@reshetz @muntagab @Blackrussiantv @Alex_Oloyede2 @AJEnglish @IranObserver0 @jacksonhinklle @jakeshieldsajj @DefenceU @BBCNews: That’s the strongest layer of air defense that Russia has

@RussiaBattleMap: That’s because they don't have enough USVs and other issues with them. They would also need Long Range Anti-Ship Missiles and be allowed to fire Cruise Missiles at the port of Novorossiysk.

@Doha104p3: So will it come true in the future or does a laser weapon take so much energy that it cannot be used on an F-35?

@Doha104p3: Interesting, do you think lasers will be effective and be mass-produced and equipped on F-35s in the future? Could they take out ground targets, other planes, or missiles with those lasers like what is the range on them?

@RussiaBattleMap: They are not allowed to now, but that’s what they need if they want to take out the whole fleet.

The most important thing now would be making more long range USVs and get more Storm Shadow Cruise Missiles. Then getting Naval Strike Missiles followed by LRASM to hit ships at Sea.

@Doha104p3: Okay, thank you for the explanation. It looks like it’s more for the F-35s defense like air defenses, targeting, and also close range targets. If I understood that correctly.

To take out the Russian Black Sea Fleet completely, Ukraine 🇺🇦 will need

-More Cruise Missiles like SCALP
-LRASM Anti-Ship Missiles
-Naval Strike Anti-Ship Missiles
-More Naval Kamikaze USVs
-ATACMS to hit port infrastructure
-Be allowed to strike Russian Ports like Novorossiysk

@nutella__TR: It’s the only missile that can reach almost the entire Black Sea, and Ukraine does not need many of them. Ukraine needs about 20 of them to take out the main ships. Naval Strike Missiles and Harpoons can take out ships in Crimea, in the Azov Sea, and near Odesa, but the vast majority of the Black Sea would not be hit by any other long-range anti-ship missiles other than Tomahawks, which are ship, submarine-launched

LRASM missiles can hit anywhere in the Black Sea, with a range of over 600km. F-18s can launch them, they can possibly be configured to F-16s, and have been successfully tested by HIMARS. If they aren’t given, Ukraine would need to rely solely on Naval Kamikaze Drones, which haven’t been as effective in destroying Russian ships in the Black Sea. If Ukraine doesn’t get LRASM, then Russian Ships could stay out of the 300km range and still be able to fire missiles and have ships near Russia and in 70% of the Black Sea. That’s why Harpoons are not taking out any ships right now. LRASM missiles are also ramping up production significantly. It would also be a great way to test them in a real warfare scenario.

@ukraine_map @nutella__TR: Below shows the range LRASM will have in Purple compared to Harpoons and Naval Strike Missiles in Orange. Also the Orange shade should be in the Azov Sea for Naval Strike Missiles

As can be seen, LRASM missiles are the only anti-ship missiles that can cover most of the Black Sea

Ramaz Gorgadze was an aspiring TikTok rapper from Russia’s far east.

In September 2022, he was mobilised into the 155th Marine Brigade. By November 2nd, he was missing in Ukraine.

What happened to Ramaz and his comrades of the 155th?

@nutella__TR: It is unlikely to be sent and it is modern but I am saying that is what is needed to take out the Russian Black Sea Fleet, if not, then the majority of the Russian Black Sea Fleet with still be afloat. It’s not Ukraine’s fault that Biden is too scared to send over 20 BLK I ATACMS

@nutella__TR: 1994, and they only sent 20. US has +2200 ATACMS, 400 on order, and +10,000 other better long range missiles. They could send Ukraine a couple hundred ATACMS that could take all the Russian air forces in Crimea but they don’t want to send anymore than 20. It’s very disappointing.
