The Russia/Ukraine War Thread


Sharpshooter

Recommended Posts

It’s a better situation now, for F16’s to be engaged,

Ruz is low on intelligence,.  UKraine receives and searches for a lot.

 

F16’s give the ability to react in a time frame that could shut down a RuZ missile attack from a long range target.

Scalps and Shadows are sufficient,.

but Taurus would cause major setbacks by destroying anything on standby from the remote of RuZ that has the probability of moving to the rear of the lines.. and then some.

This is what needs to happen, the Russian people need to stand up and say, ENOUGH!

 

The only problem - this is for all the wrong reasons. They all still believe that they are fighting "nazis" in Ukraine.

What? Why? 

From what I understand Iran struck Pakistan / India ..

I’ll find out a little more ,  and try NOT to derail the thread Sharps..

 

but most of this goes back to RuZ twisting arms to create Chaos.

 

If we can all agree on that ,  then perhaps posts with connections to RuZ global chaos can be posted here from time to time.

 

maybe we add “Related Activity “  as a disclaimer ,  just as we did when Video would appear to be , or is “Graphic” .

“Related Activities “
 

Russian companies are experiencing increasing difficulties in making payments to Turkey and China, key "friendly countries" that provide more than half of the imported goods supplied to Russia.

Chinese banks, as well as Turkish banks, are severing ties with Russian credit organizations, a Russian media reports, citing sources in the banking sector and foreign trade. 

Reportedly, this is happening "because of pressure from the United States." The U.S. Finance Ministry warned in late December that it would penalize foreign banks "supporting Russia's military efforts" with sanctions.

In Turkey, this has led to an almost complete paralysis of export operations to Russia, Ekonomim wrote the day before. Sources of the Russian media confirm that almost all major Turkish banks working with Russia are blocking payments, including payments in liras and rubles, and closing accounts for "colleagues" from the Russian Federation.

As for Chinese banks, the problems with them began in November and became more frequent in December, says Sanjar Ashuraliev, general director of the Delko transportation company. "Payment for cargo transportation, if the payer is not a resident of the country, takes a long time. According to the latest data, it takes up to a week for money to come," Ashuraliev complained.

 

 

Putin is like that Villan in the latest Bond flicks.  ..  “Spectre”. 
tentacles everywhere.

Outstanding UKraine ingenuity!!

 

This guided missile is normally launched from aircraft..

 

Ukraine has attached a wheel system that drops off after takeoffs from an airstrip or highway !!

 

Simple , effective..     and the wheels cost less than an F16 !!   Lol 

 

reading through the comments, it’s a great way for the jet engine to ignite and warm up before take off,  rather than launch into a free fall before ignition..

 

coming to an Eastern and Southern border near you soon 😉 

 

Slava Ukrani

T90’s seem to be as agile as T50’s ..

a waste of iron …

hopefully UKraine melts all those down and builds a Naval Fleet Bigger than Putins ..

 

 

 

I’m no expert but those Bradley’s are incredible for where we are at in the war.  Russia has less MBTs so can saturate the field with overpowering strength, meaning the Bradley’s won’t face as much risk!! Slava Ukraini!!

With a full borne Euro support for Ukraine I doubt Trump would abandon Ukraine.

 

I agree with everything you said, except for this. Trump isn't about saving lives. He isn't about doing the "right" moral thing. He's about gaining as much support for himself so he can regain power. Whether or not this war is significantly costing America or not is quite secondary to the PERCEPTION of the public. Propaganda from both Russia AND the hardline Republican supporters is thick with imagery of drug-zombified people walking the street and living in tents. And many haven't educated themselves to realize that they are sending second-rate equipment and it's only cost them 75 billion so far out of their 6+ trillion annual budget. They don't realize this support is really not having a major impact to the US ability to fund other programs, or that seeing Russia defeated now may end up eliminating the need to use their own forces later - should Putin decide to continue his conquest into other countries which could necessitate an article 5 response.

Also, keep in mind that Trump has been claiming since the war started that it would not have happened under his watch, and that he could end it immediately. Besides likely being untrue (along with most of what he claims), the ONLY way he could really impact things is to withdraw all support for Ukraine, and likely eventually NATO. (The latter of which he was trying to do while he was in office already.) He projects himself like he has power over Putin's decisions - which he really doesn't at all. So I believe that is precisely his plan - Abandon Ukraine. Negatively affect millions and world history so he can get another day in the sun.

Sounds about par for the course.

He'd likely be sending aid to Putin.

and  build a wall to glorify himself, 

only to have people dig tunnels under,or fly over .

He will be the next Orban,  taking his cues for hookers and blow from Putin.

 

Hanging for treason to a country, at that level of power, especially the US of A , should be his threat.
