Russia is forward deploying 8 divisions for Zapad 17 | |
Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 75407393 Australia 09/01/2017 05:22 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | These are heavy strike formations, intended for deep offensive operations. They are also just the first echelon forces. Follow-on formations would then move in from the Urals. I'm not saying that Russia is planning to go on the attack. But they are clearly rehearsing an invasion of NATO border states. |

They could easily roll over the Baltics and penetrate Poland as far as the Vistula, possibly besieging Warsaw and Gdansk. If it actually comes to war, there will be other theaters of course. The 8th Guards Army, the 58th Army, the 22nd Army Corp in Crimea and the DNR Corp and LNR Corp are all still available in the Southern Direction. They could sweep over southern Ukraine and threaten Romania. The 2nd Guards Army, the 41st Army and the 5 western heavy divisions of the National Guard constitute the strategic reserve and possible occupation forces. All up I estimate Russia can commit about 500,000 men to a war against NATO. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 75467720 New Zealand 09/01/2017 05:47 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | On the move are the 1st Guards Tank Army, the 20th Army, the 6th Army, the 11th Army Corp in Kaliningrad, the Belarus Army and most of the VDV airborne. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75407393 That's 2 tank divisions, 3 motorized divisions, 3 airborne divisions and 13 brigades. About 130,000 combat troops with 1,500 tanks and 70,000 support troops. Wee bit dramatic. Just war games. Just like NATO does. Just like America does with every other nation. Relax. It's going to be okay. |

>S< User ID: 2544651 Slovenia 09/01/2017 09:25 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I could add that each of those Army groups has an Iskander brigade attached, and they will certainly have a role in Zapad 17, and a brigade may very well be flown into Kaliningrad for the exercise.

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 75407393 Australia 09/01/2017 10:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It is now clear that the 8th Guards Army and its subordinate DNR Corps and LNR Corps have a role in Zapad 17. This adds another motorized division and 11 brigades, about 100,000 men and 500 tanks. This brings the total forces involved in Zapad 17 to 300,000 troops and 2,000 tanks, and suggests that simultaneous offensive operations against Ukraine and NATO are part of the Russian plan for General War in the Western Strategic Direction. |

The entire world is basically on the brink and the US is losing it's grip. Russia knows the USA can't effectively defend Nato or Europe. Soros has basically opened Europe up for the Russians. |

The globalists running the US are looting common Americans, looting our traditions and heritage, too, destroying our national sovereignty (open borders), bringing in millions of illegals, trashing our constitution, running the brothel called "congress", pushing for the normalization of every form of derangement thinkable, using the US military as their own mercenary force in interventions in their interest, including now directing the force of the US against Russia etc. Putin and Russia are, in the interest of the Russian nation standing up to these globalists. And someone wants me to cheer for the real enemy of Americans and against the enemy of my enemy? |
