Yeah, if this trajectory continues it has the real potential to accelerate a heck of a lot faster and be more far reaching than August 1914....

Housecarl, the West is intentionally baiting Russia, which has to be part of the plan to start world war three and kill off several BILLION innocents.
Sealing Kalingrad is an act of clinical lunacy indicating a desire for suicide or a level of arrogant evil that will result in nuclear exchanges down the road.
One group, the EU is backing off to avoid freezing next winter and another, apparently led by lithuania
has also apparently decided their 12,000 person military can hold off Russia's hordes.
One Western group wants war biden, and another, the EU doesn't.

This is why I think Russia will just get tired of all this
and just crush us with a first strike and be done with western bs.

A Russian Kinzhal missile at 12,000 kilometers per hour, 10 times faster than sound, was used today to destroy a Ukrainian weapons depot 136 meters underground. The video shows the amazement of an American reporter who witnessed this

The comments about the war being the US is supplying the Ukes with all sorts of intel that is allowing them to defeat the Ruskies has really been one sided. Seldom, if ever, was Russia's ability to have equal intel on the Ukes, such as you just mentioned. Certainly, they have satellites, spies on the ground, electronic intel and the works. And yes, one of the greatest enemies one can have is their own stupid use of a cell phone.
I'd say you hit the nail square in it head!!

Indeed, all of the above are accurate. Our military and perhaps some of us here will be on the receiving end of weapons like that or worse very soon. Lunacy rules these lands.

Looks fake according to comments its from a youtube video
I don't see those comments.
Three biggest reasons it would be fake is a) an American cameraman b) being set up in the correct location to capture the event c) displaying an object traveling 12,000 mph without slowing the video
it would not be the first time fake video showed up on this thread
28 min r/t
first 20 minutes, good strategic analysis of use of artillery on both sides, last 8, hi res unit analysis with maps of fighting up to 6/19.
I'll bet that turns out to be a fake video?

Lithuania Bans Transit Of Sanctioned Russian Goods To Kaliningrad
Lithuania has begun a ban on the rail transit of goods subject to European Union sanctions to the Russian far-western exclave of Kaliningrad, transport authorities in the Baltic nation said on June 18.
The EU sanctions list includes coal, metals, construction materials, and advanced technology.
Anton Alikhanov, the governor of the Russian oblast, said the ban would cover around 50 percent of the items that Kaliningrad imports.
Alikhanov said the region, which has an ice-free port on the Baltic Sea, will call on Russian federal authorities to take tit-for-tat measures against the EU country for imposing the ban. He said he would also seek to have more goods sent by ship to the oblast.
The cargo unit of Lithuania's state railways service set out details of the ban in a letter to clients following "clarification" from the European Commission on the mechanism for applying the sanctions.
Previously, Lithuanian Deputy Foreign Minister Mantas Adomenas said the ministry was waiting for "clarification from the European Commission on applying European sanctions to Kaliningrad cargo transit."
The commission stated that sanctioned goods and cargo should still be prohibited even if they travel from one part of Russia to another but through EU territory.
The European Union, United States, and others have set strict sanctions on Moscow for its unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.
The ministry did not comment on the issue following the state railway confirmation.
Russia's Baltic Sea exclave of Kaliningrad, sandwiched between Lithuania and Poland, became part of the Soviet Union after World War II. It has a population of about 430,000 people and hosts the headquarters of Russia's Baltic sea fleet.

in the Marines we used to see u s. marine m60 tanks on hasty built dirt ramps elevated and firing 105 rifled bore main guns being used as 105 howitzer high angleTo wring out all of the potential range of a tank gun like the smooth bore 115 mm (all the projectiles are fin stablized) on the T-62 the vehicle would need to be on an incline to further elevate the main gun (there's a picture some place of a platoon of US Sherman tanks in Korea being used in that manner). That, a level, a protractor, a piece of string and a weight along with comms and good target and firing location data and they're in business.
There's no auto loader on the T-62 so that's one less thing to worry about but it will be an entirely different logistical stream to keep them running and their guns fed.

Description
This is the Russian 115mm OF-18 (ОФ-18), a high-explosive (HE), fragmentation, fin stabilised projectile produced for the U-5TS 2A20 of T-62 main battle tank gun. The projectile body is made of steel and has an aluminium tail with four fins screwed to its base. The projectile is fuzed with the W-429E impact fuze, which is either super quick or has a short-delay that can be set by rotating the screw on the side of the fuze 90 degrees. The steel case is galvanized and has an electrically activated primer in the base. The case is filled with powder sticks, locked up by means of cardboard spacers on top. A roll of lead wire, acting as a decoppering agent is placed between the two spacers on top of the main powder charge. With the newer T-64 tank, the case was replaced with a separately loaded case for the automatic loader. The main gun was then re-designated U-5TS 2A21 with the 115mm calibre remaining. Additional images and technical information are available to CAT-UXO members.

Russia Demands Lithuania Lift "Openly Hostile" Blockade; Panic Buying Ensues
by Tyler Durden
Monday, Jun 20, 2022 - 10:01 AM
Update (1100ET): The Russian Foreign Ministry has responded to Lithuania's partial blockade of Kaliningrad, writing in a statement that they consider the "provocative measures" to be "openly hostile" and warning that the Kremlin may take action to "protect its national interests."
Kaliningrad is sandwiched between the EU and NATO members Poland and Lithuania. Supplies from Russia are delivered via rail and gas pipelines through Lithuania - which announced last week that it was banning the rail transit of goods subject to EU sanctions, which include coal, advanced technology, metals and construction materials.
"If in the near future cargo transit between the Kaliningrad region and the rest of the territory of the Russian Federation through Lithuania is not restored in full, then Russia reserves the right to take actions to protect its national interests," the statement reads.
They have demanded that Lithuania immediately lift the ban on a number of goods to the Kaliningrad region.
Earlier Monday, the Kremlin called Lithuania's announcement "unprecedented" and "in violation of everything there is."
"The situation is more than serious and it requires a very deep analysis before formulating any measures and decisions," said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov in a statement to the press.
Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis said they were simply complying with sanctions imposed by the EU, and that they were taken after "consultation with the European Commission and under its guidelines."
"Sanctioned goods (will) no longer be allowed to transit Lithuanian territory," he added.
Kaliningrad governor Anton Alikhanov says that the ban, which was confirmed on Friday, affects roughly 50% of all imports. He urged citizens not to panic-buy...
...to no avail.
* * *
Quite possibly the biggest Russia-West provocation of the entire four-month long war in Ukraine has occurred this weekend, but few in the media establishment seem to be taking notice of the singular event which has the potential to quickly spiral toward a WW3 scenario.
Baltic EU/NATO member Lithuania has implemented a ban on all rail transit goods going to Russia's far-western exclave of Kaliningrad, after transport authorities initially announced the provocative measure on Friday. "The EU sanctions list notably includes coal, metals, construction materials and advanced technology, and Alikhanov said the ban would cover around 50% of the items that Kaliningrad imports," Reuters wrote.
This has given way to fears of panic buying breaking out in Kaliningrad Oblast, which is Russian sovereign territory on the Baltic Sea, but which is sandwiched between Lithuania and Poland, and is thus reliant on overland shipping for passage via its EU neighbors.
Anton Alikhanov, the governor of the Russian oblast which has a total population of some one million people (with Kaliningrad city including almost 450,000 - and 800,000 total if outlying suburbs are counted) is urging calm:
Russian officials and media have long warned against what they dubbed Western aims to "blockade" Kaliningrad. Crucially, the EU enforcement measure being implemented from Vilnius marks a complete break in a three decade long treaty that's been in effect...
Ahead of the new Lithuanian transit ban taking effect, the state railways service was reportedly awaiting final word from the European Commission on enforcing it:
Brussels then ruled that "sanctioned goods and cargo should still be prohibited even if they travel from one part of Russia to another but through EU territory," according to Rueters/Rferl.
In Moscow's eyes, this is tantamount to laying economic siege to part of Russia's sovereign territory and one million of its citizens. When the EU first proposed the blockage of goods as part of the last major sanctions package in early April, Kremlin officials warned of war given Moscow would have to "break the blockade" for the sake if its citizens.
According to an April 6th statement in Russia's TASS by a state Duma official:
Kaliningrad's governor Alikhanov has already called on Russian federal authorities to prepare tit-for-tat measures against Lithuania in wake of the transit ban.
"These steps are illegal and may entail far-reaching implications for Lithuania and the European Union. In particular, I would like to quote a few paragraphs from the Joint Statement on EU Enlargement, with references to international agreements, the documents which both the European community and the Russian Federation acceded to," Alikhanov said Saturday.
Additionally he cited a key condition that was part of Lithuania’s 2004 accession to the EU. He quoted the prior agreement saying that the Baltic state "will apply in practice the principle of freedom of transit of goods, including energy, between the Kaliningrad Region and the rest of Russian territory."
"In particular, we confirm that there shall be freedom of such transit, and that the goods in such transit shall not be subject to unnecessary delays or restrictions and shall be exempt from customs duties and transit duties or other charges related to transit," Alikhanov quoted the Joint Statement further as saying

Stoli® Group Denounces Russian Aggression and Shares History of Opposition
Stoli® Group has a long history of fighting the Russian regime. We unequivocally condemn the military action in Ukraine and stand in support of the Ukrainian people.
“The safety and security of our Ukrainian team is our top priority. We are monitoring the situation closely and are already moving swiftly and decisively to provide support where needed, both to our people on the ground as well as partners,” noted Damian McKinney, Global CEO, Stoli® Group. “While we do not have any operations in Russia, we do in Ukraine and across many of the bordering countries.”
“I have personally experienced persecution by Putin’s regime and I share the pain of Ukraine and its people,” said Mr Shefler, Founder, Stoli® Group.
After purchasing the struggling business in 1997, Shefler transformed Stoli® vodka into a global vertically integrated company. In 2000, in one the first examples of the regime identifying a valuable asset and attempting to wrest control of it, Putin waged a battle for Stoli ® vodka trademarks across the world. This is still ongoing in some countries. Yuri Shefler left Russia in 2002 and has not returned since.
When all else failed, the regime established FKP Soyuzplodoimport (also known as FTE Soyuzplodoimport), a Russian state-company created in 2002 to attack trademark rights around the world. Based in Moscow, FKP sells an inferior Russian product called Stolichnaya in very limited markets. The product is easily distinguishable from Stoli® Group’s as the label clearly states made in Russia. Stoli® Group has no connection to this product in both production and ideology. FKP may not sell their product in 150 countries around the world, including the United States, where we own the trademark rights and where only our Latvian produced vodka can be lawfully sold.
“For decades, Stoli® Group has resisted Putin’s regime. We stand now with all Ukrainians and Russians calling for peace,” said McKinney.

Ukraine is trying to ensure Nuclear Power will be the fallback scenario. Doesn’t necessarily mean it will involve a reactor.

Yep. How would one set up a camera (on a tripod, BTW) perfectly centered before the hit, to capture the event so perfectly? And missile would have to have slowed considerably before strike in order to be recorded like this. The explosion and mushroom cloud sure look like a later-added feature. Plus not an accurate timing of the sound vs video of the strike being way too soon to match the likely range from camera
