Stop trolling.

I grew up in a staunch ALP household, but I'll never support them at the ballot box or in sprit - they're full of shit!

and there's your problem in a nutshell. Your mind is made up no matter what the reality is. You don't care what happens, or who does what, all you care is that the libs aren't blamed.

Is that right Smiff?
I've never voted Lib (or Nat), so why would I care if the Libs get blamed or Campbelltown gets nuked?

I didn't say you voted for them. I said you only care that they don't get blamed for anything.

The fact that you absolutely refuse to lay any blame on the libs for any perceived defense forces shortfalls, despite them being in charge for 20 of the last 26 yrs, is proof of that.

I am typing this slowly for Booby’s benefit:

Tomahawk cruise missiles require WAY too much infrastructure—the russians would destroy them very quickly.

With a Javelin shoulder mounted AT missile, one or two Ukrainian soldiers can fire a missile at a tank, ditch the launcher and skedaddle before return fire hits the spot they fired the missile from. How the FUCK can you do that with all the infrastructure a Tomahawk missile needs?

The Ukraine defence forces use a simple drone like you could buy from Amazon to locate columns of russian vehicles than set up their attack. Simple, light, nimble sort of warfare that the Ukrainians have stopped the russians with.

Although Ukraine’s air defenses have held surprisingly well over the past two and a half weeks, particularly given the size and capabilities of the Russian Air Force, the Ukrainian government has requested additional fighter jets as Russian forces pummel cities like Mariupol, Kharkiv, and Kyiv with aerial bombardments in addition to shelling attacks.

LVIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused the West of cowardice as his country fights to stave off Russia’s invading troops, making an exasperated plea Sunday for fighter jets and tanks to sustain a defense as the war ground into a battle of attrition.

Speaking after U.S. President Joe Biden said in a lacerating speech that Russian President Vladimir Putin could not stay in power — words the White House immediately sought to downplay — Zelenskyy lashed out at the West’s “ping-pong about who and how should hand over jets” and other weapons while Russian missile attacks kill and trap civilians.

An hour is not gonna kill anyone, but I do want light hands on buttons.

I also want less personal shit fights on these main boards. Have a personal snipe if you like but also make sure that there is accompanying comment relevant to topic in each post.

I was on topic but I was attacked by Monk.
As a moderator he should be setting a good example.

Actually cruise missiles can be launched from aircraft:

even ground launched:
https://breakingdefense.com/2021/04/aus ... nt-stupid/
The Ground-Launched Cruise Missile (GLCM), made for the Air Force, was a modified Navy BGM-109A Tomahawk

What they need is the information from satellites for the terrain following radar guidance.
The Yanks get that from satellites and could supply it and help with suitable targeting
of enemy command and control centers etc.

The Yanks can even fire them from ships and submarines.
That's how the Yanks would fight the war in Ukraine if their soldiers
were in the firing line of mad Russians.
They wouldn't muck around like we're seeing now.
Russia would be deaf, dumb and blind within 2 hours.
