Russian special military operation in Ukraine #48

Interesting find by Viktor Murakhovsky

New rocket?

The picture shows a T-90M tank firing in the Seversky direction. The second picture shows a frame from the commander's video viewing device.

The fire is conducted by a guided missile (letter "U", marked), its tracer is visible above the aiming line (marked), at a distance of 6830 meters (marked). It is known that the missile "Invar-M" has a range of 5000 meters.

Weird:

As they say, what the Russians will not come up with, if only not to build shelters for aircraft - judging by the satellite image of September 1, at the Engels airfield, Tu-95MS strategic bombers cover the top with car tires to protect against UAVs

Story of helicopter that landed in Kharkov oblast got new episode.
https://t.me/milinfolive/105934

Almost a month after the flight of the Russian Mi-8AMTSh, Ukrainian propagandists announced a report about this event and an interview with the pilot.

Recall that according to one version, the helicopter pilot lost his landmark, for some reason all his instruments failed, as a result of which the Mi-8 landed on the territory of Ukraine. According to another version, the pilot initially planned the escape and carried it out under the control of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine.

Of course, for such a long processing time, a person can be forced to say and do anything on video. Recalling the recent situation on the Dnieper, Major Tomov, who was captured, became the hero of a good Ukrainian "decree" just a few hours after the capture, to say nothing of a longer period.

However, in our subjective opinion, it does not seem that the pilot in the video speaks "on a piece of paper", and the story of the failure of all instruments, including the civilian navigator that they take with them, looks extremely rotten.

The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has published an order according to which certain categories of those with limited fitness are now also subject to conscription into the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

So, now the sick will be called:
- tuberculosis,
- hepatitis,
— HIV,
- with mild mental disorders and neurotic disorders,
- with certain diseases of the central nervous system, blood, endocrine system,
- with episodic paroxysmal disorders (panic attacks, fainting, dizziness, epileptic seizures).

All this is taking place against the backdrop of an active struggle against those who evade on medical grounds and threats of extradition from Europe for those whose illnesses are in doubt. As it is easy to understand, even despite the constant mobilization, the problems with the personnel of the enemy are still significant.

A dumb concrete shelter can be made in few days and cost more or less 5000$.

Witty comment from Fighterbomber on whole tire affair:

There is such a thing in science.  I don't remember exactly what it's called, but the idea is that a group of scientists randomly mix various ingredients in the hope of obtaining substances previously unknown to science.  With the goal of world peace, of course.

It seems to me that the tires on the Tu95x are from this series.
Let's kick it and see what happens.  Especially tires, they are free and there are a lot of them.  They will ask from the upper headquarters "did you take measures there?"  Answer that with "Yes, sir!"  Accepted, commander!  Increased amplification of armor penetration and stealth of strategists.  And at least the drone operator will go nuts, and while he consults with Nato, what kind of garbage is this, the drone will capture the chipboard with a bayonet-knife.
Well, I have no other assumptions why the **** it was done.  Although I have a complete order with fantasy.
From above they demanded to do something and report back.  Something was done and reported.  Everyone is happy.  NATO is in shock.  As usual.

At the same time, we must understand that we do not have a war.  We have SMO.  And in the SMO, not only are gabions for building shelters for aircraft and personnel not allowed, you are not even allowed sandbags.
Here we enjoy the views of tires from satellites.

Tyres ? Not as crazy as it sounds ! The key is : Available materials . Does small frag rounds penetrate Rubber ? No , if it is thick enough . An improvement to this idea ; Why not heat Tyres into flat sheets , and put them on trolley carriers , for wings and body ? Believe it or not , I once was talking about reactive armour for planes with someone , well a lite version ! Keep smiling .

The ethnic Ukrainians have been infiltrating the Polish power structures for decades, and they have been undermining the ethnic Poles at every turn.

Now they are openly singing the UPA anthem in Warsaw, which has been practically turned into their power base (only 8% of people in Warsaw could be described as natives of that city).

It is a matter of time before they openly turn on Poland in a massive way.

Poles moved to Germany, Ukranians to Poland. That explains some of the insanity of Europe.

And Russians were meant to have moved to the Ukraine, after it had been couped and transformed into the cheapest resource colony and labour pool of all

That's how the Ponzi scheme of Western economies operate.

Didn't go as planned of course.

"Surrender us the deserters!": More than 160,000 Ukrainians of military age fled to Germany, they can be returned back - Bild

Only according to the official data of the German Ministry of Internal Affairs (as of February), 163,287 Ukrainians subject to mobilization entered Germany after the outbreak of hostilities.
The publication reports that this is more than half of the Ukrainian army at the moment.
Yesterday, the head of the Servant of the People faction of the Ukrainian president, David Arakhamia, said that Ukrainians liable for military service who left Ukraine on fake certificates of unfitness for service could be extradited home .

@Sprinter99800
On the territory of the Moscow region, additional sites have been created for the deployment of Pantsir-S1 Anti-Aircraft Missile Launchers, designed to protect the capital from possible attacks by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) from Ukraine.

#BREAKING Ukraine's Zelenskiy says he will propose dismissal of Defence Minister Reznikov this week, to propose Rustem Umerov as replacement

Yes, because regular steel wire net is hard to come by. Considering that most of the attacks were done by quadrocopters or fpv drones, wire net screen is good enough  and easy to install. For Strizh or anything heavier there is AA defence.
Price of those 2 Il-76 and Tu-22M3 that were destroyed is several hundred million dollars. Not to mention two damaged Tu-76 in Pskov and Beriev-50 hit in Belarus. All for the cost of few grand.

If they try to bring those people back from Europe and elsewhere, the blowback, I am thinking is going to be huge.

not a good way to represent yourself publicly to the U.S. like this

^^^
Nazis in US are CIA front anyway, same as in most of the Europe. Bits of Gladius program

By the way, what do you all think when Ukrainian offensive will finally run out of steam? They are doing infantry insertions and creep into Zapo and it seems to be working for them to reach the lines, instead of armour pushes. And they are not loosing as much maneuver assets as before, only manpower (they still have ample of empty heads at disposal in Zapo) what will be in their next master plan?

With the level of armour loses on Ukrainian side and Europe and UK having majority depleted of armour I wonder if and when will we see French and Greek AMX-10P,  AMX-30, AMX VCI, Panhard AML, and German wiesels (to name a few) yet to make an appearance most likely majority still in storage apart from the wiesels. Or is a case they no longer want to send armour to Ukraine?

I don't think this was ever really the case. The remembrance of the previous wars is what was keeping the peace. Just like before.

Has the Ukraine war not exposed nukes as a bit of a red herring all along ? Medvedev makes statements about nukes almost weekly. And the US carries on arming Ukraine to fight for Nato ownership of the entire country + Crimea. If nukes hasn't even dissuaded the US of even thinking about changing its policy on Crimea, what good are they doing ?

Taiwan is in around the same place as Ukraine was in 2018. The state of war already exists. It started with the Pelosi visit. There are no negotiations. There is nothing to negotiate. The US will keep crossing China's brightest of all red lines. And China will eventually attack. It has no choice. China has nukes. They didn't stop this from happening.

Putin really did seem to believe that the US was going to force Russia to attack. And only then, throw on the sanctions and then make some sort of deal. Putin thought that because Russia has nukes. But they didn't matter.

Even if the US openly planned to attack Russia, and it had the option of using its own troops, it would probably prefer to use Ukraine troops anyway. So the nukes almost counted for nothing.

Extremely short sighted and frankly ignorant statement. Nukes most assuredly matter. The issue is it is the ultimate option and the west knows Russia doesnt want to use them. Some in the west wish to goad Russia into hasty escalation in order to hopefully cause enough internal strife that Russia gets regime changed. Did you see the canned comments here after the drone strike? Immediate calls for Putin to resign? Over RC quadcopters with c4 planted on them?

The west is only behaving as it has because Russia has nukes. If it didnt things would be oh so very different. The west is pushing as brazenly as it can to cause mischief. Thry will continue to until Putin is gone or they are gone from power. Things are not good at all. The neocons cannot win. Because if they can regime change Russia they can do it to all other nations on earth.
