Fingers Point At Russia In Baltic Undersea Pipeline Attack
https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/fingers-point-at-russia-in-baltic-undersea-pipeline-attack Rumors and speculation continue to swirl around a series of blasts that significantly damaged two major underwater pipelines in the Baltic Sea designed to carry natural gas from Russia to Europe yesterday. The European Union has now joined a growing chorus of government officials, as well as experts and observers, saying the explosions were all but certainly the result of some kind of deliberate attack. A British media report today indicated that officials in that country are increasingly convinced that the Russian government is responsible, possibly using uncrewed underwater vehicles to plant explosives. At the time of writing, no EU member appears to have officially alleged that any specific actors may have been responsible for these apparent attacks, though officials in a number of countries within the bloc have made statements similar to Borrell's. The U.S. government has also shied away from attributing responsibility so far, though it has come to similar conclusions. Pentagon Press Secretary Air Force Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said today that the U.S. military is sharing pertinent information with its allies about the "apparent acts of sabotage." There are entirely unsubstantiated conspiracy theories, which Russian state and non-state actors are amplifying, circulating already that the U.S. government, or other actors working in cooperation with it, were responsible. Spreading misinformation and disinformation, or enabling their spread, are common Russian government tactics to deflect attention from its own malign activities. A remark from President Joe Biden in February before Russia's all-out invasion of Ukraine that the Kremlin's increasingly hostile actions toward its neighbor could lead to there "be no longer a Nord Stream 2," has also resurfaced. There is no indication whatsoever that this was anything but a comment on the potential diplomatic pressure the U.S. government would exert on German authorities to at least freeze that specific pipeline project, something that very publicly happened. All this being said, there are indications that Western intelligence agencies are increasingly of the view that the Russian government, or actors acting on its behalf, was responsible for the pipeline leaks. The Times newspaper in the United Kingdom, citing an unnamed U.K. "defense source," reported today that a "likely scenario" for the attacks involved Russian uncrewed underwater vehicles, deployed from a mothership vessel of some kind on the surface, possibly something as innocuous as a fishing boat. Those undersea drones would then have laid explosive devices along the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines. |

The M1 Abrams is by default the only modern Western tank that exists in the sort of numbers necessary to be able to equip Ukraine with any meaningful numbers. There aren't enough Challenger 2's. There aren't enough of the LeClerc. And there aren't enough Leopard 2 either. Germany has only a small fraction of them left in their own service and the others were sold here and there. Those who have them aren't going to give them up. And the number of Soviet tanks remaining in Europe are extremely few. Most have already been or are in the process of being sent to Ukraine. When that supply dries up, that is it.
The Abrams may be too heavy, too maintenance intensive and too much of a gas guzzler to be an ideal solution for Ukraine. But for the next few years, it is largely going to be the only show in town. Eventually, I think the K2NO Black Panther variant Norway is considering would be an ideal solution for Ukraine. But that is going to be a number of years down the road at best. The same applies for other possible Western solutions. Eventually more Leopard 2 might become available once Germany/France's new tank goes into production and Poland (and possibly Norway) start buying the K2. Also, for whatever it is worth, it seems Ukraine is actually doing some of its best work with more lightly equipped forces anyway, at least in the more forested eastern portion of the country where better concealment exists. Motivated men mounted in lighter wheeled vehicles have used their speed to go around and get behind defenders. These big breakthroughs and pushes we have witnessed in the last month probably relied more heavily on this speed and agility than they did massive formations of tanks attacking directly into the teeth of well fortified positions. Once they get behind the forward lines, they have free reign against Russia's support troops and equipment. |

If anyone besides the Russians blew up those pipelines, I think that someone would be Poland. It would be the perfect opportunity for them to not only stick their thumb into Russia's eye but simultaneously make sure Germany remains cut-off from Russian gas for a longer period of time. Heck, keeping Germany independent of the Russian tit is probably a more important long term goal than harming Russia's oil and gas industry. Germany's total dependence on Russian gas has been NATO's biggest liability for years and one of the key contributors to this war starting. Demonstrating the ability to sever that pipeline and shut down the flow of gas, regardless of who did it, demonstrates clearly that it now cannot be relied upon by the folks at the end of the stream. If it happened once in that region, it can happen again. Whether this was an act of Russian stupidity or someone in the west being exceedingly brilliant, the end result is the same either way.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ITCHY-FINGER: Originally Posted By Jack67: I know (roughly - not a DoD insider) what we’ve done wrt interception. It’s fantastic and it’s something we’ve done very, very right instead of being complacent since 1991. But are you confident we could get all leakers from a first strike? Theoretically speaking. Even if the answer were “yes,” I’m not advocating we do that and no one is - but just as a probability exercise. My understanding was our combined interception capabilities weren’t there yet, but I’m not an expert. This is a good conversation to have, not a frightening one. Because it underscores our ability to prevent a Russian - or anyone’s - first-use. With MAD not an operable part of force and strike calculations, Russia becomes relatively impotent. Reminding them of that is very likely what the State Dept. has been doing recently. If we wanted to, we could prevent a Russian nuclear use by simply saying “we view putting Ukraine under our nuclear umbrella as a logical corollary to the 1994 Budapest Memorandum.” It is quite possibly what has already been done quietly. Heck, we could make “The Budapest Corollary” a part of history more important than the Monroe Doctrine. I wonder if Russia's recently announced 'doomsday torpedo' the nuclear powered unmanned underwater drone armed with a big nuke that if launched would wind its way across the ocean and detonate (maybe a month later) near some city...was in recognition that Russia's nuclear deterrence (sub or land launched missiles) have been diminished or even thwarted? Thats almost certainly why. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By AlmightyTallest: ISW assessment for September 28th. https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-september-28 "Ukrainian forces likely continued to make significant gains around Lyman on September 28, advancing from the north along the Zelena Dolyna-Kolodiazi arc and from the southeast around Yampil. Geolocated combat footage corroborates claims made by Russian milbloggers that Ukrainians took control of Zelena Dolyna (15km north of Lyman) and pushed east to take control of Kolodiazi (11km northeast of Lyman). Several Russian sources indicated that Ukrainian troops pushed southeast of Kolodiazi and are fighting on the outskirts of Torske, just 12km northeast of Lyman. Russian milbloggers also claimed that Ukrainian troops accumulated near Yampil (13km southeast of Lyman) and broke through Russian defensive lines there to push towards Torske from the southwest. Russian sources additionally discussed Ukrainian gains northwest of Lyman and claimed that Ukrainian troops are attacking Shandryholove, about 10km northwest of Lyman. Geolocated footage shows that Ukrainian troops have liberated Novoselivka, just south of Shandryholove and 10km northwest of Lyman.[Several Russian milbloggers voiced escalated concern that Ukrainian forces are seeking to take control of the Svatove-Lyman road that is currently a critical ground line of communication (GLOC) for the Russian grouping in Lyman."

Another reminder of the true value of all those soviets with practically a suit of armor of medals Jackass https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/539199/AC166510-D02C-4D2F-946A-352DB03427EE-2542562.png He should get it on. Russia should draft him and sent him to the front lines. Dude he’s already a highly decorated nazi fighter warrior gnome. Don’t you remember his dirt kicking and his shitty basement quarters getting shelled like immediately after he was warming his coffee, but comrade God told him to blow a russian saving his life by divine intervention. Dont mess with texas! GD what a shitshow that guy is. Im really in awe this exists. He should be stuffed and put into a museum of brainwashing. Furthermore, he reminds me of our machinist with fetal alcohol syndrome that believes every conspiracy theory. |
