Russia - threadbanned users in OP

I doubt that is the plan - it's to hit Putin in the pocket. The German army was far larger than the current Russian army and they were still able to supply their tanks/planes for much of the war with limited supplies. Hitting certain facilities closer to the front line might cause some short-term supply issues but I don't see it being strategically important.

The timing is curious - just as US aid dries up Ukraine starts hitting the Russian energy sector. I wonder if there was an agreement of aid that it wasn't to be targeted? Americans don't like rising energy prices - especially in an election year! Now they will need to do a lot more damage for it to become an issue but I think it is Ukraine's only hope at security a good peace agreement.

I don’t see how the size and population of Russia is an issue. In fact I don’t get your point. Russia is the largest country by size with a population of 140m…..and? Canada is the second largest country. A little over half the size of Russia yet with a population of about a quarter. Australia is a little under half the size of Russia but with a population of maybe a fifth or sixth.

again, what is your point?

Where is @greenpilot when you need them, great for info on tracking aviation.

No sure he can shed light on people squiggling on google maps showing this is where this aircraft was actually flying too when they had zero information on the actual flight plan

…..

Is that counting the T34s that they are likely to be relying on soon?

Not true at all and no I wasn't removed from the thread for that either,

But being your not a mod ,so you literally made it up ,

2 for 2

Thank God they’re so **** stupid.

Apparently.

I don't think so. Only the more modern combustibles.

And another oil facility up in smoke.... Russia being strangled slowly but surely.

Awesome! Shall we go through just the last little while? Since you seem so confident...

That Ukranian leadership simply "decided" or "chose" to to go against NATO plans for the counter offensive and not listen to the Americans(No evidence provided). Despite the fact that Zaluzhny himself said they tried it and switched style to attrition in the economist article. Never got a reply to that one either and you slunk away. I mean even by your own admission they hadn't been given the abrams at this point. So they either did or didn't have the equipment?

That Ukraine attacked the landing ship as a PR stunt because they lost Marinka..... Never saw much evidence put forward for that one.

I can't wait to see your military aircraft credentials on this one. Or a peek at the crystal ball that says F16's will have no impact on the ground.... I'll wait

That the situation on the front lines are somehow unstable and need stabilising? The lines in the past year have barely moved....... So where was this instability?

All these just in the last few days/ weeks, I could trawl further but why bother?

And here as a show of good faith: I've seen reported by some channels that actually I may have been mistaken and that Russia does sometimes use planes to transport POW's from eastern Russia. So that element of my post could be mistaken. It's easy to admit to being inaccurate sometimes see?

And yeah I'm not going to comment on mod decisions. I'm inferring what happened based on the time since you were removed last and how that part of your posting style changed since being reinstated. I don't have evidence that's 100% what happened. So I'm not going to make a definitive claim. But I'd bet good money.☺️

Any source for that?

If true, how easy are those systems to replace?
