BTW. I knew that Russia's norther navy was a part of the reason nato wants finland, but I kinda thought the main reason was forest and swamp buffer zone filled with an army who knows how to use the terrain.

But I mean look at this shit.

Severomorsk is the main base of the northern navy. All this is not much over 100km from the finnish border. We would not be able to attack those, but with nato weaponry they are in danger.

But that was pretty obvious. Much less obvious, and not at all in public discussion here, is this

The line there is the kirov railway. It runs about 100km from the border. It is pretty much the only way to supply the bases.

The single road and rail link is their weakness, they are heavily dependent on the railroads and blowing up a few rail bridges along the route would screw them. Blowing up a few road and rail bridges in Siberia would cut the country in half and an obvious target for separatists in the region, some of whom are fighting in Ukraine. Vlad opened a real can of worms with his war in Ukraine and his many enemies large and small are coalescing there, making contacts, meeting and planning. Many fighters from former soviet Republics are there, from Georgians to Belarusians and many others, a rich recruiting grounds for spies and agents of every kind, around and inside Russia.

A liberal democratic Ukraine and Belarus will do the most to change the politics and culture of Russia and putting an iron curtain through the middle of the Russian cultural world would be impossible these days. The west will "infect" Russia, it has already begun and a prosperous liberal democratic Ukraine will end up containing most of the young brains of Russia.

What good would it be for separatists to blow the road and rail line to themselves? Will they be performing a self inflicted siege? "You give us what we want otherwise we will starve ourselves out."

Sometimes such people don't think that far ahead and different groups in different republics have different objectives, being close to the resources of China might make a difference for some. Ultimately we might be dealing with a diverse group of people acting out of a variety of motives. It could be anybody who wanted to weaken or cause trouble to the Russian federation or to divert resources from elsewhere.

Well, this usually pessimistic fellow seems to be changing his mood.

Ukraine War: Ukrainians have 'pinned' the Russians in place in Severodonetsk
157,188 views Jun 7, 2022 Defence and Security Analyst Professor Michael Clarke says that Russian forces are "pinned in place" in the besieged city of Severodonetsk. He says that the Russians are obsessed with the city over its "symbolic" importance, so Ukrainian forces are taking advantage of that and continuing the battle to protect two key cities further west.

Pics of “ The Executioner ( VAHA ) from Wagner Group mercenaries- he was put down like a dog by Ukrainian sniper while on Recon mission.

So, if Vlad is using the separatists pro Russians in the LPR & DPR as poorly equipped Cannon fodder and pissing off the rest, while destroying their homes and communities during retreat, how will an eventual referendum work out? While Ukraine is prospering and Russia is under the sanctions outhouse? The same can be said for Crimea, pro Russians have been, dragooned there and are fighting in Ukraine too. When it comes to fighting in Crimea and the destruction wrought, will probably depend on the timely destruction of the Kerch Bridge.

Donbas Battle l Putin Using Pro-Russia Separatists As Cannon Fodder To Save His Troops in Ukraine?
12,511 views Jun 7, 2022 Kremlin is deploying poorly trained, ill-equipped pro-Russian Ukrainian troops to fight in Donbas, as per UK intelligence assessment. The pro-Russian Ukrainians are reportedly carrying out some of the most deadly fighting in east Ukraine. The report adds that ill-equipped and poorly trained pro-Kremlin Ukrainians are sent to the battlefront in an attempt to spare the lives of its own forces. The assessment comes as Russia steps up its campaign to encircle Ukrainian forces in the Donbas region.

Dueling with a drone and losing, they were shooting at the drone targeting them and zigged when they shoulda zagged.
Keep looking up and keep an eye on the falling bomb, running with yer head down could be fatal. They should have hundreds of teams with these things by now, global volunteer support has been pouring in and the army sees their value. The Russians can't have drone jammers everywhere and they don't have many.

A half dozen drones attacking trenches with four bombs each would kill the defenders or drive them into underground bunkers as your troops approached their trenches. They could take out machine gun positions, dug in tanks and troops with anti tank weapons, right until your troops were practically on top of them. They could even drop regular hand grenades on troops and a larger drone could fly along a trench line raining grenades into it every couple of meters. Along with long range artillery using drones too and switchblades, it could be a better and cheaper way of attacking dug in positions. Break through their defenses quickly and you can use armor in their rear to attack their logistics and neighboring BTGs from their rear and roll along their supply lines cutting their fronts off.

yep double up ordnance at least. Pound them .

Or maybe bundle them like the old M24 potato ( lol ) mashers from days past.

Russian : Hey look … potato.
BOOM

Skyborne tech has a drone that drops 3 40mm grenades. Would think a similar cradle / mount could be configured / modded.

Maybe the birth of “ Hunter Killer “ SKYNET drones in the works …. *shrugs.

I say the pro-Russia Ukrainians should be at the forefront of the fight. If they had their allegiances to Ukraine none of this would be happening. Send them all to the front and line up.

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation convicted Zelensky of spreading fakes
Ukrainian nationalists tried to hide behind Orthodox shrines as their “shield”, retreating, burned it, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky tried to shift the blame for this to the Russian side. This was stated in the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

“According to local residents, a large-caliber machine gun mounted on an armored car set fire to the newly built in 2009 wooden monastery of All Saints of the Russian Land with a burst of incendiary ammunition. Thus, Zelensky, with his statements about the allegedly deliberate destruction of the cultural heritage of Ukraine by Russia and the demands to “exclude Russia from UNESCO and the UN for this,” once again lied not only to the Ukrainian people, but to the entire world community,” the Defense Ministry said.

The agency clarified that the Russian military did not allow damage to historical and Orthodox monuments on the territory of the Holy Dormition Svyatogorsk Lavra. To confirm this, the Ministry of Defense published a video.

So they burned the building they were hiding behind? Does that make sense? Or that the Russians bombed it as they do so the Ukrainians can not use it as cover?

How a 15-year-old Ukrainian drone pilot helped destroy a Russian army column
566,242 views Jun 6, 2022 As Ukraine's forces keep battling Russia, some civilians are playing a pivotal role in repelling the enemy. Consumer drones in particular have become a crucial tool in the Ukraine war. Hundreds of civilian drone operators have been documenting everything from Russian troop movements to evidence of war crimes. Their images are posted online or shared with Ukrainian authorities, leaving the Russian invasion force nowhere to hide—all because of commercial technology that even kids can operate. In a Global News exclusive, Jeff Semple introduces you to a 15-year-old drone pilot getting credit for helping to spot and destroy a row of Russian military vehicles.
