Excellent news, and congratulations.

I know that the numbers could always be higher, but missiles are complex beasts and production lines take time to set up and bastardly amounts of logistics to feed.

Here's hoping it becomes 100 missiles per month soon, and perhaps even 100 a week if the war keeps dragging on.

It would be nice to see those missiles bring some of the heat of the war to Russia.

Just in time for winter too.

Well, the rest of it, anyway.

Careful how that is done. Hitting random things tends to make people more in favor of war - get back at those who destroyed the neighbor's house. Hit things that are more impersonal like ammunition factories instead.

Funny how war crimes are assumed, I'm obviously talking about militarily valid targets.
But yes you are right, committing war crimes will only lead to Russians wanting revenge.

[–] bluGill@fedia.io 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I've hake seen many comments here that favor war crimes. Sad but all too common and I don't think they are bots*

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Well I haven't seen that as something widespread, but maybe I tend to ignore it?
Most here are very much against Russian war crimes, so it's a double standard if they support Ukraine doing it.

But there have been actions taken by Ukraine that have been called war crimes by the Russians, which are not. Russia is trying to create a false equivalence.
Be careful not to fall for that either.

I call BS. Calling for war crimes violates R1 and gets dealt with. If you see it report it.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 years ago

It's probably more things like saying "Ukraine should return the favor of Russia targeting civilians." I'm not sure if that violates the rule, but I could see an argument that it doesn't. It's wrong though.

They've proven to be very good engineers. And very clever, quick adapters.

I hope we get that 6B to him now, and he can turn that into something he can use to produce more of things like this, because I have no hope Trump will support Ukraine.

I guess it's not really new cash funding but rushing to get him everything we've already promised, before the other guy can stop it.

Test them on the battlefield

[–] clif@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I'd imagine that's the plan ; )

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I thought they had been producing missiles for years now.
