Seems to prove how imprecise and random the russian strikes are. They clearly have run out of precision missiles.
- KptMarchewa 4y agoThey deliberately target civilian buildings and areas to sow terror.
- cm2187 4y agoI am pretty sure they are not deliberately targeting a random samsung R&D center. They may do a deliberate random shelling of civilians but I don’t think this is the work of a precision strike.
- KptMarchewa 4y agoIn this case, they probably deliberately targeted cogeneration power plant that's on the other side of the street across Samsung building: 50.43989630439777, 30.495928103654656
- soco 4y agoAnd completely missed it?
- KptMarchewa 4y agoThat's your famous russian precision missle engineering.
- dagw 4y agoOff topic (but a pet peeve of mine), but why are you describing the location of a building in nanometer precision?
- KptMarchewa 4y agoThat's what Google Maps copy by default. It would require me to purposefully delete some of the numbers and decrease precision, and I'm not sure what purpose would it fulfill.
- ch4s3 4y agoSeems insane given the discrediting of this kind of civilian targeting after WWII, where it was clearly demonstrated to increase a population’s willingness to keep fighting.
- ncmncm 4y agoImputing rational behavior might be a mistake in this instance. But more likely, the actually intended target was something nearby, and we hear about Samsung because we (are assumed to) have more interest in Samsung.
- tablespoon 4y ago> ...and we hear about Samsung because we (are assumed to) have more interest in Samsung. Or there's more propaganda/strategic value in portraying Samsung as being deliberately attacked. Samsung seems like it's a kind of "national champion," and maybe an attack against it will be felt somewhat like an attack against South Korea itself. Also they're a supplier of advanced electronics and electronic components, so turning the corporation against Russia would be valuable in disrupting Russian supply chains.
- KptMarchewa 4y agoBut that's what internal russian population demands. As soon as it's clear they are losing on the battlefield and are unable to capture Ukraine, they at least want to destroy it economically.
- uni_rule 4y agoYeah, you can tell be all the people trying to get the fuck out of there that witnessing this really does fill them with glorious patriotic bloodlust.
- sidibe 4y agoFor a fraction of the others yes it does. And that is a loud fraction, which also completely controls the media. Putin had to make the Ukrainians hurt at this point because his minions are whipped into such a fervor from recent defeats
- risyachka 4y agoThey never had really precise missiles. And the missiles they use now were not precise even in ww2 standards.
- schappim 4y agoWhy? What are the main limitations for precision? US switching off GPS? Glonass not up to the job? Is it a speed thing? Hard to get a position lock? Do you really need ultra accurate precision IMUs to compensate? So many questions…
- ElectricalUnion 4y agoGPS and Glonass are useless if you don't have reconnaissance to show where to strike. Might as well fire in a ballistic manner. You actually do need "ultra accurate precision IMUs" to not miss my several miles, if it can't be radar/infrared steered.
- ajuc 4y agoIt's intended. They know perfectly well how imprecise the missiles are, so they target center-of-population density basically. Then at least something will be hit.
- ak_111 4y agoBrings to mind Israel's frequent bombing of Gaza. They might have more precise missiles, but the the human density in Gaza is much greater, leading to more deaths, you can hardly blow a dynamite without bringing a whole building down.
- madspindel 4y agoRussia is a terror state so I'm not really sure if they have run out of precision missiles...

- vonwoodson 4y agoI’d never question Russian intelligence Or military capabilities. Nothing they say can be taken at face value, nothing they do can either. These guys are chess masters, after all. I don’t want to make it sound, and any way that I like these assholes, I mean Fuck Putin. These pricks are incapable of even understanding decent human behavior, and have spread so many lies that I’m pretty convinced they have lost grip on reality and truth. That having been said, everything about this illegal Ukraine invasion is tainted with spy games and propaganda. Dead “civilians”? Targeting Samsung? Inaccurate weapons? I don’t buy any of it. When it comes to this conflict, it’s a matter of faith: do you think The Nations who stand against (that asshole) Putin are good and justified? If so, then just keep the faith and don’t trust what you read. The alternative is to subject yourself to a carnival ride of fake news and lies that will leave your head spinning.
- squidbeak 4y agoI'm curious, why don't you buy that there are civilian casualties from missiles striking major conurbations?
- yetihehe 4y agoFrom grandparent: "I don’t buy any of it. When it comes to this conflict, it’s a matter of faith: do you think The Nations who stand against (that asshole) Putin are good and justified? If so, then just keep the faith and don’t trust what you read. The alternative is to subject yourself to a carnival ride of fake news and lies that will leave your head spinning." Old tactic from Goebbels, spread lies and facts evenly, so that no one believes ANY facts from any side anymore, people are effectively demoralised. You can see the effect of that tactics in vonwoodson's and many others' posts. Maybe we will have antidote for that after this war, but I doubt it.
- ddalex 4y agoJust like Goebbels found out, and these guys will find out too, this only works if the audience is not deeply interested in the subject. For someone interested, the perpetrator only looks foolish. And Ukraine is doing a great job of keeping the worldwide people interested and on their side .
- tibbydudeza 4y agoThey ran out of their top tier surface to surface missiles and can't make new ones so they now mainly switched now using S300 anti-aircraft missiles which has a ground attack option but terrible accuracy.
- coolspot 4y agoS300 wasn’t used in this raid.
