M270 MLRS firing during Desert Storm, 1991

Akarok egy felfújható M270 MLRS-t

On Sunday Putin lobbed some missiles at Kyiv in response to reports that NATO will be giving Ukraine longer range missiles. In return, the UK Ministry of Defence announced via Twitter that it’s sending M270 multiple-launch rocket systems (MLRS) to Ukraine.

The M270 can strike targets 80 km/50 miles away. So while they can’t exactly hit the Putin Palace they are capable of hitting Russian invaders deep into Ukrainian territory currently controlled by the occupiers. 

There have been rumors that Russia may attempt another offensive aimed at Kyiv. The M270 would make that rather difficult.

Ukraine’s existence depends on continuing support from friends. While Ukraine is defending democracy against totalitarianism, we need to keep defending Ukraine.

Hi there, I decided to continue with ukrainian artillery  after the recent Panzerhaubitze 2000 build. This time it is a battle worn M270 MLRS. I chose to do a british version with the smoke launchers at the front of the cabin. As far as I know M270s haven been supplied by the US, UK, Germany, France and Norway. So there is a wide variety of slightly different features in the ukrainian fleet. 

One detail that intrigues on  me on ukrainian vehicles are the homemade camo nets. These look like the british WW2 Hessian tape just with a much wider variety of colors, "tex-aid" tape so to say. In 2022 they were often the only camo material on AFVs, recently on Bradleys for example they are often mixed with Nato type camo nets of various sorts.

The MLRS body is made from aluminium, so there is no rust there. However some parts like the launcher are made out of steel and show charring and heat burn induced rusting at the front, which gets hit by the rocket flame jet. By contrast the back of the launcher shows no burn marks because it is not exposed to the flame jet of starting missiles. 

The kit is Dragon's mid 90ies offering, so I had to use the "mud solution" to hide the chevron tracks (current M270s use the big foot track).

Samsung SGH-X427m and X507 dumped, plus a modified SPH-M270 firmware shipping on a prepaid carrier device..?

I know posting has been slow, but rest assured phone preservation has shown no signs of slowing down!

Some new firmware dumps as of late:

Samsung SGH-X427m, version X47MUCDI3 (incomplete; 8 of 16MB)

Samsung SGH-X507, version X507UCFC2. A previously undumped model!

Samsung SPH-M270, version FA10 on Virgin Mobile. Read on for the story of the previous FA10 dump…

The previous Samsung SPH-M270 dump was done on an unsuspecting device with a Q Link Wireless sticker on it, and appeared to be based on an existing Virgin Mobile firmware, itself still having some Sprint remains. It wasn't put into question until the phone in question had much less restrictions compared to any Virgin Mobile feature phone, including a working Qualcomm Diagnostic port as well as working test dial codes (such as the ##2739# BREW code). When known BREW contributor kraze1984 picked up his own M270, he noted that none of the dial codes which worked on the Q Link device worked on his, and that it only allowed for an MTP connection when plugged into a PC. One JTAG dump later, and it was found that every single mention of Virgin Mobile was replaced with "Phone", resulting in the phrase "You may need to contact Phone" being found on the modified firmware. It is yet to be known who made the modifications to the M270 firmware for Q Link Wireless, or why they even bothered to do such…

Last but certainly not least, thank you to MC4f for the recent donations and krzbrew for dumping the stock SPH-M270! I hope to be able to share info on a very interesting reference device soon…

Himars: le super armi made in USA, terrore dei civili del Donbass

Un anno fa, il 4 luglio 2022, i militari ucraini iniziarono ad impiegare i razzi statunitensi ad alta precisione per i sistemi Himars ed i MLRS M270 contro la Repubblica Popolare di Donetsk.

Come riporta la JCCC di Donetsk (struttura che si occupa di monitorare i bombardamenti ucraini), a causa dell’impiego da parte di Kiev di queste armi, solo in città e nella regione sono rimasti uccisi 34 civili, mentre i feriti sono 154, tra cui 10 bambini. Questi razzi hanno danneggiato o distrutto 194 tra case e palazzine abitate da civili, 4 ospedali e 13 scuole.

Gli Himars erano stati dipinti dai nostri giornali come “l’arma della vittoria ucraina”, strumenti precisi ed efficaci che avrebbero dovuto cambiare le sorti del conflitto in poco tempo.

Secondo la JCCC, in un anno Kiev ha lanciato 345 razzi di questo tipo sulla regione di Donetsk (il lancio di un razzo costa circa 150000$). E ciò senza contare le regioni di Lugansk, Zaporozhye e Kherson.

Non è un segreto che l’esercito di Zelensky prima di impiegare questi sistemi debba ottenere il via libera dagli ufficiali americani, i quali forniscono informazioni accurate sugli obiettivi da colpire. Eppure in numerose occasioni questi sistemi si sono dimostrati imprecisi, così come è palese che i militari USA abbiano commesso evidenti errori (sarebbe un gravissimo crimine qualora si trattasse di decisioni consapevoli) nel corso delle operazioni di ricognizione per stabilire le coordinate da fornire ai colleghi ucraini prima di aprire il fuoco.

Il 28 giugno l’esercito ucraino ha impiegato questi razzi per colpire un ponte di Donetsk, uccidendo l’autista di un autobus di linea e un altro civile. Pochi giorni prima razzi simili erano stati lanciati su Volnovakha, colpendo un centro dove vengono distribuiti aiuti umanitari. Li morirono due civili, altri 18 rimasero feriti.
