Someone underneath that tweet of the ship on fire posted an infrared satellite picture of it.

Russia is stationing ships near Snake Island for air defense of Southern Ukraine. At the same time Ukraine is using the island's radar shadow to mask incoming missiles.

Putin to send 'doomsday' warning to West at Russia's WW2 victory parade

LINK


quote:

The United States and its allies have ramped up supplies of weapons to Ukraine and Putin has faced calls from some in the Russian military to unleash greater firepower on Ukraine, two sources close to the armed forces told Reuters. Moscow has told the West that its arms supplies are legitimate targets.


oh so Russia is back to the ole....we are holding back our "A-Team" equipment line of propaganda???

quote:

A fly-past over St Basil's Cathedral will include supersonic fighters, Tu-160 strategic bombers and, for the first time since 2010, the Il-80 "doomsday" command plane, which would carry Russia's top brass in the event of a nuclear war, the Defence Ministry said.

In that scenario, the Il-80 is designed to become the roaming command centre for the Russian president. It is packed with technology but specific details are Russian state secrets.



:rotflmao:

like we couldnt target and take it out in about 2 seconds. Their thought process and mental gymnastics is fricking laughable.

A couple of Ukrainians with MANPADS could certainly cause some excitement at that parade.

US Naval Institute Analysis

Interesting comment on the downed flagship:

quote:

The crew of RTS Moskva (121) was blind to and not ready for the Ukrainian missile attack that sank Russia’s Black Sea flagship, according to a new analysis of the April 13 strike reviewed by USNI News. The review of images following the strike of the two Neptune anti-ship missiles from open-source naval analyst and retired Navy Capt. Chris Carlson told USNI News that the guided-missile cruiser did not have its radars activated and could not see the threat from the two weapons

Yeah not buying this. They should be picking up missile sign at launch right? You may have a momentary blind spot but you could make an argument now that their shite doesnt work.

Yea I read that report yesterday. It seems criminally negligent, bordering on outright incompetence to not have your radars active in a war zone.

Talk about underestimating your enemy.

Ukraine announced that it and Poland signed a very important military/defense agreement. They said Warsaw is a friend and would not stab Ukraine in the back. Wonder if they’re hinting about Polish forces moving in to secure western Ukraine abs freeing up those Ukrainian troops to move eastward?

The Russian consulate in Scotland made an IG post condemning the war

Right after the page was made private

Hopefully they beat feet and get into some type of protective custody

The amount of sheer incompetency, corruption, lack of logistics, leadership, basically everything...is just incomprehensible coming from a super power. Movies will be made of it.
