This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zo...se-system-appears-at-base-near-ukraine-borderFortunately it sounds like it didn't work

"Russia’s much-vaunted new S-350 Vityaz ground-based air defense system has made what seems to be its first appearance in the war in Ukraine, with evidence of deployment at an airbase less than 40 miles from the Ukrainian border. Introducing this medium-range surface-to-air missile (SAM) system to this particular facility is interesting, suggesting broader Russian concerns that Ukraine is increasingly in a position to attack bases beyond its borders. This would make some sense following the high-profile attack on Russia’s Saki Air Base in southern Crimea, as well as previous clandestine operations.
Elements of an S-350 system can be seen in a recently released official Russian Ministry of Defense video depicting operations by Su-25 Frogfoot close air support aircraft at an unnamed airbase involved in the Ukrainian war. The video was published to accompany reports that Russian Su-25s had “eliminated military facilities and equipment” belonging to Ukraine on August 12."

Lot of fat targets there!

Who would have thought that humans are more welcoming of their neighbors after they have been attacked unprovoked than they are of people from 1/4 of the way around the world? Insert shocked Pikachu face here.

True.

But you forgot some demographic factors.

I'm torn, between being "saddened" or "ecstatic" about the Ukranians putting up better offense than the Hawkeyes this past weekend...

Reminds me.....where's Putin's Western mistress & daughter?

Have we rounded them up and sent them back to Moscow, yet? Well past time here.

Better not mess with the Russians in Crimea.

Slice and dice the Russians again. And maybe take along some Harpoons and maybe control the Sea of Azov...

Yeah, that is an amazing write up. We saw it a day or so ago. It is really hard to keep up with this fast moving scenario.

I have no doubt that the people she surrounds herself with don’t want Ukraine to win.

As with Michael Flynn, the US military seems to have a crazy general problem.

MacGregor didn’t make flag for a reason. The idea that he was on Trump’s shortlist for Secretary of Defense should terrify everyone. He’s on Tucker straight up lying about what’s happening in Ukraine.

Ukraine has every right to shell Russian cities /infrastructure that provide logistics for occupying forces.

When every last Russo-Nazi soldier leaves Ukraine and the so called Russian backed governments in Luhansk/Donetsk/Crimea unconditionally surrender and disown any political authority in these occupied territories a cease fire should begin. Not until then.

I hate to say this, but the Ukrainians must be very selective. Strikes into Russia could be a tipping point for chemical weapons, or worse.

Meanwhile on the Black Sea a Romanian minesweeper was damaged while attempting to neutralize a floating mine. There is a pretty good chance that it was Ukrainian and broke free from its moorings near one of their ports.

Can someone explain to me how large these units are in terms of soldiers/manpower when we're comparing them to US brigades?

TIA

Ukraine's army is organized on the US model, so should have roughly the same number of troops per unit.

Russian war doctrine say nuclear weapons may be deployed if the Russian homeland is under attack by foreign forces.

**** yeah Aussies! 🤙🏻

That was 2008. Fast forward to 2017-2021. The Obama years saw NATO once again mostly in unison.

Putin had to be pissed. He gave Trump a job, one job, and Turd couldn't get it done.

Hopefully a year from now if Putin is still alive, both he and Turd are in exile in NK.

Way to fast forward over 2014 when the Obama/Biden administration let Russia grab large chunks of Ukraine in the first place. Obama was so flexible Putin bent him over and gave it to him good and hard.

Pussy ass Russians threaten everyone with nukes for any reason.

Shit they threatened to nuke various countries a half dozen different times for various reasons in the first 30 days of the invasion.

Something tells me they do not intend to see every major city in Russia turned to glass and their entire population annihilated. They are bluffing.

Newsflash dummy, Ukraine has already attacked cities in Russia with missiles. Try to keep up.

This is fantastic:

Lol, yeah, Im sure that’s the green light he needs to send the nukes. That fvcking psycho would send a nuke if he was having a bad day.

 

[Phenomenally Frantastic]

Ukraine attacks into Russia and a unstable Putin gets his green light to nuke Ukraine.

No he doesn’t have any green light. Only in your deluded mind. Nuke attack in Ukraine, the fallout blows into Russia and kills his own people. Here’s a dollar, go buy a clue.

 

[SA_Hawk]

Lol, this fvcking guy.

Sorry but Obama sucked.

 

[SA_Hawk]

Or given a reason. The motherland under attack could rally the Russian people to his side.

I don't think he cares where the fallout blows. He would get to level Ukraine and declare victory.
