SilentSam Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Ukraine has started using US tactics from the Vietnam War against the Russian army The tactic, which has been dubbed "wild weasel", involves jet pilots allowing enemy air defense radars to detect themselves. The radar waves are then tracked down to their source, and then AGM-88 (HARM) missiles strike at the established coordinates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so he needs to die asap as I recall he was actually a credible military mind Surovikin remains 'retired'. Russian President Vladimir Putin has replaced his defense minister Sergei Shoigu with a civilian, Andrey Belousov, citing the country’s rising military spending and the need for “innovation.” Shoigu had been “relieved” of his post of Minister of Defense by presidential decree and been appointed Secretary of Russia’s Security Council, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Sunday night local time. Shoigu would also become Putin’s deputy in Russia’s Military-Industrial Commission, Peskov said, while Nikolai Patrushev, the previous Secretary of the Security Council, would “transfer to another job.” https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/12/europe/sergei-shoigu-putin-replaces-defense-minister-intl-latam/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honky Cat Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 World taking 'eye off the ball led to the position we see in Kharkiv', Shapps says The world taking its "eye off the ball" led to the position we see in Kharkiv today, defence secretary Grant Shapps has said. Speaking at the Sea Power Conference today, the minister reiterated the UK's complete support for Ukraine, saying Russia winning would be "unimaginable and unacceptable". He said: "I've heard repeatedly, including said to me by [Ukraine's] President Zelenskyy, which is that without Britain, they wonder whether they would still have been in this war at all." He listed the UK's commitments to Ukraine, and criticised the world for having taken its "eye off the ball" recently. "The amount of time it's taken to get the rest of the funding through has directly led to the position we see in Kharkiv today," he said. He added that he did not think the situation was "fatal", however, and said it was "an important lesson to the world not to lose attention about Ukraine"...Sky News. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we go by the Peter the Great analogies that Putin loves to compare himself to, Peter's right hand man and drinking buddy Menshikov was expelled from the capital, eventually stripped of his wealth and titles and banished to Siberia, dying on the way to exhile. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we go by an actual historic comparable for Putin, look at Franz Halder. Sadly, he wasn't held accountable for his crimes and died of old age after working with the US. Hopefully we don't repeat the same mistake and Shoigu dies screaming in agony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
