander’, like so many of his colleagues, also can’t tell his ass from a hole in the ground.

JunCads

it should look a panoramic view

I Like Ike

hey, at least he didn’t try to load his cartridges into the scope and look through the barrel.

trumps another puppet, he put on a small hat and kissed the wall

Антон

every visitor of the wall must wear that hat, it’s tradition. but in common i could agree, trump won’t change things drastically. when he was the president, he also sponsored nazis. why should he stop now? rural reich is great place to push on russia, they will try to save it as long as possible. money flows could become smaller, but not stopped. the only way is to get rid of rural reich completely in this war or next one, which is inevitable, if rural nazis would prolong their existence.

trump’s feelings were hurt when putin endorsed cameltoes with tongue in cheek. he might just decide to start wwiii over it. never belittle an egomaniac publicly even in jest. they have thin skins..

trump sponsored nazis? i always thought pompeo was more of a mussolini fan than a hitler fan, but what do i know?

Антон

he gave equipment via pentagon. it was in his power to stop militarization of rural reich, but he continued preparations for ethnic cleansing on donetsk and lugansk, sent thousands of anti-tank missiles and rocket (anti-tank grenade) launchers. the plan was to destroy anti-fascist rebellions in donbas, rise anti-government sentiments inside russia, lead it to separatism and rob. pirates never change.

Edward

you stupid fool russia is not our friend. never has been and never will be.

Edward

if you think trump can buddy buddy with russia and end the war your one kind of stupid. i wish he could but, he thinks he’s friends with russia but they just play him like a fool. don’t get me wrong i like trump but i also know what’s reality.

russia should evaluate the new approachs against the neocons in us empire and their lackeys. should develop the “missile foreign policy” in ukraine. shoot all missiles and then negotiate with the survivors. us empire has 350+ mill hab, latamlackeys 400+ mill hab, european lackeys +500 mill hab… russia should do more missiles because it only has less than 160- million habs. use mathematics? who is going to win if you don’t develop new approaches to deal with the lackeys.
