The Ukraine war thread

Sabre rattling. It means nothing and I call B. S. to the threat. Those are highly mobile systems that can be set in place at the drop of a hat and have a range that enables them to be deployed onto target from well within the borders of Russian Federation.

I've read that Russian troops have been told that the war must be over, one way or another, for the May 9 WWII victory celebration. Perhaps Putin will claim Donetsk and Luhansk and declare victory..
Hearing that as well. Quite plausible, although in the long run I still believe he wants total control over the whole of Ukraine.

This is a BFD.
That ship was used to launch countless missile attacks from the Black Sea. There are two sister ships, but Turkey is denying entry to the Black Sea to all military vessels.
I would love to have been a fly on the wall when Putin heard this.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

@George-K said in The Ukraine war thread:
"How do you lose naval superiority to a country that doesn’t have a navy?"

One story I read said that there are
threetwo ships of the Kirov class.Of the remaining two, one is undergoing a retrofit and, with all the sanctions, parts might be impossible to obtain. The other one, to replace "The Jewel of the Black Sea" will not be allowed passage, as I said.
