Russia - threadbanned users in OP

We need from frontline good news soon. Situation in the Eastern sector and Southern front has been fairly horrific last 24hours. UAF loosing ground quite rapidly.

That's the thing about authoritarian regimes. They cannot tolerate any dissent because it could grow.

People need to know their place. And they need to know that if they step out of line, they will be punished.

Additionally, in any authoritarian regime, everything that is wrong is wrong because of someone else. There's the enemy outside and the enemy inside. And the place would be a perfect utopia if it wasn't for those guys. That's why authoritarians always point the finger. It doesn't matter what time they are in or what country, there's always an enemy inside. It could be capitalists, jews, liberals, lgbt+ people, etc…. There's always someone to blame.

Not stop. But depending on the armaments and reach of their radars, push the planes that are dropping them way back from the frontline.

Russian planes are dropping these things roughly 40 miles from the frontline. So if the F-16s can reach out beyond 40 miles and maybe a bit extra to avoid air defense in the occupied territories themselves then that should have a pretty immediate stabilising effect on the front line.

Equally i feel like these things in the first few months - 1 year of their deployment will be used as a mobile air defense. Shooting down cruise missiles and drones. But equally that would free up patriots and other systems to be used for setting ambushes for Russian aircraft like they did before.

Although just a word of warning. These things aren't super weapons. Just like the Leopards and the Bradleys. I'm fully expecting the first significant piece of news about the F-16s to surface will be about one being shot down or caught on an airstrip by a missile. Just be prepared.

Where's the harm in it?

And you will no doubt be the one to bear good news…

Doesn't need to be over the horizon…. glide bombs are being launched about 40 miles away from target…. that's easily in range of a number of A2A missiles.

Problem is:

-Russian air power

-Russian SAM's (MANPADS, and tactical)

-Russian radars

Ukraine is not risking high flying aircraft on the front line, especially long enough to spot, target, launch and illuminate to target any Russian aircraft… (i.e. beyond visual range weapons)…

IR weapons can be detected and manoeuvred from, at BVR distances…

they need aircraft with stronger radars, data link capability and BVR weapons (i.e. F-16)

Any reason why you've never addressed the issue of genocide by the Russians? Why should anyone answer your questions if you don't address questions asked of you?

As a frequent propagator of blatant kremlin sponsored propaganda and pro putin waffle I have zero intention of looking at a video you would post, so have no opinion on any remarks you might be promoting now. I guess putin would like to imply by killing thousands of Ukrainians and making millions of Ukrainians homeless he is challenging the "west" but I think that is just a figment of his mental illness that seems to be clear to everyone outside of the totalitarian state he has been allowed to control.

Boris supporting Ukraine may be the only positive thing he is remembered for in my opinion.

Probably quite well as he was instrumental in Kyiv resisting the opening days of a completely unprovoked full scale invasion by a brutal authoritarian, genocidal, disgusting and cowardly Kremlin regime. Whatever else can be said of his political life we can say that much about him.

Anyway not that you actually care. Do you really think people here are stupid enough not to see what you're doing? You're nothing more than a cliche that's been played out a thousand times on this thread before. You'll be removed soon and another will take your place. Because that's literally the only things Russia and their apologists are truly talented at. Spreading sh*te.

I guess that answers SV2 question " Will F16s be able to stop the glide bombs?"

What happens if an Irish citizen gets in trouble in Russia?

thats going to have to be one giant embassy.

what if you have children with a Russian national, or have court or business related issues situated in Russia. war or not there are people with daily issues related to Russia who need to deal with the Russian bureaucracy, willingly or not.

and the only embassy is a giant complex 4 countries away.

sounds just a bit impractical.
