Russia invading Ukraine (NEWS/UPDATES)

[Luna17]

On paper.. Do you think all of them are properly equipped and in a position fight, he is using his best troops now, the rest is a conscript army
Russia cannot sustain a long campaign, they cannot afford it

With so many countries sending arms I wonder if they are outgunned anymore. Russia's stock isn't endless, especially with sanctions. Russia needed to finish this one quickly.

They going to have to hit them from above, which I reckon was down the contingency plan list. They seem to have plenty of stingers ready and they'll fettle tanks on the streets. Unfortunately we could wake up to some grim scenes in the morning.

Is this the event than attracts direct intervention from other countries?

How great would it be to wake to scenes of our pilots in Cyprus touching ground to chants of “there were ten Russian bombers…etc”.

Oh dear

Before anyone gets hopeful of shooting down, the missiles have 1500km range. Lobbed in from total safety.

The missiles themselves can be shot down though. They fly about the same speed as a commercial jet

Provoked by the bad guys without protection from the mods. Perhaps the wait and see tactics were intentional?

And there it is, the obligatory thin skin.

Yes sadly. Only good thing is that they have limited numbers. Once these are fired it's boots on ground next.

Easier said than done. It’s consuming me.

Goes for you aswell then .

I’m worried about it and come on here for a look when I get 5.It’s totally out our hands and really what the worst that will happen(realistically) .

 

[Visiting owl]

Again, show me which ones on this thread, I’m not going to respond to your posts again, only because I don’t want to derail the thread, but as I said in my last reply to you, Im happy to eat humble pie

Your joking right?


Anyway, not worth falling out over....


Apologies if I you think I am out of order.

We must hope and pray that they last out long enough to receive them

I’d be worried if I was in a city. Can see them picking one to absolutely batter.

This thread shouldn’t just be on the politics forum it’s probably not on the open forum to stop it being locked or moved into others.

It feels like it’s in its natural home.

 

[Beery]

I don’t have a clue what your take is.

Taking the piss

Aye, that would go down well in the Jacksons

That’s the spirit.


Fighting like old boilers on Facebook isn’t what we want here.Everyone Should move on as it’s fuckin pathetic

 

[Luna17]

Ukraine politician on Radio 4 just now reckons Belarus forces are actively fighting with the Russians north of Kyiv because the Russians aren’t able to break through by themselves.

They'll be crack troops like. Can barely afford to feed their own people.

 

[martinlumley]

Absolutely not.

I just find it strange that every single post she/he makes is a negative one about the government. Like others have said, it's neither the time or the place right now.

Anyone would think she/he has an ulterior motive.

can you just shut the fuck up mate, you're spoiling a good thread with your silly games.

 

[MackemTonyG]

The problem quite often is framing. I do not support the invasion of Ukraine, now what?

Now ya go on ignore, suggest everyone else does as well as you aren’t reading the room here

Another flippant comment by you, you do realise what happens if we send in troops or planes don’t you? The people of London probably wouldn’t wake up in the morning
