May as well have been a flat tire for the time to get it back up and running again :D
We'll probably never know what damage was done and by what.
Ukraine is just reversing these stupid suggestions every so called piece messaya suggests. They all suggest this and for some reason it is always Ukraine who needs to give up their land for the piece.
This really is straight out of the Stalingrad experience portrayed in Enemy at the Gates except that this time the Ruskies are the baddies. One would hope that right will win out in the end because, no more than the Nazi's and their allies in 1939-1945, the rest of Europe should be in no doubt whatsover of the consequences for the rest of us if this version of Russia is allowed to proceed unchecked.
Then again, a DMZ for 60 miles inside of Russia sounds like a deal
the question you asked could have some point or bearing a year ago.
Not having seen an obscure video posted by a russian language channel makes me a putinista? lol
Unlikely to work with the moskovytes record on breaknig treaties. If Ukraine's offensive is not effective at restoring the borders already recognsed in treaties between Ukraine and putin then allowing Ukraine longer range missiles to take out military targets in the nazzi motherland might be necessary to start to disarm the moskovyte terrorists.
A stupid nonsense offer. Somebody brakes into my house, takes my kitchen, I fight back, kick the sh1t out of them but can not kick out of door, and my kitchen becomes a DMZ? And words 'Russia' and 'agreement' in the same sentence with a notion that 'no sides can brake agreement' is just comical. But then again - 'NATO should be dissolved' also came from you .
"Conflict"? Equivocating much?
i suppose the 1968 invasion of Tzechoslovakia was another "conflict"
And given that so many Ukrainians speak fluent Russian (or already lived in Russia), not as difficult as say, the SIS would have had it operating in France or Germany in the 40's. That said, I believe most of the fires we're seeing are a result of insurance fraud or a simple lack of preventative maintenance than partisans or saboteurs.
why?
A DMZ might work but can probably can forget about pre 2014 Ukraine borders for a long time.
If this was end game, what a waste the whole conflict will have all been.
nobody said it is or should be easy, but it is not impossible either. Its a job for partisans (local or Ukrainian) and so far they have done a lot of good job.
It can't be easy to operate behind the lines. Hopefully a Russian uprising (or interfighting) might prepare the ground.
I thnk they might be demonstrating or trying to show off their capacity to strike targets at will for an indefinite period of time.
Patriots and the like are having an effect though as very few of these missiles are getting through. So its really a win for Ukraine as they can buffer what the Russians are sending them, and if they get more systems into their Air Shield, then it just makes it harder for Russian missiles to get through.
They dont! They just need a help from partisans either already in ruZZia or infiltrate their own to create just another 'accidental fire' in every missile factory same way as we see these fires popping up on various other infrastructure all around the country. There is apparently 40 factories scattered all around ruZZia manufacturing (supposedly) missiles. Navalniy's team released a great investigation on this matter only a week ago. But one being a Putinista of course would have missed this.
great !
They need much longer range missiles provided in order to strike that deep into russia
THe problem with countries not giving necessary weapons to Ukraine because they don't want them to strike at Russia - but new missiles are constantly being made in Russia and will keep being launched unless Ukraine are allowed/able to target them.
I see no shockwave from the explosion.
I'm sure Ukraine are looking closely at where the missile production facilities are and figuring out how to disable them. With the assistance of intelligence and advice from others..
Improvisation. AK-74 used as a splint.
I suspect a lot of this is down to Putin’s mood. The Russian bomber command are probably well aware of their own supply problems and are rationing weapons until they can get a confirmed useful target to hit.
But then they get an angry phone-call from one of the many 80’s era dialphones on the presidential desk. Putin is yet again pissed that Ukraine isn’t enough in flame this week, and they are ordered to make a new strike on Kyiv tonight! No Excuses!!
And so they lob a whole load of rockets at Ukraine, without any real plan. Most get shot down, some hit random civilian targets, and this bullsh*t theatre takes a reprieve for a couple of days until Putin gets pissed with his generals again.
There is no “strategy”. Their best shot at a strategy was a lightning strike into the heart of Kyiv last year. They nearly pulled it off too, but they failed, and now they are under continuous damage control, trying their damned best to gain something anything close to a gain or a win. All while having to deal with Putin’s increasing rage that his 3-day invasion is turning into the destruction of modern Russia. Now he must be aware that thanks to his own stupid belief that his army could do the job, that he is now facing the real possibility that he will be remembered as the man who built Russia up only to destroy it a couple of decades later. And it’s the Ukrainian civilians who pay the price for that self indulgent rage.
I hope he is caught alive and brought to trial in Kyiv some day in the future so that the humiliation of his hubris would be complete. To be judged by a country that has been finally united across languages by a desire to be free of him. At the frontier of a Europe that he tried to split with injections of ultranationalism and Brexits, but then united it in the fight against the Russian Federation, which then collapsed into a banana republic that would give DelMonte a run for their money. I would like him to live to see that until old age takes him. A bullet to the head would be far too kind an end for the likes of him.
Maybe if it was over Ukrainian territory?
Recently Ukraine seems to be concentrating on destroying Russian artillery. 32 + 1 mlrs. Similar numbers over the last two weeks or so.
The Patriot could have been damaged by falling debris from the incoming missile. Apparently damage was minimal.
At his age and condition it is dangerous to giggle. Leaves yellow stains in underpants.
Indeed. Time and time again they can't produce successes in the battlefield, so they resort to targeting the populace. They also struck the hometown of the Eurovision contestants just before their performance. There's little military or strategic value to it. Like the deliberate bombing of the theatre in Mariupol it's has all the hallmarks of appeasing an increasingly bitter leadership.
Politics. 10 rockets + 20 drones once a week would make no visible difference at the frontline. No one will even write about it in the news. But when these rockets fly towards Kyiv, its citizens have to hide in shelters, and this make Putin giggle in glee.
