Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments

[CAPRICORN-88]

Meanwhile the shares Of Lockheed Martin and Raytheon, makers of the USD120K stinger and USD180K Javelin have soared to a new record high. Yes. The cost of each unit including the launcher and missile.

Are we ignoring about the warning of former US President Eisenhower about these military industries that lobbying for more wars?

Ukraine said they needs 500 Stinger and 500 Javelin per day.

Russian forces are going to be massively attrited if they remain in Ukraine. They can’t remain there long term if the US and NATO continue to supply Ukraine. The human and military costs eventually become too high.

Not to mention, general popular mobilization leads to the create of new BTGs armed with NATO systems. Overtime, we might even see Ukrainians military grow larger than what they started with, which is not uncommon in wars at all.

NATO is here to stay buddy. But hopefully it goes back to be a purely defensive pact.

NATO should be dismantled. The reason (you know full well): It's not a defensive pact. It's become geopolitical bullying tool serving the US' interests. The world is not in peace because of NATO.

The Russians keep making the same mistakes.

Small scale assaults that get obliterated or go nowhere. Large columns that get destroyed like that column of 5 tanks last week that got hit by artillery.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian capability continues to grow thanks to NATO.

Russia will not attack NATO because it is no match in a conventional war and, despite chest thumping, neither side will go nuclear. Engaging NATO is a one way trip to defeat and humiliation for Russia.

Russia had previously said that it would attack Sweden or Finland if they joined NATO. Now they have dialled their response down to putting nukes in Kaliningrad.

If not nuclear weapons nobody will care. Russia economy is smaller than Spain, will be about of Netherlands once sanctions bite. Because the West buy less Putin is selling oil and gas cheap to China and India. Russia can’t sustain a long conventional war against Ukraine.

Russia can’t sustain a long conventional war against Ukraine.

That is true but Europe will also feel the economic pinch as time goes on. The big question is whether Europe will defy the US and try to broker a peace, especially if Russia ceases advancing and goes into consolidation mode.

Will the US allow it?

This war can stop immediately If Putin withdraws the army entirely from Ukraine. It is in Putin hands to decide. Nobody else.

Ukraine's Finance Minister: Banning Russian energy means raising prices, and that will increase Moscow's revenues from energy sales elsewhere.

He can't stop the war becos NATO will invade Russia and keep the war machine production drumming. Rather than have the war at home. It's better to continue at Ukraine. NATO is a blood thirsty organization.

The Russian Defense reveals the human losses as a result of the sinking of "Moskva"

2022-04-22

The Russian Ministry of Defense revealed the final death toll from the cruiser "Moskva" accident, and announced that one of the crew members of the missile cruiser "Moskva" died while trying to put out the fire.

The ministry added that 27 other crew members were missing, and the remaining 396 crew members were evacuated.

The ministry pointed out that the vast majority of officers, naval men and sailors on the ship "Moskva" expressed their desire to continue service on board the ships of the Black Sea Fleet.

The Ministry of Defense stated: “A number of military personnel who wish to transfer to other garrisons will continue to serve on ships of other fleets.”

And the RIA stated that "396 other crew members of the ship were rescued."

Moscow says the Moskva, the flagship of its Black Sea fleet, sank last week after a fire caused an explosion of ammunition.

If you see volunteers, not conscripts, it means the war is going is well and ordinary people are enthusiastic about joining it. Being the one of the most battle-hardened and patriotic people on earth, the Russian people are rising up to the challenge and the call to defend their homeland.

It is safe to say you have a weird way of reasoning.

Er yeah, it's really showing throughout this campaign... /s

Does Zelinsky want to win a war with Beyraktar, Javelin and Stinger..not even the European cannons and the American Phoenix will be enough for his victory in the war.. He can inflict more field losses than expected for Russia, but in the end he cannot stop the numerical superiority in equipment, personnel and the air and missile superiority and the presence of a large percentage of the Ukrainians that support Russia in the areas it occupies..

War is more than a numbers game.

If it was just a numbers game than Russia would have already have taken the north .But a handful of Ukrainians armed mainly with bravery , javelins and NLAWS , managed to make them turn tail.

Don't know why you want to undermine the effect of all those weapons suppled to Ukraine.

I don't know of a time in history where so many countries sent aid to one country at war. More than 50 countries suppled aid , more than 30 countries are supplying military aid.


And some of the stuff they are getting is the most advanced weapon systems in the world. If they had managed at the beginning of the war with so little , one can presume they would do a lot better now.
