Russian special military operation in Ukraine #37

My highlight, so NATO anti drone EW works. Assume he talks about 82mm mortar and 152mm shells.

So you can get Abrams - but where to get iron men?

Alexander Khodakovsky, commander of the Vostok brigade, Vuhledar direction:

“There are no critical changes in Ugledar so far. It’s premature to say that we are already on the first streets of the city and are fighting in urban conditions, but we are gradually getting closer. The enemy is trying to withdraw tanks from the city and process our advanced groups, but despite our losses of drones from electronic warfare, we see and react to enemy actions.

Now a few words about tanks, which have been talked about so much lately.

I know those who withstood the hit of the eighty-second mine in the tank, but I don’t know anyone who could boast that after the arrival of the one hundred and fifty-second shell on the tank, the crew would continue to fight. Yes, a hinged hit on the tank's hull may not penetrate, but the impact will be such that heavy contusions are provided to the crew.

I didn’t see a single Ukrainian tank that didn’t try to run away from our fire, when we felt for it, albeit not with armor-piercing, but with heavy ammunition.

So you can get Abrams - but where to get iron men?"

The West plans to send F-16s to Ukraine. Probably everyone in NATO will donate a few pieces. The question is whether these planes will be coordinated by AWACS from the Black Sea. If so, Russia should no longer think about destroying AWACS.

Given the current developments, I would go as far as put down a statement that reconnaissance aircraft (e.g. RQ-4 Global Hawk) will be perceived as supporting the enemy and will be shot down in the black sea regardless of flying on international waters.

They will think Russia is taking the piss; the UAV is then subsequently downed. The US is not going to engage a Russian jet over unmanned UAVs and will most probably keep their AWACS away from the front afraid of being exposed to the general public of taking active part (which they do, but refuse to admit).

Like firing a Poseidon and detonating just outside of US borders underwater. Should provide a warning without causing casualties, but without enough visual impact. You want and need to send a message. Back off, right now.

For the UK, they are lucky their underwater cables are still operational after what they did. The only thing saving them is concrete hard evidence.

I think the US wants to strike anything and everything in Crimea and that is probably why they are planning to deliver US planes.
If there are already deliveries of F-16s, there could also be deliveries of F-18s, which are also available in European air forces.
I think they also want to exert additional pressure on the Russian population with possible airstrikes on the energy infrastructure of Russia in the areas close to Ukroshitstan.
That "pressure" would almost certainly have an even worse counter-effect among the Russian population.
If the story with airplanes starts the same as with tanks, then it seems to me that we are on the road of no return.

It seems to me more and more that the USA will not stop because there are no more sane people at the top of the American government...

That depends on how you define sanity. If sanity is - 10% for the big guy for every weapons contract - or increasing dependency of vasal states on the US by enabling their destruction, or going long speculating on stock changes.

They well sure know what they are doing but they just don't care. Any moral compass is broken, people/citizens are just things that can be used to drive agendas and achieve personal gain. I am sure a lot of these people are salivating just with the thought of making a buck by expanding the conflict into something more worse; for others that is.

It has always been that way. The only positive side of this is we might finally see S400 taking down a F35/F22 destroying the perception of stealth being able to fool modern radar systems.

The F-35 and F-22 would come last, yes, if a direct conflict had already begun.
Nothing makes me happy about all that and there are no winners, except maybe the Islamic world and everything south of the equator.

Pork stew in an iron can. Real German quality.

Leave this way or die.

The good thing about the propaganda BS is that in a few months
the exceptional ones can walk away from the sunk Titanic (404) 
and claim it never happened. Or tell more lies about the Russians
lost the war, even with russian flags flying above Kiev and Odessa.
This is the only way out for us.

Edit: Think I was wrong.

The Russian embassy in Germany said on Wednesday the decision to send 14 German-made Leopard 2 tanks to Kyiv and allow allies to re-export the same models would worsen the war in Ukraine and lead to “permanent escalation"

extremely dangerous decision takes the conflict to a new level of confrontation and contradicts the statements of German politicians about the unwillingness of the Federal Republic of Germany to be drawn into it,” Ambassador Sergei Nechayev said.

“It destroys the remnants of mutual trust, causes irreparable damage to the already deplorable state of Russian-German relations, and casts doubt on the possibility of their normalisation in the foreseeable future.”

Russia’s foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in a post on the Telegram messenger app that the German decision confirmed what she said was a “pre-planned war” against Moscow.

Kyiv has for months called for Western tanks, arguing they are desperately needed to give troops firepower and mobility to break through Russian defensive lines and recapture occupied territory in the east and south.

Moscow has repeatedly said Western-supplied tanks will “burn” and dismissed suggestions they will affect the outcome of the 11-month conflict, warning they will only prolong Ukrainian suffering.

US tanks have always been outdated rubbish. The Shermans were a laugh. Only a failed Jew and asslicker from American cinema can think that they are going to defeat Russia with that junk. He would have asked his blood friends for the Merkava. (Ups! It's true that they were destroyed in Lebanon)

The United States still lives on the propaganda of the 1st Gulf War. It would be nice if Russia could pulverize their tanks with its missiles and show the world its supremacy.

Why does the Russian embassy care about Germany if it is known that that country is not independent? what a waste of paper and internet are those communications

Holy those terminators are violent. You don't want to be on the receiving end. Somehow funnily the BMP then shooting is like a small dog barking but hiding behind a much larger dog.

I wonder when Ukraine will get so desperate for arms that they invade Transnistria lol.

When I visited in Tiraspol they had soviet apartment blocks fenced off with armed guards in them. The locals told me that they are filled with weapons on every floor as well as the basement. They told of a train had left GDR with millions of weapons and ammunition. And stayed overnight before heading to Russia. Most of the weapons were offloaded and even villages were vacated to house the weapons, these villages to this day are fenced off and guarded. Some arms were used in Transnistria conflict but majority are still there. Mostly small arms, Manpads, RPG of various types, ATGWs, SPG-9, 82/120mm mortars, HMG, AGS, mines, grenades, as well as some 122mm and 152mm ammo. Once Russia liberates Odessa these arms can be distributed amongst newly liberated areas militia. There far too much just for Transnistrian forces lol. And ammo arms might as well be used up as it's getting old. No point in wasting it.
