aww what's wrong Lushy, can't pay your bills, ask Pooty for help.......
They had that problem in Soviet times, they could steal it, but with few exceptions and a lot of national effort, couldn't produce it with their shit economic system. The economic system has changed from communism to a mismanaged kleptocracy with even less domestic competition. When they opened up to the globe in 1990 a lot of things were cheaper to import than to make in the old state enterprises, even for those things they could make. Nothing but imports filled the vacuum, a western liberal democracy would have developed a domestic manufacturing base and a lot of other things for Russia, considering the vast fortune pouring in from energy and the rich vastness of the land. Instead, money was stolen from the country and kept abroad, there being few places to invest it and most being illegal anyway, oligarchs and the connected ran and benefited from the economy.That's a risk those making the decisions decided to take, and it's been worth it so far. If the Ukrainians deploy a weapon or piece of equipment, and things go wrong,there is a chance russia could get their hands on something we don't want them to...but it appears the watchers that were set in place to stop that from happening did their jobs.
And really, are the russians in a position to exploit new technology? They're having trouble keeping the shit they have now running.
As soon as the car traffic out of Crimea stops, the less Russians there the better, taking out just the railway section would fuck the Russians and still allow civilians to leave. They wanna win the peace and these assholes might decide to stay when the realize they won't be killed on sight, too late when they are gone, and Ukraine owns Crimea. If their houses and apartments are still standing, they will be filled by de-housed refugees from other parts of Ukraine. If the Kerch rail bridge is destroyed and the Ukrainians drive to the sea of Azov, it will make it impossible for the Russians to hold southern Ukraine or Crimea. It will be game over and with only cars able to cross, most of the equipment would be left behind out of fuel and ammo.
UA needs to get to that dam, and ck for explosives devices and the such
The Ukrainians have two ticklish problems in that region, the dam and the nuclear power plant.UA needs to get to that dam, and ck for explosives devices and the such
be a nice area of concentration for anti air batteries imoThe Ukrainians have two ticklish problems in that region, the dam and the nuclear power plant.
It is a war crime to destroy dams, also you can say goodbye to the cities you want to get for yourself.UA needs to get to that dam, and ck for explosives devices and the such
They need to get within tube artillery range and start using drones to obliterate and Russian positions around or on the dam, and perhaps insert special forces by water and or air to protect it. Blowing it presents problems for the Russians too, which is one reason why the Ukrainians might prevent their escape around Kherson until the dam is secured. It is already under fire from the mobile long range 155mm stuff I believe. They may use human shields though which is why they could move more than their lackeys, but it should be hard for them to get anything across soon. They would surround a tank with civilians on a barge for instance, they are real assholes. So, make sure they have fuck all to cross the river with, pontoon bridges, barges, boats and tugs are all sunk on sight. It will also close off one of their two evacuation routes back into Crimea if they blew the dam and trap or drown their own units in the area.UA needs to get to that dam, and ck for explosives devices and the such
