Truth is Russia can never win nato in a conventional war. Russia has openly admitted that.
On the other hand, why do you think nato will avoid entering direct war with Russia? Even the missile that landed in Poland of which Ukraine insisted was Russian, Poland and the US came out to deny it was Russian. They de escalated. Why? You think they are stupid?
Russia has only one thing, it's trump card. No other is greater. That is it's nukes. At the stage of war with nato, nukes will fly.
You flatten Russia, well, your country will be turned to a tarmac.


The missile was from Ukraine and the Ukrainians admitted it

How can you surround Russia thru the instrumentality of NATO and expect Putin to go to sleep? Sometimes I wonder how some people call Putin the aggressor and Ukraine the victim.

The single defense system is not adequate for the barrages of attack from left, right center and also from Land,sea and air,it was obviously overwhelmed and overworked.....4 to 5 of the particular Patriot defense systems would have been enough to fortify kiev

Hello! Russia is just another Nigeria that happens to be in Europe, and lucky to have snow. Nothing happens there outside vodka and nuclear bombs.

You still have told me why Russia was able to parade only one Soviet Union tank 🤣🤣🤣. Anyways, it’s no news that Kinzhal missile was shot down and it’s all over reputable news media channels, not Telegram.

Russia trying to cover-up the interceptions the patriot system did to them. 48 hours ago.


Propaganda news! They attempted but the Patriot system intercepted it. Same Patriot shut down the overhyped Kinzhal missile, but they will never announce that.

Putin should explain to the world why Russia was ONLY able to displayed ONE tank in its last military parade 🤣🤣🤣. I guess the rest has been fried up in 🇺🇦 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Lier read this.

It is impossible to shoot down a Russian hypersonic missile "Kinzhal" using the American Patriot system, military expert Alexei Leonkov told RIA Novosti.

Earlier, the Pentagon said that the "Kinzhal" was shot down by Patriot in Ukraine. According to Leonkov, such statements appear due to a lack of results, including against the background of the declining effectiveness of HIMARS, which the Russian military has learned to counter.

Leonkov noted that the Patriot radar cannot track the "Kinzhal", there is a limit on the speed of the intercepted target to Mach 3 numbers.

"Anything that flies faster, they cannot give target designation - this is if shooting down on an oncoming course. If you shoot down oncoming course, the anti-missile must fly 1.5 times faster than the "Kinzhal," the expert said.

The Feds acknowledge a Patriot battery was damaged. According to them it was not destroyed. I don't expect them to admit it was destroyed, but they're likely correct in their assessment.

Patriot is not the most advanced AD in US inventory. It performed woefully in the past although they've had ample time to correct its deficiencies and upgrade its capabilities. More AD systems will be destroyed by Russia because effective AD cover require multiple systems working in sync.

Ukraine does not have that. It's AD coverage is a cacophony of disparate ADs designed and calibrated for wildly different operational conditions. Lots of gaps and vulnerabilities.

As for your quip about taking out every AD system. This takedown demonstrates the capability. And the focus is on destroying most of the materiel stored for the upcoming offensive. The MoD will decide how and when it is necessary to take out AD systems. No point taking out an AD battery protecting the UKR General Staff whom are untouchable at the moment when there are depots with tons of ammo situated elsewhere. However, when Patriot or any other similar system is used to safeguard sites of interest, it'll be taken out as demonstrated yesterday.

Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for Ukraine and the Pentagon to provide proof that they brought down a hypersonic missile with an SAM that it is not rated to intercept. Saying the Patriot took down a Kinzhal is like saying a Howitzer took down an F-35. The physics does not compute.

You cannot say that a Patriot Battalion that failed to protect Saudi oil facilities from low-tech Iranian drones operated by Houthi rebels in 2019 somehow shot down a next-gen missile you haven't been able to replicate. Like, push your propaganda with sense.

-Lord

Ukrainian air defences have stiched together a formidable array of anti missile and anti aircraft capabilities resulting in the debacle of last night's Russian effort. The US Patriot system in the hands of the Saudi's was ineffective because the Saudi armed forces is little more than a police force on viagra. Put the patriot system in the hands of Israelis as see if low tech kit csm take it out.

And this leads me to the point I alluded to earlier. The Ukrainians have bloody good technical skills; battle ops, improvisation and flat heirachy response times. They are a far more superior army to the Russians. All they have lacked is fire power. They have operated counter battery artillery better than any other army in recent times.

So I find the emphasis on the patriot quite funny. They have only two of those pieces. But they have large numbers of German and UK made air defence equipment that is far more potent than the one or two patriots that they have. If the Russian missile attack had been a success I would have expected that number of missiles including the so called hypersonic missile to have seriously dented Ukraine air defence allowing Russia to attack at will.

The offensive is still on. The Russianscross the donbas and crimea front has stretched Russian resources and punching through in places will not be too difficult.
Once the logistic chains are cut and impaired over the next few days, I expect the Russian front to fold relatively easily in sections of that ridiculously extended front line.

This is UNTRUE!
The war was caused by Putin's greed first for Cremia then for the land corridor.

Ukraine is not the West and neither is it NATO! Russia should have played a smarter game of foreign relations.

When Putin annexed Cremia, what was he expecting? That Ukraine would submit to him!?



Why is it difficult separating Ukraine a small helpless Sovereign state from USA?

If Russia had played big brother to Ukraine, would they have run to USA/NATO seeking protection?

We all seem to believe that Putin is the good guy while other countries are the bad!

Tell me why most Russia's neighbors are afraid of them?
Russia was just minding her own business until Ukraine killed some people in Moscow!
Is this the narrative?
first tell USA to play big brother to Cuba and Venezuela.

And come to think of it, why are all the territorial Neighbor’s of Russia aligning with NATO?

US is a democratic nation and not authoritarian. Informations are accessible to the general public and you cannot secretly draft people into wars, it’s will trigger massive lawsuits and compensation.

Only in dictatorship you can hide such figures.


Unlike Russia that already started drafting prisoners, criminals, civilians, cats and dogs.

The irony of you making this silly post when you’re hilariously wrong.

The US, Germany and Netherlands have donated Patriot missile systems to Ukraine. Ukrainians operate it themselves and have proven capable of operating it themselves.

How is that a US base ? are you OK?

A whole long thread based on fake news and misinformation. Kai

Even in a case of a direct hit, a Patriot battery is fully distributed, and can occupy an area spanning multiple kilometers.


The Russians just don’t want to admit they had another virtually fruitless night. The US is reporting damage to one component that is repairable , either on ground in Ukraine or offsite.
