Not looking good. Eastern military district is on the move, Iskanders moving etc.
Hopefully there won’t be many casualties.
Yooo this beat is nuts
I have a question. Why don’t NATO build up military on the border with Russia? For the past year Russia behaves like a brain damage country and they constantly threataning security of Europe.
Oh come on Putin, piss off already!
Russia’s strategy on Ukraine is one of compellence because it has calculated that the risk of not acting now will be far higher in the future. It is evident that Ukraine will remain a permanent hostile nation, this has been in the making for decades, well before the events of Crimea or the Donbas.
What we are seeing is essentially Russia drawing the red lines on NATO expansion and Ukranian armament ambitions. The talk of invasion that I have seen many articles and analyst throw around is highly unlikely. Russia has no plans to push deep into Ukranian territory, this is why those Javelins and armaments being supplied will have little impact. If you listen to most of the senior leadership in Moscow, the talk is always of ‘military technical means’. This can be deciphered as a suppresion campaign using the technical means available in the way of 3M-54 Kalibr cruise missiles and it’s large array of Iskander missiles. Russia has the luxury of sitting behind it’s cushion of air defence platforms inclusing S300, S400 & BUK systems behind it’s borders and take out pretty much the entire Ukranian air force, Navy and it’s single warehouse at Starokostiantyniv Air Base which host all of their Turkish TB2 drones.
Beyond this engagement, Russia has no need to engage any further strikes on Ukranian ground positions as they pose little threat once the air superiority has been established. From then on, we’ll start to see Russia adopting a doctrine in the same way that Israel has for Palestine or Syria, where they conduct ad hoc campaigns to keep armament threats to a low.
