"nuke territory" 🙄
Yes, there is a point where they would seriously consider that. We have already had a nuclear plant bombed this week. No one should be complacent of where this could be heading.
Be great if true. A sign things really are not going well for the Orc invader.
Something I wondered about some time back is alluded to @6.45
It actually makes sense. It would be pointless for them to listen to the tyrant in the Kremlin or state TV. They know full well that remaining in Kherson may be very dangerous and it's 'better safe than sorry'.
The Ukrainian wit is very dry in this report
"russian tourists flee crimean resort due to sudden climatic changes" . . .
Interesting and concerning. BBC describes it as a "major escalation". I just hope civilians don't bear the brunt of any retaliation though fear that, as usual, they will.
"Lack of protests in Moscow and Leningrad": what decade did the news anchor wake up in?!
There definitely is, but we're nowhere near that point. We've had shelling near a nuclear plant, and then the classic media blow up designed to do nothing more other than generate revenue. Quotes and reports of landmines on the site are being discredited, but Sky News still ride the coattails of the story today with a headline stating that shelling around the plant continues, even though they're referring to Nikopol over 60km away.
There's no nuclear threat, at the plant or by weapon. Any risk comes from meltdown from accidental power cut, but that will only happen unintentionally and there failsafes in place to allow time for prevention, which would be the ideal outcome for both parties.
Russia isn't going to radiate the place and their own country, it wouldn't make any sense.
Talking of "nuke territory" is beyond premature.
One person died as a result of explosions in Novofedorovka - the head of the Crimea Aksyonov. Earlier, the Crimean Ministry of Health reported five victims.
lol
This video clearly shows two major simultaneous explosions at the airbase, possibly a couple of hundred metres away from each other - strongly suggesting a missile attack.
Hmm. I don't know. I've seen something like this before, and it looks very, very like timed charges. Those explosions are milliseconds apart. It would be extremely coincidental if two missiles were launched and reached their targets at exactly the same time. Possible, though. They could also be AGM-88's. Fired as a salvo from a back-engineered Western missle rail on a Flanker. Even though these are anti-radiation missiles ( HARMS), co-ordinates can be preloaded into the software before flight. The targets do not have to be emitting radar waves. The Ukranian aviation industry can he very innovative! I'm guessing either SF-set timed charges, or a salvo of HARMS from either a fighter, or some other industrious means.
Could be totally wrong, of course!
Is anyone up on the overall situation. Is Russia making ground or Ukraine pushing them back? Is it essentially a stalemate?
Cannot really find an overall up to date view
Watching the video, it's clear there had already been several explosions on the airfield (which is why people like this one started filming from several kilometres away). Talk that there may have been as many as 8-10 explosions in total seems plausible.
yes, its a statemale
You would wonder why the families of Russian invaders are even their. Could be something to do with certain staged referendums being planned their?
Of course thats ok according to some people because the people will get to vote on it.
I have close relations of family who are there on "holidays", from Moscow. Relations who have/had certain positions in the Nazi army. Apparently they are not leaving. Do they have a choice is what I wonder
Hopefully we may see the Ukranian side make some progress in the Kherson region soon enough, seems that they are taking out several strategic bridges, and might be starting to spook the Russians their at the moment.
Here's an update from 30 mins ago..
large assault expected from Ukraine.
Can't be 100% sure of this source though.
Poster Jackboy has been talking up the 'nuke' threat previously.
Maybe a Ukraine Special Forces job? Could they have placed explosives at strategic spots?
Could be as simple as sappers deployed behind enemy lines to cause havoc on targets. Happed to find the base guarded by a load of drunks. I mean you would want a decent amount of time to set that up the way it goes up.
Massive amount of air power lost in a single day. The Russians we're not using them to the best of their abilities but to loose a massive amount in 1 day the ordinary Russian soldier will notice them gone from the Battlefield.
😂 Yes, we should ignore that on a week that a nuclear plant was bombed and warnings of nuclear war on the news.
Thats some amount of boom for a few lads with backpacks of explosives, you'd want to get very luck with your placements
This image is identical to the Google Earth image from mid-2021. I'd be sceptical.
You're an ad man's wet dream 🤤
Possibly. As a previous poster mentioned, there is limited security around perimeter.
Here's something interesting. I used Playback on FR24 to see what aircraft were operational at the time of the explosions in Crimea. So, yesterday Monday, at 12.20,
Both a Global Hawk....
....and a US Navy EP3 Orion were both monitoring Crimea. At the same time....
This is most unusual to have both looking at the same area. Then today around the time of the explosions, the EP-3 is back, together with a KC-135 on CAP near the Moldovan border. This is a clear indication that it was refueling other assets with their transponders off. May not be connected, bit some interesting activity in the lead-up to, and during, the attack. Today's snapshot...
KC-135 is the following...
