Russian special military operation in Ukraine #3

Oh well.

Russia didn't learn first time, maybe they will second time.  So they lose an Il76 so that means they will have to build a new one.  Same base right?  Where are the fucking AD?

Russia shall demand war reparations from Kiev after this is over.
If Kiev damaged Russian Il-76 then Russia takes the Kievan Il-76.

Well, I don't know what equipment Kiev has left but anyway. They won't need military.

Reports I read said possibly. S400 less then 50 kms away so questions if correct.

Where 50km away ? You protect air bases when the enemy has ymballistic missiles. You don't park your S-400 in the middle of nowhere.

They aren't facing NATO...

And the tor/pantsir need to protect those supply lines that were attacked by TB2, not send to far and given to the enemy. Now they could end up in USA.

They will take all the remaining stuff. They said demilitarizaion of ukraine. Il-76, t-80, AD systems will all be going to Russia. For the rest I doubt they have anytjing valuable.

It’s you now. I fixed mine go back that post and remove the quote. That should fix it.

All things considered, Putin looks very relaxed. That must be because CNN and Ukraine twitter are right about everything

I agree.

The base should still be protected by AD systems. Pantsirs and Tor. S-400 should be at the base as well. Why park em away? Unless they are just letting them strike the base and leave a non functioning il76 as a cheap target.

I doubt the russias will let that TOR fall into our hands of course it is silly that somehow, it was close enough to the enemy to be ditched lol, unless the driver literally just left it there

Now that also the prime minister of Russia now froze their assets in Russia. They can't take it out of Russia.

BTW, the French Finance minister, in his retarded spiel, mentioned russias reserves are melting like snow in the sun.

Exactly how much has Russia spent on their reserves?

Next to nothing.  Nabiullina apparently used some to intervene on the forex markets.   But this was a temporary action since
the CBR no longer does this after 2014.   The Russian government has spent precisely zero of the CBR reserves.

That's what I thought, I didn't see a single mention of sale off of reserves.

Toshka is an impressive missile. They should have kept it in service.

I beg to differ

you have to stop believing that equipment and soldiers are infallible, sometimes shit get thru that is just a fact of war.

With the large scale proliferation of ATGMs and MANPADs, Russia needs to press into service Orion and Okhotnik to identify and strike these ATGM and MANPAD units.

This is Bagration 2 , well really Operation Uranus 2

Army group South finds itself surrounded in Donetsk

Friedrich Paulus (Zelensky) is trapped

Bagration 2 will commence soon

Paulus (zelensky) must sign the surrender of his forces

Anyway Red Army will bypass trapped nazi pockets and continue the offensive

You are being waaaaay too generous with the ukies

Russia is fighting with two fingers of one hand against that nazi fringe and the poor people they are forcing to pretend they care until they get their chance to defect. Russia would never fight that way against a peer enemy, they would just throw their weight with full force and crush them with artillery and air raids instead of accepting casualties and slow progress to spare the country, its population and even its military.

I am starting to think that all these years of inaction by Russia were just them taking their time to prepare for the clean-up of Ukraine, both military and economically. In particular, the experience gained in Syria and their new operational concepts, equipment and tactics will be invaluable to deal with the militants that certainly will be supported by the West in the future.

So what will the economic cleanup of Ukraine be like?

It is in between the Rostov and Taganrog Airbases with an intercept range of 250 kms.

Edit: I got an answer from a video.

Thanks mate. I guess multiple were shot and some intercepted. Or fallen missiles may have caused some damage regardless.

He may be referring to the IMF credits or assets that are blocked.

Maybe, but what is blocked, they cant take apparently as per Borell.  So yeah.

But once again, it doesn't make sense since Russias reserves are still at $640B.

I meant that Russia was preparing their economy for the backlash resulting from starting such an operation in Ukraine by diverting their exports to the East, saving massively, creating alternative payment methods and substituting imports, among many others.

Can anyone explain why we have pictures of abandoned Tors? Are they just thrown away in enemy territory? I thought Russian troops aren't Syrian.

Also how's the pincer operation going? Will troops in the south be able to link up with the ones in Kiev by tonight?

Is it true that Russian soldiers don't have encrypted radios?

Poor logistics. They don’t have enough fuel. They prepared for a quick war. Just as US intelligence has been saying and suggested.

I’m sure things will turn around as they are making adjustments but that’s the facts.

Members on this forum will deny it but it’s quite obvious at this point to anyone who has telegram and a small bit of common sense.


Hope Russia bought some Bitcoin during the Covid crash.

Probably not to Russia but to the Donbass troops.
