One of the Russians taking on those dumb shows said they had enough bombs left to just begin carpet bombing?Rossticus said:
More likely Russia is considering an even larger scale attack than previously launched with conventional missiles/bombs. They can cause massive destruction without triggering the outside intervention that nuclear employment would.
Assuming Russia still has the capability to attempt that, their window of opportunity is rapidly closing with NATO's plans to rapidly upgrade Ukraine's air defenses.Rossticus said:

Not sure I believe that.
Right. Was just trying to think of what weapon deployment might lead to such an order where one could think it was preliminary to nuke. The China one especially is significant-- they would have inside info.Rossticus said:titan said:

You'd assume they have a massive conventional weapon like that. More powerful than a tac nuke but without the implications if they used it. Whether or not they could manage to successfully deliver it to a chosen target within Ukraine would be a different question altogether.

This post from a Russian Telegram channel suggests that VDV Commander Colonel General Mikhail Teplinsky may have a command role with Russian forces in Kherson where most VDV units are located. Maybe he took over when Surovikin took overall command?https://t.co/ORTbaqCJTN pic.twitter.com/fqQWeqA96a

Question: Does Glonass really have the same capabilities of our GPS?
Quote:
The Difference Between GLONASS and GPS GNSS
For starters, the US GPS network includes 31 satellites, while GLONASS uses 24 satellites. The 2 systems also differ somewhat on accuracy. GLONASS position accuracy is 5-10m while GPS is 3.5-7.8m. Therefore, GPS outweighs GLONASS in accuracy as lower error numbers are better.
As far as frequencies go, GLONASS operates at 1.602 GHz and GPS at 1.57542 GHz (L1 signal).
When used alone, GLONASS doesn't provide as strong of coverage compared to GPS. In fact There are no significant advantages of GLONASS over GPS.
GLONASS is a great back-up for GPS. When GPS signals are lost (like when you're between tall buildings) GLONASS has your back.
