• Ukrainian forces took out more than 100 Russian soldiers with an ATACMS missile, per OSINT analysts.
  • Four ATACMS were used to target the group, one analyst said.
  • The soldiers would have been out of reach of Ukraine’s shorter-range ATACMS missiles.

A Ukrainian ATACMS long-range missile strike killed more than 100 Russian soldiers in an occupied region 50 miles from the front line, according to OSINT and military analysts.

Ukrainian forces targeted a Russian military training area some 50 miles behind the front line in the occupied Luhansk Oblast in eastern Ukraine, per an assessment by The Institute for the Study of War.

According to two aerial geolocated videos posted on Wednesday by X user Osinttechnical, an account affiliated with the Centre for Naval Analyses, Ukraine appeared to strike the training area with three US-supplied M39 ATACMS tactical ballistic missiles.

    If they imperialistically invade Canada/Mexico and rape and torture both civilians and military alike, then of course I would.

    And before you ask: I’d wish the same if my country ever did the same to one of our neighbors. My principles are the same regardless.

    Did you expect a different answer?

      yeah i expected you to say that you would celebrate the deaths of any soldiers who kill innocent people, but you very specifically only care about those who invade neighboring countries.

      do you celebrate the deaths of the some 15k US soldiers who died in the Mexican-American war?

        Giving an example that matches the current conflict is not restricting caring to only that scenario.

          They gave a specific example to a broad question so yeah, it’s avoiding a response to my question.
