Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments

[Paul2]

Normally you would think an invading army would prioritize three things:
1. Destroy the country's airforce.
2. Destroy the country's air defence systems.
3. Cut off all reinforcement routes.
This is not rocket science and even an armchair general like me knows this.

Russia has been planning this attack for years and surely had the satellite imagery and intelligence network to know where every single Ukrainian aircraft was on the night of the invasion.

Russia certainly had the military capability to blitzkrieg #1 and #3, i.e. destroy the entire Ukrainian airforce within hours and to bomb out every paved road into the country from the rest of Europe. Destroying the Ukrainian air defence system (#2) could then be done leisurely once European reinforcements were denied.

So why didn't Russia do this?

Ukraine simply had really a lot of SAMs like any ex-USSR country.

And they know they don't have advanced antiradiation missiles which can bypass "anti-HARM" radar modulation which every late USSR SAM has.

On top of that, Ukrainians apparently been training exactly for such scenario of preserving SAMs under enemy SEAD. Their SAMs are alway moving in the rear. The caught off S300 TEL near Mikolayevsk is a proof of that.

Marina Ovsyannikova is Russian. However, the women protesting in the Tweet Video I posted is 'Ukrainian'.

I meant that the Ukrainian Women will be considered saboteur by Ukrainian Government, as she wants Zelensky to pay heeds to Russian Concern.

Greed and miscalculated. They wanted it and believed the ukrainians would bow to russia

You did not understand Amliunion's posted tweet which simply said that just like Marina wanted Putin to end the war, this Ukranian girl came on Ukranian TV wanting Zelensky to listen to Russian concerns and go back to his comedy career instead of remaining the president.



@Viet, see the above ? You tell me why is Zelensky though being a Jew is still supporting the Nazis like the Azov Battalion who are embedded in Ukranian military and administration.

Russia is nazi themself. Putin openly facist and the Azov battalion is effective in fighting russian invaders.

And they Preach on Freedom of Expression, Free Press etc to World:

Antonov's factory was destroyed by the Russians.
I remember all Indian warships use gas turbines from Antonov factory, right?
I remember an article said that only China's GT25000 can directly replace Ukraine's gas turbines. If gas turbines from the USA or Britain are used, the warship needs to be fully refitted. WOW, that's a lot of money.

I can’t believe that you called basements fallout shelters.

Basements have windows to the outside for air and light. They will have zero value as shelters in case of nuclear war.

Basement have window?

What kind of basement is that? And what do you need window for? you want to see dirt outside?

Basement is a generic term for most underground structure. An Apartment building for example can have multiple storey underground parking structure, I am pretty sure the building code for those structure are positive air pressure so air flow out, not in.

Germany does stop using russian gas by 2023. Russia lost its only income

Bunch of Hypocrites - We are at War - Russian Media ban but that doesn't apply on GAS.

Russia will find other alternatives.

Good luck with that.

You also dont understand that Europe simply doesnt want any connection with the russian regime. Putin did not expect that europe crushs any russian presence so quickly.

On a personal matter, im an athlete and i will definitly not compete with russians. So banning russians evrywhere is a good thing.

Ukraine simply had really a lot of SAMs like any ex-USSR country.

Russia would have had some idea of how many SAMs Ukraine had before Polish/Romanian reinforcements and they could have prepared a barrage of cruise missiles in the initial attack.

Russia has been planning this war for years; it is not something they sleepwalked into on a bored Sunday afternoon.

P.S. As crazy as it sounds, I am thinking maybe some of Putin's generals deliberately screwed up this offensive to get rid of Putin.

Europe does what US tells.

Good Luck with Banning Russian everywhere, this figment of imagination will never be fulfilled.

The risk for German economic recession has become more probable due to Ukraine war.

This has been reported by IMK (Instituts für Makroökonomie und Konjunkturforschung ).

It has now gone from green-yellow to yellow-red.

The war must come to an end... very soon!
