Even by Russian standards its horrible position. Radar operator here.
My main concern about situation with Azov commanders is that this violation of agreement could have negative effect on next exchanges.
They're really lost in Moscow.
The guarantee is that Sweden will support “efforts to reinvigorate the EU accession process” for Türkiye. Basically to help get the ball rolling. But in the end it’s up to Türkiye to decide whether EU membership is something they are interested in and if they are willing to make the necessary reforms.
We can't estimate how strong is Chinese army. Cases like this could become reason for Chinese overconfidence and next global conflict.
Patriot is mobile, but it's not moving out of the way of ARM's. I can't find numbers with a quick search but I'm sure Patriot relocation time is going to be minutes at best. Rather it would probably shoot down ARM carriers out of their range or possibly shoot down the ARM (or have surrounding SHORAD shoot it down). If there was advanced warning of an attack the site could move to an unexpected location though, as long as it had a couple of hours notice.
Yeah i was confused by the entire conversation. Russia social media puppets can show off pictures of SAM sites in the middle of gay pride parades (or whatever Ted Cruz wants to whine about) with map coordinates laid out on the ground with rocks and giant Target logos surrounding every truck. They can talk about how foolish NATO is because of it all they want, too.
Idea behind the modern military is that looks effective as ****. Everywhere and everytime. If complex that cost billions of dollars is tightly grouped 20km of enemy border, its ****show. Its reasoning behind Putler aggression. He saw Americans running out of Afghanistan dropping afghans in process. And became overconfident.
Chechnya is part of Russia according to every country in the world at the moment. Kinda the same thing with Syria. Abhazia-Georgyia war was initiated loong before RF as country was born. It was bloody mess. You can't compare those conflicts to Ukranian war that started only because of Russian ultra rights with RF support invasion.
Sure. Let's hope its local example of incompetence and US forces in Asia are more professional. I am not scared about Putler invading Poland or Estonia, but invasion in Taiwan is ****ing scary.
