paradoxes of ballistics

it seems that it is very hot in Visokopyla

A big push with broken communications? I doubt it, more like misinformation

yeah, sometimes it's hard to understand what kind of nonsense he is talking about

people fought for freedom under Stalin, Khrushchev, Brezhnev and others, but they were able to win only under Gorbachev. The victory was made possible thanks to his policy

he was definitely behind the collapse of the USSR

it seems to be true today there is a change of epochs

gorby died. one of the people behind the emergence of modern Ukraine. I remember this character when I was a child

There is an opinion that they are trying to shoot down a new Ukrainian satellite, bought with donations.

Haven't you ever heard the firing of S 400 complexes before?

why do you think so? they are ordinary actors, they don't have to die

Iskander's effective scattering area is larger than that of HIMARS, it will be visible from a greater distance.

What kind of Russian missiles like HIMARS intercepted Ukrainian air defense?

Officially, Transnistria is part of Moldova. Ukraine's invasion of Moldova does not sound very realistic. Unless if Moldova officially asks Ukraine to send troops to Transnistria...

Why were you not afraid when Ukraine in May shelled the territory of the Belgorod region, which from time immemorial was Russian territory, but are afraid of the shelling of Crimea, which the Russians captured only a few years ago?

It looks like Russia. He demanded to be transported free of charge on a bus as a war veteran. The driver demanded that he pay like everyone else and he does not care about this war. A good illustration of the attitude of the bulk of Russians to this war and its veterans. At the end of the war, no matter how this war ends, poverty and humiliation await them. So it was after the Second World War, when thousands of useless disabled veterans slowly died not in a war-torn country.

The fact of the matter is that if Moscow does not suppress the first manifestation of separatism with blood, a chain reaction will occur in which various territories will begin to announce their secession from Russia. In this case, there will be no interior areas. Almost every region will be a separate seething cauldron. For example, in 1990, the Baltic countries announced their secession from the USSR, and already in 1991, Ukraine and Belarus announced this, although in these countries there were no strong separatist sentiments, unlike the Baltic states.

Well, yes, there are still Tatars, Bashkirs, Buryats, Udmurts, Tuvans. It must be understood that the supremacy of Moscow over these peoples is ensured by strong power. All the collapses of Russia, such as 1917 or 1991, occurred with the weakening of the organs of repression. As for the further collapse of Russia, one can recall 1994, when, following the example of Chechnya, there were active discussions about secession in Tatarstan, and separatist sentiments were always strong in Siberia and Buryatia. But after the war in Chechnya, where Russia demonstrated its readiness to shed the blood of the rebellious peoples, these discussions quickly subsided. But it is safe to say that they will undoubtedly arise again as soon as Russian power weakens.

Shortly before the collapse of the USSR, there were no signs of its imminent collapse. In Ukraine in 1991, there were many supporters of Ukraine being part of the USSR (my grandparents are a good example of this, I'm sure this applies to most of the older generation of the USSR). Nagorno-Karabakh strongly influences the internal state of Russia also in the sense that the Armenians make up a significant and very influential part of Russian society (take at least such propagandists as Simonyan and Keosayan). The loss of Karabakh by Armenia is a very heavy blow for them (at least the Armenian diaspora of Ukraine experienced this event very hard)

it says that he was a squad leader in a motorized rifle company

In general, the situation is quite tense, food and fuel prices are constantly rising. In the first months of the war, our government kept the value of the national currency against the US dollar. But in the last month, the hryvnia was released into free fall and declared that the old prices for the dollar would no longer exist. Prices for literally all groups of goods began to rise noticeably. Despite all this, the mood of the people is quite calm. I expected that during the war it would be much harder in the rear. So thanks to our Western allies for economic assistance

Regarding the strength of the 4th National Guard Brigade. As far as I know, on February 24 this brigade was in eastern Ukraine. In the places of its deployment there were rear and reserve units (several hundred people) They were also transferred to reinforce the special unit of the SBU "Alpha". but the main role in the fight against the Russian airborne assault was played by our artillery. I remember well their shooting on the first day of the war, judging by the loudness of the sound of the shots, as well as the fact that the rustle of shells flying towards Gostomel was perfectly audible, they were located very close to my house

I have not seen anywhere on this forum that someone claimed the genius of the Ukrainian command
