    "According to a statement by the Russian Defense Ministry, one of the two Mi-8 helicopters that attacked a village in the Bryansk region yesterday was shot down by an S-400 system in the Chernihiv region."

    The point is, ship is not that important as more than 500 souls on it. Lives are always more important than some old ship.

    But, since it is a war raging on Russian borders, those 500 sailors can man up 2 Gorshkovs frigates and a corvette. Considering Gorshkov class frigate is more potent than old Slava class cruiser, the calculus is quite clear. What if all or the most of those sailors got killed? study

    Someone must take the resposibility for this enormous blunder.

    What do you guys think?  I would appreciate any feed back on this issue.

    Last time about "Moscow" on my part. Last greetings to "Moscow".
    This is a list of ships under construction. The USA is building 31 units with a total displacement of 389 thousand tons, China is building 34 units with about 338 thousand tons, while Russia is building 36 units with a total displacement of over 315 thousand tons ...
    So, the Russian Navy is not dead - on the contrary ..

    "Intelligence agency of Ukraine are planning a massive bloody terrorist attack in the center of Luhansk

    The Ministry of State Security of the LPR revealed the plans of the Ukrainian side, calling on the inhabitants of the Republic to go to a rally on Theater Square.

    Data have been obtained on the intention of foreign intelligence services to carry out a terrorist act at the time of the alleged mass gathering of people in the center of the capital of the Luhansk People's Republic.

    "Officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in skirts and berets flee from Ukraine

    In Odessa, another officer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was detained, who tried to enter Moldova in a woman's dress. The 26-year-old Ukrainian had a certificate of a military officer with him.

    In the event that a young man declares his non-traditional orientation, he will be assigned to the Unicorn LGBT company of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, armed with rubber weapons and grease."

    So the trials are coming!
    Donetsk trials.
    Maybe international jury will be formed with representatives from Byelorus, China, Kazakhstan, Syria, Iran etc. investigating the crimes against humanity of butchers from Nazi Associates Treaty Organization (N.A.T.O.) countries.

    They don't want to let nazis know who has been captured alive and who is dead. This way nazis are worse positioned to prepare counter information warfare operations for when the trials begin.

    It was not an invasion, it was a special military operation

    So draw your own conclusions why this looks like a cluster ****

    A firefighter designed the operation so there you go

    Ropuchas, Moskvas, Helicopters , airfields all burning, of course the firefighter prepares to put out fire not to start them

    A general needed to lead this INVASION, not a firefighting operation

    Let's call it what it is, and not make clever people out of the clowns running this show

    It's a WAR , everyone knows it except Putin and Shoigu

    In war, you hit the enemy and you hit to kill

    This is unbearable to watch

    Shoigu belongs at EMERCOM , not MOD

    Unfortunately I get the feeling there were more atrocities committed by the Nazis (NATO and Banderite) than the Ru govt originally thought.

    Sure you can execute the Banderastani war criminals. But the ringleaders were also in NATO govts.
    The question then becomes.. how do you apply justice to those vermin?

    The plant which makes Neptun missiles in Kiev was taken out last night. So I think it's pretty clear that the Ukrainian version of events is accurate.

    As for why it was done - I think it's more related to the wider Donbass operation than to Mariupol. NATO and the Ukraine is attempting to throw off the Donbass encirclement at all costs. This is what's behind the increased activity near Kherson too. Trying to get Russia to divert more troops.

    And Russia doesn't have 2 spare Gorshkovs and a corvette to assign those sailors to and won't for a while. The smartest thing to do would be to reform those sailors into a naval infantry or coastal defense battalion, offer all the conscripts contracts and fill in any unfilled positions with contract servicemen - and then send them to a less active area of the front around the Kherson region.

    The Russians are following their plans, they went soft into Ukraine. The original plan was to go in soft and see the how the Ukrainian people and the Ukrainian military would respond.

    After seeing the response, Russia may go onto to the plan they had in case that plan did not work(Russia probably has back up plans for every plan) and go harder and with the bombing of these plants and videos of dead Ukrainian/Nazis/western mercenaries, it looks like Russia is going harder.

    Another thing that is happening is that the Ukrainian military or what is left of it, is running out of soldiers and western mercenaries might now want to come and die for nothing. This is why the Ukrainians are sending kids aged 14- 17 into war.
     
    There so many arm chair generals on here(this is not directed at you Hole) and on the internet in general, thinking they have know the Russian plans. The funny thing about these internet arm chair generals is that they most likely have never fired an assaults rifle in their life, let alone be involved in a actual conflict.

    The Ukrainians, even with all reinforcements from Odessa, who have been largely untouched by the conflict and still have their tanks, armored vehicles and professional soldiers - would not have the fire superiority to achieve a successful advance. Russia has air superiority in the area, albeit conditional. It also has plenty of artillery.

    They can contest villages, do local counter-attacks, and conduct some partisan actions

    It was very stupid to send it that far from Crimea in the first place.

    They had no need for it to secure space around Odessa.

    It would be nice for them if they capture Nikolaiev and take that 4th Slava and modernize it. Super Gorshkov won't come anytime soon and they need such ship in the north to face NATO.

    Rumours are that they will declare full war after this and the strike on russian territory very soon. They may mobilize more troops and resercivist which would help for holding the terrain in defensi e positions while regular army jeep pushing.

    I do agree many thigs you are saying. I have shot assault rifle RK-62 (copy of kalashnikov) and I know how to shoot small caliber or high caliber mortar (81 mm & 120mm rexpectively) eventhough I'm civilian (reservist as a matter of fact). I haven't been in any sort of crisis. Still I'm standing behind Clausewitzh words which implies that war cannot fight to be nice. At the end of the day, the enemy WILL FORCE YOU to be as cruel and unforgiven as it is.
