I believe Russia is crushing Ukraine, and no amount of propaganda will convince me otherwise.
Ukraine was crushed within the first 24 hours.
The shit storm you are seeing is just the Ukro-nazi version of Al Nusra propaganda.
Ukraine is shooting cluster munitions with the Tuchka rockets into civilian areas. These rockets get shot down by air defense. Today, due to shrapnel, two Russian supply ships caught fire.
When it comes to sparing life and infrastructure, the Russians are doing a very damn good job.
The Russians know what they are doing.
They used 50 or so aircraft on continual rolling sorties with very little downtime in Syria and absolutely hammered ISIS. They killed thousands of them.
I guess this incursion does not require aircraft. They can use stand-off missiles to destroy targets. Aircraft are more vulnerable I suppose. The difference is that Ukraine is right next to Russia so the Russians have control over the territory via missiles and have surveillance via satellite ( I suppose ) so no need for air.
The Russians are trying to avoid killing people and unfortunatlely, Russian forces need to do street battle with the nazis who are using civilians as human shields. I guess aircraft would not help. It's messy an personal soldier on nazi battles.
They can use air power but wouldn't even need to fly into Ukraine air space.
Yes, they have their Kaliber and Kinzhal (dagger) supersonic guided missiles. They are really good and nothing can stop them. The Russians took out a CIA headquarters in Syria which was hidden in difficult territory with one of these missiles. I think is was fired from a boat in the black sea. The CIA never saw it coming. it was revenge for the 100 Russians killed by the US in Deir ez zour.
Your posts have cheered me up - winning! Go Vlad!
That's really great!
I watched Syria closely as well as Ukraine. Now that's paying off.
Two words: civilian casualties
All these armchair analysts over-rate themselves, they admit Russia views things differently yet they still wanna impose 'their' ideas of who is doing what to whom.
In their own words they admit Russia 'could' use their power differently and 'prolly' killkillkill the Ukrainians, but they choose not to do so.
Hmmm, almost as if Russia has limited goals and is working on those...as they said when they began this.
Exactly. You'd be a fool to think that Russia hadn't been planning this for years, to the greatest detail. It's right on their doorstep. They don't need the air force. They already have air superiority via missiles, they already destroyed the Ukraine air force with missiles when it was on the ground.
Their analysis may be be based on fake news. Don't trust anything. it's a good read nonetheless.
The propaganda is incredible.
The entire article is based on the false premise that Russia's air forces is failing. Drinking too much MSM ?
I would love to see NATO impose a "no fly zone" over major Ukraine city's and watch Russia sit back with S-400's and knock everything out of the sky that NATO fly's in. I would have never thought I would say that but that's the world we're in.
Everything is fucking backwards. At least that's how it seems after being asleep most of my life. Ugh.
