Ukraine War

Jump to new
Yes, As I said there is no nukes pointed at Russia is Romania or Poland, the USA abandoned equipping tomahawks with Nukes 10years ago.

The reason Russia is upset with the defensive systems is not because they can be reloaded with nukes, but because they may counter act a Russian attack, so it weakens russias position.

It’s a bit like having a hostile neighbour armed with a pistol, that becomes peaceful because they know you also have a pistol. If you see that neighbour putting on a bullet proof vest and helmet, the peace is at risk because now one sides pistol might be less effective.

Nukes can be fired from all sorts of equipment, they can even be fired from Artillery, so I don’t know why Russia would be particularly scared of the defence system, except for the fact it reduces their power to attack.

The video shows some big weaknesses in Russian tank design.

very interesting, the same author has a video on efficiency of the himars vs russian missiles and artillery.
It seems its a repeating theme, Russians have really fallen behind in the last 20-30 years and their weapons are outdated and not accurate. The second theme seems to be the thinking, russian soldiers and personell are disposable therefore not much is invested on training which also hinders efficiency.
 
Seen similar, elsewhere, but that was succinct, so thanks. The HIMARS vid, which came through as the next click, was also worth the 8 minutes.

Their tech seems to have fallen behind; drones are an example. Orlan was almost completely assembled from Jap optics and TI chips. And now RU using Iranian 'loitering munitions'.
 
This might be the Himar video you guys are talking about.

 
Perhaps this movie should be rerun, instead of crappy race-swapping remakes of The Little Mermaid and Scooby Doo.

Just a thought.

 
BIG news in Crimea. Putin will go ballistic... Crimea is now almost severed from Russian support

Key bridge linking Crimea to Russia hit by huge explosion​

The Kerch bridge from Russia to Crimea, a hated symbol of the Kremlin’s occupation of the southern Ukrainian peninsula and one of Vladimir Putin’s prestige projects, has been hit by a huge explosion.

Images from the bridge showed a fiercely burning fire engulfing at least two railway carriages from a train on the bridge, accompanied by a vast column of black smoke, and one half of the parallel road bridge collapsed into the Kerch Strait.

The explosion, which witnesses said could be heard miles away, occurred before 6am on Saturday while a train was crossing the bridge, with Russian officials blaming it on a car bomb.
“Today at 6.07am (03.07 GMT) on the road traffic side of the Crimean bridge … a car bomb exploded, setting fire to seven oil tankers being carried by rail to Crimea,” Russian news agencies said, citing the national anti-terrorism committee, although that claim could not immediately be verified.

'Close to the limit': The US is running out of essential weapons to send to Ukraine

Washington is "learning lessons" from the conflict about ammunition needs in a great power war, which are "far greater" than expected, a US military official says.
www.abc.net.au
Strangely quickly out of top news..
A few gems in it.basically it is an all out war on Russia via Ukrainian deaths
Also the fact that the US weapons were already there before the "invasion"...
Damned does not fit the narrative..out
 
frog , you and i are old enough to know what propaganda is ( Vietnam , East Timor the first incident ) dig back to WW2 and see some of the stuff the UK did about Adolf ( later to be revived to 'control a virus ' )

hint:- the Hunter laptop ( the other one )
 
Of course American weapons were in Ukraine they have been fighting Russian separatists for 8 years. Remember how Putin's pal withheld US military aid to Ukraine for 55days until he received a favour? He got impeached for doing that.

But this is full admission in a woke organ.
Soon we might even get some shards of truth?
 
the reservists are to man the backline positions supplying the frontline which has been done by many of the initial 200k frontline soldiers. so now instead of a small force engaging in the frontlines, the actual trained forces in the backlines can now move forward to engage in the frontlines as their support roles are taken over by the reservists.

Looks like things are escalating. methinks getting more likely US will have to get into a conflict soon to shift attention away from their local inflation problems.
 

Russia appoints new military commander after Ukraine setbacks

The Kremlin appointed General Sergey Surovikin as the overall leader of Russian troops in Ukraine on Saturday, after weeks of battlefield losses.
www.euronews.com
Russia appointed a new commander on Saturday to lead its troops in Ukraine after suffering a series of military setbacks over the past weeks.

Sergey Surovikin, a general, previously led Russian forces in Syria. Here he was accused of using brutal and controversial military tactics, such as the indiscriminate bombing of anti-government strongholds.
Surovikin has a shady past, serving time in prison twice for allegedly selling weapons and then leading a military column against protesters during the 1991 coup, which resulted in three deaths.
 
The USA has had military bases in Europe for decades, of course they have weapons there, not to mention that they have permanent daily military logistics flights connecting the USA with Germany, so can transport military equipment to Europe at the drop of a hat.
 
For anyone interested in the logistics of the US armed forces, and in particular their connections with Europe, and how they support their large permanent military presence there.

 

Why I think there's a one-in-six chance of an imminent global nuclear war - LessWrong

Many people have asked me what I think the odds are of an imminent major US-Russia nuclear war. My current estimate is about the same as losing in Russian roulette: one in six. The goal of this post…
www.lesswrong.com

1 in 6 chance of nuclear war, according to this dude.

Also, Elon (who obviously has incredible foresight), tweeting that the probability of nuclear war is rising rapidly.

How does it end? Or is modern warfare designed to transfer money to the elites who own the MIC in both Russia and the US? Keep it going - keep shifting taxpayer funds into the 'military'. Conspiracy theories around modern warfare are compelling, to me anyway.
