Various sources are spreading information that Moldova serves as an intermediary for
the supply of lethal weapons from NATO to the Ukrainian Armed Forces through the airfield
in Marculesti.
If everything they say turns out to be true, we can conclude that Moldova is undermining the
constitutional order, one of the foundations of which is the neutral status of the country.
https://en.news-front.info/2022/03/05/west-uses-moldova-to-supply-arms-to-ukraine/
Moldova should be liberated also while on the move.
But seriously: Moldova, yesterday I think, made a pledge to join the EU.
Moldova has always been half anti-Russian and half pro-Russian
The pro-Russian areas have always been the capital Kishinev (mixed population of Moldovans, Russians, Jews, etc... but mostly Russian-speaking), Gagauzia and Pridnestrovie. The later two are extremely pro-Russian. Also the gypsies in Moldova are very pro-Russian, but I'm not sure how often they vote.
The anti-Russian areas have been most of the rural districts and smaller towns.
The thing is that most of Moldova's rural and small town population is right now busy working in Europe and have Romanian passports. Whereas the Kishinev, Gagauz and Pridnestrovian population mostly stay in Moldova, sometimes working in Russia or the Ukraine.
So if any urgent political crisis develops there, the momentum will be more on the side of the people who are there now - the pro-Russians. Although the anti-Russian nationalists are more organized and more violent and can take control like the Ukrainian ones did in the Ukraine.

Right now , Russia needs to escalate involvement to put this dog down
Enough being nice and to hell with civilian casualties,
Hit Ukrainian forces hard and minimize collateral damage as much as possible
But it's not the armies job to be a humanitarian org
Stupid Kremlin is the one holding the army and VKS on a tight leash
Military command needs to take over this op, it's not a political one, it's a military one
Civilians will fall in line once the leadership is severed and the fighting forces are put down for good

You seem to oscillate between various stages of hysteria.
Who's the one who shouldn't in the trenches?
Russia has nothing to do in central Ukraine for sure. If it can't end the war quick, it should withdraw from there to more defensible lines.
But I think negotiations can yield something in the coming week.

It's not a question of possibilities, it's a question of WILL
Right now the political leadership demonstrates a very poor WILL in executing this operation
Under the conditions of full info war, sanctions, arming of the opponent, ambushes and resistance by enemy, killing of Russian forces by the enemy
The decision should be made to bombard Ukraine in any areas where resistance is present.
We are not talking of bombing the city indiscriminately, but of wacking the mole wherever it pops out
If MANPADS is coming from an area, or artillery, or rocket fire, then quickly flatten said area
That is all
And what are negotiations for ? This is why guys are dying, because midget keeps meeting with the coke addict and signing ceasefires with terrorists
No more negotiations, only demands now

Not sure how the Mi-24 got hit. If the Ka-52 has countermeasures obviously the Mi-24 has that too. Or maybe as in the case of the Ka-52 a couple of missiles were probably fired at a number of Mi-24s and unfortunately one of them was hit.
Any countermeasures on any aircraft need some standoff distance from the point they are launched at. The Mi-24 was shot down from less than 300 meters, which is not even enough distance or time for the electronics or DIRCM to register that something is coming in. The DIRCM dazzlers need also time to turn towards the incoming missile which in terms of real world physics requires more time than for the missile to fly 300 meters. The cases for Ka-52 I don't know but looking at the tactics they fly very low to avoid the remaining AD systems like BUK or even OCA, they would have a similar issue avoiding MANPADs from a few hundred meters. They probably didn't get any warning because MAW sensors need to pick up the trail from launched missiles. They should indeed use more suicide drones in regions where they know MANPADS are or recon has shown.

This much is obvious, left in the hands of the imbeciles of the Kremlin, and defeatistsYugo90 wrote:If they send jihadist with combat experiences and all western volunteers to the front line then Russian offensive will be stopped very fast. I dont see this war ending soon. If Ukraine is getting full unlimited help from the west with tons of jihadists and other nazis and weapons then Russia will have to stop being nice and crush them hard. If not Russian will have 10,000 death soldiers at the end of this war.
We will end up in bad position to end this
Look the defeatists calling for negotiations and such are being heard
Right now a ceasefire is being declared for Mariupol, for civilians to exit
Guys the atrocities are already large scale, why is there a ceasefire being declared?
The area must be flattened, the brotherly people are laughing at falling su34 and calling burnt corpses of our guys pederasts
Other idiots call for this op to proceed at pace. So then people like Mike empower the voices like that of flaming to enact a capitulation policy where more men die
No it's obvious the op cannot continue at this pace, harder measures are needed, or we will be signing agreement with zelensky, and those who died , will have died for nothing

Source? Abandoning two tors in WORKING condition would be horrendous they should know to destroy them if they HAVE to ditch them

Expensive Javelin ! Yes another weakness . I was thinking that decoy convoy could be set up . Consisting of empty vehicles , with no engine . Connected like train , only with a driver to steer , and lead vehicle pulling . Driver's cabin only armoured . Then just drive along Roads and absorb hits , ahead of real convoy . And trap the javelin nest with mobile hunters .

And fire cannon at the launch position.
It seems that NATO is gathering . Sending money and supplies . In a significant way . This still does not mean they are united . All it means is that Russia did not yet retaliate . It did not stop the interference . Break up the gathering . So should it break them up now or later ? Now it has it's hands full . But no guarantee that it will not have it's hands full , six months from now . But if it can finish major operations soon , and it can see the light at the end of the tunnel . Then it can delay retaliation against NATO . The weapons , money and men that this gang send , no doubt kill Russians . But will it stop victory ? They know the numbers , I don't . If it stops victory , then strike NATO now , while you are strongest . It all depends on the numbers .
Now about protecting convoys . Use the equipment you have . This may turn out to be a long conventional war by proxy , but I doubt . Giving blood or treasure ? Whichever you have more of ! I know , not popular with soldiers ,who ask for a sledge- hammer to crack a nut . When all they have is a spoon to cut down a tree .

They are going crazy. They kill their own troops. Many civilian killed in the cities for various reasons.
Zelensky beg for No fly zone which means both its air force and air defences have took heavy losses.
Russians are preparing heavy attacks with the reinforcement.

They are taking breather for logistics to catch up. You know, the things that supply the bombs and missiles that you lot were calling for for days now.billybatts91 wrote:Why is Russia going in a snail's pace? Only Kherson was taken.
