Russia Training Iranian Pilots for New Air Force to Crush Israel

(TheAltWorld)

Iran wants to acquire Russian fighter jets to protect it sky against any external attack and not to fly them all the way to Israel to bomb Israel.

Segun2222:
brahmos is a cruise missile? see this olodo all your insult and you still manged to show you're uneducated... weyrey say fastest cruise missile

Brahmos is a cruise missile (not ballistic missile). It is the fastest supersonic cruise missile in the world. Some countries now have hypersonic cruise missile. So it is not the fastest cruise missile. It was jointly built by India and Russia. It is based on the Russian P-800 Oniks supersonic anti-ship cruise missile.

Opolopoopolonio:
I am not aware o

Where did you get the info from?

Russia dare NOT use nukes in Ukraine!

If Russia uses nuclear weapon in Ukraine. What do you think will happen? Do you think the united state will use nuclear weapon on Russia, so that Russia can retaliate?

Opolopoopolonio:
@bolded They have started failing in Ukraine and they dare NOT use nukes.

Kherson and Zaporizhizhia will soon be retaken.

No part of Kharkiv is in Russia's hands.

Are you aware that Russia is now advancing in Mykolav? They have been able to seize some territories in Mykolav. You can google it to confirm.

Russia is in total control of Izyum in Kahrkiv. You can google it. Infact recently the Russia troops have started gaining some of the territory they lost during the Ukrainian counter offensive some weeks again.

The only place where the Ukrainian troops are making progress is Kherson. Even in Kherson, they are yet to launch the massive counter offensive, they have been talking about.

Who will stop Russia from using nuclear weapon in Ukraine?

Opolopoopolonio:
1. Russia doesn't completely control Kherson and can't hold a referendum there!

2. Mariupol may have fallen but it's just the first phase of the war. I expect guerrilla warfare to kick in in the coming days. As I type this, we still have some fighters albeit commanders in the Azovstal

I don't know about Kherson. But Mariupol is free from any Ukraine sabotage attack. It is far from Ukrainian secret service reach. In addition the city was badly destroyed. It is not densely populated like Kherson. The city is scanty. You can carry out a guerilla warfare in a scanty city.


Russia is not going to let go of Kherson, Zaprophizia & the part of Kharkiv that they control. Russia can not loss in Ukraine. If her military start to fail in Ukraine. She will use nuclear weapon.

I think to better protect Iranian air space. They need SU-35, MIG-35 & S-400 defense system. The pair of SU-35 & MIG-35 can effectively protect Iranian sky. The SU-35 is equipped with top notch avionics. Although it not equipped with AESA radar (it uses PESA radar-the special PESA radar can detect target up to 350km). MIG-35 on other hand is equipped with AESA radar which can track more targets than the SU-35. But it detection range is less than 350km

So imagine these two aircrafts in a mission to protect Iranian sky under the protection of the S-400 defense system.

RikudoSennin:
Me too. Maybe SU-25 but not 35. Russia gave some SU-25 and Helios to Mali today so who knows.

Iran don't need SU-25. The fighter can not protect it's sky against the US & Israel. It needs SU-35. Iran showed interest in the SU-35 before the Ukraine war.

I don't think Russia will swap it's SU-35 with Iranian drone. Presently Russia is still riding on it's pride. She is trying to show the world that the war in Ukraine can be fought successfully without any external military assistance. Let see how long they can do this. At a point in the war they stop using their Orlan 10 drone in mass. Probably due to the sanction which made it difficult to get spare parts for thier drones. Recently, it look like, they have found a way around it. Cos they have started using them again in mass.

Tommydare:
Says the Chief of army staff... Israel has advanced pass iran just that they kept it lowkey. And most times, it's not all about firearms, it's about intelligence. Israel never loose guard knowing fully well that they are surrounded by enemies.

Israel don't have the capacity to invade Iran. Likewise Iran. The two countries are far apart from each other. So a war between them is going to be a missile war.

Israel air force is far better than Iran air force. So Israel can carry out air strike on Iran. Iranian air force can not do the same. But they have enough sophisticated drones and advance missiles (not the rocket made from recycled materials the Palestine are firing into Israel) to respond to any Israelis aggression. The Iranian ability to respond is the reason why Israel has not carried out the threat of attacking Iranian nuclear sites.

The same reason the US & NATO don't want the war in Ukraine to go beyond Ukraine. If they hit Russia. Russia will strike back (conventional or not).

emmanuelbrown26:
Head slammers, na only noise. Una think say Israel na una mate. One thing I like Israel is that they don't talk nor make noise, they will just do their thing and go back home. Any country that shares border with all these headslammers tends to fight I don't know why.

Yea Israel does not talk. She only act. But the same Israel has been talking about attacking Iranian nuclear sites for years, but no action has been taken.

Israel don't talk when she is dealing with countries that don't have effective offensive capabilities like Palestine (she has no military), Lebanon, Syria e.t.c

Whobedatte:
Putin and his generals were led to believe the much-vaunted Russian S-400 air defense system would provide sufficient protection against HIMARS. It has proven ineffective, and heads will likely roll within the Russian defense industry.

The S-400 is not built to intercept missiles from HIMARS. It is designed to shoot down Fighter Jets, Ballistic and Cruise missile.

S-400 is presently stationed in Belarus & Crimea. The system is not in Ukraine (Donbass. kherson, Mariopul & Melitopol).

There are other systems (Pantsir, Tor e.t.c) that are designed to intercept missiles from the HIMARS.

Uprightness100:
US national security advisor, Jake Sullivan: We have intelligence that Iran plans to send hundreds of attacking drones to Russia for the war in Ukraine and to train Russian soldiers on how to use them.

There was a time, the US said Russia was running out of arms and was desperately in need of Chinese help. It turns out to be a big lie (intelligence failure). This could be another lie.

A new UN report has found that Ukraine’s armed forces bear a large, and perhaps equal, share of the blame for what happened in a nursing home near Stara Krasnyanka, which is about 580km southeast of Kyiv.

A few days before the attack, Ukrainian soldiers took up positions inside the nursing home, effectively making the building a target.

The UN’s Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights said: “A fire started and spread across the care house, while the fighting was ongoing”.
Dozens of elderly and disabled patients were trapped inside without water or electricity. At least 22 of the 71 patients survived, but the exact number killed remains unknown.

Report say Russia has withdrawn most of there troops home


Most of the fighters now are separatist/chechen only

Russia only supports now with air power

So technically, militias are the one keeping NATO billions At bay

Not entirely. About 70% of Russian troops have returned home. So like 30% still remain in Ukraine. The heavy weapon (artillery, rocket launchers, defense systems, drones e.t.c) are being operated by the Russians. Likewise air and naval support. Some Russian troops and FSB agents are in the newly occupied territories (Melitopol, Kherson and Mariupol).

goodheart02:
There's no need telling him to wake up, you should be the one to wake up. Does the fact Russia keeps showcasing weapons mean the US doesn't have anything lethal in its arsenal?? Have u ever asked yourself how the US was capable of making a vanishing war jet? That's pure alien technology stored up in Area 51 in the Nevada desert. Ever asked yourself why they went as far as creating a new military arm called the Space Force?? They're preparing for something bigger. US weapons are top classified, and anyone they show you, just know it's about going into the trash can. Only if u know what the 21st century US missile technology is capable of.

All super power showcase their cutting edge weapon. There are documentries on all the cutting edge weapon of the US.

Tomahawk cruise missile used to be one of the platforms the US used to demostrate its military power. The missile used to be the only long range cruise missile in the world not until Russia launch its Kalibr cruise from the caspian sea to hit target in Iraq and Syria.

The US remain the most powerful nation in the world. But that doesn't mean they don't showcase their weapon. The US is currently working on its own Hypersonic missile. It is not a secret.

The US wanted to test it's latest ICBM in February. But they had to postpone it due to the war in Ukraine. The ICBM is called the Minute Man II. It is not a secret.

Russian economy will experience a massive growth in the future. It is inevitable. The West will one day turn their attention to China. China is interested in displacing US as the most powerful country in the world.

The West will have no choice than to restore relationship with Russia to deal with the rise of China. They can not counter China alone. They need India and Russia to effectively counter China.

There is no permanent enemy in the international community.

It is clear now that Russia has huge stock pile of high precision missiles.

Hanibbal:
They will be stationed there but the launch codes will be in the hands of the Russians likewise the nuclear chain of command and control belongs to Russia. That was what happened when the USSR placed nukes in Cuba during the crisis in 60's. Castro was not allowed to have the launch codes.

The Iskander Missile System is a short range missile capable of launching ballistic or cruise missile which can be armed with conventional or nuclear warheads.

This is the missile system Russia is sending to Belarus. It is a tactical nuke platform not an ICBM. You don't need any launch code to use it.

gambojimeta:
Suprised they are just knowing. Since war did not end in two weeks

There has never being a time Putin said it's troop will crush Ukranian military in two weeks. You can check YouTube to confirm this. Stop spreading fake news.

Fake news has led to the death many. Safe lifes by stoping the spread of fake news. It will make you trend but at a great cost to others.

ezugegere:
Russian-speaking social media users have been left surprised at the damning critique of Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine offered by a military analyst on a Kremlin propaganda TV channel.

The candor of Mikhail Khodaryonok was a talking point for many on social media as he described a military situation on the ground faced by Russian troops far removed from the patriotic take usually given on the state-run channel Russia-1.

Khodaryonok, a former air defense commander turned military commentator, who in 2020 was awarded a "Merit to the Fatherland" medal, said that "virtually the entire world is against us" and that Russian troops would face a tough battle against highly motivated Ukrainian troops.

He said don't believe the "false" reports that Ukrainian forces were facing a morale crisis and that Kyiv would be able to mobilize one million people who will benefit from western arms, meaning the situation for Russian troops "will frankly get worse."

Military pundit Mikhail Kodaryonok told Russian television that Moscow's forces faced an uphill battle against Ukrainian troops in a rare moment of candor on Kremlin-backed TV. Above, Ukrainian soldiers ride in tanks near Bakhmut, Ukraine, on May 12, 2022, amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

He also batted aside interruptions from 60 Minutes host Olga Skabeyeva—dubbed the Kremlin's "propagandist-in-chief," for her suggestion that a non-professional army would pose less of a danger.

Khodaryonok said that it did not matter if Ukraine called upon conscripts, what mattered was their willingness to "fight to the last man" as he also took aim at Moscow's nuclear "saber-rattling" in response to Finland's NATO aspirations.

Russian scientist and political analyst, Andrey Piontkovsky, tweeted: "Khodaryonok has delivered the first capitulation from the Russian armed forces."


"In an extremely rare moment of candour on Russian state TV today, defence columnist Mikhail Khodaryonok gave a damning assessment of Russia's war in Ukraine and his country's international isolation. It's fairly long but worth your time so I've added subtitles."
— Francis Scarr (@francis_scarr) May 16, 2022

The video clip of the exchange between Kodaryonov and Skabeyeva was widely shared on the Russian social media website VKontakte, and as of Tuesday morning, had been viewed more than 3.8 million times.

"An extraordinary exchange of views in the next Russian state talk show about Ukraine," commented an anti-war user History of the War, who added, "the only threat to Russia is the paranoid ones like Olga Skabeeva."

"Colonel Mikhail Khodarenok is probably one of the most sane experts in all this zombie clique," Olga Lebedeva commented. "I'm afraid he won't be called again."

Natasha Timofeeva wrote that "a political force capable of changing the situation in Russia may develop around this manifesto." Another user wrote that "common sense" had been broadcast on state television.

"An objective view of what is happening has been shown on air on state television," wrote another user, which was "a rarity in modern times."

"That's Mikhail Khodaryonok. Out of all people in the room he is the most sober one. Why? Well, may be because he's the only one with the substantial military experience. He's a career officer of the air defence who turned to a pundit career only after retirement" (not a thread)
— Kamil Galeev (@kamilkazani) May 16, 2022

Meanwhile, many reacted on Twitter as to the significance of such a negative assessment of Russia's chances on a Kremlin-backed channel that has been trumpeting successes in Ukraine and making threats against the west.

Writer Noah Smith tweeted, "Well, that took guts. Good to see reality seeping in." His message was retweeted by Kamil Galeev, a fellow at the Wilson Center.

"Out of all (the) people in the room he is the most sober one. Why? Well, maybe because he's the only one with substantial military experience," Galeev wrote. "Most Russian pundits judged the military capacity of the Russian army based on official propaganda. Khodaryonok—on his lived experience. No wonder he is way more pessimistic about the war."

Russia Pundit Gives Rare Public Damning Assessment of Ukraine War

This is not the first time that Khodaryonok has been critical of the war. Three weeks before the invasion, he wrote an article in Nezavisimaya Gazeta dismissing Russia's chances of being able to defeat Ukrainian units quickly.

"An armed conflict with Ukraine is currently fundamentally not in Russia's national interests," he wrote.

Meanwhile, earlier this month, he told Russia-1 that general mobilization of the Russian population would not accomplish much because Russia had outdated weapons that could not compete with NATO-supplied arms.

Russia media watcher Julia Davis tweeted after his latest appearance: "Many are wondering: why is Khodaryonok allowed to keep talking on Russian TV where any dissent is discouraged? Because his words don't harm the regime. To the contrary, they help temper the expectations, while other pundits promise fast, easy victories."

This is a big lie. Russians are on social media. So they know what is going on. They are on Tiktok, Telegram e.t.c. So they interact with the outside world. The idea that Russians don't know what is going on is a myth.

Puskas:
Russia will soon jam wetin pass them

Russia is not interested in attacking any other country. The Ukrane war is keeping its military busy.

Russia has the longest underground rail network in whole of europe. Almost all the major cities in Russia has their own world class underground rail networks. From Moscow to St Petersburg to Kazan to Krasnodor (Sochi) to Yekaterinburg to Novosibirsk e.t.c all have their underground rail network. The facility is designed to shell Russians from nuclear attack. You can check youtube to see how beautiful they look.

Did Azov nazis surrender yes or no?


Do you know what this means 30k plus troops tired down can now move to other places


Oddessa next


It will be too late when you guys realise Ukraine lost

I don't think Russia will try to capture Odesa for now. Although there has been several missile attacks on Odesa. Which is intended to destroy arm's shipped to the city.

But i strongly believe that Russia is interested in capturing the whole of Donbas for now. If they succeeded. Putin may decide to stop the war. Kherson, Mariupol and Donbas are enough trophies for Putin. Except if the survical of one of those territories (Kherson) depend on Odesa.

Ukraine is fighting a war, that it can not win. The sea blockade will continue until Russia is satisfy.

Wannabenz:
They withdrew from there. Kharkiv is a northern city. Russia withdrew from the north then intensify attacks on the donbass and luthansk area. The east side.

Russia was attacking from the east (Donbas) up to the North in Kharkiv. The troops in Luhansk were advancing more than the troops in Donetsk. The Ukrainians were able detect the weakest frontline (Kharkiv), they went for it and they were able to push the Rissians.

Russia still control part of Kharkiv.

Elvictor:
Lol, no empirical footage

Only, US say, Zalensky don teach them something

Putin mentioned it before the war, that he knows the US is working day and night to build it's own hypersonic missile and sooner or later they will achieve it.

India air defense systems at work.

Opolopoopolonio:
Why are pro-Putin luuunatics fixated on Mariupol

We've gotten past that already at least for the mean time.

In due time, Russia will leave the whole of Ukraine one way or another. Not even Crimea will be left for them.

If Russia successful carry out referendum in Kherson & Mariupol and the result comes out positive, then they are gone forever. Ukraine will not dare invade Russian territory/territories.

Mind you, Russia may (or may not) be able to take the whole of Donbas. But they will certainly take part of it. Ukraine will loose it's territory not matter how hard it fights.

Alusiizizi:
Putin has shown that he has the resolve to do the necessary to counter NATO expansion in Ukraine. With this, my best guess is that if Sweden and Finland joins NATO, Russia WILL invade these countries. The question now is: What will be the NATO response to an invasion of a NATO member by a non-member? Remember that policies, initiatives and dictates are only as powerful as their enforcers.

I don't think Russia can invade any other country for now.

ozo13:
them dey give each wotowoto

Some part of Kharkiv has been liberated by the Ukrainian forces. But Sumy and other areas in Kharkiv are still under Russian control.

Ijoh:
This is nothing compared to Russian soldiers that are dying.


Yesterday alone a Batallion of Russian troops destroyed in the black sea area.
Ukraine shot down the bridges and they all fell and died in the sea.

Battalion is 300 to 1000 troops.

The West has succeeded in make the war very costly for Russia. They made the threat before the war and it is now a reality. Russia is losing a lots. But i believe Putin will not stop until he got something. He can not lose totally in Ukraine. Atleast he will likely get Donbas. It is going to be difficult. The West are not sending not only defensive weapons but also offensive weapon. But Putin will likely get something out of the war. Mariupol and Kherson are gone. Russia will defend those territories with her life. If Donbas is added to it, then Putin will be satisfied. Otherwise the war will continue until Ujraine got tired.
