Russian Invasion of Ukraine

[Kulindahr]

In case you forgot about this little problem...

I was wondering about that on Sunday.

 

[rareboy]

At a very high cost, but rrrzzzia is making incremental gains around adviivka. Also another SU34 downed today and a Himars strike ona gathering of rrrzzzn military personnel has resulted in many deaths and injuries.

Expect a bigg push by rrrzzznz to give some oomph to the second anniversary of their invasion of Ukraine.

 

[rareboy]

Medvedev has announced that any supporters of Ukraine in the occupied territories will be sent to 're-education' camps in rrrzzzia.

In other words, rrrZZia is doing what it always has.

Replacing the people of the country it invades with ethnic rrrZZnz and thereby brutally colonizing the area in order to seize all the property.

 

[rareboy]

Unhappy anniversary.

I was hoping that UA would take out the Kerch Bridge...but at least the Bundestag is now considering the provision of Long Range Missiles to Ukraine.

Time to air-drop arms for the people in the occupied areas!

 

[rareboy]

There is likely no lack of arms for the Ukrainians in the occupied areas.

But there are decades of living under a Soviet regime and then being occupied by the equivalent of the Gestapo for the last 2 years.

There are lots of examples of quiet insurrection and direct hits on the rrrzzznz. But much of the remaining population will likely be desperately trying to hang on until the rrZZnz are ousted.

Today, Denmark signed a security pact with Ukraine.

And UA claims to have taken out another AWEC-50 carrier a particulalry costly loss for rrxzzia because they have so few of them and Ukraine has already dispatched about 5 of them so far.

And they are not easily replaced.

 

[rareboy]

Confirmed. And a 350 million US loss.

I heard they only have one left that's in flight condition.

 

[TX-Beau]

Here's hoping someone "smokes" next to it.

I would also like to express my dismay and embarrassment that we, as a nation, have failed Ukraine in this ridiculous way. Mea Culpa Ukraine.

Reports are that there were 10 occupants in the downed A-50U plane with all of them killed, including five majors, three captains, an ensign and a lieutenant. Not surprising that so many officers were on board.

And yesterday, a massive fire at a metalurgical plant in rrrxxxzia.

It was good to see some leaders turn up in Kyiv today and sign bi-lateral security agreements.

Trudeau was there to confirm Canada's most recent 2.2 billion aid package for defense.

 

[rareboy]

2 more planes down yesterday. Israel is now talking about supplying early warning systems to Ukraine to improve the potential to take out missiles and drones.

 

[rareboy]

And apparently another two SU34's yesterday, which would make 13 planes in 11 days if true.

 

[Kulindahr]

Russia has issues with things that fly--

And apparently another two SU34's yesterday

IIRC they're capable of building eight a year -- or at least they were before sanctions.

It's an interesting aircraft, a two-seater with the seats side by side, and in between there's enough space to stand up and stretch or lie down and nap.

 

[rareboy]

rrrzzzia continues to take heavy losses, the Kremlin announces that there is allegedly recordings of German officers discussing attacks on the Kerch Bridge to Crimea and the US has suggested that if Ukraine falls, a state of war may exist between NATO and the USSR 2.0. Meanwhile, a Republican in Congress is looking to go around Mike Johnson and introduce an Act to free up aid to Ukraine.

 

[rareboy]

14 out of 17 Shahed drones and another SU 34.

And it seems like only a couple of weeks since the rrrzzzn casualties went over the 400 K mark.

 

[rareboy]

There you...apparently another SU 34. It is almost one per day now. I confess that I do not understand how rrrZZia is still able to replace any equipment it has lost...months ago we saw them hauling out tanks from WWII era and unable to arm their mobiks.

Today, according to partisan movement Atesh, UA destroyed a refinery in Feodosia, Crimea. Traffic to Feodosia was blocked until further notice.

The RF is already experiencing shortages of fuel.

This will hopefully put even greater pressure on their troops.
