Brazil is voting against Russia at the UNSC. India is a completely corrupt, dirt poor state that pimps its service to the highest bidder (mostly the West & China). Latin American countries are U.S allies where the U.S is steadily converting these Catholic countries into Protestant.
So the hope is only Russia and China.
They are not going to just change sides straight away... they will likely cover their own asses and watch and listen... and pretty soon they will start to realise the west does what they are doing to Russia and China because they don't share power and wont tolerate any client state getting too big for their britches.
That means if you want to grow your country and aim for standards of living comparable to the west then you can't do it with the west because they wont let you.
Most already know this, but they want to see if Russia and China can make this work first before committing to burning bridges with the west... certainly the new group of independent countries need to show they can protect their client countries from the wrath of the west... for instance can they help Venezuela and Cuba and Nicaragua etc etc.
Probably the ballistic Iskander.
Looking at the image (still) that Lsos posted I would say too long and slim to be Iskander... I would say Kalibre cruise missile... but without the wings??
edit: Iskander would've leveled the whole building and left a smoldering crater so I highly doubt it
Iskander comes in faster but Kalibre has a 400kg HE warhead and Iskander has a 480kg-580kg warhead AFAIK.
Outdated.. yes.. but not evil , at least not intentionally targeting civilians.
i say that because civilian casualties unfortunately will happen , and in the hundreds at least,
because the ukro orks are using civilians zones as a shield to fight the Russian military.
The fact that they are sitting in their offices in the west pouring over old photos from previous conflicts for content to use for this conflict then of course all their photos and images will be fake...
Modern western journalism at its worst.
Yes. Because Ukronazi garrisons in cities use them to create provocations, by shelling their own buildings. This has already been uncovered. And Russian forces preempted this propaganda farce by forbidding mortar use for their own forces in this operation
They are there to help the people against the nazis... killing the people would make this a stupid operation... not killing the people and killing the nazis was what WWII was all about on the European front I thought... now it seems it was a war against Stalin.
This was happening inside the building in Kharkov. Some sources say it was a guided Smerch round.
That would explain its lack of wings we would have seen if it was kalibr.
If it is Smerch then the payload would be less than 200kgs of HE which is probably about right for that explosion...
Ukrainian propaganda shows what's going on in the cities but not outside. Ukrainian military vehicles are totally unsafe outside cities.
The video shown of Russian attack helicopters destroying individual Orc artillery vehicles likely trying to sneak around and shell from unexpected directions and then run away...
Next to the shipyard. Hope it can be taken under control without any damage or destruction, considering that neo nazi's will try to destroy it before falling into Russian hands.
Might not be a whole huge amount left to destroy...
Their economy will be fine. They produce all the necessary things and can buy everything they need to non-westerners.
And in turn when the west tries to retaliate against those they buy from, Russia can sell to them what they buy from the west so any western embargo will have no sting.
Much of the consumer goods stuff they can probably just continue to buy from China anyway, but Russian Ipads and iphones and Facebooks and Cokecolas etc etc can grow and be developed.
Mcdonalds and KFC can be replaced with Russian franchises so local food growers that supplied food can continue to work together... develop better food that is healthier but still quick and affordable.
Russia's defense ministry, seemingly abandoning the pretense it's not targeting civilian areas, says it's going to strike "psyops" and communications targets in Kyiv and warns people living near them to leave their homes
If you tell civilians to leave before you bomb something then you are not abandoning not targeting civilians... pretense does not come in to it.
I suspect it will destroy equipment and facilities but the psyops people will also leave and survive... so they are sacrificing killing some American advisors for the sake of protecting the local civilians... that is a call the Americans would never make.
Ukraine wants its foreign debt written off
Hahahaha... how can the west possibly object to this... I am sure they will find a way... the whole point of forcing a Russian invasion was to make them pay for the reconstruction... they will probably demand all money owed by Ukraine be paid by Russia... can't see them taking that bait.
Fck... I live all the way down in Australia, bottom of the fricking planet ('cept for New Zealand Twisted Evil )
We deem it an honour to be further down the S bend from the arseholes brother...
Why drive in PanzirM and TorM2 inactive through the area? Why are these units not active in driving even? Can this please tell me?
What makes you think they are not being fed coverage of the airspace situation in their area?
Or do you think they create their own little bubble of reality around themselves with their radar and know nothing else?
French Finance minister says they will bring about a "collapse of the Russian economy".
https://www.thelocal.fr/20220301/french-finance-minister-we-will-bring-about-collapse-of-the-russian-economy/
I had said earlier today, the real object of hatred of the West is the regular Russian. Putin serves as a useful alibi. Why else would the West try to collapse the Russian economy thereby affecting the livelihood of millions of Russians.
Will just make things sweeter when they try and Russia cuts off all gas supply to their enemies.
The fat pig can hold a gun. Why doesn't he go?
He could lead by example... his mere presence would save a whole Ukrainian family... they could stand behind him.
In all actuality - Zelensky will sacrifice his own country and people for the sake of bogging Russia down into a war of occupation, in accordance with the wishes of his Western curators. So that Russia will find itself in revolution sooner or later. And this was always obvious.
He was already making his own citizens bleed for the last 8 years... on both sides of that little conflict... people in the Donbass and Lugansk died, but so did the Orcs he sent too.
Already in some villages, Russian forces; Rosgvardia it seems, have resorted to less 'polite' methods. Tear gas. While Russian infantry units advancing have fired into the air to disperse crowds of protestors. Only going to get worse I'm afraid.
Not everyone is going to be friendly... I would expect quite a few like the setup they had going and don't like law and order...
What's the Grand Chessmaster got planned next? And how the hell do you liberate a country of anything by invading? Are you going to rid Afghanistan of Islamic extremism by invading?
If you want to use Afghanistan as an example then it would have to be that a weak force of British soldiers have invaded and occupied Afghanistan.... AGAIN... and are forcing the Afghans to learn to speak English and no other language and become good roman catholic christians... and they control most of the cities... this invasion of the Ukraine is not to go in and take over and to replace the British ruling that country... this invasion is to destroy the UK troops militarily so the afghans themselves can take over and let them make their own rules and have their own culture and language without imposting western ideas and culture... and obviously stop them stealing their resources too.
But will something formed by Russian force of arms have the support of the people?
Why wouldn't it? They will be creating it themselves and they will be running it themselves... they will likely trade with Russia but they wont be controlled from Moscow and will likely to be free to trade with anyone, on the proviso that they remain neutral in terms of membership of military organisations and in return they will get security guarantees from Moscow.
can russia stop treating them like they are reasonable people?
Their leadership are idiots, but after they have their referendums regarding the future of the regions, then they will likely have elections where neutral parties and pro Russian parties will be allowed to run and not be put under house arrest.
They are europeans, not Scythians , nor taliban
Educated and elite people
Hahahaha
Poisoned and damaged and fiercely ideologically challenged...
In retaliation Russia should start hosting the pirated contents openly on their servers. Hollywood will collapse in a single day.
Streaming services make so much money they make their own content... Hollyweirds days are already numbered anyway...
Toshka is an impressive missile. They should have kept it in service.
It is a shorter range slower Iskander.
It was replaced in service by Iskander.
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?
Those rear grid fins on the Tochka are not for decoration... it manouvers hard during the terminal phase to make it hard to intercept... much shorter range and rather slower than Iskander, but still a good missile... the west has no equal... of either...
The important thing is I hope they hunted down and destroyed that Tochka unit and its support vehicles.
Thanks Vaan. However here in India RT and other Russian channels have not been blocked. I'm watching RT daily.
Must be nice living in a democracy...
I believe it has a branch going there already. But the terminus should be moved there as well.
I don't think so... they developed some ships that connect to the Russian gas network in St Petersberg and take on gas and liquefy it to store it on board in decent volumes and then it sails to Kaliningrad and pumps it straight into their gas pipe network with the gasification happening as the gas is offloaded... they had two or three ships for Kaliningrad in case it was ever cut off from Russian gas going through Belarus that also has to go through a baltic state or Poland to get to Kaliningrad... the ships are backup in case the west closes them off and cuts them out of the gas distribution system.
So what will the economic cleanup of Ukraine be like?
Get rid of their nazi overlords is unlikely... I doubt the US military would keep standing by if the Russians attacked Washington, though some of the people might rejoice if they took out congress and the senate... the Ukraine largely owes money to the west and the people in power stole that money so they wont be getting that back... open trade with Russia should create income but a lot of money needs to be spent and I doubt Russia will be feeling generous considering what the west did to them for which they seem to be thankful.
Btw we have seen 0 UGVs on the Russian side. Why is that?
Of course, they will want the whole world to know exactly what their tactics and capabilities are so that the opposing forces can work out ways to counter them.
The west uses attack drones because it is cheaper and easier to hire students to fly remote control plane and murder innocent civilians than it is to get professional pilots to do the same... much cheaper.
Unfortunately it’s being hampered by logistic problems and that’s why it’s moving so slow. They are lacking fuel/food according to western intelligence sources.
It is probably moving slow because it is being careful...
I would listen to western intelligence when I found some... still looking after all these years...
Poorly planned op by Russia.
Says anti Russian Russian western troll. ARRWT is now your nickname perhaps?
in order to support #Russians which are facing big resistance due to the intensity of combats with #UkrainianArmy & paramilitary groups loyal to them, like #AzovBattalion.
#RussiaUkraineWar
The point of a cauldron is not to waste troops crushing the contents... you stir the contents regularly with Grad and Smerch of the correct specific flavours on a regular basis and apply heat till boiling...
Move that system to the airfield !!
It's protecting a forest there !!
It is likely protecting everything within 100km of its position and providing information about flying objects within 400km radius...
Probably won’t cut Russia off from swift completely. Price of energy is too much.
Some libtard Congressmen here in the states are trying to push a bill banning crude oil imports from Russia.
That is OK... Putin is trying to sever Russia from the west, so he might respond with sanctions of his own like withdrawing from SWIFT themselves and stopping oil and gas sales to countries that have Russia under any sort of sanction at all... sanctions are actually illegal under international law except those approved at the UNSC. It is in effect an illegal practise used to unfairly influence other countries in terms of trade.
It’s 2022 not 1945 have you watched the news or telegram? First few days have been terribly underwhelming. They haven’t managed to take any big cities.
Why would they storm cities?
They want to minimise civilian casualties, so of course they will surround cities and then negotiate with the political leadership of the city and agreement on allowing Russian troops to occupy the city, who will then likely hand the city back to said leadership when they leave... saves the city and the people and the leadership... except for any nazis they are after.
Their decapitation attempt on Kiev failed.
Stop being a dunce.
We have no idea what their plans are... going by the results of other conflicts capturing their capital city this quickly would be absurd if the population was as hostile as the western media pretends.
What hurts me here is so much abandoned equipment dozens of tanks in last 48h and even TOS today... I am Serbian, I am frustrated, we look at Russia as our last real ally, our shield ..
Likely to be collected and recovered by follow up forces... hope those taking photos don't have rifles over the shoulders or they might get killed when they do.
Russis is fighting an army that is relatively well armed and has been trained by NATO since 2014.
It is unlike Iraq in 2003
It is very unlike Iraq in 2003... the Orcs have much much better AD systems... better than US systems... but the Russians are attacking with a small fraction of the force the Americans had and are doing things in a fraction of the time without the heavy bombing and artillery to save American lives and **** the Iraqi civilians or soldiers. The difference is that the Russians hate the nazis but not the general civilians... they are like the Canadians are to the Americans.
The abandoned equipment doesn't much matter. The advance continues, anything that breaks down or can't be refueled, will have to get left behind and later salvaged.
Stopping the advance because a TOR is out of missiles or has a fault would be stupid... follow up units can salvage and repair the vehicle.
BTW if it was running out of fuel then there would be more than one vehicle left behind or do some of you think in a whole formation of heavy armoured vehicles one vehicle will have an empty tank and the rest will continue on...
Maybe humanity does have a future ?
Hard work ahead to create a viable full alternative to the west for the rest of the world.
Of course there will be room for the west in the multipole world of the future but not as one block subservient to the US the way the west is... I suspect the EU might even split into factions because the countries are simply too diverse and really don't value the same values it seems. Perhaps an old EU and the new EU could be two parts and the production and science EU countries and the party and holiday EU countries could split into separate groups...
Something they would need to sort out.
The critical thing is that the people of those regions should be telling their leaders what they want rather than listening only to Washington.
What would happen if US embassy would be accidentaly kalibrAted? They did hit chinese embasy in 99 belgrade bombings
The old maps excuse... the Chinese embassy was attacked because they thought it was helping them track their stealth aircraft or just learning too much about dealing with stealth aircraft... they would have to define what the US embassy was doing that would justify eliminating it like that.
I would think kicking them out after the conflict is over would be more entertaining.
Our goal is to be with all Europeans and, most importantly, to be equal," he said. "I am confident that it is fair. I am confident we have deserved it. I am confident that all this is possible."
Your country has spent the last 8 years baiting, annoying and teasing the bear and now it has finally reacted you complain that your allies are not helping you...
Sounds like an excellent addition to the EU... EU money can fix that place... the EU is not a military organisation so Russia wont care.
