Ecuador wants to transfer Russian military equipment to the US to be sent to Ukraine
Good deal for him actually. In terms of russian weapons, Ecuador has 200 old igla and 10 Osa obtained from ukraine. Not worth 100$ and he gets 200 million for it.
Killing the enemy is an essntial part of winning a war, true. But by successful interdiction, taking away their ammo, fuel and food you make the killing much less riskly, cut down their manuever options, and can trigger mass surrenders that lower your losses and accelerate time to victory. If your killing rate approaches extermination you will likely get a collapse. That would be good for Russia as NATO will have no escalation options in the face of massive collapses at the front. The key is to move events faster then NATO can react.
Explanation is simple: The ever dumbass Russian Navy was sailing their obsolete tub in the range of enemy missiles with defenses turned off while in the middle of the war thinking they are some untouchable hot shit
They were as always proven wrong
Interruption of the transportation lines is important.
He is right. Moskva was sunk. Those naval Osa not rised is probably because of the bad state of the ship and they were not even functional.
Hope for them it's useless to keep a cruiser designed to fight US carriers unmaintained in a big lake.
Such ships are juicy targets and easy to destroy if you use them badly and the opponent is smart.
After Nikolaev is taken, the unfinished sister ship Ukraina will be completed & replace the Moskva, or will be used as parts source for the Varyag &/ Marshal Ustinov.
That will scare the Ruskies
GLSDB is the new wonder weapon.

I suspect Russia wont go bananas over this... in fact I suspect the opposite... there will likely be an import ban on bananas from Ecuador that is likely going to cost them rather more than $200 million dollars.
1/5th of it =0.7B, or $700M.Ecuador is the world's leading banana exporter, with sales worth around $3.5 billion in 2022. Around a fifth of its annual sales goes to Russia. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2024/02/04/ecuador-russia-bananas-military-exports-diplomacy/65f8976e-c39c-11ee-bbc9-9b5ca9b20779_story.html#:~:text=Ecuador%20is%20the%20world's%20leading,annual%20sales%20goes%20to%20Russia.

https://tass.ru/mezhdunarodnaya-panorama/19900667The Georgian special services detained a cargo containing explosives, which was sent from Odessa to Voronezh through the territories of Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey and was probably intended for use in terrorist attacks. This was reported by the State Security Service of Georgia.
"It has been established that explosive devices and substances were brought to Georgia from the Ukrainian city of Odessa on January 19, passing through Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey through the Sarpi checkpoint in a minivan-type car owned by a citizen of Ukraine. It was planned to bring [explosives] to the Russian Federation, to the city of Voronezh through the Daryali checkpoint," the message says.

Putin's main objective in this war is not a Russian victory, but making the Ukrainians into heroes that they are not.

I disagree: there r many ethnic Russians who may prevent any sabotage.No way that the Ukrainians will leave that ship in salvageable condition.
no, it was maintained for years, & it's still cheaper & faster to complete it with modern gear & weapons requiring less crew, than to build a new hull of this size.ALAMO wrote:This ship represents a scrap value only.
Any try to make it operational would cost twice, as it requires replacement of everything that is inside.
All the cabling, all the piping, all the furniture, every_fukin_thing.
Dismantling first, and making brand new.
What's more, this ship requires a huge concerning today's standards crew.
You can man three ships, every one of which will represent the same potential. It makes it very costly to operate.
Russia operates them only because they are still in floating conditions, and were designed as flotilla flagmans, which means having special communication, command&control tools&personel on board.

So, an extra CG or DDG will be worth having in the long run.
For example, military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are trained in Spain, the Netherlands and other European countries, whose military personnel are virtually devoid of combat experience and it is unclear what they can teach Ukrainian soldiers.

not much worse than the Varyag was before being sold to China. Everything on Ukraina CG was conserved & they hoped to sell it for many years, so even if all its innards r gone or rotten, the hull can still be salvaged, new gear & arms added, & used as a warship or at least CG/training vessel. The Russians r now saving $Ms by getting rid of the D. Donskoi SSBN & the 2 Kirov Class CGNs that they decided not to upgrade.Time will tell!It was never in a pristine state to begin with and by now it will be in a sorry state even without sabotage the neglect would ruin many of the systems and parts...
