Russian special military operation in Ukraine #58

same with Il-76 ?

The Il-76 was shot down near Belgorod, roughly 50km from the Ukro border.
The claimed attack on the A-50 supposedly happened over the middle or even eastern parts of the Azov Sea.
The nearest area under Banderite controle is 130km away from the northern shore of the Azov Sea.
Max. range of the delivered Patriot system is 160km against high flying targets.
= out of range

he wouldn't have been appointed as Minister of Defense.

As Minister of Defence he is a member of the Security Council.
But he has to be formally introduced by the President.
That´s a bureaucratic procedure.

... that goes fast ...

Just a little fire in the engine compartment.
Nothing serious.

Can be fixed witch scotch!

... an with the PAC2 missile, as PAC3 lacks the range to operate 50 km into Russian territory.
But as map reading is way too challenging for our dumb&dumber doomers team, let's just walk by.

Germany transfers more Patriots to Ukraine, the USA takes its set from Poland to Ukraine. The weak European AD becomes even weaker. How many Patriot batteries can NATO and the USA still have?

The West wants to do it so that F-16s take off from Romania and Poland and fly to an airbase in Western Ukraine, from which they will take off, launch a cruise missile and return to Poland and Romania. From Romania itself, they can fly over Ukrainian territory and launch direct attacks.
This is similar to the Su-24 that launched SCAPL/Storm Shadow. Only F-16s will be stationed in Romania and Poland, they will be permanently serviced there, etc.
This is their last idea for escalation. The only thing left is for NATO to enter the war without any objections. If they arm them with JASSM, the Russian AD will probably deal with them like they did with SCALP. The AGM 158 itself is no more advanced than European missiles.

Not their last idea for escalation by any means

I mean they're not counting on these F-16s to change anything

It's just another way for them to enter the war further as you say, do more damage, and try to either spook Russia into a 'freeze' in the most optimal scenario, else provoke some sort of crisis and then a freeze after that.

And if Russia doesn't react then they will go further it's as simple as that.

The problem with circle jerk escalation is that when they escalate they hand Russia the opportunity to respond, which often means taking out power grid components or bridges or storage areas or airfields etc etc.

Before the conflict started there was talk of giving Kiev tactical nukes to defend themselves... I suspect that was part of the trigger that made the Russian attack happen... and will likely make them decide that enough is enough and that such an escalation requires a MAD response.

Of course losing their F-16s no matter where they operate from is going to be amusing... and now they are sending all their AD systems to the Ukraine what is the EU publics response going to be to Russian missiles taking down Orc F-16s in HATO airspace or on HATO bases.

The amusing thing is that there is no way for Russia to distinguish F-16s being flown by nazis, and F-16s being flown by Ukrainians, and if they are at the same base they will likely take them all out because they wont be able to tell which is which... and when that happens some might ask where HATO air defence is when it is supposed to be defending HATO countries and is actually defending Blackwaters assets in Ukraine.

People don't understand the importance of escalation dominance, those same people also believe Putin made a mistake by not entering the Ukraine in 2014 when the 13000+ sanctions from hell would've crushed the Russian economy and sowed the seeds of a color revolution.

NATO is slow walking this escalation, using WW3 as a saber rattle in the hopes of spooking Russia into a ceasefire agreement or freeze in the conflict. But these people are cowards beyond words and unlike the Russians, aren't willing to sacrifice their lives nor their lavish lifestyles in order to defeat the enemy, hence this proxy war with the Ukraine used as the broken, expendable, -covered condom to try and F*ck Russia with.

Voevoda is crying again

https://t.me/ZOV_Voevoda/14999

to sacrifice their lives nor their lavish lifestyles in order to defeat the enemy,

No matter which dude will be the puppet of the deep state/oligarchs
in Washington after the next "elections", the Ukro thingy will die down.
Biden only needs the war to go on so that he can´t be blamed for the strategic loss.
Trump isn´t much interested at all.
Either one will end the money stream and from one day to another the MSM will stop
talking about "Ukraine", except some stories about russian atrocities.

In Crimea, attacks on air defense position areas continue. On the night of June 9-10, command posts, radars, launchers and equipment of several S-400 and S-300 crews were destroyed. Today the enemy also announced the destruction of several radars. And right now there are several NATO reconnaissance aircraft in the skies over the Black Sea, which are directly related to the systematic destruction of Crimean air defense.

What could air defense losses in Crimea grow into? Most likely, the F-16 will actively work on the peninsula, since in the future military units, government buildings, fuel reserves, strategic infrastructure and much more will be under attack from air weapons of Western fighters.

Obviously, the production rate does not in any way cover the level of current losses, so a solution must be found here and now. And the only correct way out of the situation will be the destruction of NATO Long-Range Warning aircraft and RQ-4 Global Hawk UAVs over the Black Sea, which are harbingers of attacks on our air defense, navy, aviation and even nuclear infrastructure.

Of course, many will argue that this is an unnecessary risk, and the consequences can be unpredictable. But let’s say objectively that there will be no consequences. The United States has already crossed literally all the “red lines,” the last of which was the ban on strikes on Russian territory. No one will take revenge for one drone, or even for several AWACS pilots, who, moreover, will fall on their own and all coincidences are random. At the moment, all our problems come from the lack of an answer: sunk ships, bombed air bases, destroyed air defense systems, and most importantly, killed military personnel. “Playing defensively” is obviously doomed to failure, and the sooner this is understood, the better.

This is cope

They’re saying they were removed after being hit

Empty mud holes don’t mean anything

S400 production doubled and even quadrupled long ago , you can check the factories and the production of missile systems for that

Although I agree , NATO recon assets should be downed, in this case this is Ukro cope

Happy Russia day

Arkhangelsk went sailing

Stavropol went sailing

A100 went flying

Couldn't ask for more crystal clear evidence of a destroyed S-300/400

Slightly different view

On the use of NATO air bases by Ukrainian F-16s Yesterday it became known that some F-16 fighter jets, which will be transferred to the AFU, will be based not on the Ukrainian territory, but on the airbases of the North Atlantic Alliance to avoid strikes against them. Such a scenario was expected. 
Firstly, the fighter jets are already in Romania (specifically at the Fetesti base), where the pilots are being trained, so the AFU pilots are familiar with airbases and flight routes.  
Secondly, test flights from Romania in the direction of Odesa region have already been made and more than once. F-16s flew over Tulcea, flew to Vylkove and made several circles over Snake Island.  
Thirdly, the fighters will be safer on the territory of NATO countries. A strike on Alliance airfields would lead to total escalation, which is why it was officially announced that NATO infrastructure would be used by fighter jets to strike Russia.

Within the next month or so, we're going to wake up to news of Russia destroying several airbases in Romania and I'm gonna have a shit-eating grin as wide as the grand canyon when it happens. Let Romania cry for Article 5 like the pussies they are.

We have satellites and drones that can read license plates and this is the best that can be found? Can't fucjing see shit, especially on the after photos.

Grasping at straws Caveat and the crybar team pushes.

Crimea river

After a little reflection , post discussion with Firebird , my conclusion about outside interference in Ukraine : We can not argue from the point of view that outsiders violated Ukrainian border by sending troops or planes or equipment in order to strike at them . Since after SMO , and regions voting to join Russia , then old borders have no legality . We can not argue for striking against outside interference , simply because they operated outside their borders , in non-defined or disputed territory . We can only argue for striking against outside interference , if they give material assistance of a nature not available generally or as a result of Ukrainian own effort and resource .

Therefore it becomes right to strike at outsiders for reason of increasing capability of Ukraine . But actual strikes , depends on military decisions . Are the aid given of significant value ? Will it affect the outcome of conflict ? If so by how much ? Striking back in a way that brings the outsiders into the fight in a major way , how much force will be brought in ?

If the answer is that outside help will substantially slow down advances , increase Russia casualties or damage economy in a long term permanent fashion , then there is no choice and strikes on outsiders are unavoidable . It matters not where these retaliatory strikes are done . The place with greatest effect on MIC . Otherwise if advances continue with speed and casualties not increased much and economy doing well , then simply defend for now . I think strong defence now with some moves of symbolic importance only . Soon they will have to bring out old age pensioners on wheelchair to fight !

Still burning so significant hit last night.

Near Kiev, an industrial enterprise is burning all day after a night missile strike. 226 Ukrainian rescuers were involved in extinguishing the fire, but they still cannot cope with the fire. - ISZ reports

No small craters from shrapnel and debris.
Vegetation unharmed.
Definitely a clear hit. 

Arkhangelsk went sailing

Where did you go? 

A strike on Alliance airfields would lead to total escalation

The escalation is the part when you send aircraft from your airbases to attack another country.

Still burning so significant hit last night.

Those smokers. 

If all else fails, Russia may use tactical nukes high over unpopulated areas of Ukraine to clear the sky of enemy fighters- no need to strike airbases in Poland & Romania.

While NATzO trash talks about war on Russia it is sending its last AD systems to the Kiev regime. Does not look to me like these clowns
are expecting a Russian attack. If they were, then they would be giving the Kiev regime nothing. There are no replacements in ample
quantity.

Right now they are all panicking and sending whatever little they have left of AD because Russia is hitting Sumy. And once Russia takes it, they are stone throw away from Kiev and they can move a massive army through there.

That said, I want old man Franco to give us update on the composition of forces of Russia in Ukraine and near Ukraine border.
