Russian special military operation in Ukraine #27

Wikipedia is a very valuable source if you know how to use it. GO TO THE TALK SECTION. There you will find a plethora of all you might want to know that is not allowed on the front page. Also speaking of Crimea. You might want to ask why that all happened in the first place. Maybe look up the maidan color revolution and ensuing regime change. If say China regime changed Cuba, signed defense pacts and funded them and gave them equipment and got Cuba to talk about retaking Guantanamo bay, what would we Americans do?

Same as Russia. I'm tired of this farce. Time for Russia to show the world what it is made of. It is time to use full force, even putting troops in grave danger. Decapitate quickly and with no remorse. In the mean time tell the west if it interferes, then nuclear weapons WILL be used as nato involvement to stop the attack would be recognition of the west trying to destroy Russia proper.

Yeah, I was going to say, isn't the Times just western financed and controled puppy training papers?

It is useful to read to get an indication of the reality they want to project because I am sure most volunteers for the Nazis have a shortage of everything and the thousands of dollars they are throwing at them wont last long when they pay for their equipment and perhaps even food and lodgings.

Maybe even charge them if they want anti armour weapons... and ammo.

Several sources in the US have telegraphed the US response to a use of tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine: an immediate sinking of the entire Black Sea fleet and destruction of all port facilities and the "destruction", presumable using NATO airpower, of all Russian forces in Ukraine. One would guess such a response would cause a nuclear counterstrike against NATO airfields in Poland and Romania and attacks on NATO surface naval assets.

Their main problem would be that it would be easier for Russia to devastate HATO forces in the region than for HATO to activate their forces to enact such strikes.

They claim to not be party to this conflict... maybe one of their bio weapons labs has something they want to start a provocation with... a nuke would be about the only useful weapon for such a situation... otherwise it would make no sense at all... but thanks for the warning guys if they do need to use a nuke then if the response from HATO is going to be that excessive then they might as well nuke Brussels and Washington to start with.

More then that... "After us, silence"

Ironically for Freezing Europe...

Muskrat misunderstands many things. Or rather he point blank refuses to even LOOK at them. Here's some.

The main thing he misunderstands is that Putin is not scared and is not looking for an easy way to walk away from this conflict.

Russia has clearly defined goals that don't include getting approval from the west, and they are going to continue to achieve them.

No matter how much the US sabotages or tries to interfere with Russian relations with Europe... because they are essentially over anyway.

Actually it's not a bad proposal if there is an assurance that the Ukraine won't be armed up again and really does remain neutral

Not the worst proposal I have seen, but abusing the old saying.... in war when your enemy is making a mistake don't interrupt him.... perverted, when you have the enemy on the slaughter table and you are removing his limbs... don't let him distract you with a peace proposal because he is just distracting you while his mate sneak up behind you... finish the job...

Indeed, yet it proves of how much the real opinion of an educated Westerner, who knows who beats the drums, differs from the pushed propaganda agenda.

It is an indication of how black people in America feel, or Palestinians in Israel feel... normally when there is a problem you call the police but when the police are more likely to shoot you than the actual criminal what can you do... how do they feel?

Russia should have gone in years ago. Firstly the job would have been easier.

Kievs forces would have been weaker, but Russia would also have been less able to cope with the sanctions too... food sanctions were painful for Russia but allowed them 8 years to develop their own food production industry for instance... equally lots of engines had French parts or were French engines... not so much now as new Russian engines move towards production and use.

Sure you will kill some slavs, but you wont be able to weaken Russia remotely enough for it to matter.

Its just western desperation at this point.

Do enough damage to make them really hate the west... as with most western moves... ultimately self defeating.

PLus its clear Russia wasn't focused on the Pukraine from 1991 onwards politically. And now that has caused major problems today.

There are lots of obvious changes they could have made but didn't until they were forced to... getting off the US dollar is obvious but they really didn't get rid of their US debt till the US started using their dollar as a weapon... ie they were investing... banking on the US economy till the US started punishing them for it...

Stupid on both sides.

Suggesting its just Donbass is frankly obscene. What sort of fucked up mental state are many in the Pukraine after all those years of secret police, banned pro Russian media, nazi vermin asssassinating and jailing people.

Argentine people should be celebrating and demanding their land back because it seems in the west referendums and the views of the people who live there mean nothing...

China would also like that because of Tibet and Taiwan...

If there's 700,000 full time paid soldiers , why the f*ck does anyone need to be called up.

There are 25 million reservists who have served within the last 10-15 years, why draw forces that are currently operating around your country for a special little job when you have reservists for just that purpose?

UKR Ambassador to Germany

Hahaha... the Ukrainians who can afford them would not be seen dead without a Tesla... the people in the Ukraine may never see one.

2) How fast is Kiev replacing the soldiers that it is losing?

A better question is if Russia is sending the bare minimum troops for the job and so when the Orcs mass attack they do take ground but lose large numbers in the process... what is going to happen when the Russians change gear and send more troops... Orcs lose more men and also territory... how is that going to end for them?

Gotta laugh at the Ameri-fags threatening to destroy the Black Sea Fleet and all the Ru forces in the Pukraine.

To be fair some thinking and demanding the Russians send in millions of troops and all of a sudden the enemy forces will all be instantly wiped out is just as bad.

REPORT: UKRAINIAN ARMY ABSORBED 20,000 CASUALTIES DURING SEPTEMBER OFFENSIVE

Suffered rather than absorbed, but I doubt there was much suffering in HATO HQs across EU and US...

Haters will say it's fake

Would be hilarious if Musk decided to make that his new symbol... these orc faggots don't know how to treat potentially powerful influential people...

Ukria is a pathological case. It is an Orwellian toilet where the losses are not known by the credulous Ukr proles.
Instead they are fed a diet BS about big victories against moskals who are losing so many men that they have to
call up 300,000 reservists ("draftees").

They will get ten times that many sign up because of the 50K that signed up before only 50 were killed and the rest didn't come back because they were upset by all the Russians they had to kill so they sent 20K on extended holiday to Fiji or Samoa to deal with things...

If my country were stupid enough to sink Russia's Black Sea Fleet

Love the ego of the guy thinking sinking the entire Russian BSF would even be something they could manage...

Yeah. It looks to me like the Russian military is too small. I assumed they would have a professional military that could deploy 200 to 300,000 ground forces for any given war. Without calling anyone up.

I also assumed that a 1 million person army would comprise no less than 3-400,000 ground forces. But it looks like not

They are already fighting in Syria and have forces in other places too.... do you think a 1 million man army just has men around the place twiddling their thumbs doing nothing?

They have millions of square kms of Russian territory to defend 24/7... they have reservists for this sort of thing but they normally take 3 months or more to call up and prepare.

In Desert Storm the US waited 6 months while armour and troops and equipment were delivered...

That said, i have no clue what the West's plan is anymore?
Their sanctions blitzkrieg failed spectacularly.
So even if they do wreil Russia up to commit harder action, what the F is the point?

Sure you will kill some slavs, but you wont be able to weaken Russia remotely enough for it to matter.

Its just western desperation at this point.

Have as many Ukrainians die as possible and make sure they hate Russia for all time.
Make sure there is no-one left in the Ukraine for any sort of economic work in any territories Russia takes.
And of course kill as many Russians as possible and make the army there as crappy a career path as possible.

Actually there is plenty for the West to do in the Ukraine if thinking cynically. And Washington, its policy makers certainly do think cynically, so should you when assessing them

I hope Putin tells the scum what the response would be ie a massive levelling of American military and infrastructures worldwide.
It really shows how America literally is Satan on Earth and was planning the destruction of Russia since 1991.

I think that the West has a sincere desire to destroy Russia since the time of Napoleon, through the Crimean War, until the collapse of the Russian Empire and thus the destruction of the identity of the Russian people. Recent examples are World War II and what is happening now.
I think that Ivan IV Vasilyevich started to create a huge state with the victory over the Kazan and Astrakhan khanates. Of course, in the West it is called a terrible..
The temple of Vasily the Blessed was built in honor of that victory.

I'm Russian on my one side, and British on the other. British born.
The British media is so vile and offensive I actually struggle to watch it. I turn off when the Pukraine comes on.
These holier than thou pricks pretending to "moralise" but all they do is spout utter lies.
If my Russian speaking was better I'd have fucked off to Russia long ago. Prob still will.

But anyway, America basically inherited all the (non)principles of the British Empire.
The British Establishment is basically their bitchboy. On a world level Britain is as significant as a shit floating in a swimming pool.

Occasionally Germany, France, Italy etc have a leader who sees sense. Just as Hungary is doing right now. I think it could be decades before Europe finally wakes up to the fact its Uncle Sham's homosexual slave and nothing more. Britain, I doubt will ever wake up. Thats why British people call Britain the 51st state. Its never meant as a compliment.

Putin needs to go hard, really hard. The red line of red lines has been overcrossed far too many times and for too long.

flamming_python wrote:Russia was making a gamble. They tried to split the leadership in Kiev, make deals, get the army to defect, etc... all to no avail.
Then it tried the diplomatic route. That again was a failure.

No gamble. No miscalculation. Deliberate action. The pain dial exists, not only for the enemy in Kiev/Brussels/Washington but for the own population and the people in the Global South, which support or at least neutrality is needed to overcome sanctions.

Best way to deal with the Nazi problem: mobilize 300.000+ men back in last December after sending the proposals (Crimea is Russian, Donbass gets autonomy, "Ukraine" becomes neutral) to the western elites. Then bring in 500.000 soldiers into the theater and destroy the Nazi regime, take the whole fake country and erase it.

Support at home: clear minority
Support in the Global South: minimal

Instead Russia started the SMO and showed readiness to make diplomatic deals. Goal: Crimea is Russian, Donbass gets independece, de-militarised "Ukraine" (the pain dial went up on the diplomatic front as we can clearly see). Huge support for that at home and in the Global South.

Today forces are mobilized and 4 Regions/Republics became part of Russia. The pain dial went up again.

Support at home: overwhelming (most people: It´s damn time!)
Support in the Global South: majority support the move, the rest is neutral (and tells Russia behind closed doors: do what you got to do!)

Even now I don´t think that Russia will turn the pain dial to the maximum. Russian territory will be liberated in full + a few important regions (Nikolaev and Odessa) but after that Russia will show readiness for some talks again. Not that the leadership thinks there is something to talk about with the west or that they would be successful, but to show the people at home and in the Global South that Russia is the side that wants peace.

To clarify: I wrote this before watching the video of the Duran. Mercouris makes roughly the same points as I am.

One more point: I think the Kremlin made up his mind about the incorporation of the 4 Regions/Republics and the mobilization in late August or beginning of September. In other words before the Kherson and Kharkov "offensives" started in earnest. At that point the General Staff was already preparing a big offensive as we can see by all those videos of equipment moving into the theater. There is no point in loosing men in defending some small village or some suare kilometres of open terrain if you are close to such an (propably) strategic operation.

How was that possible, that the war was carried careless, without placing much attention to it, and - what is most bizarre - how the empire was not trying to make a second attempt, this time seriously?
Maybe it has a second ground there? Like making an overseas beachhead that can be used for other purposes later? Far away from the European bulldog fights? Objectively safe, with waste resources and landmass to subdue?

If I remember correctly (was a long time ago) the Brits invaded from Canada and even burned down Washington (the village, not the guy). Then there was some settlement. I guess the british elite found and "independent" Amerika more usefull, a great way of getting rid of poor and criminal people from all corners of Little Britain.

Shoigu: the use of new units in the SMO is planned with units already involved

Military personnel drafted into the armed forces as part of partial mobilization will be sent to the areas of the special military operation after combat coordination and will be used together with the units already involved in the SMO, said Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.
"Military personnel should be sent to combat areas after training and combat coordination," Shoigu said at a conference call on Tuesday.
He demanded that the commanders of the military districts and the Northern Fleet "in order to quickly adapt the recruits to the combat situation, conduct additional training with them under the guidance of officers with combat experience." "The use of these units should be planned only jointly with those units that are already participating in a special military operation," the defense minister ordered.

Shoigu said that the Russian Armed Forces shot down seven planes and 45 drones of the Armed Forces of Ukraine during the referendum days

During the days of the referenda in the Donetsk and LuGansk People's Republics, as well as in the Zaporozhye and Kharkiv regions, the Russian armed forces shot down seven planes and 45 drones of the Ukrainian army, more than 100 missiles of the enemy's HIMARS and Alder (Olkha) installations, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said on Tuesday .

Three volunteer battalions are planned to be created in Zaporozhye
According to the chairman of the movement "We are together with Russia" Vladimir Rogov, their formation is active, "people want to fight for their native land"

Residents of the Zaporozhye region will create three volunteer battalions - named after Sudoplatov, named after St. Andrew the First-Called and the Slavic Guard battalion. This was announced on Tuesday to a TASS correspondent by the chairman of the movement "We are together with Russia" Vladimir Rogov.
According to him, the formation of the First Zaporozhye Battalion named after Sudoplatov is currently very active. "People apply every day, submit applications, they want to fight for their native land, protecting the Cossacks from the lawlessness that the regime of [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelensky (Nazi cocksucker) is doing. I think the battalion will be formed fairly quickly, and in a month and a half we will begin to form the Second Zaporozhye Battalion named after Andrew the First-Called,” he said. The third battalion will be called the Slavic Guard, Rogov added.

It goes back to the time of Alexander Nevsky and the Teutonic Order crusades. A foundation for the western hate of Russia
is the schism in the Church. Drang nach osten for the last 1000+ years has been about converting the Orthodox heretics.
There as been success in Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, etc. The root of rabid Ukra ethno-fascist nazionalism is the cultural
and religious assimilation into the "western world" under the rule of the Grand Duchy of Poland and Lithuania centuries ago.
It is the never ending project of the west.

But Russia has been resisting successfully for 1000 years and it does not look to me like the west is closer to winning but
instead is losing its grip for a very long time.

"Today, more than 200 thousand people have arrived in the armed forces. <...> The training of personnel of the formed units is carried out at 80 training grounds and in six training centers," he said.
The officials were instructed to provide the mobilized with sets of clothes and other property, to appoint them to military positions.

Shoigu stressed that those called up for partial mobilization will be sent to the areas of the special military operation only after combat coordination, together with the units already involved. He demanded that the commanders of the military districts and the Northern Fleet "in order to quickly adapt the recruits to the combat situation, conduct additional training with them under the guidance of officers with combat experience."

According to the head of the Ministry of Defense, during the autumn conscription, conscripts finishing their service will return home, and new conscripts will serve in units not involved in a special military operation.
The fall draft this year will begin a month later than usual, in November, and the transfer to the reserve will take place from October to December. It is planned to call on 120,000 people - 7,500 fewer than last fall.

After undergoing training under the individual training program at training grounds in the regions of conscription, the servicemen departed for the places of combat coordination as part of units," a spokesman for the Russian Defense Ministry said.
He clarified that at the moment, the arrived military personnel are mastering military equipment and weapons, as well as honing their skills in fire training with standard weapons and military equipment as part of units on tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers, artillery systems and air defense systems (air defense).

"After the combat coordination, the units, staffed by mobilized citizens and volunteers, will begin to carry out tasks to control and defend the liberated territories, as well as acting as part of reserve and reinforcement units," the representative of the Russian defense department specified.

After having pulled back from Dudchany, it appears the northern UA group have stopped for now. Most likely to reinforce in the west where UA have not managed to breach Davydov Brod defensive lines. New assaults are expected along the entire Kherson line today.


That is too much movement in the wrong direction for me.

If the Ukro Nazis are getting slaughtered, why are they able to advance and overun Russian territories? Something here doesn't add up..

That is too much movement in the wrong direction for me.

Well yeah.

It supposed to be balanced with much increased air support attempt, or even heavier artillery strike.. which where were they now ? particularly air support. Like those 6 airbases in Crimea should do something, really. Still no real information anyway of how many sorties these airbases did and how much ordnance delivered to ukrainian forces. That's kinda how Israeli fight in 1973's where they practically developed and doing hot-refuelling procedure. They were having many losses in aircrafts too.

Russians can probably deploy Tu-22M3 but this needs immense support jamming and then there is still no guarantee that no aircraft will be lost.

If they lacked men.. then where were the rest of the forces previously used to take Kherson oblast in the first place ?

Despite of any successes in liquidating Ukrainian manpower.. Citizens in Kherson and well basically Donbass and Lugansk may not feel convenient at all seeing that the defense are getting closer and closer to where they live. This is not something that can be taken lightly.
