Russia invading Ukraine (NEWS/UPDATES)

[HellsBells]

It’s a tasty target but it’s also defended by SA-19 AA vehicles(which you can clearly see) and god only knows what else.

If they could hit it im sure they would. I mean, why wouldn’t you?

What’s an SA-19AA? (For the layperson like me)

 

[Concordsafc]

Thank you. I take it that means the Russians have the ability to shoot down aircraft from the ground in their positions in Ukraine?

They will have yes, it’s probably a battle Ukraine don’t want or need right now.

 

[Napoleon Dynamite]

Im not the one sat back on a message board questioning peoples tactics

People are just curious I wouldn’t get too wound up

 

[Concordsafc]

A surface to air missile an anti aircraft weapon a very light in weight on to carry with you also. That’s the 18 sorry.

But they have those above aswell as the tanks mentioned.

 

[chrismisterx]

Thank you. I read somewhere that the Russians still don’t have air dominance and they thought they would, so I assumed that meant the Ukrainians still has the ability to fly bombers over stuff, particularly in their own country. Would they just get shot down? Where from? And do they have drones?

Have drones yes and been using them to good effect.

A tank with 4 surface to air missiles and a mobile radar system. The you have the BUK launchers that they used to down that airliner. They are deployed too.

AA is anti-air. Russia have a shit tonne because their airforce is vastly inferior to its nato foes.

 

[redandwhiterob]

Do you agree with what Russia are doing ?

Are you f***ing taking the piss? Is this what its come to? Im not willing to play COD on a message board so I support this invasion?

Don’t forget the all the aa shit soldiers can carry these days too light as fuck also.

Hopefully the 70 planes that are getting sent to Ukraine from the EU will get stuck into them and overwhelm any defences of the convoy

Cod is shit mate. It’s Hell Let Loose these days for the real war mongers.

MIG 29s are decent and will cause chaos. I think most Russian planes they encounter will be 27/29’s so even.

Russia have stealth planes etc that look f***ing scary, but they have about 3 they could actually deploy. All fart.

 

[safcforever]

Russians supply lines are piss poor. Most of that convoy will be logistics.

This will likely be true. They will have supplies ready to establish a new government or set up a tent city.

As for bombing the fuck out of them, what are they really gonna achieve? 10 missiles would hit say 30 trucks. 60 dead and some billy burners destroyed.

 

[mux]

I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit.

It's the only way to be sure.

Reckon you’re the man for the job like

If you read about WW2 it’s quite f***ing nuts that Kiev/Kharkiv/Odessa etc are being fought over by Ukrainians and Russians. This area can tell a few f***ing tales of war.

Was just pondering it actually. If they're a column heading into a bottleneck, all the Ukrainians need to do is set up a single ambush at the pinch point. Take out the first few vehicles and you've essentially blocked the entry for the entire column. I think this is the plan.

If anyone is interested in Russia's capabilities in the air check this video. 30 mins long so you will have to be interested because they waffle on a lot.

it is really much weaker than they would have us believe, obviously.

A very cunning one.

It’s time to start cracking atoms!!

I guess you’ve answered your question in the first paragraph though? If this convoy contains supplies and a new government, why wouldn’t they try and bomb the fuck out of it? Or as someone has said, the first couple of them to stop them, or slow them down?

I guess laypeople like me look at the “17 mile convoy” and think fuck that’s scary, that’s a lot of weapons. And the fact that it’s just allowed to waltz through to the capital with no resistance looks strange, hence why I asked the question.
