Citizen of EU @wavetossed 8m
There is a report that #Russia has moved an Iskander rocket complex. This could be used to destroy ground assets like army base or airbase

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 56420574


The shill is strong in this one.
Iskander is near Ballistic. If launched even Washington can detect it. hardly something Russia could hide if used.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 57703222


Who said anything about intending to hide it once used?

Shooting breaks out near #Donetsk airport, fighter planes fly over [link to en.itar-tass.com]
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 54607470


I thought Kiev said they already secured the airport.

All that killing and no clay gained.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 56420574


this!
 Quoting: Matjaz


The pro-Kiev shills were out in full force earlier claiming that they had scored a massive victory yesterday and that the airport was in their control.

Judging from available reports, most of the dead pro-Russians were in a convoy with wounded soldiers retreating to a medical facility - and the airport itself never really changed hands even though there is intense fighting.

This is still far from over and with the re-inforcements pouring in to the pro-Russia camp I am quite sure the Ukies will have to eat up their latest target of finishing the ATO by weeks end.

Perhaps this is why they are dropping leaflets all over town instructing people to find shelters - since they've decided to go all in and use heavy artillery and MLRS on built up areas.

Will be interesting to see if they choose this course of action and what Putins response would be.
 Quoting: Iskander 3910366


I really could not observe the last 24 hours. So, dont know in detail what went down. The anger and sadness was a bit much. Thanks for the recap.

How much of a ratcheting up of rhetoric is this from Russia? I am not getting the sense that this is much more than would be predictable from the ATO continuing after the election. Janey, do you or your sources sense any sort of dramatic shift in tone from Russia?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 58307179


what I was told is that Russia had been given back channel info that the ATO would be scaled down after the elections and that reconciliation would be the new priority. It seems Russias feel betrayed that the ATO has been scaled up instead.
 Quoting: Janey


I guess the only thing that surprises me is that Russia has placed that amount of faith in back channel assurances. I still am not getting the sense that Russia has started to lose patience and stopped talking. However, every betrayal of this sort makes diplomacy less viable and war more likely.

Russia may feel that the infiltration option will be adequate in Ukraine for now but this confrontation is bigger than that and these "miscommunications" can come with a large price down the line.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 58307179


Problem is it seems that Russia is largely unprepared for anything. If instead it was the USA at their shoes they would even have special tech disguised as civilian stuff designed to take whole tank battalions out and blame all the damage on something irrelevant like tanks parked near a gas line. But thats USA for you and this is why they are winning in this World although they are past the point they became bankrupt.

Never underestimate a smart mind. Russia is steps ahead in their thinking...don't take what is happening as being unprepared, it looks to me like they want to take the high road.

Hmm, didn't think of that, interesting theory. Somehow, I doubt they would pull a false flag of that sort since it would be like that saying "if a tree falls in the forest and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a noise?"

Difficult to say what Russia was or was not prepared for. In diplomacy, especially private diplomacy, unwritten rules are very important.

We don't know the source of the backchannel assurances Russia received but if it was the US, even indirectly, that could be very destabilizing. Once both sides start lying to each other in private large surprises are possible. There has been a sense that things have been under control behind the scenes. Not sure that is the case now, regardless of the situation on the ground in Ukraine.

I too thought "what the hell were they thinking?!" when I read what happened, but in all honesty, what would you do if you had 20+ wounded guys that needed to get to hospital ASAP?

You'd get a truck or whatever and move those guys to safety as soon as you could, even if you risked getting bombed from the air.

What really fucked them up though wasn't any aircraft or helicopter but a well prepared ambush in an area where they didn't expect enemies: sniper shot driver in the head, convoy stops and then they opened up with MG's and RPG's - total carnage.

First link is a Google search in Greek scanning for news about an alleged 1st April fools day news post about a false "HOT" incident over the Baltic's where 1 Russian air patrol shot down 2 Eurofighters belonging to Germany.
Second link is about the same news piece being scanned through blogs and not normal news sites.


[link to www.google.gr (secure)]

[link to www.palo.gr]

This is the original url of the site that made out this story.
This site belongs to a guy that lives in Bulgaria or at least posts a Bulgarian address. A Greek Defense site with a Bulgarian owner? It seems that this guy in reality is Jewish has indeed bought that site for 50.000 euros, uses it as a front for something and has served in the IDF in Israel in the Army Mechanics division and holds some posts as an "to English translations: in Bulgaria.

Yesterday same page had an article that HAF Hellenic Air Force is supposedly canceling their participation in the Baltic's exercise which I believe is false. I think they are going with the formal NATO schedule.

Overall strange coincidences.
Just a heads up for whatever is worth.

STRANGE COINCIDENCE,
