Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments

[1ndy]

Confirmed reports of Indians, Moroccan, Algerian, African,... students being bullied and refused access to trains and forbidden to leave the frontiers, by Ukrainian civils and Ukrainians forces.

Ukraine is responsible of their safety as they are legally resident there.

Your words are more condemnable than the racist acts of Ukrainians.

You're forgetting Pakistani students...

Strike Corps of both countries have tanks as offensive weapons and depend on tanks to enter enemy territory, not ATGMs.

I'm looking from the defensive perspective. Drones and infantry with latest gen ATGM's are taking a nasty toll on upgraded T-72's/T-90's. Pakistan will face similar threats and should be taking notes.

The russian Air force is nearly unused and this is a huge mistake. They have something like ~500 x Su-25, Su-27, Su-30, Su-34 and Su-35 combined. All are capable of using PGMs, antiradiation missiles inluded. Then they have Tu-22M3 and Tu-160.

If only the half of them would fly 4 sorties a day, it would make >1000 Sorties per day with few tons per sortie. Instead they simply don't use almost all of these strike aircraft.

I guess the Russian Air Force will be used more extensively when they have suppressed Ukraine's air defense.
This is just the 4th day of the war. A lot can happen in the coming days.

Ukraine is almost 40% larger than Iraq and unlike Iraq, it is supported by all Western countries and their allies. It took the US coalition forces 3 weeks to conquer Baghdad. I can ensure you that if Ukraine does not negotiate with Russia and give in to most of Putin's demands, this war will be won by the Russians in less than a month. Heck, they are on the verge of invading Kiev as we speak and the city may fall in 48 hours or so.

Should be looked at closely for sure. I'm sure academics will be analysing everything.

If I were PA.. I would be taking notes.... Newer anti tank weapons seem pivotal in modern warfare .. considering lack if aps on Indian armored tanks ... Top attack missiles it is...
Imagine 1-2 launchers with 4 rounds at platoon level....
APS for current inventory of leading tanks including Al-Zarrars should be top priority.....
Instead of developing Al-Khalid 2 we should invest in anti tank missiles....
We can work on an urban up armor kit for Al-Khalids with Turkey in line with Altay... And purchase some Altays specifically with Urban warfare in mind....

PA should be taking notes for overall operation done by both sides, specially how Russia used Helicopters, MBRLs, SRBMs etc.

What nonsense , she is s

I don't think Turkey would stick it's neck out, doesn't make sense to declare war against Russia indirectly. A multipolar world is in Turkey's interest and undermining Russia will create a new chaos world order from which Turkey will not be immune. NATO has no affinity for present day Turkey and it is only a matter of time before they are kicked out of NATO and become a frontline enemy state.

France, Greece and USA have treated Turkey poorly over the last decade. Why should Turkey stick its neck out for them. Turkey should do what it must for NATO and reinforce ties with Germany but that's it.

Satellite images spotted a huge Russian convoy 5 km long heading towards the capital, Kiev..

When League of Nations failed in preventing WW2, then UN should be disbanded too, as it is unable to prevent wars from ‘45 till now.

I have long advocated US withdrawal from the UN. All the way back to 2009 when I was invited here.

So she is officially starting a British Jihad?.... It's all good and kosher (halal) now????

The resistance in Ukraine is going so well that the UK gov is asking for British mercenaries to fight in outright defiance of international law. I wonder if she has own kids she would like to volunteer to be maimed or killed in a war that is nothing to do with them.

The UK Minister is in breach of UK terrorism law and could well be arrested:-

Titled 'Encouragement of terrorism', section 1 criminalises the publication of statements that are likely to be understood by a reasonable person as encouraging some or all of the members of the public to whom the statement is published to commit, prepare or instigate acts of terrorism.Oct 3, 2020

Been observing this thread for days. Here's what I think.

1. Russia is a formidable player on world's stage. She has people who take pride in their history. She will not go down alone fighting.

2. Ukraine is trying to punch above her weight desperately and to an extent is being used by EU/US.

3. The net gains are going to US - She is only winner here in this conflict.

4. Europe is portraying strong character but I feel they are very nervous inside and seeing unpredictable future ahead. The Fire is straight on their near horizon.

4. Russians have enormous experience in war fighting and their grit/determination should not be underestimated. They will take losses but they may move ahead. Their sphere of influence is getting too contested and they are not liking it one bit.

5. The way US/Europe are cornering Putin/Russia in financial/military domains is extremely dangerous. As if they are trying/hoping to carve a villain out of Russia.


I am more on Russia's side here....Yes, loss of lives on both sides is condemn-able and peace should be on table asap but I can't blame Russians here.

They are fighting a defensive war.

Their invasion looks aggression on ground but in nature, it is actually a defensive move to preempt circle of NATO right on Russia's border. Add prior history/cultural links Russia has with Ukraine and picture may get complete for us to see.
