@auonsson @MT_Anderson The tugs are an indicator for Baltic Fleet activity, which is likely what Allied ISR is interested in, not the tugs themselves.

I don't have good track of activity in the Baltic at the moment, so don't know if any sea trials or other interesting activity is underway.

@VictorishB123 I honestly think it would be a smart idea for US to test a couple ATACMS out before sending them. There’s a strike in recent weeks that may have been done by M39/M39A1 ATACMS as it resembles the aspects of one

But if not, I think US would not send them if they will get shot down

@VictorishB123 If it’s so easy to get shot down and is less accurate then they don’t need it and would benefit more from intercepting a Storm Shadow or GMLRS. ATACMS is an old missile, USA is replacing it.

@VictorishB123 Of the 1,595 to 1,700 M39/M39A1 ATACMS, a total of 1,076 were brought in by the start of 2022 according to the installation schedule on US Procurement records, and as of now at least 924 should’ve been converted to M57E1

USA likely still has a couple hundred M39 and M39A1 ATACMS

@VictorishB123 That’s the point, that if they are easier to get shot down and are less advanced then GMLRS or Storm Shadow. So it wouldn’t help Russia much if they shot it down.

RT @olliecarroll: As a senior Ukrainian official put to me: “Militarily, Russia is now ready for a long war. Its military complex has stepped up. The question post-Prigozhin is whether they can sustain it politically”

@VictorishB123 They can say whatever they want publicly. Just like US says Crimea is legitimate target but doesn’t give them anything to hit it

Ukraine has not hit any parts of Crimea in the past 2 months of them firing +35 Storm Shadows. They had to have collaborators knock down a tiny bridge

@VictorishB123 I am responding to your point specifically about Iran getting the technology

Personally, I think ATACMS is easier to intercept than Storm Shadows or GMLRS. But Russia will still have a hard time intercepting them. But many US Military officials have said ATACMS will help greatly

@VictorishB123 GMLRS-ER would be a big game changer in the <150km range. I think the production rate of GMLRS-ER matters too. But Ukraine needs 300km missiles too if they want to hit Crimea. GMLRS-ER can have a larger impact but USA restricts Ukraine for hitting military targets Russia in GMLRS

RT @Firsov_Donetsk: В цей бліндаж орки заносили БК вночі і старанно його маскували.
Ми довго за ним спостерігали. Але комбат поставив задачу вразити склад тоді, коли там буде знаходитись ворожа піхота.

Так і зробили. Спалились орки на тому, що один з них вийшов «попісяти», тут ми їх і підловили. https://twitter.com/Firsov_Donetsk/status/1674669932557086720/video/1
