The title may sound like clickbait, but read below and you’ll find that it’s frighteningly not so. But first, today’s video mashup includes Josep Borrell, once again intimating that the Ukraine war would end in mere days were the West to stop funding Zelensky’s regime. This very frank admission should give everyone an idea of how fragile Ukraine’s position is, and how desperately they hang on by a thread.
The Russians need to make more explosions of this magnitude happen all over Ukraine, ASAP. As I’ve commented previously, they should’ve been doing this since last year, as soon as it became clear that no negotiated settlement would be possible. That should’ve been their signal to initiate total destruction and unconditional surrender.
I am concerned the Western Lies Machine will accuse Russia of using a mini nuke, in the hope of going nuclear. Remember, the Bolshevick Neocons have no reverse gear and all the US Dollars they want to charge to the US Tax Payer. I hope the destruction of the depot will bring the slaughter to an end.
Great article, but from my point of view, missing the point on the origin of "gloom and doom" after yesterday’s unfortunate events, at least for some of us. Russia can destroy the whole of Ukraine, and that won’t make a difference. The Anglo oligarchs that are behind this new war, will just use another new puppet: Poland, the Baltics, etc. This has been going on for centuries and even Nazi Germany was induced to invade Russia as the main strategy from the Anglo oligarchs. So what is sad is seeing Russian soldiers dying trying to combat puppets, instead of going straight to the heads of the Anglo snake.
I do appreciate Putin trying minimize losses and bleeding the Ukrs, but at some point there has to be a new offensive so that Elensky's Western backers finally get the point that they are losing.
Setbacks like this will continue and each time they do the Ukrs/NATO will feel emboldened
Also, someone needs to put a gag order on Prigozhin
It takes a special kind of Uber monster to use teratogenic weapons. The US, UK and Israel have and continue to use them. Of course the military industrial complexes in the western world are and will continue raking in the mega loot replacing the old junk they foisted on poor Ukrainian people. Sanctions on poor countries aren't much better, modern day seige warfare. Millions dying of disease and hunger. Remember Clinton's SS Madalyn Albright saying that the lives of 500,000 Iraqi children was worth it. What kind of monster's do that? There have been a lot of evil empires through history and I believe that it's arguable the US is the world's worst and that's a high bar indeed.
polish mig's fitted for amraam is a strong possibility, however i supplying latest longer range amraam is evidence usa is "all in". normally, the latest models are 'dumbed down'.
link 16 is likely in most sam systems operational control, but it is line of sight which suggests the ambush was supported by comms relays, and also longer range search and fix sensors. it is possible the enroute amraams had "fix" updates.
raf should be considering sigint to see what s going on!
Hola, saludos a todos, quisiera encontrar más información sobre la 72 brigada ya que es foco de varias controversias, incluyendo una discusión en foros militares de los que participó y no encuentro fuentes verificables de que dicha unidad existe.
Lo más cercano que encontré es un ORBAT de un foro ruso que la encuadra como parte del 3 cuerpo de ejército del distrito militar oeste, junto a la 6 división a principios de 2023.
A mí entender es una unidad de reciente formación que no debería estar lista para el combate.

The depleted uranium fallout from the strike is really icing on the cake, and sweet irony with the winds pushing the cancer agents to the west and north. Couldn't happen to nicer people. Russia patiently waits and waits until these facilities are stocked full and then hits them good. Russia intercepted and struck further west this time because the targets were so rich. In this case, Russia caught Ukraine/NATO napping and spanked them very hard. These strikes will significantly hamper Ukraine supply chain logistics for the rest of the conflict. This strike also demonstrated that Russia can evade any ukraine AD when it wants to.
Have to come to the conclusion at this time that there will not be another Ukrainian offensive of any real size. Sure, they will attack here and there with some of their new toys, but it will be mostly terrorist type pinprick strikes. Ukraine supply chains have been severely degraded. A couple of more strikes like this past week and they will be put of out business for a long time. NATO can absolutely try to escalate further, but it will be their strategic demise.
This war is economic, political and military. Russia is effectively fighting 20-25 countries supplying Ukraine with military arms. And Russia is winning bigly, on its own, with just economic trade support from its partners. Stay calm and carry on. And keep a stiff upper lip. LOL.
As is more than obvious Ukraine has long lost any strategic capability. And let's be frank, they put up with a lot. Mainly due to the fortresses built by NATO engineers, where they spend most of their time, the billions in weapons dumped in Ukraine and the several generations of young people who have not managed to flee the country. Along with a very limited scope military operation from Russia. In a total war they didn't last 3 months! And a full-scale Spring counter-offensive has been pure fantasy since people started talking about it!
If not, let's look at Bakhmut, where even Prigozhin knew that as soon as the collapse was evident, Ukraine would do something?! And Prigozhin is not a magician but the ultimate troll! Definitely! Who realized a long time ago the pattern of the MO of the forces of Ukraine! Like me! Always PR to divert focus from Bakhmut's meltdown. Otherwise why didn't they prevent the taking of Bakhmut instead of these counterattacks on the flanks after losing the city? Where Russia is happy to retreat, if necessary, to better destroy men and equipment. In the north, it was an authentic suicide. And in the south, after losing hundreds of vehicles and men on the road of death, did they also remember to retake the hill? Please! All PR and propaganda! Just days ago Zelensky received the top executives from Balckrock and it must not have been to plan some military strategy but to sell what still hasn't been sold in Ukraine!
We should all stop thinking of modern wars as wars between nations. At least on the West side, where as Bernie Sanders liked to say during the election campaign, 3 Americans have more money than the entire lower class in the US. With more than 300 MM people! Bernie Sanders who knows as well as I do who the real US warlords are but also supports the war and Ukraine in the Senate. Remember the study by Credit Suisse - before it went bankrupt - with OXFAM, which said that 1% of the global population owned more wealth than the remaining 99%? And that the top 1% of the richest people held half of all the money in the world? It is the result of 30 years of neoliberalism! With some economic indicators in the world already in the 18th century, on the way to feudalism. Where the best job you could have was in the kitchen of some feudal lord to eat every day and live to be 30 years old. And it's not just about the distribution of wealth, where billionaires in the US pay less taxes than any merchant in Europe, but about the billions that every year withdraw from the real economy to tax havens!
What has always been at stake on the Russian border are two countries that are extremely rich in natural resources! It is estimated that Russia may have up to 2/3 of all the most valuable resources in the world! And the Arctic! Always the Arctic after the thaw! Which alone justifies all the wars in the world! And for Ukrainians like Zelensky a lot of money in their pockets. In Cyprus and in various tax havens. The big reason why Ukraine is still at war! And finally Borrell. An imbecile as corrupt as Ursula! So the EU legitimizes a coup d'état in Europe, where Olexandr Turtchynov emerged as the first Interim President, whom the European Parliament had already condemned for being openly neo-Nazi and now Borrell is concerned about freedom in Ukraine? Son of a bitch doesn't even deserve to live!
And now, finally, a question for the Thinker or anyone who wants to answer. Didn't Prigozhin insinuate today that it was the Russian AD that shot down the aircrafts? And it wasn't the first country to shoot down aircraft with friendly fire. Note that he mentions that they all fell within a diameter of 40 km, therefore within a radius of 20 km. And he says to search the net for the weapon...
P.S. I think the radiation levels at Khmelnitsky is a masterful Russian campaign. Ukraine will return the Challengers to the British. Which is a big problem for them because they don't have the money to keep them. They have to dismantle them for scrap like the Prince of Wales! 😂
I do approve of the Russian plan of wait until they have a nice pile and blow it up. I DOUBLE approve of blowing up the DU between Lemberg and kiev, in fact i suggested such a thing on this blog a while ago. Remember folks DU doesnt cause cancer according to the bbc.
You are correct 4 aircraft is essentially nothing, in the scheme of things, the personnel loss sucks royally.

WTH the West stuffed Ukraine with this time? When Ukrainians will get into their head that they are being cynically and brutally used by the West?

Wow, those are some big explosions!
Nice detective work! The missiles appear far to small to be s300/BUK but large enough to produce the damage those aircraft took.
Aim-120 from the NASAMs/SLAMRAAM with extended range seems very probable.
polish mig's fitted for amraam is a strong possibility, however i supplying latest longer range amraam is evidence usa is "all in". normally, the latest models are 'dumbed down'.
link 16 is likely in most sam systems operational control, but it is line of sight which suggests the ambush was supported by comms relays, and also longer range search and fix sensors. it is possible the enroute amraams had "fix" updates.

when discussing the presence or otherwise of dpr and lpr I think this should be taken into consideration.

the deleted WAPO interview with zel seems more nuclear. ohh the webs weaved
Rumors are 2 Russian commanders killed during strike at headquarters in bakhmut?
