Hello!

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.

They think it’s Russia that Ukraine sank their Black Sea Flagship and the country was denying at first, before claiming it caught fire and everyone was rescued. Until the extent of the catastrophe couldnt be hidden from
The populace.

Russians are sheep’s in the country. The country feeds them with wrong information!

Majority still don’t know the truth about the war in Ukraine.

Even families of dead soldiers that were not retrieved from combat are in disarray. They keep giving them false hopes knowing they already dead.

Oh! That’s the new excuse?

It’s not a threat despite having land boarders with Russia?

So what threat is Ukraine to Russia, that Finland happens not to be part of?

Hello! It’s a baseless war! Sweden will join soon and Russia will be encapsulated with Nuclear warheads stationed around them.

What geography is required to know Finland also shares land boarders with Russia?

Oh! So Ukraine is more of a threat and Finland is not, when both share boarders with Russia!

So much of double standards! Just say the obvious reason! Russia cannot invade Finland because it was smart enough to quickly join NATO.

Putin has lost on all fronts! Sweden will join and Russia will be surrounded by Nuclear warheads. So what’s the meaning of occupying one country when you already lost two other countries

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.

Respectfully, you don't just "stitch together" varying systems and expect high fidelity in Air Defense.

Look up literally every AD modernization process in the last 20 years. The US decided not to add more Iron Dome systems because it didn't fit their operational doctrine. Despite it having one of the best kill rate on the planet. India has been conducting year long strategic planning on what systems to get, what capabilities to press for or self-develop; and it isn't 100% complete. The UK does not have a Patriot system because it doesn't play as well as they'd like with their other systems.

So to assume that Ukraine can cobble together an AD blanket that rivals that of first rate militaries is downright lunacy.

The Americans had plenty of time to appropriately set up layers of defense in Saudi Arabia unlike the rush job ongoing in Ukraine. Furthermore, the system is highly computerized and the Americans always had "contractors" as part of the operating team for the Saudi installations. So you can't simply chalk the poor performance to inexperienced natives. With say a fighter jet, operator skill is a huge deal. Not with a missile defense system. You don't want an entire city blown to bits because some guy made the wrong call, so a lot of the decision (when to fire, tracking...) are performed by the onboard computer processor. Hands-off. A proto-AI if you will.

The Ukrainians are good technically, but the UKR Army is not "superior" to the Russian Army. Get off Zelensky's d*ck.

This is what Borrell said earlier this month:

"If we don't support Ukraine, Ukraine will fall in a matter of days."

https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2023/05/05/if-we-dont-support-ukraine-ukraine-will-fall-in-a-matter-of-days-says-josep-borrell

Any other superfluous musing and chest beating is just bravado. There's no substance.

I'm still at a loss about your obsession with taking out all the ADs or using a conditional with respect to torching the Patriot. I gave you a link. It's confirmed by the Yanks. The Russians successfully hit the Patriot system. Well, you claim there are more potent systems from other Allied countries. According to the UKR propaganda, only the Patriot is taking out hypersonic missiles. Not the IRIS-T which is a more formidable, more modern system. So the MoD has put a kibosh on that posturing.

As to your last two paragraphs, all I can respond with is LOL. Not even Gen Milley is that optimistic. Thanks for the laugh.

-Lord

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

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?

You’ve clearly wasted the money your community pulled together to educate you.

You see why you're amongst the mumu category here on nairaland? I'm speaking of what was one of the war causal issues and you're speaking of what's ongoing during the war now.. Go and study mumulogy, you're a mumu man., na sense you no get.. You just delve into issues without knowing the facts..

Take a tour on the streets of califonia, you would understand what shithole means, repeat same for downtown New york and most cities in US generally, then you will understand what CNN will not tell you.
