International Russia/Ukraine Megathread V15

I always during 20+ years had to read " prophets " posting how USD and europe will collapse.
Especially funny are talks about " we will stop trade crude oil for USD and then USD will collapse. " or " U.S state treasury debt is too high ".
Also how rouble is cool.
Rouble under putin had dropped from approx 28 roubles for 1 USD till approx 90...
This exactly simply and clearly represents that Putin is printing money more than FRS.
Also main trend determining demand for USD is because . ...private debts....

Russia is touted about their low State Treasury debt and it is truth. While no one wants to talk about .....private debts denominated in roubles because private debts aren't state treasury debts. Banks are " happy " in Russia for sure.

Ukraine too is fun: they does report State Treasury debts in one position, municipalities debts in other report and companies debts in third report, private casuals debts in fourth position....
Also they afforded to post that banks mainly are working with... profit ...
Damn....
 
I'm a bit scared today and will gave some advises.
1. You should look at first on your own balance and financial situation like debts vs income and sawings and ....if this is better proportion than State Treasury does have, only then you have rights to judge them. Simple math.

2. I know that Ukraine like Russia are hiring former military lads from other countries.
Guys, if you are doing this, please don't wear your country flag peace on uniform.
It is painful to see and sorry, if you will post your pic ....A lot of ppl will know who you are....
 
In one case guy had denounced citizenship. Ofc he then wasn't active military person in this country. After this when he had other country citizenship ....he had used his former home country flag peace on his uniform.
Really not fun.
 
There is also thing that Ukr are using humanitarian aid and there....
I once had intent to donate a bit more however about one peace from this stuff ... opted not gave them this peace because this had company logo and they are our business partners...

No one cares comrade.. you are wasting your efforts and time to insist on this Kremlin's idea.

In order to launch SSh or Scalp one thing they needs is to change pylons on Su-24 ...the same for Taurus.
I hope you already had prepared nice flowers for russian tanks.
Especially if you think that in order to launch Cruise missile here super secret death specialists are needed.....
 
Both sides are using informants, spies and mercenaries from foreign countries. Looks that also saboteurs too.

Russia most likely had managed to recruit U.S citizen and I cos this don't insist that U.S does have war vs Ukraine ...
 
Prigi had hired foreigners, former and current prisoners and mental healthcare patients....so nothing new that both sides are hiring also foreigners...
 

Russia Grounds A-50s After Ukraine Attacks: U.K.​


BB1jdU3c.img

A Beriev A-50 early warning and control aircraft flies over the Kremlin and Red Square to mark the 75th anniversary of the victory over Nazi Germany in World War Two, May 9, 2020.The British Defense Ministry said on March 2, 2024 that Russia had grounded the plane after it lost two in the war in Ukraine within one month.



"Russia has grounded its A-50 early warning and control planes after losing two of the valuable aircraft within a few weeks, British defense officials have said.

Reports that Russian forces have the upper hand on the battlefield in Ukraine, following their capture of Avdiivka in Donetsk oblast, have not been matched by positive assessments of Moscow's air power following a string of reported losses.

Costing more than $300 million each, the plane with the NATO reporting name "Mainstay" was not just a financial setback for Moscow—losing the reconnaissance aircraft dealt Russia's war effort a blow, especially after Kyiv said it had taken out the same model plane on January 14 over the same body of water.

On February 27, Ukraine's Air Force spokesperson Yurii Ihnat said that Ukrainian forces had not detected an A-50 aircraft in the four days since the A-50 went down.

British defense officials gave an explanation on Saturday that Moscow has "likely grounded" the aircraft, pending an investigation into "the failure to protect another high value enabler." Russia was now looking at "how to mitigate the threat Ukrainian air defense continues to pose," the British officials said.

The U.K. Ministry of Defense said not having the A-50 "significantly degrades the situational awareness provided to air crews." It added that this was a capability gap "Russia can ill afford over the contested airspace of eastern and southern Ukraine."




 
I have lost a lot of respect for the GOP stalling the military aid bill because they wanted immigration reform. They stall it for months in negotiation and when they get what they want, they reject it. Because they want to use the immigration issue in the elections.

F-ing pathetic.

F-ing pathetic.
It is even worse
They might agreed to accept bill for border physical security financing as separate bill and later to press for laws changes...why not? Doesn't looks that they are really interested to enchance border PHYSICAL security cos financing bill for this Bidena had signed.....if they agreed. Nope.

They use immigration as PR tool for elections to get votes.
Also they again will promise a lot before elections and after elections will .....tell that big corps needs tax reduction....

Also reps are very pro MIC oriented and will want to increase military budget again and again....
Worse thing is that democrats wants to estabilish chips factories in U.S while Donald doesn't looks that is interested ...he then maybe will station tropps in Taiwan ....maybe a lot of troops.
 
Also rumours about super french and U.K perssonel serving missiles are russian psy op.
Why?
Because Cruise missile is attached to pylon, coordinates etc entered and airplane when reaching certain area, height and speed is ....simply pressing button.

No one is superprogramming them in airbase....firmware already is installed and nor france nor U.K does have Su-24 pilots...
To refubrish and prepare missiles is possible outside of Ukraine and then put in box and send them.
Fuel in tank ukr for sure are capable to fill ....in ukraine...
 
With Western SAM systems : they is easier to operate than soviet systems due to high automatization level....
If Ukr have fresh pupps then ofc training might take long time.

While if you have educated and experienced with S-200 and S-300 operators and sadly are experiencing lack of missiles....
Then you might sent them to learn how to use SAMP-T, Patriot, NASAMS, Iris -T ......then result will be surprisingly quickly.....

Unlike about pilots , about SAM operators threy didn't AFAIK claimed about shortage in supply.......they told that missiles stockpiles are drainig out....
 
Soo NYT ran satelllite images over ukr positions to help explain why russia has managed to gain rapid victories in last 2 weeks (ammo problem being the biggest reason) and apperantly defensive positions are badly build
