- "End of argument." You mean end of your childish burst? All advanced weapons Ukraine has already gotten from the allied countries have been at some stage at the phase of "donation considered", and Storm Shadow/Scalp is no exception of that. Did you proclaim irrelevance of the Storm Shadow the same way before it arrived to Ukraine? Many, like ATACMS of the USA, are still at the phase where their donation is being considered. It's noteworthy how some people in the allied countries get critical about certain things only when Germany does or doesn't do them, other countries getting a "pass" when they do them. Ironically the reason for that seems to be to large part Russian anti-German propaganda and hybrid warfare that Russia has conducted on the western social media during the most of the 2000's. Unfortunately that influence campaign was successful, and many regular people in the west seem to have acquired a staying anti-German attitude because of that. They don't know where their attitude came from, and believe that it's based on their own consideration and observations.

I understand the west is worried about Ukraine becoming like their enemy but if the average Russian doesn’t feel like a missile could hit them at any moment, I’m not convinced they will have any real reason to make Putin accountable for his actions or that they will have the motivation required to pressure Putin to end this terrible war.

Best post ever

[@mikedittsche]

Though this channel is called interesting engineering, it missed the most interesting parts of engineering about the Taurus. One difference between the Taurus and Storm Shadow/SCALP is that Taurus uses a Turbofan engine while the latter uses a Turbojet engine. Turbofans are more efficient, allowing for a longer range with the same fuel tank. The Taurus can be programmed to penetrate several levels of a building and detonate on a specific floor. Its detonator has an inertial sensor that can feel how many floors it penetrates through and can count them. This makes Taurus perfect for penetrating through the road of a certain bridge and detonate at the pillars below.

[@bj6515]

In reality the most significant difference between the Storm Shadow/SCALP and the Taurus is that Ukraine has one type but not the other. I wouldn't be surprised if Ukraine gets the new upgraded SS/SCALP replacement before the Taurus shows up, if it ever does. As the old saying goes, 'The weapons you have may break my bones but dreams will never hurt me'.

Taurus KEPD350 was co-developed with Sweden and was qualified for the JAS 39 so hopefully they can get both in the future, and with the RBS15 the black sea fleet wouldn't dare leave port again, but then again the RBS15 can now also target land objectives so unless they build cope cages around the entire Sevastopol and the like - they are still not safe... I do however hope Ukraine quickly can build mountain bases for some of their coming planes.. I am no geologist but much of southwestern Ukraine seems very mountainous - yes it's far from the front but with JAS you can use highways during mission sorties and mountain bases at the end of the day so the pilots sleep good at night... Not to mention the other cool long range weapons like Meteor and GLSDB (whatever happened to those btw? still not on the market.

Very basic lesson for you in simple terms about what is and isn’t civilised. What isn’t civilised. Being a Kleptomaniac like Putin Murdering or imprisoning Putins political opponents Removing any sense of democracy from Russia and turning it into an authoritarian state. Eliminating any independent press in Russia Lying to the Russians about the reasons for the war. The Holodomor which many regard as genocide by the Russians against the Ukrainians. An estimated 5m died. The attempted assignation of President Yushchenko by Russian agents The use of machine guns against demonstrators by President Yanukovych The invasion and annexation of Crimea in 2014 by Russia despite the majority wanting to be part of Ukraine. The creation of The Wagner Group to infiltrate The Donbas pretending they were job seekers and attack Ukrainian security forces in 2014. Russia breaking every treaty including the treaty of Friendship which recognised Ukraine’s borders and under took not to use its territory to invade or harm their respective borders. Russia breaking the Minsk 1 and 2 agreements ( and cynically blaming Ukraine) and murdering about 350 Ukrainian servicemen using a pre agreed safe withdrawal corridor Russia pretending that ethnic Russian in The Donbas were in danger as they did in Georgia. Remember 85% of the Donbas voted to be part of Ukraine.Bear in mind that today you can speak Russian in Kiev without criticism and a third of Ukrainians speak Russian as their first language. The barbaric unprovoked invasion of Ukraine in 2021 The kidnapping of over 20,000 named children by Russia. (Ukraine claims 700,000 children are unaccounted for). Putin is of course a wanted man for this The bombing by Russia of hospitals and other medical facilities in Ukraine, (The Red Cross confirmed nearly 800 had been damaged in the first 6 months of the war). Russia used the same tactics of terror in Syria including bombing UN aid convoys. The bombing and targeting of residential blocks, theatres, civilian infrastructure, shopping centres, by Russia etc The extrajudicial killings of Ukrainian servicemen and civilians many with their hands tied on a scale which goes far beyond the excuse there are a few rogue units. I could go on but I think you get the point. So what is civilised. Putting in place democratic safe guards A fair and balanced society where the enormous wealth in natural resources in Russia would be shared more equally instead of with a few Oligarchs Reducing corruption to a minimum Having an independent judiciary and police Having a free press Following a reasonable Human Rights Charter Making politicians answerable and accountable for their decisions. Providing aid to those in need whether that’s help with food security, infections and diseases, economic aid or military aid where a country is under an illegal unjustified invasion.

[@DeeEight]

If ONLY Ukraine still had operational Mig-25s they could launch their guided bombs and cruise missiles from MUCH higher altitudes than their existing fighter-bombers can reach, and would thus extend their flight/glide range even further. Unfortunately there's nothing in western aircraft with comparable capability to them to donate, although... NASA has three WB-57Fs which are slated for retirement in the next couple years which could haul a 3ton payload in their bomb bays (currently used for scientific research payloads) up well past 60,000 feet. But an easier solution is probably paying scaled composites to design and build something for the task.

[@vandaminator1]

But at that high altitude they still would be detected by S300 and S400 SAM, MIG25 its obsolete airplane.

[@DeeEight]

@@vandaminator1 Yes but with the glide and flight range of those weapons, the higher you launch the further they can go. So just as the russians are launching airborne air to surface missiles from within Russian airspace, out of the reason of Ukraine's air defence systems which could target the launching aircraft if they were closer, Ukraine can do the same with these weapons, from within their own airspace out of reach of the russians. Take the british Brimstone missile for example, the range is about 50% greater if launched from a fixed wing aircraft like a Typhoon at altitude as opposed to a rotary wing close to the ground like an Apache.

I disagree. Deep penetration with this tandem warhead could be very helpful for taking out that bridge. That should probably not be changed. Surface damage can be easily paved over, a quick repair.

The engineering effort of designing, prototyping, validating, and then producing a modified warhead and smaller fuel tank is likely out of the question.

No anti air system is safe….. / if our Olaf Scholz is not slow as usual …. That would be an positiv asymmetric moment for Ukrain.

I've been reading about Chinese military weapons being used by Russia and suffering staggering failure rates. And other weapons systems also from China. I'm 59 and was raised hearing only junk is made in China. I guess it's true after all.

[@spaghbol4536]

You don't need a war to figure that out. When was the last time you were at home depot?

[@MikiCab1]

The West has sold China the technology to make 1st products. I have worked in China and managers of American and EU companies all would tell me that as soon or even before their manufacturing was up Chinese companies were knocking off their products. Also China required Technology transfers and Chinese Co-owership for a lot of companies before they could do business there.

[@r200ti]

Let us guess the source of the information was either the MSM or a state sponsored think tank? But yeh, China might be having Russia test some of there systems, what of it? The Russian systems have left NATO in sheer panic at there volume and accuracy. Russia can shoot down or jam most western systems at a fairly high hit rate. The west has no answer for anything Russia has (Russian drones are taking western armour at will, Russian missiles took out the patriot system on day 1 easily etc etc)

[@HiredGoonage]

Chinese and Russian engineering is generally copy cat, cheapest materials, poorly educated labor, and not made to last. No surprise

[@whitescar2]

For all the people who keep crying that Russia is at war with NATO: Consider that the west is putting so much more worry into making sure their weapons aren't used against Russia, but only Russians inside Ukraine, than actually arming Ukraine to beat Russia. Whenever weapon supplies to Ukraine are being discussed, the primary concern is: "How hard can we spank Russia today without them crying about it?" Russia, even though the aggressor, is being treated with more care and gentleness than Ukraine.

[@HiredGoonage]

they want to bleed out Russia and diminish it's military capabilities for a couple of decades. A regime change would be nice also, but unfortunately it's essentially a thug nation similar to the mafia

"The Taurus missile's tandem warhead, designed for maximum penetration and high sophistication in target optimization" I never knew Eminem wrote for channels like this.

[@chrissmith2114]

Storm Shadow / SCALP also have tandem BROACH warhead, and a range of 550 Km, so why should Ruzzia be more scared of Taurus ? The difference is that Ukraine already has SS / SCALP but is not likely to get Taurus from spineless Germany, still afraid to 'upset' Putin... maybe because Germany still get oil and gas from Putin despite sanctions....

[@bobjoatmon1993]

I believe that Ukraine had a pretty sophisticated aircraft industry prior to the war, a LOT of the old Soviet union aviation industry was in Ukraine. So since the US and European countries are putting restrictions on the systems they are providing I expect Ukraine to start producing something copying these cruse missiles in house soon

[@Nobody-Nowhere]

They wont as its way too complicated, and if they did.. those factories would be targeted in an instant.

[@bobjoatmon1993]

@@Nobody-Nowhere you obviously don't know much about modern aviation engineering or you wouldn't say it's too complicated. I am an aircraft mechanic, both Airframe & Piwerplant AND had lifelong participation in the Experimental Aircraft Association so I know how to build and repair PLUS I know that there's multiple software programs for designing aircraft that have been out for a decade or more. I also have a bit of knowledge about drone and RC aircraft that I know people with similar knowledge coukd use to make some type of cruise missiles. I've seen where the brain of a UAV was a regular cell phone because it has a lot of the capability of an autopilot with its GPS and position sensors and magnetic sensor plus air pressure /barometer/ altitude sensor. Yes, something at the level of the US cruise missiles or the British Storm Shadow might be a reach at this time but a simpler craft is definitely possible. As for targeting, dispersing manufacturing would certainly be necessary but it doesn't have to be some huge factory, a lot can be fabricated in small business spaces. I've built two, two person airplanes and one four person plane in a two car garage. One aluminum sheet metal (riveted) and the others composite

The thing is Ukraine should be building their own Cruise missile similar to Taurus or Scalp. They have Moto Sich building jet engines and Ukraine has already produced & used long range lawnmower drones. They already built the Neptune missile. So they have the capabilities, it's only a matter of time till they produce their own cruise missile.

Yes Ukraine was once Soviets best supplier of military and space materiel, they still have a lot of expertise, but with a range of over 300km the Nepture seem very capable - even on land targets....

I don't think the range is the issue. I bet they have no idea how to fire this missile from an Su24 and how to actively guide it. It's so advanced, that Ukraine would need more and special equipment to use it.
