Russian Airforce destroyed 2 HIMARS.

[para bellum]

Here you go, i could just give you Russian links, unfortunaly, the admins here wont allow it.

Lol. I know what a Caesar looks like. That video is a combination of stock footage and the Caesars in Ukrainian service.

That only proves Ukraine has Caesar. It does NOT support the Russian claim, (which is vehemently denied by both France and Ukraine). The source is a commie journo from France who also pushed the "Hunter Biden Biolabs" theory, and he's provided no evidence to back up his claims,

Neither can you, because it's not true. Russia has not captured any Caesars. The story is a fiction, designed to make the French people question the decision to provide weapons to Ukraine- that's all it is.

When you can show us the videos of the Caesars on railcars on the way to Russia, trot them out.

If it was true, it would be splashed all over every Russian telegram channel and milblogger. The MOD would be proudly displaying them to the world.

As far as reverse engineering them, I would say Russia has enough work ahead reverse engineering their own weapons without western components...

Of course they are.

Uralvagonzavod has 2 of them and researching them. France and Ukraine are just being in denial.
3 were destroyed in an airstrike on a train at Kurakhovo
1 was destroyed on Kubansky Island (near Odessa)

Dont you worry, you better worry about your materials for your semi-conductors.
Ukraine used to be one of your largest Neon exporters, now with Mariupol taken and with it Ukraine's largest neon producer, Russia is now an even larger neon exporter.

Lets see how you build your semiconductors with out the nessecary components from China or Russia.

So you claim with zero evidence. Means nothing. Anyone can make claims. Your claim, it's up to you to show the evidence.

Or don't. We don't care. We know you're just parroting Russian propaganda.

Let me give a little profile of CaptainRussia, based on my experience.

Born after the fall of the USSR, probably after 2000. Parents moved west in the diaspora, probably from one of the peripheral republics like Moldova.

Born and living in the west, possibly Canada. Doesn't identify with the country he lives in. Has a nostalgic view of the USSR based on Russia fan sites, and believes everything he reads about Russian weapons.

Doesn't integrate well in society because he feels like no one understands him, and he's not very bright and socially awkward. Parents are doing well, but don't want to argue with him about his ideology. So he comes on sites like this to play make-believe.

He has no personal context of the Cold War, and he pulls his information from people who spin fanciful stories about the greatness of the USSR. He blames the west for his self-imposed victimhood, because without the west, the USSR would still be there, and he would have been born in his socialist utopoia, instead of the competitive west where he finds it hard to fit in.

I don’t know if a profiler would agree. But your thesis at least has a solid logical appeal to it.

The fact that I live in the west and had to look up that term, I'd say no- not really. Actually, younger people are getting more involved politically today than when I was their age.

It's a Japanese word, Japan is considered an east asian country, not a western country, and it refers to social isolation, not political.

I do think that there is more of it in the west though, as an impact of the pandemic, and it is not good to see. There are definitely more "shut-ins" today than before 2020.

Now go outside and play till dinner.

Russia had its stumbles but unlike the US, Russia at least learns from its mistakes.
Its because of it that Russia won the continuation war against Finland, Nazi Germany and the second Chechen war.

Russian Ka-52 helicopters have now directional IRs installed, another factor contributing to the lack of frequency in downed aircraft. Ukraine also lacks systems to engage high altitude aircraft, so bombers and attack aircraft have not much problem operating in Ukraine.

Russia has been capturing countless manpads from Ukraine recently, so if Russia cant attack them from the air, artillery and ground forces do the trick and they have been very good at it.

Himars can be destroyed through airstrikes, as seen in the video, we might see more destroyed soon.
Russia already captured 2 Caesar howitzers to study.

Speaking of rockets.
The US just recently tried to launch an ICBM for testing and it failed. At least Russia can successfully launch a missile unlike the US.

At the end, these weapons will do little but slow the Russian advance and your weapons will either be destroyed or captured ,like those many manpads and ATGMs, im sure Iran and Syria will be happy to get these.

That wasn’t an ICBM. It was a testbed built from two stages of decommissioned minuteman II missiles that were decommissioned TWENTY SIX YEARS AGO. They’ve been sitting warehouses for all that time. One missile out of nine launches failed. That’s not bad.
