Russian special military operation in Ukraine #39

Only as long as he doesn't do something retarded like detonating nuclear bomb on Russian territory wrote:

I know a better solution for the NATO infestation inside Ukraine. wrote:

On 3 February 2023, the United States government announced an aid package for Ukraine as part of assistance during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine that would include the GLSDB which will be used in the Ukraine-operated HIMARS to hit Russian targets that had been moved out of GMLRS range. This will mark the weapon's first export and use in combat. However, since the weapon is not part of the U.S. military inventory and can't be launched from current Ukrainian equipment, it is estimated it could take up to nine months for Boeing and the U.S. government to agree on the terms of the contract and perform necessary retrofits on ground launchers.[14][15][16][17]

Right now the only thing that can likely stop a Ukrainian move into Transnistria would be a rapid coup in Moldova. The US has been laying the groundwork for this activity over the last few months in Moldova, culminating in Sandu dissolving the cabinet due to threats of "Russian-backed takeover."

She's therefore ruling without a government (undemocratically), which gives her the leeway to provide Ukraine with permission to attack Transnistria under the false pretense of a Russian threat against the government of Moldova.

Biden's visit to the region of course coincides with all of this, and the Ukrops are no doubt salivating at the prospect of surrounding and capturing the Russian garrison there.

While this bitch will be signing the end of the Moldovan state; the country will destabilize rapidly as soon as the first Ukrainian soldier crosses the border into Pridnestrovie wrote:

But Ukraine troops wouldn't have to cross through Moldova proper. Aren't Transnistrians seen as separatists to regular Moldovans?

@FP
Pridnestrovie has its own military and its own reserves, and no-one will surrender Russian land or the people who live on it, or the people who defend it; not to Ukrainian nationalists, as not to anyone else.

Wasn't most of the heavy equipment from Pridnestrovie transferred to Russia proper after armistice was signed?
And Russian peacemakers don't have any artillery or heavy armour, as well. Due to it's geography, Pridnestrovie would be very hard to defend.

@FP
You really think neither Russia or the PMR has thought through the scenario of Ukrainian invasion of the territory prior to the war? Russian Spetsnaz were holding exercises there regularly post-2014.

Mariupol is out of range for the normal HIMARS missiles, so presumably they've received a first batch of GLSDB, with the first ever combat test being to fire them at large cities indiscriminately. 100% intercept rate so far, no "arrivals" reported. wrote:
