Going to make Russia mad!

Twitter links in the article with a bunch videos.




U.S. officials have told The War Zone in the recent past that targets in Crimea are fair game for Ukrainian forces using advanced U.S. weapons. The U.S. sees Crimea as illegally occupied by Russia and no different than the territory it holds in eastern Ukraine. As such, all military targets are fair game, as well as critical infrastructure it relies on to keep its war machine and occupation efforts running.

While some Ukrainian officials claim their military carried out an attack on the base, it is not unheard of for major accidents at Russian ammunition supply depots to occur, although the chances of that being the case are relatively slim in this instance.

However, Novofedorovka is about 124 miles (200 kilometers) from the front lines.

Oh no, so sad.

The Largest Russian Air Force loss since ww2 and financially probably about 500 million dollars.

But whatever they do they are not to use those advanced weapons to attack targets across the border in Russia.

I worry that our "borders" are so fucking weak that we may see it used against us in the homeland at some point.

Technically anything within 200 miles of Ukraines original borders are fair game, including Russia and Belarus.  Therefore Ukraine can attack Minsk and Sochi with weapons if they want.

The Soviet army back then is not what is on show here.

They were really good in some areas, laughably bad in others.

Good? IO. Look at how folks gobble it up.

Bad? Caring about their people.

Russia was always going to win. Give it another month, those 1km a month gains will turn into 2km. It's a war of attrition, and Russia emptying prisons shows they can pull it off.

Considering what was abandoned in Afghanistan and given for free to terrorist groups that for sure will use it against the US in their first opportunity, does it really make a difference?

Ukrainians are selling a good part of the stuff they get anyways.  

So, just a bit more to the pile.  I just hope that they are used first against the politicians that decided to abandon and/or send that stuff over there.

Crimea is a big deal, since 2014 since it was used as a staging area for this 2022 assault.

Ummmm...   No, I don't think it means that.   I think Russia emptying prisons shows just how desperate they are, and how few options they have to obtain more meat to feed into the Ukrainian grinder.

Hopefully we're keeping a sharp eye on all our CONUS infrastructure.  Certainly seems waaaay too easy to access such things and harm them in a 'non attributable' manner.

By all accounts the Ukraine invasion or at least the current resuts of same, is not very popular IN Russia.  Directly attacking the populace at THIS point might galvanize support for the war rather than allow its unpopularity to perhaps hasten a withdrawl.

Complete intel blackout, total commitment to Maskirovka disinformation and propaganda programs, deep infiltration of our social and academic institutions coupled with leftover strength from WW2.
It all rotted away but they played to their strengths. But underlying all that were thousands of nukes.
Then there are the "Military-Industrial Complex collusion" conspiracy theories.

I believe that it is morally wrong for Russia to annex foreign countries by force.

I believe that free countries have a responsibility to help Ukraine repel Russia's immoral and internationally illegal actions.

The probability of a terrorist (foreign and domestic) using a box truck packed with ANFO on a soft target far outweighs anyone smuggling small arms and munitions halfway across the globe and smuggling it across our border just to carry out an attack.

Actually If the rooshins wanted to have a chance at interrupting the supply of advanced weapons from the US to the UKR,  employing a an America hating third party to use a jav or a stingy to hit an hvt conus would certainly start that conversation. Lets hope that doesn't happen.
