Haha, a ruszkik addig lövöldöznek, amíg az amerikaiak THAAD-ot telepítenek Ukrajnába.

FYI a ruszkik tíz éve tiltakoznak THAAD-ok Lengyelországba és Romániába telepítése miatt, most kapnak sokkal közelebb.

[sasukelandia]

if i were the one to form exo in 2012 it would be like this:

dyo, chen, and baekhyun as main vocalists of course

absolutely no rapline. chanyeol will join suho and luhan in the sub vocalists division as a needed baritone. suho is still the leader and luhan will be the pretty boy stan attractor on top of that.

zitao, lay, and kai are the main dancers— with zitao specializing in wushu flashiness

exo-K will be made up of dyo, baekhyun, chanyeol, and suho & exo-M will be made up of chen, luhan, zitao, and lay. kai is a dual member cus he’s The Key (← that’s lore stuff btw)

Что такое комплекс THAAD

[gutsfroggie]

I wanted to do more with my sentient Fox Stole idea lol. I think he’d be called Thaad, the name he says is stitched to his insides. Despite being brought to life by Rher, Thaad can’t do much. He has no bones after all and what use is a pile of fluff? I like to think he’d be worn differently by each contestant and depending on who you play, his level of sass differs. He’d never admit it, but he likes being around Olivia, Abella and Levi.

I think the only benefit to having him is perhaps it’s harder to have your head taken off. It’s the part of the deep woods that I CONSTANTLY die to. Stupid owl cultists, get Thaaded. Might go in and color this later ☺️

The Pentagon is deploying two carrier strike groups, eleven Burke-class destroyers, a number of Ticonderoga-class cruisers, amphibious assault ships, THAAD and Patriot missile defense systems, multiple squadrons of fighter jets, strategic bombers, and undisclosed assets to the Middle East.

The Pentagon expects Iranian proxies to continue to target U.S. troops in the region and has already stated that they will respond "decisively."

What's the probability that this escalates into a war between the United States and Iran?

PENTAGON: "Between October 17th and the 24th, U.S. and coalition forces have been attacked at least ten separate times in Iraq and three separate times in Syria via a mix of one-way attack drones and rockets...

We know that the groups conducting these attacks are supported by the IRGC and the Iranian regime. We are seeing the prospect for more significant escalation against U.S. forces and personnel across the region in the near term coming from Iranian proxy forces and, ultimately, from Iran.

So, by virtue of our announcement over the weekend, we are preparing for this escalation, both in terms of defending our forces and responding decisively."

Trump trying to promise an Iron Dome system for America is pretty funny, given that he didn't understand what THAAD was for or why we would pay South Korea to let us put it on their land. He got really mad about it, too

🇾🇪 Senior AnsarAllah official:

When attempting to intercept a Yemeni ballistic missile, israel needs about $5 million for the Arrow-3 interceptor missile.

Sometimes, their AD system launches more than one missile at a single target. Similarly, intercepting a Yemeni cruise missile or a drone, which costs no more than $2,000; requires an israeli, American, or Saudi to use a Patriot or THAAD interceptor missile, each ranging from 2-3 million dollars, and sometimes multiple missiles are launched at a single target.

Ukraine is now calling for THAAD air defense system, F-18 fighters, MQ-9 drones and helicopters

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 12/07/2023 - 17:40in Military, War Zones

The latest list of U.S. weapons that Ukraine says it needs to fight the Russian military includes sophisticated air defense systems, F-18 "Hornet" fighters, drones, Apache and Blackhawk helicopters, according to documents seen by Reuters.

Officials from the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense presented a “arms list to meet the needs of Ukraine's defense forces” during a closed-door session of a conference in Washington on Wednesday, with the presence of government officials and defense industry executives.

The comprehensive list included weapons that Ukraine already has in stock, such as Abrams tanks and 155-millimeter artillery, as well as some weaponry, as well as F-16 fighters, drones and long-range ATACMS missiles that it has requested in the past.

But the list has some surprises, including expensive items such as C-17 Globemaster transport aircraft manufactured by Boeing and the C-130 Super Hercules manufactured by Lockheed Martin. Boeing's Apache attack helicopters entered the list, as did the Black Hawk helicopter manufactured by Lockheed Martin's Sikorsky unit.

But the Ukrainians didn't stop there. The documents show that Ukraine is also looking for F-18 Hornet fighters, three types of drones manufactured by General Atomics, including the MQ-9B Sky Guardian and the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) air defense system manufactured by Lockheed.

Ukrainians know that they must guarantee Western military aid to continue the fight.

Legislation that would provide billions of dollars in new security assistance for Ukraine and Israel was blocked in the U.S. Senate on Wednesday, as Republicans pressed their demands for tougher measures to control immigration on the U.S.-Mexico border.

U.S. President Joe Biden made the Ukrainian victory a foreign policy goal while campaigning for re-election in November 2024.

Ukraine's list reflects what would easily be equivalent to billions of dollars in arms purchases or donations.
