Russian Invasion of Ukraine[In Progress]

[tvbcof]

Looks like the legit Western politicians and their constituents have been gyped and played for fools.  Ukraine's leadership took a lot of money and weapons over the year promising a 'greatest counteroffensive' and it seems that they mostly just stole the money and have little or no intention of doing much fighting.  Well played!  The oligarchs like Kolomoiski didn't get rich because they are stupid and they didn't fund the nazis because they love the ideology.

I predict that Ukraine will do a couple of feeble pokes here and there, and will 'gain some ground', but mostly because the Russians love to fight under conditions where they can get 10/1 kill ratios.  It's very effective 'de-militarization' of Ukraine which was one of the primary stated goals of SMO.  Any territory 'lost' by the Russians will be re-occupied almost for free a bit later on in the game assuming the Russians are even interested in it.

And I see that you have a direct connection with Kolomoiskyi and other oligarchs, who, probably, personally told you about how and for what they stole the money. In fact, the "great counter-offensive" was promised not by Ukraine, but by the allies who are helping us restore our territorial integrity. The Ukrainian leadership has repeatedly stated that it is not worth placing great hopes, since war is a process, and it cannot be resolved with one battle. The Western media has repeatedly stated that they see no signs of either arms trade, or embezzlement of funds that were aid. Read more russian "news" and you will definitely become even a greater war expert than you are now.

It is funny how only Russians keeps saying about 10/1 killing ratio where the reality is completely different.The Ukraine military just needs a bit more time until the long range weapons come and they will wipe out the Russian troops from Bahkmut first and then the second place in Kherson after the river to completely liberate it,next is Mariupol and Crimea and Russians got so far a punch of flies as they say.There are trains full of corpses of Russian soldiers and now even the reservists are being killed in a 20/1 ratio which is the truth and Russia is badly in need of man power able to fight against military men.

Russia is a powerful state. One of the sources of his power is Vladimir Putin. Because politics in Russia is autocratic, Putin has built up his army and weapons to become increasingly powerful. Russia has long done what it wants.  Russia turned Belarus into its puppet state, shot down a Malaysian passenger jet and pinned it on Ukrainian troops, forcing Poland to scrap an argument with the US. Due to the super power of its military power, Russia is strengthening its military forces day by day. And has been established as a powerful state on earth.

I am going to quote this post. I am sure that when the Ukrainian offensive that is not happening and will never happen because it was all scam results in the RF army "leaving non strategic positions, that were never wanted, as a gesture of goodwill and as a part of a wider plan that Putin has for the world" we will be able to re-discuss the concept of "victory" and "defeat".

On how this that will never happen will happen, it can take either shape: a grinding or a collapse in one or more of the attack directions. My guess is that there is a good chance of panic in some sections of the RF army, as they are forcibly recruited grunts with zero training and zero war experience.

The minimal territorial gains that I am observing correspond to relieving some pressure from Bakhmut and crossing bodies of water, including the Dnipro south of Mykolaiv and minor channels along the eastern front. If I were to make a push, that would be be step 2. Step 1 has partially happened: attack fuel depots and supply depots but there needs to be much more. I wonder if the recently sent missiles from UK are exactly for that.

Didn't you like Yars mobile strategic complexes at the parade? More serious than tanks.

Yars isn't something what they didn't showed in previous year. But I'm wondering where things like Iskander, Buratino, Buk, Pantsir, S-400 and all other stuff from previous parades? I don't even talk about that they had to cancel air part of parade. Year ago who could have thought that Russia will fear of drone attacks on Red Square.

Exactly. It already happened in past when they even tried to show retreats as their win. Goodwill gesture, strategical retreat and similar shit. But I noticed that trolls here tend to ignore such events or make conspiracy theories about it.

I only saw a little snippets of this year's Russian victory day parade (which is more than most years) mainly because you guys are calling attention to it.  I was impressed.  Seems staid and tasteful.

Russia seems to be letting their performance do the talking unlike most of the rest of the world who seem totally focused on 'selfie' style chestbeating past the level of absurdity.  Trying to puff yourself up in the eyes of others is a sure sign of fatal insecurity.  It's the world live in, I guess, and Ukraine is a poster-child for making their whole existence up out of ridiculous Hollywood-style fakery and fiction.

Judging for the level of the insults here, we must have touched a nerve. Fear and anger are strong on this one. And denial too.

Looks like the Ukraine commissars kidnapped the Tooth Fairy and sent him/her/it to the front lines:

Nasty people, and it kinda goes to show why when the populations in many areas of Ukraine get a chance to vote, they overwhelmingly prefer Putin's people to Nuland's Nazis.

Note:  I'm certainly not ruling out that this could be faked.  If so, they did a pretty decent job relative to the performance of most of the Ukrainian propagandists.

Analysis:

Maybe NATO stored that much ordnance on the surface, but it seems unlikely.  So, highly accurate targeting to target the tunneling itself (or 'new technology' in bunker-busting) results in a high percentage of success.  Good targeting implies good intel (and this part of Ukraine is basically Nazi-central where one would not expect as much spying on ideological reasons although money does talk.)

I'm not seeing evidence that all of the light-offs were even associated with air delivered weapons.  Could also be inside jobs with pre-planted charges (maybe within some of the weapons deliveries themselves.)

Either of the above (and others) indicate the possibility that Western and/or Ukrainian higher-ups understand that the only realistic end-game here is one where Russia gets what they want, and they would like to just get this thing over with before the 'greatest counteroffensive' which promises to be an embarrassing disaster at the very least.

Apparently, the RF psychos decided to celebrate Eurovision by sending a missile to the home town of the group representing Ukraine right before they started the performance. There is nothing anyone could say that speaks louder than this nor better describe what has the RF become under Putin and the court of Psychopaths that currently compete for being the Chief Psychopath.

If there was any doubt about Europe's stance, this only serves to make even more clear what needs to be done.

RE news on the front line, Ukraine is driving some localized advances, nothing ground-breaking but 3 RF choppers and 2 fighter jets lost... quite a day for that "air supremacy".

Something is happening in Bryansk oblast - Russian aircrafts started to fall there. 4 aircrafts just in one day had their last flight - Su-34, Su-35 and two Mi-8 helicopters. Seems that they were hit by Patriot system.

Meanwhile Ukraine continue their progress around Bahmut in North and South directions.

You're so delusional. In all years from Soviet times Russia needed to show their power with all these parades. And now on second year of war in Ukraine they decided not to make huge parade and let their performance to talk. Strange. BTW, what performance? What significant they have achieved so far. And for some reason rest of world don't need to held such parades to show their power.

Their actions already can't surprise me... Videos of very powerful explosions is spreading on Telegram, but from what I understood it's fake, but terrorist state really hit something in Ternopil.

It is not surprising, it is surprisingly stupid from them. If Ukrainians were not united enough, there is another reason to be and fight and Europe as well. Yes, I have seen that the jets that cannot operate at a long range just fall the moment they get too close to the frontline. There is certainly a new use of the capabilities provided by modern weaponry. I guess the trolls here are still thinking that all those modern tools of war were "destroyed by precision strikes" or "sold and smuggled by corrupts cheating on Europe" so these planes must be another case of people smoking in the cockpit or something like that.

EDIT: Correction, some sources point to infiltration. So, yes, RF smoking in their own territory where they should not.

[tvbcof]

Here's a suggestion/request/plea to Russia:

Please do not reply in-kind to the likes of Britain's desperate attempts to escalate right now.  Plus it won't accomplish much.  Just log down on a public ledger the various insults (DU weapons, long distance missiles, terrorist truck-bombings, etc) and make it clear that these insults will be responded to in-kind, but at a logical point in time when the donation will be likely to be most effective against the actual perps.

Obviously NATO needs a response and are increasingly desperate to get one.  The question is 'why?'.  I suggest that it has to do with the writing on the wall for the future of NATO and indeed, for the WEF(-like) and UN(-like) technocratic criminals who are currently running the show.  Every day it gets more obvious that they are bent on destruction of 'their own' societies.

It would be better for the current power structures in the West if their populations experienced 'death by Russian' as is happening in Ukraine, but they'll do it some other manner if necessary.  Probably through more gene-altering injections among other things.  The victims of these programs are not, generally, your enemies or the perps behind the weapons supplies.

I believe that there surely must be an increasing large group of people, both within the governments and without, who are catching on and see what the future inevitably holds for them should the current power structures achieve their 'order-out-of-chaos' fever dreams.  Someday this group will feel themselves acutely backed into a corner beyond the point of control.  Such a block could finally start to move, and at a more opportune time, if they felt they had some tools to work with.  If there were a bunch of weapons stockpiled and earmarked for them to use to get rid of the Globalist creeps who currently have the upper hand, and who were completely responsible for NATO weapons damaging Russians right now, it would certainly be better 'pay-back' than and instantaneous response, and less likely to trigger a nuclear conflagration.

Beyond that, the more the West 'fears their own people', the more resources they need to put into said threat, and the more they will alienate their populations with resource starvation and increasing totalitarianism.  Also, the covid bio-weapon is going to disproportionately maim and kill the technocrat's oblivious worker-bee hive (including most of Silicon Valley) and the class of citizenry who love big-brother making the stage even better set for the right kind of societies with citizens who are not so pliable in the hands of the kinds of degenerate leadership who dominate today.

I always say that information provided by the enemy tends to be dis-information. However, this is Prigozhin going public against the main Chief Psychos of the RF army and openly criticizing the tactics and pretty much everything else. For any ordinary citizen this would mean a long sentence, as this may equate to a critic to Putin's arrangements or pretty much conceding that he cannot take care of the army.

Anything about a retreat or ammunition etc... means little, but how he speak of the RF regulars... there is a lot in there.

A little follow-up on the big mushrooms which have been popping up in Zio-Nazi Central (aka, Galicia).

Some are saying it is (or was) this facility:  Looks like this one is (or was) pretty well guarded:

  https://goo.gl/maps/AghZHj2dkkHP6ZBP7

Some are saying that there may have been a radioactive component to some of the work going on at some of the facilities.  If so, I'm sure it was totally peaceful and just a tireless toil to safely decommission the arms which the Soviets left them with.  No covert nuclear material trading in ultra-non-corrupt Ukraine or anything like that.  Decommisioning ICBMs is a  long long process...which is handy for people who fancy making dirty bombs in their utter desperation.

Some say that it may have been a storage point the depleted uranium the Brits are sending them.  This would be interesting.  I would not really expect the kinds of aerosolization that the alloys would undergo in battlefield use, but possibly some degree of shattering.  Either one would probably not be a value-add to the food products coming off those fields in future years, but the fallout would tend to be more geographically limited with larger particle sizes.

Of course I checked the winds.  Looks like the fallout would head generally West at slow speed for a while, then accelerate (higher winds) and hook up to the North then back in a Easterly direction.  In short, right over Southern Poland.  Some chances of precipitation along the whole route which is hugely important when figuring out fallouts.  In short, if the Russians did pop this thing and it is (arguable) toxic and/or radioactive in some way, they could hardly have picked better weather.  Better if it fell back on Britain, but the Poles and Brits can work that one out.  There will hopefully be a point in the future when the Brits get what's coming to them for sending toxic munitions which the Russians themselves dis-continued decades ago out of contamination concerns.  We'll just have to see if the Brits keep a stiff upper lip if/when the chickens come home to roost.

Gamma radiation had a significant increase in Termopil after the RF attacks to "ammo depots" yesterday. The causes of this increase in radiation is yes to be determined, but it is not good news certainly.

Meanwhile the so "greatly well armed and structured" RF army is sustaining a number "glorious strategic withdrawal from non-strategic positions" along the front. Not all news are good for Ukraine, but there are certainly quite a few good news (in the military sense, killing people is not good news ever). Ukraine hit a military training facility as deep as Luhansk with what I am guessing is one of the newer Storm Shadow missiles recently sent by the UK.

Quite a beast of a weapon.

The missile weighs about 1,300 kilograms (2,900 lb), with a conventional warhead of 450 kilograms (990 lb). It has a maximum body diameter of 48 centimetres (19 in) and a wingspan of three metres (120 in). It is propelled at Mach 0.8 by a Microturbo TRI 60-30 turbojet engine and has range of approximately 560 km (300 nmi; 350 mi).[8]

The weapon can be launched from a number of different aircraft—the Saab Gripen, Dassault Mirage 2000, Dassault Rafale and the Panavia Tornado, both the Italian Tornado IDS and formerly the British Tornado GR4 (now retired).[14] Storm Shadow was integrated with the Eurofighter Typhoon as part of the Phase 2 Enhancement (P2E) in 2015,[15][16] but will not be fitted to the F-35 Lightning II.[17]

The Storm Shadow's BROACH warhead features an initial penetrating charge to clear soil or enter a bunker, then a variable delay fuze to control detonation of the main warhead. Intended targets are command, control and communications centres; airfields; ports and power stations; ammunition management and storage facilities; surface ships and submarines in port; bridges and other high value strategic targets.[14]

The missile is fire and forget, programmed before launch. Once launched, it cannot be controlled or commanded to self-destroy and its target information cannot be changed. Mission planners program the weapon with details of the target and its air-defences. The missile follows a path semi-autonomously, on a low flight path guided by GPS and terrain mapping to the target area.[18] Close to the target, the missile climbs and then dives into the target.[19]
