Those HIMARS have a lot of balls
Yeah, as many as 90,000 men, to be precise 🤣
@@christophneuschaeffer7489 I think we'll stick to the HIMARS if it's all the same to you. Not sure we can fire 90,000 men at a Tor system even if we wanted too.
🤣🤣🤣
Small ones....but effective...😂
@@AlanToon-fy4hgsize doesn't matter, it is all about how you use them!
The SAM didn't hit the drone because it wasn't an airliner or a Russian aircraft.
With a Putin adversary on board.

Or a flying children's hospital
@@theProntotoo late, they've been told by the tv what happened. They haven't worked out since 2018 everything that box tells them Is rubbish,,dangerouse rubbish in some cases.✌️
@@peterdeans4635 no body ever thought the russians were a smart people
Fun Fact -- you'll hear Russian fanboys brag about "we can detect American stealth aircraft". Sigh. That doesn't mean they can target those low-observable platforms. So being able to detect it means that they have time to kiss their backside good-bye. Just like this case.
But there aren't any in the conflict anyway, at least none on 'our' side. F-16s are no stealthier than a MiG 29, possibly less. Cheers.
Russia couldn't find it's backside with both hands, let alone a US stealth aircraft.
Russian stuff couldn't even detect french rafales in syria few years ago. They entered syrian airspace with impunity and left unpunished, and they are not even "stealthy".

@@UncleJoeLITE that may be but the Russians nevertheless brag about it. See, the Russian companies in the defense industry are state owned. So they channel with their TV propaganda the narrative of their allegedly superior weapons, claiming to their buyers that Russian weapons can even defeat western air forces (which they cannot)
The drone held up a red cape to the side and the missile took the bait. 🐂
How do you say "¡Ole!" in Ukrainian?
It was probably a yellow painted door, though.
Went from "toro!" to tore up.
With a hospital painted on it
Like a Moth to a flame....What a Wonderful sight.....God Bless Ukraine from the UK..xx
👍
I like that
If only the drone were hospital-size... it would've been hit 10/10 times.
More… if a kids’ hospital.
even if it were the size of a plane or Helo it would have likely been a hit. either due to it just being a larger target to home in on, or the larger mass causing a proximity fuse to detonate instead of wiz right past it.
@@mtnbound2764jokes aren’t your forte I take it?
I don't think Russian arms sales will ever recover. They have failed spectacularly at almost every opportunity.
No, they're sunk and don't look to be coming back anytime soon
You are right. It is all useless junk
Right now they don't have arms to sell anyway. They even need ammunition from North Korea, drones from Iran and mercenaries from Africa and Asia. The mighty Russian Army has disgraced itself for 870 days in a row since the start of their war against Ukraine. An operation, they thought would be over in 3 days.
Well, they will always be able to sell to nations that can't buy from Western sources due to sanctions and embargos. But China and possibly also India are gradually taking over in that trade.
The Russian arms industry has no capacity for exports, as all production goes to the war. Not that other countries would now buy anything! That is another source of income lost.
Drone: "Do it, you won't" 😛
Tor: "Imma do it" 😠
Himars: "There you are.. " 😁🚀
I instinctively heard Himars in the Portal turret voice.
Himars; "Hold my balls"
I remember in the Army we had a "live fire day" with stingers but we where out of the standard targets so larger radio controlled "model plane" was used.
But those things just did not have the size and signature for even a small nimble stinger to hit.
It lock on fine but fly past really close. It was counted as a "hit" but those things was simply too small.
Looks like it is the same here, the radar can just target the drone but it clearly is too small for the missile to hit or trigger proximity sensor.

Russian Sam system working perfectly with them computer chips from looted washing machines 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m not sure what’s more comical - the pathetic performance of Ivan’s air “defenses” or the potential situation of the air defense crews abandoning their equipment at the sight of a spotter drone because they know what’s coming.
Let's just stand back and appreciate just how cool that looked with the smoke trail and shadow 😎
More likely it gave me a killer laugh! 🤭
shame there is no soundtrack of the awesome doppler effect
Russian soldiers looking to speed up the end of the war might be inclined to hide it in the open.
Sabotage is a matter of all wars. It wouldn't be unreasonable to think the Orcs may have taken it to a new level.
Sure it happens. But not in this case. The crew stuck around long enough to fire a couple of missiles.
It is a radar sight. It needs a clear line of sight to function. They can't be camouflaged. They are just supposed to intercept the missiles coming towards it. In fact, the patriot systems likes it when you target it.
@@NemesisoftheGrandPoohbahputin i wonder if they ran out.
@@mtnbound2764 He said crew abandoned . . . But maybe not all.
Here's a quick note for you all. Forbes are saying that Russian loses of the T72 and the T-90 are so high that the T-62 is now Russia's main battle tank. I somehow don't think the US will follow suit and be replacing the M1 with the M60.
This would be like the US using the m103 heavy tank😅 pretty soon Russia will be *(asking) North Korea and China for tanks
Axing?
That's heavy duty asking, with weapons

Wild weasel drones!
Mostly likely, the crew ran out of vodka and went to find another bottle.
Ahh, the trademark classic of a tor system missing a spotter drone. Thanks for your constant efforts, Mr. Suchomimus!
That is an awesome view of the SAM launch & track!
If it was abandoned, it's a pity about the crew.
ruzzia one time claimed they could not intercept US tomahawks in Syria because of Earth's curvature, I think this is the same excuse they will make.
Darn physics that everyone else has figured out, isn't easy for the Orcs.
Propaganda. The Earth is flat. You can see that in an atlas. Russian atlas best in the World. Nowhere in Russian atlas is there a place called Ukraine.
And believe it or not, it was true. The earths curvature did prevent the radar from seeing the tomahawks in time.

Good job Lads!!!
Thank you for the update
The operators didn’t need more balls.
Tor becomes a holey relic.
LoL, I got that!
One Tungsten perforation a day keeps the doctor away.
The russians are still trying to figure out how to keep the undertaker away.
This is one of those epic clips. The BF looks diff now with all those drones and its cool to see. btw keep up the great work u do Suchomimus.

Da ru weapon Industry is taking a cold shower right in the middle of a Hot Summer!
Good news. Thank you!!😊
Russia goes low (by hitting a children's hospital with a cruise missile) and Ukraine goes Hi(Mars).
I wonder what price a proximity fuse gets on the black market.
A drone is probably too small to trigger it anyway. It's likely made for much heavier objects with more metal in them.
Where do you think the battery colonel is selling them.
The figure is only approximate.
They were aiming for the bird flying near the drone because the crew was hungry and needed something to eat. We all know putin doesn't feed his troops.
Thank you, Suchomimus, for another excellent analysis. Greetings to 👑Muffin 🐰🥕
🇺🇦 Перемоги та миру всім українцям! 🇺🇦
Thanks. Slava Ukraini
The first counter fire still threw up ground dust around and a bit beyond the TOR so it would have taken some BBs from it, but the second definitely shredded it. I am surprised there was no cook off. Either luck or that was its last missile.
I suspect the first HIMARS missile warhead (182K tungsten pellets) took out the Tor SAM's EW capacity, which enabled the second HIMARS missile to score that bull's-eye.
The drone was probably too small to activate the missile proximity fuse.
Thanks. Scary footage. Miles away and only seconds to respond.
Serious pucker moment for the drone operator. 😂
Not like he would get injured.
@@Jay.Kellett well, no, but have you ever played videogames?
SAM failed to say HI when his MAR came to call.
Thank you so 👏🏻👏🏻🇳🇱♥️🇺🇦♥️🇬🇪♥️🇬🇧♥️🇺🇸♥️🇪🇺♥️
Thank you very much for sharing this fundraiser with us.
Love your dry wit mate, keep it up, never miss one of your posts.
We can't discount Russian incompetance. Maybe they moved the Tor system a bit and then assumed they were no longer observed.
Also very telling is the use of 2 HIMARS rounds, indicating the high priority given to targeting SAM systems. Ukraine obviously has a good supply of Tungsten rounds.
As someone else in the comments has said, this is a drone led SEAD operation (suppression of enemy air defences).
Given all the stories in Western media saying that a lot of Western equipment is not working. Due to electronic warfare stopping it working correctly. That could be true, but a whole lot of western equipment is still going past ruzzians defences
They want to take them out before the F-16s turn up in theater.
@@abrahamdozer6273 It certainly seems like UAF is prioritizing Russian anti-air assets.
It's also interesting because Russian doctrine prioritizes a high adoption of GBAD to compensate for their inability to compete equally with NATO airpower. So the high level of attrition of Russian AD systems that Ukraine has inflicted, mostly using only fairly limited western donations, is really quite something.
The system failed to hit the drone, but it did find Waldo.

I have seen so many of these videos of Russian Sam's missing the target I guess the proximity fuse is not able to pick up the Drone this happened so much you would think after a while they would stop firing on these little drones and just run
HIMARS a day keeps the Orcs at bay!
for use on Orcs, all balls are quality controlled using Orchidometers ..... lookit up :
The crew abandoned it.................the story of the Russian army.
Given the record of success of these units, wouldn't you?
ruzzia is a joke
i bet it ran out of munitions.
@@michaelccozens depends on the circumstances, if you’re trying to engage some thing that the TOR was designed to engage… you’ve got a very good chance of hitting it, but trying to shoot down something half the size of the guidance lockout….. meaning trying to engage something smaller than the system was built to track….. You might as well just run away now because the missiles are intentionally designed not to track targets that small to avoid bird strikes.
Thank you good sir.
I think this was not a failure of the SAM system, but an excellent work of the drone operator.
If the operator sees an incoming missile, he can wait for the right moment when the missile is close enough and then make a full throttle sideway evasive maneuver. Thus skilful drone operators are able to dodge rockets, and I think this is the case.
@@Rivas21 I'm not sure this is what happened. That missile was moving pretty fast and it appeared to be going in a dead straight line, straight past the drone. I don't think the drone operator had time to react.
@@herseem You can see the tilt of the drone moments before the rocket flyby, which is indicative of the drone moving sideways in the moment. It was done by the drone operator. You can not see the side movement directly on the background bcoz the drone is pretty high and the ground cant be indicative, but indicative is the drone tilt. I think the operator was doing the evasive maneuver.
@@Rivas21 Just air movement buffeting the drone as it goes past.
This is not WW2. Missiles explode a distance before the target to disperse a cone of shrapnel.
@@EditioCastigata may be you dont know all the rusian rockets they use..
It appears that the Tor fired TWO missiles at the spotter. The smoke trails around 0:17 look different.
That's what i'm thinking too! Which makes it even worse from the russian standpoint! 😂😂😂✌
Think you may have mis-typed there. 0:17 is the HIMARS strike, so I'm not sure what you're referring to in terms of a Tor-missile smoke-trail.
If you were referring to the two distinct sections of the Tor-missile trail in the footage a few seconds earlier, I think you're right about the difference in appearance, but I think (NB: I'm not an expert) that's down to how the single missile fired is designed, ie with a "pop-up" charge to get it clear of the launcher, then a stabilization and orientation burst to get it facing the right direction, at which point the main booster is free to accelerate the missile towards the target without melting the thing launching it in the process. Similar to ship- or sub-borne missiles.
@@michaelccozens I went through it frame by frame. A black missile whizzes past at 0:12, another black missile at 0:15. Perhaps it is the same missile footage spliced in again, though the white smoke tracks look different.
Tks
Cda.
They put the smart Russians on the crews for these things. They've learned to park the vehicle and run like hell.
Your video's are excellent,as is your sense of humour 👌
"Shoot steady like your life depends on it" in HIMARS country it just might...
There is also some good news for the Russians here: After the Himars strike their Tor system does not work a lot worse than before. So no harm done - you cannot really destroy crap, can you?
Impressive that the Ukrainians got spotter drones 60km into enemy territory
There are a lot of Western supplied drones. 😃
could also be a very small spec ops team running missions super deep into enemy territory
Looks like the spread on the first one covered the TOR
Bravo!
I guess we can say that was no decoy
Close but no cigar, you'll have to settle for a cigarette!
Well whaddayaknow, another Ruzzian SAM system that can't defend itself against anything. Gotta admit, I've only seen that happen a dozen times. THIS WEEK. 😄
Love the embedded tongue in cheek humor
What air defense doing?
Having a big ole 'Wodka party'. Then filming themselves later pleading to putin to do something.

Putin terlalu banyak membual.
I think TOR missile warhead proximity fuses are tuned for civilian airliners.
I thought the drones were largely plastic, how does a TOR see it?
Plastic won't make it invisible. Rotating blade will probably make it more detectable.
i guess this is quiet a big drone, which would have a heat signature too.
That drone sure knows some manuevers.
Tor was just trying to scare the drone. Glory to Ukraine
And the oligarch who's company designed this system sits on his luxury yacht & just laughs at this video clip.
Tungstenized equipment becomes very hard....to use.
Quality control manager of 'Novo-Sibersk Electrial Spark Plug Candle Concern':
"Olga, you gad one job!"
I guess non metallic lightweight materials in long range winged spotter drones failed to trigger proximity fuse in AA missile.
It needs a little blue pill. Nice call out on the most famous tin of dog food ❤❤❤
Andrei, you lost ANOTHER Tor?
Well, to be honest......we know exactly where it is. Just not in good shape though.
@@Jay.Kellettdefinitely not the same shape it was when it left the factory
💛🔱💙 Slava Ukraini! Heroyam Slava! ❤️☠️🖤
A reference to Shegar , nice
I mean we’ve seen Russia’s SAM systems do their jobs well enough against commercial airliners
It didn't hit the drone, because it's not a children's hospital
I'm sure it has occured to Poots that his best weapon options are 'Made in China'. And even they will only do some back-door deals to send ammunition.
Actually pretty rad footage
I suppose spotter drones are too little for TOR missile's proximity sensors. It technically not "missing", TOR's rockets overpass close enough but just don't explode when needed. Probably just because TOR was developed based on technical specifications formulated based on wars of previous eras when there were no such small drones
Finding Sherger is more likely, for 'state of the art" defence systems. A man with a shield would be better!
Hm , with that many wreks in the terrain it could be possible to hide in the open dressed as a wreck
Drones have a minimal IR and RCS, so they are hard to both see and hit.
you notice the cooling towers? there is a smoke stack, it's a coal plant most likely
Running out of fuel is real possibility. Those things don't really have high mpg, and Ukraine has disrupted Russian fuel infra a lot. Leaving the vehicle for safety is also a possibility if they were smart. Get out of vehicle, wait at safe distance for either spotter drone to leave or vehicle to get destroyed.
Finding Shergar 😄
Vith such a short range - it is likely guarding something valuable close by - something that is now easier to attack with drones
Their samovars are better quality than their weapons 😂😂😂
So called samovar in not Muscovite either, it was invented by the Chinese.
@@betterdonotanswer i learn something new every day mate 😄 thanks for info 👌
Wild weaseling with a drone xD
Hey… is that a pair of cooling towers?
Having your defense score own goal on your power plant is epic!
Yikes!
😃
To be fair, the SAM proximity fuses will have been set to only detonate for stronger radar reflections than you will get off a small drone. That would explain their failure in this case.
Those balls are molten and go thru everything.
Small drones are a big issue for legacy SAM system’s. Just too small to trigger the systems warhead activation. You can be sure engineers are already on the case, but right now, drones have an advantage. Don’t think it will be long before anti-drone SAM systems are being deployed.
I hope however is in charge in the US right now takes control of the situation soon and I ends this conflict once and for all. If the West were serious we would have had the conclusion 2 years ago.
Ukraine is in charge. Trump is just a gasbag. Europe will not abandon Ukraine even if America does.
