That’s such a ridiculous piece of propaganda. There tons of videos of FABs being used with meter precision to hit Ukrainian lines. The actual reason they’re not being used is that it’s a weapon for breaking dug in fortified lines, and Ukraine hasn’t had a chance to make any in Kursk. It’s absolutely incredible what sort of nonsense people will fall for when they have no clue on the subject. Here’s a detailed explanation for those interested.
They do actually mention the applicability mainly to static front lines in the article.
I’m amazed and delighted that Ukrainian troops have managed to occupy a part of Russia for so long. I thought they would be driven out in a day or two. This is pathetic (and hilarious). It reminds me of the early days of the war, when Russia thought they would take Kyiv in less than a week.
It just drives the point more that the Russian military is nowhere near the level the rest of the world thought it was.
Russia should have easily had air superiority within a day and been able to run through to Kyiv in a week. Especially with the build up on the border leading up to the invasion.
It also brings into question their overall nuclear capability. Like whether they’re capable of MAD-level deterrence anymore. Even though it only takes a few nukes to destroy everything anyway, their massive stockpiles have likely deteriorated irreparably over the last 30-40 years and they’ve been lying to themselves in reports so no one had to take any blame.
If I was a corrupt Russian general, embezzling funds meant for nuclear deterrence upkeep would be a pretty safe bet since they are the weapons least likely to ever be used and thus least likely to be found out.
Huh. War is apparently a bit harder to do when you have to try to not kill (your own) civilians.
‘Best’ is context bound. If you can’t use it properly, it simply isn’t the best choice and shouldn’t be used
