Russian special military operation in Ukraine #38

Another disclaimer I got nothing against the Turks, but I understand where they are coming from and why they all don't support Russia in the war.

1. Crimean tartars are basically a Turkish group that use to be a part of the ottoman empire in Ukraine. Being under Russian control is against Turkey's interest than it is being a part of NATO's control.

2. Turkey still has plans for incursions into Syria hence why them and Qatar are still funding the FSA. In facts some parts of Syria are controlled by Turkey and there are Turkmen which like the tartars are a Turkish group and for all we know they might claim Syrian land to be a part of Turkey claiming independence. But that might spark a war and the Syrians are still formidable opponents, the Iranians will jump in to assist Syria since Russia juiced them with S-400s and Su-35s while strengthening the country and Iran has created their own air defenses, own OTH radars, a lot of drone projects, etc. to be a formidable force. Russia bumped up their active dutry from 1 million to 1.15 million and I am hearing sources that 1.5 million, if necessary, might be needed for 2026. And of course they are still paranoid about the Greeks despite them being NATO members and they are getting F-35s and all that. Also, they don't trust the Jews enough that lobbied against them from receiving F-35s.

3. Azerbaijan and Albania are close partners to Turkey, as much as croatians are with the albanians hating Serbs based on Croatia's president i think the country low key might like Russia more than Turkey despite being NATO. So the Azeris and Albanians were probably acting up because Russia is distracted with the war so there is an unknown possibility of Russia deciding to assist either Armenia or Serbia.

Turkey launches their own 5th gen programs, stealth corvettes like Russia, making their own air defenses, a lot more drone projects, their own Altay tanks to become a force to be reckoned with in the middle east. But they got fucked with 4 earthquakes that have raised the death toll to 30,000 people and more than likely their spending might have to go rebuilding infrastructure because they got hit way harder than Syria. Because if Russia's objective is met with either demilitarizing all of Ukraine or letting the poles keep the western part of Ukraine this will shift most of Russia's attention back to the middle east where their country will continue growing strong economically and militarily more than likely fucking up Turkey's interests in the middle east like Syria. Again, I got nothing against Turks, but I understand their entire thought process.

Commenting on Airborne wolf's video of VDV and as a followup to my own comment on VDV

This video shows what I mean

Those units have so much firepower, that ZU23 is insane

It's cutting through the forest treeline like nothing- VDV is a real fighting force,

I think if the VDV was bolstered to 100k + they could do this shit themselves tbh

The VDV , maybe is armed with different weapons then the marines and that's why they have so much success

They also are able to engage in battle so quickly due to their mobility, and the capacity to sustain themselves is also above that of any of the other forces including motorized riflemen and marines

The VDV is my favorite infantry force of Russia- give them VKS support and those guys will tear a new asshole for hohols
