Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments

[UKBengali]

Even more crazy when you see that we took 402 billion from russia. Thats 2.5 years trade volume with China. The amount of lost assets that we took from them is astronomical.

Yes but Russia will simply deduct some of this in terms of the debts they owe to the West.

I do not know exactly how much of this is owed to the West but even if it is only half then take off 250 billion US dollars that they will not pay back.

This sounds so bizarre??

As fighting rages in Mariupol, Ukraine's Zelenskiy appeals for help from Israel

Russian and Ukrainian forces fought for the Ukrainian port city of Mariupol on Sunday, where residents are trapped with little food, water and power, while Ukraine's president appealed to Israel for help in pushing back Russia's assault.

"Everybody knows that your missile defence systems are the best... and that you can definitely help our people, save the lives of Ukrainians, of Ukrainian Jews," said Zelenskiy, who is of Jewish heritage.

Relax there is no hate no love.
Most Europeans know too little about China that they hate or dislike you chinese. majority Europeans know chinese from visiting restaurants, that’s all.

reported for racism

what European countries would do if Russians thread to use their nukes if they don't free up their assets !?

Simple, tell Russia - Do it!

well , now that Iran is openly targeting Israelis bases , I doubt they dare to help Ukraine and make Russia angry ...

Russians were helping Israelis against Iran in Syria ... or atleast , they were binding Iran hand and in same times , they were keeping their eyes close against Israelis attack against Iran ...

Zelenski is an idiot ...

Yes! Tell them to do it!

Which they won't..

I'm not Russians , this is a question from you guys , what you will do if Russians give this ultimatum to you ?
start a world war III and get killed for sake of rubbery ...

and did you know by freezing Russians assets , you give them one of best excuse in history books for invading or initiating a "JUSTIFIED" war against yourselves ?


you can sanction others ( which can be seen as act of war ) and get away with it , but you can not take other counties money and get away with it ...

well , you take Iran money , we don't have enough power to do anything , but if we have enough power to back our words , we simply would burn the world for it ... or at least some Iranians like me would ask for it ...

Yes! Tell them to do it!

Which they won't..

see , all of you dodging the question instead of answering it ...

 

[Apollon]

well , I don't think you understand the consequence of this act ...
If you can froze a nuclear power assets then you can do to any other country ...
logical act is not hold money in west or use their currencies as assets to save rich ...


what European countries would do if Russians thread to use their nukes if they don't free up their assets !? after all they don't have any legal basis for this rubbery ...

well , look like the arrogant westerns don't want to think about this at all !!

We have nukes ourself buddy.

Also i dont think taking money is equal to threaten with death. If i take stuff from you, you can counter in taking from me but not threaten with death.

I think thats also in iranuan law that life is holy even if we are robbing you.

Yes but Russia will simply deduct some of this in terms of the debts they owe to the West.

I do not know exactly how much of this is owed to the West but even if it is only half then take off 250 billion US dollars that they will not pay back.

I know, they said if we look at debt ect we are still 100 billion in plus

Though I don't agree with the 'vassal' part, Russia's door to the west or even most of Europe is closed for the foreseeable future. And you are also right: This is a Chinese victory. The 'strategic ambiguity' which Russia had is gone. And I think Indians are nervously watching this all. From the blogspace, Indians are extremely wary of American support.
We sure are living in interesting times!

If Europe knew what's best for it they wouldn't have fallen for the anti-Russia bandwagon. This war is meant to damage Europe as much as Russia. We got this war just when Nord Stream 2 was ready to start pumping gas and Germany and Russia would have become closer.

I support Germany in doing a Hitlerian level of rearmament and then breaking away from Anglo-Zionist control. Not that it would be easy, since Germany is firmly in their grip.

I would ignore the ultimatum.

Anyway You dramatising. These sactions are designed to increase their costs, not bring them down. Feeezing assets is not taking their money, is blocking it`s usage for specific time. Anyway, why did they put the money in Western banks and currency in the first place, when they were planning such an action ?

Wow, didn't know all those aspects of Iran and Syria.
But, yes, Zelensky sounds like an idiot for bringing up the Jewish angle, asking for Israeli help. Bringing religion is one quick way to polarize people from different countries.

Well answer your question. You think we would give the money back then or what?

Ukrainians captured another Msta-S self propelled howitzer from Russian bums who invade Ukraine for land and women.

Top attack atgms and low observable drones seem to be not currently defeatable by tanks. Only passive measures like smoke screen and efficient dispersion can be developed and installed on tanks with limited effectiveness. Smoke screen needs to cover 360 degrees and also on top of the tank for unlocking top attack missiles. It should also block both IR for blocking heat seekers and visible spectrum to block optical-laser guidance. Also chaff dispersion is necessary for hellfire agm types that have mmw radar seekers.

Also some specialised platforms are needed to detect incoming atgm launches then alert all vehicles to launch their smoke screens individually. The early warning vehicle needs to include both a radar dome and iir array 360 degree seeker. It is evident that tanks detection systems are not enough and air defense platforms, apcs, mlrs etc. cannot carry sensors required to detect atgms all at the same time. Some quad copter cheap drones need to be in air continiously scanning for laser pointers on the ground targeting the vehicles or nearby.

This also wont work against uav guided artillery strikes or mini drone attacks like switchblade having low ir/radar signature. Smaller glide bombs also would have very low radar-ir signature. Mam-L missile that TB-2 uses has small size and ir signature and only after the initial attack they can deploy passive measures to obscure themselves.
