Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments

[Wood]

Think about it, it's one thing we provide target coordinate to the Ukrainian telling them where and when to hit their target, that should not do anything to Russian offensive capability, so assuming

I've seen opinions online that claim TB2 drones have been so successful in their attack and evasion because US intelligence has been guiding them on when to take off / attack and land. So no doubt, Ukraine is well backed by Uncle Sam's might.

So you blame @Ich just for being sane and refusing to be part of the lynch mob ?

He cant blame me. Maybe if he gets older he also gets more wise.

 

[thetutle]

yea ..nice story bruh. They were a few such things no doubt but you are vastly misrepresenting the issue. People who left east germany are white collars not poor or working men who were better off in a socialist country. And the reasons are obvious why they would go - just like engineers or surgeons queue up for us even from western european countries. us is the most highly capitalized and wages will be higher.

So why did border guards shoot on sight if it was soo good in east Germany? Why not let the blue collar workers go on holidays to Austria? West Germany? you know why. They would never ever come back to the "paradise" that was East Germany.

Well, I am saying this is more than just intelligence sharing, if a EC-130H is used (which I have no evidence or clue whether or not they were used) that mean US Air Force is providing active and offensive intelligence solution, which mean it is more than a passive role they were doing.

That plane jam communication, and I have had seen multiple report that non-dedicated line are spotty in Ukraine at best. This is a tell-tale sign 1 of these is doing its trick.

Ofcourse, US has to be sure that TB2s are safe to fly.

only few weeks ago, $1 was trading at 150 or so Rubles and now:

What is going on here? I was kinda expecting it to reach 200 against dollar but it is getting stronger instead.

I have an interesting talk with an A-Team buddy of mine last night. we chat about the Russian inability to enforce Air Superiority over Ukraine. He bring out 1 very good point. One of these is probably flying close to Polish Border and provide Air Defence Jamming to at least Western Ukraine.

No, it is not a C-130, this is a EC-130H Compass Call, we use them to jam Radar and Communication, also to intercept communication.

Think about it, it's one thing we provide target coordinate to the Ukrainian telling them where and when to hit their target, that should not do anything to Russian offensive capability, so assuming Russia force is not completely incompetent, there should be a reason as to why they under perform. One of this thing can cover a 500km radius, which if they are flying from Polish border, they are more than enough to cover the entire Western Ukraine (Kyiv is 400km from Poland). And they are Spec Op aircraft, so they most likely don't turn on their transponder (so nobody know they were there) and 2 of these will be able to provide coverage 24/7.

Any thought??

I am not good in military strategy. But seems nato already helping Ukrainian forces with live intel.

Dude - about 3-4 million migrated from east to west (there were hundreds of thousands from other side too). How many victims in border crossing ? 327 as per BBC : https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-40200305 . and this includes 24 border guards themselves shot.
Most of the shootings were within berlin area- because right in the heart of east Germany was literally a nato enclave. And east germany was paranoid about migrations there - not because of economic reasons but due to military/spy etc. As part of establishment of berlin enclave it got guarantees that it will not be used as conduit for human trafficking.

If you take out the shootings in highly militarized berlin and baltic sea (where it was mines)area then total deaths are just 16.

Also it is complete fabrication that east germany did not permit people to travel. In 1987 itself 2.8 million visits were made by east germans to west germans and majority came back home.

YOU consider ME a traitor? The half-German who studies in Germany and supports NATO wholeheartedly?

It's people like you who think that Americans will rush to our help and that Germans will support us and not Turkey,because we're in the EU.

Instead of keeping a balanced stance between Russia and the West,you think we should be trying hard to impress our "allies" in NATO and EU about how loyal we are to their "democratic" values and warmongering.

You call me a traitor? You? Kid,get a grip. You'd rather have us align with the Fourth Reich,just because you dislike anything eastern.

Man i feel pity for you. I really do.

Btw we are not allied. We are NATO. We are EU and im damn proud for that. And yes i see your mindset as that of a traitor.

Maybe move to russia and experience that shithole for yourself.

Bullshit. East germans were only allowed visiting west when older than 63 years old.

Another town was cleared from russian occupation

Not true they allowed less than retirement age as well in 80s;
