Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments

[EasyNow]

This events shows that Putin thinks at a tactical level - and it shows the flaws in the strategic thinking of the Russian 'system' at a whole.

Sweden and Finland WILL join Nato now - there is no stopping that now.

Regardless of what 'tactical' wins Putin may gain - he and Russia have both lost strategically - Russia will be neutered after this event and will not be allowed to be able to challenge like this again.

Europe is united and defence spending is going up massively in Europe - this means that the Americans have to spend less on "defending Europe" and the Europeans will aggressively look to build up that capability themselves.

This leaves the Americans "more free" to tackle China at a military level - and I don't think that change has been lost on the Chinese at all.

The China - Russia axis has become a-lot weaker from this war. So - were the Russians goaded into this war with larger strategic objectives by the Americans ?

I think you're right in your assessment.

NATO goaded Russia into suicide here - they've managed to engage Russia, without world war, before it gets too strong.

On March 7 and 15, total 14 helicopters of the invading Russian forces deployed at Kherson airport were destroyed. An artillery attack was carried out on the same base, one week apart.

Facepalm... Helicopters were stationed within enemy artillery range and an entire fleet was lost. Look, it's great shame for any army. No NATO country army would do such an amateurish thing.

It is one of the dozens of indicators that the Russian army has become a rotten structure with a merit problem.

2003 attack on karbala.

31 apaches were turned back after being hit by AA. 1 shot down, 1 crashed/shot down, remaining 29 damaged by AA with an additional 2 more being damaged beyond repair.

Losses happen in war. Its a sad reality.

No countrys military is perfect. There will ALWAYS be a time when things dont go your way

The Chinese are now throwing the Russians under the bus

The average depth of the Azov Sea is 15 meters. 70% of it shallower than 8 meters. Ukraine has also mined all coastal waters in Azov. But some so-called military experts claim that Russian submarines are roaming in this sea.

The extreme Russia admiration of some ex-soldiers in some European countries (inc. Turkey) is remarkable.

The fact the Russians are using expensive PGMs on civilian infrastructure just confirms the idiocy and corruption of senior military leadership. Have no doubt the US military would skulldrag these buffoons on the battlefield.

"Russian helicopters at Kherson Air Base were shot by Ukrainian artillery. Satellite images show burning helicopters. The other helicopters look like they weren't transported and left to their fate."

Imagine a future where a large cruise missile delivers 10's/100's of smart/AI based suicide drones over an airfield each with the explosive power of a grenade. The Americans and Chinese are working on this and others will not be that far behind.

Future of warfare is brutal and *** fast *** ... entire suites of capabilities can be lost in a moment.. Such a change - requires a change in doctrine and who "strikes" first becomes ever more important than it used to in the past - given how much damage first mover advantage offers you now..

Drones are a massive game changer as is AI ... dont think everyone has worked out what this means for the future of warfare yet.

Some mentally retarded members here argued that Montreux was to block Russia and that Turkey is hostile to Russia. Anyone remember?

You can see at that airbase so many dispersal points - one for each helicopter - which would have reduced the impact of artillery strikes - lack of tactical thinking is shocking at multiple levels.
