    The map of LDPR still shows UA/ Azov artillery , near main cities , close enough to hit them . This was confirmed by RT news today or yesterday . Before Russia directly launched offensive against the Rats , from own territory , I thought that a low key and indirect approach , was going to be used . Without using Air force . This would not have , however , resolved the problem long term .

    But now that the decision is made , for the better , to remove the cause of the problem , I must add that there is no point in holding back the use of direct attacks by Russian artillery or Air force from Russian bases , against UA units , still stationed and active around LDPR . But since , it seems that the UA , may still have some hidden AD units , then using guided long range artillery is best .

    I heard that some Russian Tanks were driving down Kiev's victory avenue ! And some were damaged . I remember a Helicopter was also shot down yesterday . So there exist short range AD and anti - Tank in the city . I think it more productive now to send in snatch squads to arrest corrupt politicians . They could be working undercover .

    No one is invincible in war because they are on a particular side, and no weapon system is impossible to deploy in a way that it works perfectly, just look at the ork ballistic missiles that got thru the s-400 umbrella in Rostov.

    Except franco kinda destroy your comment there a out S-400 which was 200km away from rostov airbase and the ad systems are mobile and left towards Ukraine. So the Tochka strike was bad on Russia leaving the Airfield undefended.

    If they had their base defended like in Syria, that tochka wouldn't gone through. It had 80kms at least distance from shoot to target.

    Tomahawk are much slower might I add. But yes, no such thing as invisible.

    Yeah in that situation the only thing that matters is if Topols and Bulavas will go through. Nothing else.

    Russia made it clear. No conventional war with NATO. Fire a tomahawk you get one of your cities leveled.

    US site commenting that Zelensky is under US control and will not be allowed to deal on his own directly with Russia.

    He might actually agree to something in Ukraine's interests not the US's Laughing

    Lol, thats not an Il-76.
    Anyone who has ever seen an Il-76 would immediately notice that Il-76 has a high tailplane.
    Does look a lot like An-26 though.

    Like with 2014 to ...well uh continuously through to the present dunno
    Pretty much anything about Russia that comes from 404 sources is obvious bullshit and western politicians/media lap it up as if god came down & personally engraved it into a tablet.

    Looks like An-26 that was shot down/crashed at the beginning.

    Or new that was shot down. But if they are sharing this, it means they want to present proof of Ilyushin, but they don't have any.

    It's not an Il-76. That's that.

    If we had a better angle we could tell by the paint scheme who it's from. Unfortunately shadows messing my take.

    isn't ukraine covered by snow at this time ? in feb 26 ?

    if this is the case , could show the picture is fake or doctored or from 2014 war.

    the plane at distance looks small however , not a big cargo plane. and even if russia wipe
    all ukraine airdefenses , there will still exist manpads ,that can cause troubles for planes flying low
    or it could be the plane had mechanical problems from the start.. Russia many planes dozens of them in their normal exercises.. in one year of training.

    In war it does not matter what the reason of failures was, the umbrella had holes, it was exploited by an enemy. And trust me there are always holes, you just have to look hard enough or wait long enough for them to appear. I think in this case it was more luck or NATO supplying intel then the orks finding the hole themselfs.
    I still think russia is winning the real war on the ground, but the orks are winning the propaganda war massively. And that was to be expected.
    The only two things that can loose us the war is Ukraine getting help, or Russian morale loss resulting in them grinding to a halt.
    I believe russia has the later in check and that is why we see only parts of the attack force active, they are rotating units. The first one i'm still worried for.

    I listened Mercouris analysis before the war and he said many times that Russia will completely "overwhelm" Ukraine military in a direct confrontation.

    I'm not seeing it after three days of war.

    Yes s-300
    there are pictures from launch
    Like i said it is a AD guerilla war now I bet they are moving them around hide them in tunnels etc.

    It is against rules of war to deploy it like that , but since russia has already lost the propaganda war on normies it will be ignored.
    The problem for russia is that if the war turns to bloody, lets say massive strikes resulting in high numbers of civilian casualties.
    portrayed in western media as deliberate massacres, NATO might not be able to reason with politicians and civilians and be forced to escalate.

    NATO forced to escalate? With what? Glowniger faggot LGBTQ+ company? Let's be realistic. Their ability to escalate AT THE MOMENT is very limited.

    Honestly, I was an active soldier for 10 year, and 6 years as a reservist, and yeah the political woke posturing is not making NATO look great.
    I would never go back, due to diversity training etc alone. But make no mistake NATO has teeth especially when it comes to airpower and cruise missiles etc.
    Make no mistake, i fully support Russia in this war. They have the high ground.
    But I hang on the NATO fanboi OSINT pages as well, not partaking like here but it is good to know what the other side know, right. And they have with open source photo and radar satellites quite a good picture on russian deployment, rear areas, IADS shit like that. Imagine what a real NATO S2 shop would know. loosing logistics right now could kill the war, and quite frankly enough tomahawks could do that.
    No one is invincible in war because they are on a particular side, and no weapon system is impossible to deploy in a way that it works perfectly, just look at the ork ballistic missiles that got thru the s-400 umbrella in Rostov. War is not fought with weapon specs, but with deception creativity and brutality.

    Except franco kinda destroy your comment there a out S-400 which was 200km away from rostov airbase and the ad systems are mobile and left towards Ukraine. So the Tochka strike was bad on Russia leaving the Airfield undefended.

    If they had their base defended like in Syria, that tochka wouldn't gone through. It had 80kms at least distance from shoot to target.

    Tomahawk are much slower might I add. But yes, no such thing as invisible.

    In war it does not matter what the reason of failures was, the umbrella had holes, it was exploited by an enemy. And trust me there are always holes, you just have to look hard enough or wait long enough for them to appear.  I think in this case it was more luck or NATO supplying intel then the orks finding the hole themselfs.
    I still think russia is winning the real war on the ground, but the orks are winning the propaganda war massively. And that was to be expected.
    The only two things that can loose us the war is Ukraine getting help, or Russian morale loss resulting in them grinding to a halt.
    I believe russia has the later in check and that is why we see only parts of the attack force active, they are rotating units. The first one i'm still worried for.

    The propaganda aspect is funny since it's mostly just Orks and US posting and they are using so many fakes it's silly.  I mean, they use flicking DCS video game and Ukrainians playing dress up or using their own failures and claiming Russian.  They may be winning in Europe and US where people are retarded I guess.

    As for the hole, it was man made by Russia. It was their fault. I guarantee you that bases in Crimea are far better protected and wouldn't let a missile through.  Just loom at russias base in Syria as example how it's done properly.

    But I get your point. But as seen by others in Iran, Iraq and Syria, those tomahawks won't do justice. And end result would be devastating for the US. Worst than Iran's barrage.
