Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments

[Meengla]

Realistically, the California national guard would defeat Russia in Ukraine with a bit of help form the airforce.

You were going fine in your post until this.
Ukraine is a formidable power in its own way and given real time intelligence and unlimited weapons, the bloody nose they have given to the Russians in a DEFENSIVE War is not a surprise. I have often said that Ukraine is no babe in the woods. It is a formidable military force!
Actually, after said some uncharitable things about the Russian military said by me above, I have to say that they are a focused force and keep pushing on and may well take the entire southeast and south of Ukraine. Yeah, the Russians may lick their wounds after that but they are capable of achieving more than consolation gains by doing so.

We will see. I just saw the town hall in Sydney the biggest city in Australia. It had a Ukranian flag on it. This is very unusual. The west or at least the Anglo powers will not let Ukraine lose.

So as formidable as Russia is, and we can see its not very formidable at all, the constant flow of money and weapons will ensure they do not succeed in this war.

They have to be stopped at some point, Ukraine is as good place as any. The west is determined that this ends in Russia's ruin. I dont see any other outcome. Anyone that thinks Russia will be allowed to expand its borders is totally deluded.

Again, that’s the beauty why the West is rich, prosperous, developed, mighty army, clean tap water, great foods, people having 2 or 3 holidays per year. Leaders as Merkel, Macron or Trump will go out office after a fixed periods. check and balance.

You can chose living in venezuela, cuba, russia as you like. Please don’t bother other people.

are you really vietnamese? I used to have trememdous respect for vietnamese people based on their anti-colonial struggle.
but The cringe of reading this supposed vietposts is painful...

all that napalm the americans threw on your parents/grandparents are really starting to show their effect. Literally 15-20% of Vietnams entire populations was slaughtered by the americans a couple decades ago, the entire female population became slaves of american troops voluntarility or involuntarily and this dudes more catholic then the pope.


on a sidenote: That sinking of the 40 year old rust bucket will turn out to be a blessing in disguise for Russia. That rustbucket had very little practical use, and was an outright liability. it wasnt even armed with the latest missiles like kalibres.

The crew is almost entirely safe to go work on a newer ship.

However the loss of prestige is enough that the entire Russian media and social media is in an absolute state of rage

This is exactly the mentality one needs to win wars. The soviet army that marched into Berlin absolutely despised everything German/Nazi. It was hate on an unimaginable level that allowed them to sustain 10s of millions of casualties and still win.

this "new phase" were hearing about is the gloves coming off.... Not even Putin can calm the rage down now, There has to be serious consequences to restore pride. Expect absolute hell to be unleashed on ukraine going forward. and the ukies are justafiably nervous

How will those bombs be guided ?



1. Well, I was talking about the 2003 invasion but you are saying that even in 1991 the Iraqi military was formidable despite just having been through eight years of war with Iran ( that war being unfortunate ) ?

2. How come Kiev's international airport is still operational and the Russians have not bombed it ? How are NATO leaders able to freely enter Kiev ? I have read in these pages that the Russians may now start to target administrative facilities in Kiev that may include the international airport too and the roads leading into Kiev.



I don't understand how @Deino gave you a negative rating for this. It is undeniable that Zelensky's military is full of Bandera and Azov Nazis who didn't hesitate to commit crimes against Ukranian citizens and against the now-independent two republics.

The US regularly trains in degraded GPS environments. Thats nothing new for the US military.

What is the extent of this "degraded environment" ? All gone offline ?

@Viet seems to be a leftover of the USA-supported South Vietnamese administration.

"Making weapons for Al Qaeda". Hmm, that needs to be told again and again in American high circles.

he SDB-II uses jam-resistant GPS/INS targeting like Boeing’s GBU-39 SDB-I, but its added seeker features 3 modes of operation: semi-active laser, millimeter-wave radar, and uncooled imaging infrared. By combining these 3 modes, the GBU-53 can have excellent performance against a variety of target types, under any weather conditions, while making it much more difficult to use countermeasures or decoys successfully

Moving Target: Raytheons GBU-53 Small Diameter Bomb II

The 250 pound GBU-39 Small Diameter Bomb gives American fighters the ability to carry more high-precision GPS-guided glide bombs, without sacrificing punching power against fortified targets. The initial award to Boeing was controversial, and

I dont know if they teach stuff like this in Iran, but North Vietnam, a regime no different to North Korea invaded South Vietnam. And US tried to save them. They did to succeed, obviously. I dont know if you think Communist regimes just had a right to invade whomever they wanted? But obviously US devastated them and as you say killed a tremendous number of people there. The same happened in Korea and the same would have happened in East Germany if they were stupid enough to invade their neighbour.

Thats what I think. Any Russian ship 40 years old should just be decommissioned. Save the Ukrainians the missiles. Those ships have no practical use. In fact, can you show me a Russian ship that has any practical use?

However the loss of prestige is enough that the entire Russian media and social media is in an absolute state of rage

Why? It was just an accident.
