(via @michaelbirnbaum)
If true a complete disaster. But not unexpected. Russia has never fought a country with potent fighters and air defense systems before. Old buk and s300 are good systems.
Russia can establish airspace superiority momentarily and hit all those fighters on the ground.
It just hasn't. What the cunning plan is, I don't know. Maybe they hoped to turn Ukrainian forces to their side. But anyone on this forum could have told them it won't happen.

You see, they don't have pilots. And nowhere to really launch from. Enough time, they will attempt to fly some of these, russias will get the idea where they fly from, and bomb the base.
I haven't looked at french news since the start. Today I turned it on and our politics are already hesitating about the sanctions and trying to find a way to normalize the situation.
When asked about the membership of Ukraine in EU some officials in Bruxelles didn't even said it was a possibility when asked. They didn't answer the question.
Germany will face the gas crisis.
A part of MSM in west no one cares about ukrainians.
3 rd world like they call it, have seen how racist ukrimainians are and don't give a shit about them and even support their killing.
UAE and the rest of oil arab states didn't even condemn russian invasion.
US officials aren't even talking about it directly.
In 1 week no one will care about and they will settle it with a peace agreement and no nato membership and zelensky will end up like Sakaschvili and that dickhead in Armenia.
France and Germany will be pissed off. Germany because of gas and France because it has 500 companies operating in Russia that will be sanctionned (Renault sell as much in Russia as in France around 500k cars, now it will be 0) and they will quickly remove those US pawbs in Bruxelles.
So get realistic a little.

Maybe Nato was gambling that in such an event Russia would not dare to strike back at Nato, but if Russia would suffer such a radioactive strike, I think Putin would not hesitate to retaliate with his nuclear arsenal against the Western bloc (maybe including Israel). The Chinese government was strongly opposing Russia's spec op at first, but then they seemed to be convinced by Russia why they were forced to attack Ukraine. Again, I am just speculating here, but I think China knows about the huge risk caused by the reckless influence of Nato in Ukraine.
China cannot afford a weak Russia, that is fundamental in its vision of the world. A weak Russia complicates its claim to hegemony in the 21st century.

Can we stop talking about this already? China isn't doing anything. Neither for Russia or against it and in this conflict.
So let's move on and stick to the fucking topic already
Phil Stewart @phildstewart · 2h (Reuters) - Germany's Enercon on Monday said a "massive disruption" of satellite connections in Europe was affecting the operations of 5,800 wind turbines in central Europe.
It said the satellite connections stopped working on Thursday, knocking out remote monitoring and control

Can anyone here explain this? Why didn't the Russian IADS pick the TB2 from hundreds of km away. How will the IADs be able to destroy NATO missile salvos if it can't detect a drone until it reaches a shorad?
TB2 drones fly relatively deep. Below a possible S300 / 400 capture. These systems are still standing on Russian / Belarus ground.
This means, without A50 support, such drone is difficult to find. You may be able to see them but do not fire directly. The enemy also likes to destroy BUKM2 systems to prevent an AD defense.
TorM2 has worked here. It will other work very well somewhere else. As long as an active TorM2 is there, the troupe SAVE is.
We have to take into account that Russia probably does not bring everything back to make the NATO open the door.

You are in Russia. Let me ask you a question. The Western media here speak of mass mobilizations against Putin. I think they are exaggerating. How is everything there?

That's a nonsensical excuse.
Where are the A-50s then. Why aren't Russian fighters with irbis-E radars detecting the drones? Why aren'tt the OTH radars effective at detecting them?

For Ukraine’s Refugees, Europe Opens Doors That Were Shut to Others https://www.nytimes.com/2022/02/26/us/politics/ukraine-europe-refugees.html
Tried to explain this before, but depopulating EU governments love the idea of white European migrants. They would happily taken in 5 million, maybe even more.

I don't think the idea sits well with progressive LGBT elites. It was out of the plans. However, think that Ukraine is the show of the moment. When these refugees occupy hospitals, spaces, social security, jobs, they will show their hypocrisy. Now the Poles want to show off. We will see in time.

Acting dumb when there is no other choice than to accept the truth hitting you straight in the face. Neo-nazism is alive and well in Europe. Not to mention that not all states in the EU subscribe to the open-door policy, and prefer while-only emigration or no emigration at all (a more debatable, complex topic). In this case, it's a mix of the two, heavily on the former... knowing what we know.

I’m starting to give up arguing with them. It’s a lost cause. They are about as brainwashed about Russian military power as some Ukrainian nationalist believes in the ghost of Kiev.
Clear evidence of Russian incompetence hitting them right in the face and they can’t admit it.
Ukraine has had great success on the tactical level and that’s why Russia hasn’t taken Kharkov or Mariupol yet. And are struggling to get to Kiev.
Their conveys getting hit by artillery and ambushed is incompetence from not having proper recon with drones and Air Force.
Even Southfront which is super pro-Russian has called Russians brass decisions to handcuffs their own troops incomprehensible and they are right, Putin actions are absolutely moronic. The Russian soldiers are good troops its their leaders that are failing them right now.
The Ukrainians are thankful for this, its letting constantly punch the russians in the face.

The ghost of Kiev is propaganda. Now, what is the Russian military disaster in 5 days of war and in the 2 largest country in Europe? What I see is an occupation without violence of many strategic zones. It is not a scorched earth war. It is something new on a grand scale. You are in a hurry. Russian boys have fallen but not to the level that the Nazis in Kiev say. In a month or more they can do other analyses.

Lets be real the russians are what at most 70k? that's not all infantry etc.
They cannot take Kharov at this rate with these limited troops who do not have the support they need, Ukraine is dug in and will smash any advance now on the city. Because the russians have to literally drive against their fortified positions while being massively out numbered
