Russia invading Ukraine (NEWS/UPDATES)

[Viper]

Nuke Ukraine, take out 75% of the Russian army and then walk into Russian and renamed it Ukraine mk2

Russia have 900,000 active personnel and a further two million reservists in their army. Only 200 000 were sent to Ukraine.

What if the wind changes

Keep an ear open in Gorky Park and you may hear it changing.

Edit: Great minds eh @Bob Fleming

Good move by the mods to put this on the main board. Much improved content once again.

Put it on pure football and people will want the ukranians going traditional 442 and long ball tactics

Another layperson question alert:

If he drops nukes on Ukraine, won’t Moscow get the fallout because of wind direction?

He'd probably use tactical nukes so that it wouldn't be too much of an issue.

How many boomers do we have deployed at any one time? Is it only the one?

it'll probably be answered by the time i post this (as i'm on the overnight catchup)

as far as i have read...

normally - 1 out, 1 just back in, 1 in short refit, 1 in deep refit

but probably with surge capability to get the first 3 out in an emergency

Seems China have opposed economic sanctions on Russia FFS.

Where?

 

[HellsBells]

Then they will follow the moskva down to gorky park

Oh my word, that was good.

Many said at start this was a potential end game. East Ukraine "liberated" plus Crimea land linked to Russia & a new warm water naval base at Mariupol.

Honestly if you were Zelensky would you take that at min?

Terms were apparently disarm, become neutral & give us Crimea. I might agree to last 2 but in fact get a solid neutral army as self defence force a bit like Finland or Japan.

Potential huge gains long term for Ukraine (once rebuilt) I think as a new sort of Switzerland sitting between East & west.

Putin wants the whole of Ukraine, that’s why there’s a 20 mile convoy heading into Kiev,

I wouldn’t have thought he’d drop nukes on Ukraine, if the video about his reasoning is to believed he’ll need Ukraine to be a place that is ‘workable’ to extract the gas reserves. Can’t do that if it’s been nuked. Guess that’s one positive in the will he/won’t he nuke debate

What are tactical nukes?

 

[Scotty]

I have a pal who served on one Sub, I asked him what was the longest time it spent underwater, I was shocked when he said almost 6 months.

American boomers have 2 crews for each boat - so they can go out, spend x months at sea, return and swap the crew and load up on consumables, head straight back out for another x months

What are tactical nukes?

smaller ones

 

[Scotty]

A few years after I left the RN i went onboard on of our nuke subs to do some work. Thank fck I didn't choose to volunteer for the submarine service. I can't imagine being stuck for months without a sight of the outside world

be like living in East Durham i'd assume

 

[beverly macca]

We can't gan lobbing around nukes man, if he starts doing it first then it's a massive pile on I'd expect mind.

So as long as he’s fired first it’s okay to lob nukes around? Seems daft.

For those wondering about Russian logistics, this is a good article. It was about them attacking the Baltic states, but the same principles apply.

Yep. War drags you down. I must admit being the appalling way the Russians have acted I think well done when you see one of their vehicles wiped out. Forgetting that really those are Human lives being lost who don’t want to be there either

Agreed. Hopefully the world will be a slightly better place when it’s all over.

Sick bastard is dropping bombs on residential areas in Kherson. Sooner this is over the better.
