Russian special military operation in Ukraine #36

Raise to the ground Lvov, Ternopil,Ivano-Frankovsk, Volyn, Khmelnitski and Rovno oblasts. Civilians are free to leave for EU.

Arestovich is opportunist of the highest degree. Also let's not forget his extensive ties with Russian nationalist circles in the past and Dugin. I don't think he shares many ideological points with Western Ukrainian Nazis. It might be one of the reasons he uses almost exclusively Russian language, as well.

More and more footage of T-90Ms in action is showing up, and most of the tanks have a kind of fabric covering them. Is it some variant of the "Nakhodka" IR shield and radar absorbent that was shown at various forums and demonstrations many years ago?

I guess radar absorbent covers could help them too, to make them more difficult to track for US satellite SAR reconnaissance etc? Just speculating, no expert on radar.

He uses the Russian language to maximize the size of his audience

He's a political whore and nothing more. An opportunist like you said. It doesn't matter his past, it matters which project he has attached himself to now. Just like it doesn't matter that many of these same Ukrainian politicians, thinkers, etc... were once pro-Russian and shared the same outlook as Russians in Russia. They've sold out and every train has left every station long ago.

Sorry if this posted already but what are all the secondary explosions out the front?

Some are of electrical nature. From power lines or maybe a tram line?

Soviet carton 1958, on the money

Nakidkta reduces radar and IR signatures. According to wiki it reduces RCS by 10db but the source is unreliable.

Only t-90s are getting them which suggest an advanced technology that works and isn't cheap.

That's good way to reduce radar detection, specially if you place some dummy radar decoys in the area.

fabric camo is pretty useful around this time, they can go from winter to spring camo very easily before the leave on the mission.

Wonder if this is typical? Wrong colour and past its use by date.

Cheaper to give it to Ukraine, pick up some Brownie points from the ignorant, than scrap it.

Wasn't worth the paper the agreement was written on.

American intelligence officer admired Putin's tough response to the blow of the West, 01.16.2023.

Former US spy Ritter: Putin rebuffed the West and did not allow Russia to be brought to its knees.

MOSCOW, January 16 - RIA Novosti. Vladimir Putin has managed to resist Western attempts to pressure Russia during the Ukraine crisis, retired US Marine Corps intelligence officer Scott Ritter wrote in an op -ed for the Global Times.

"Russia 's refusal to bend the knee and its rebellion against the West sent a signal to the world that the US and EU are no longer able to use sanctions as a threat to achieve their goals," he said.

According to the military, NATO is using Ukrainians to wage a proxy war with Russia. The Alliance trains the Ukrainian Armed Forces , equips them with heavy equipment worth tens of billions of dollars, and also supplies them with intelligence data.

Among other things, the West tried to weaken Moscow by imposing sanctions against it, but these attempts were unsuccessful. The result of the anti-Russian policy was the economic weakening of Europe , and US hegemony gave way to multipolarity with the growing role of the BRICS , Ritter stressed.

"A radical geopolitical transformation is taking place from American dominance to multipolarity. And this is happening because of the Ukrainian conflict," he summed up.

Western countries are faced with rising energy prices and a surge in inflation due to the imposition of sanctions against Moscow and the policy of abandoning Russian fuel. Against the backdrop of a rise in the price of fuel, primarily gas, the industry in Europe has largely lost its competitive advantages, which also affected other sectors of the economy.

Since February 24, Russia has been conducting a special military operation to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine . Vladimir Putin called its goal the protection of people who have been subjected to bullying and genocide by the Kyiv regime for eight years.

To be fair to Zelensky, he's been known to act a little silly during any type of serious matter

Here is a bit more information about Russian electronic jamming that recently blinded Nato Awacs. The jammer source might have been from Murmansk-Bn systems.

Except some problems... Murmansk BN are on the ground and its antenna height are limited and AEW use S-band in their radar as for datalink they use Link-16 which works in L-band while Murmansk BN is working in HF band.

For jamming AEW there is Pelena or Krasuha but they need to get within Line of sight to the AEW.

This is example of possible coverage of a ground based jammer in S-band with same 32 meter antenna height as Murmansk BN.  Against a target fliying at 10000 meters.  NATO AEW tho can still able to perform their surveillance task in Moldova.



Coverage can be increased with deployment in Kherson.. but it will be risky as Ukrainian will happily spend HIMARS or Tochka for it.

I suppose he just took his afternoon dose of magic powder, you know ...

Yeah, he wasn't contemptuously laughing at Putin quoting a ratified peace agreement, he was just high on cocaine at a peace agreement summit with world leaders

Nice video but the "increased effectiveness" of Kaliber and Iskander is pure BS. They are effective from Day 1.
Some of the cruise missiles are in the air for nearly 2 hours but all those NATO spy systems in the air can´t help
the AD systems on the ground. This means that the jammers are working from Day 1 (including some onboard
the cruise missiles) and that the NATO ISR systems are not so good as the MIC wants western politicians to 
believe.
