Kyiv:UAF begin offensive ops in specific areas.

I think so. Alas.
Would have been better to have just given Ukraine what they needed to win from the start.

Time Is Running Out in Ukraine: Kyiv Cannot Capitalize on Russian Military Weakness Without U.S. AidTwo years after Russia's invasion, Ukraine and its Western supporters are at a critical decision point and face a fundamental question: How...

If it transpires....it could mean increased supply lines of more hardware...from the EU.

That's another one of "Pootler red lines"?

Pootler would be apoplectic.

 

He can't now....Pandora's box is opened.

 

The Ukrainians are taking the war to Russia.

Ukrainian forces reportedly conducted drone strikes targeting Rostov Oblast overnight on March 8-9 and may have struck a Russian aircraft plant refurbishing and modernizing Russian A-50 long range radar detection aircraft. The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) claimed that Russian forces intercepted 41 Ukrainian drones overnight over Rostov Oblast, and eyewitnesses reportedly stated that the strike caused at least five explosions. Geolocated footage of a strike shows an explosion at the Beriev Aircraft Plant in Taganrog, Rostov Oblast.

 

Crimea is dangling on a thread.

“"This once again demonstrates the ineffectiveness of Russian air defenses in protecting key locations, despite their enhanced preparedness," UK intelligence said.
In response to the latest Ukrainian assault on the military airbase, Russia launched missile attacks across Ukraine, targeting several cities including Kryvyi Rih and Zaporizhzhia, the British intelligence noted.
"The scale of the Russian response is likely indicative of the level of success achieved by the Ukrainian armed forces' actions" during the strikes last week, the UK's Ministry of Defense said.”

the propaganda machine ISW Press certainly can make stuff up .. and this is often the case.... however, Iran training Russians on how to use the military equipment that Iran produces is certainly not made up .. and how would we expect that this would not be the case .. Do we not give the Ukrainians training on how to use the equipment we provide them .. Training on F-16s as we speak .

What has this to do with the near complete lack of offensive ops .. sans the occasional terrorist attack ?

 

Don't say "we."

 

No. Russians never worry. Russians win. We win during more than thousand years. Don't you know that? Of course, the USA we will win too, don't worry.

 

The Russian people always lose.
Russia actually has a long history of losing wars against the West.
But it is fair to say that Russian Tsars/tyrants always manage to beat the Russian people usually by finding ways to slaughter them.

"The Russian Empire fought a series of conflicts with the west, in what is now Ukraine and Belarus. Before the reign of Peter the Great, they fought quite unsuccessfully against the Lithuanian Commonwealth, the Poles, and the Swedes. According to statistics compiled by Vladimir Solovyov, a great Russian historian of the late nineteenth century, Russia lost more than 70% of the 50 wars in the north and west from the thirteenth to the fifteenth century."
EUROINTEGRATION, Russia used to lose wars, says history. Don't buy the opposite myth, and don't write off Ukraine!

RuZzians are paranoid...and worry, they rat out one another.

RuZzians win?.....how so?

USSR collapsed and destroyed.

Warsaw Pact destroyed

US/EU/NATO =2
RuZZfascists =0

Soon to be 3-0....Since "Raschka " will disappear.

 

Russia may disappear only in your wet dreams, zoom.

 

Oh look....triggered response, I knew I'd catch a live one.

Viskocheh!!...drahsidjyah, kak vas dzehlya?

RuZZfascista is disappearing steadily....lotsa drone attacks in Mafialand....another A50 possibly toasted....1300 more dead orcs today.

 

Really???

Because of it we have largest territory of the world... Hmmm...

Excuse me, who was the tyrant in Russia? When I look at Western kings I can't say that Russian kings were tyrants.

Hmmm once more... How did we get our territory?

Yes, yes... But our territory...

Could you find somebody not biased too much? His speechwriter is in Washington.

 

Nothing is offended here....

 

As I've mentioned the moderator will look at your post.

 

As I've mentioned....nothing offensive.

 

Oh my goodness that is complete nonsense Crimea is in no danger of being taken by Ukraine .. They are in danger of terrorist attacks while the war continues .. but the idea Ukraine is having some kind of effective offensive .. is completely un-true .. there is no offensive going on against Crimea of any significant .. terrorist attacks not included.

Do you not watch any of the daily battle summary channels from time to time .. they do daily 15-30 min updates of the various battles along the front line .. giving details released from both sides .. I am a bit of a hardcore so watch them almost daily .. no one said squat about any major offensive on Crimea friend ... and there are few secrets in the Clone wars .. not like you can hide something like this Major Offensive .. which supposedly has Crimea dangling on a thread. There is no major offensive going on against Crimea at the moment ..

 

Swedens in NATO gifter.....bad news on the Baltic front.....Konigsberg is in the middle of a wolf pack....not a great place to be. Kremlins cheeks are puckering from the pressure.

Not one ..but 2 more A50s are popped in Taganrog....gifty....this sounds bad....no recon ops over the Azov or anywhere East.

Not looking good gifty.....

 

Provide a link to these "summary channels" gifty?

 

Crimea will always be a especially vulnerable. Look at the map.

 

No air biscuit's today Zoomer ? not even an Orc Orc cheer? .. slowing down mate ... as have the Ukraine offensive ops. Right now is a whole lot of defensive ops.. if you could even call retreating as fast as one can .. leaving ammo and equipment behind "Defensive" .. seems they didn't do much in the way of defensive fortifications and so the Russian advance has been rapid .. taking large swaths of territory on a daily basis... and well .. the poor Ukrainians .. still not enough weapons or ammo to put up a proper fight. The casualties been way up since Ukraine has been in retreat mode ... the meat grinder production has increased.. Still .. Vlad has yet to make a move on Odesa .. If peace talks now .. perhaps that could be salvaged..

 

gave you numerous links in the past Zoomie ... but here you go again - just type "Military Summary Channel" into youtube



..

 

What part of .. "Crimea is not dangling by a thread" did you not understand ? the fact that there is not even an offensive going on .. never mind be under imminent capture friend. "Look at the Map" above in post 3549 .. in the military summary channel update for yesterday.

Of course any area within range of Azov Nazi Terror attacks is especially vulnerable .. but those kind of things don't take any ground nor establish a bridgehead. never mind take over Crimea.

 

You haven't given me anything in the past.

This is rather dubious...nothing official....just someone's opinion.
