On Sunday, the Ukrainian army fired at least four American-made Army Tactical Missile System precision rockets at NIP-16. Fires raged at the site through the night, and Planet satellite imagery from Monday seems to depict blast marks on the ground at the sprawling base.
Scientists surely would cringe at any damage to NIP-16 and its suite of hard-to-replace scientific instruments. Thousands of Soviet naval conscripts built the installation at a time when governments were pouring massive resources into space exploration.
I clicked to know from which battleship Soviets build that installation but that info wasn’t there, fucking clickbait headline.
Also, they are still shitting themselves in fear of the KAB bomb, a 50-year old weapon lmao.
Still, if they want to be play Russian Roulette, considering many a western spectator proclaims the nukes as a buff… they can have Russia wave their nukes at them…
hahahahahahhahhajahahhahahafhahahahahha…
NIP-16’s builders cobbled the hardware together from old railroad bridges, the hulls of decommissioned submarines and the rotating mechanism from a scrapped battleship.
If the US or one of its allies had built it a satellite station that way, you can bet the article would be talking about “recycling,” “earth-friendly building techniques,” “innovative use of former military hardware.”
Fuck around, find out. No sympathy for invaders.
That’s also Ukrainian heritage and an irreplaceable scientific marvel you blithering idiot.
I agree, no sympathy for the NATO invaders who overthrew Ukraine’s legitimate government. No sympathy for the invaders of Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yugoslavia, Somalia, and Haiti. No sympathy for the invaders and occupiers of Palestine.
You keep fucking around, and sooner or later (likely sooner at this rate) you’ll find out. Newsflash: the majority of the world hates you, and rightfully so.
Ukraine was part of the USSR, you moron
A founding member I might add.
And that installation was build on the territory of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic with no doubt many conscripts themselves Ukrainian (certainly not all cause large undertakings like this always had soldiers sent from all over the USSR)
someday you’re going to eat those words
Are they, though? Libs typically pretend they were on the right side of history after the conflict has ended. Or they just forget about it.
Maybe… when the pain comes home to roost just maybe
Maybe I’m offbase, but aren’t most so-called terror attacks in the west precisely that, the pain coming home to roost? And instead of thinking “hmm, I wonder how I could behave differently to help alleviate the perpetrator’s grievance” libs just go straight to “uncultured neanderthal swine did this and they’ll keep doing it until we bring civilization to them.”
I’m thinking more like when ww3 is in full swing and San Francisco is bombed into the ocean and the like
Surely, this time, libs will understand blowback…
I LOVE ETHNIC CLEANSING!!! I LOVE SHELLING MY EASTERNMOST REGIONS WITHOUT REMORSE!!! I LOVE NOT FACING THE CONSEQUENCES OF MY ACTIONS!
So you’re pro ethnic cleansing?
THIS TRULY IS A LIB DRIVE-THRU COMMENT MOMENT; WILL HE RETURN AND COMMENT? NOPE!
He’s busy hosting a celebration for his brave Resistance against the Republican Tankie Fascist Wumaos.
I would expect more from a 37 year old…
idiot
Agreed. The Kiev Regime needs to leave the people of East Ukraine alone.
