Kaliningrad is its "own" entity oblast, has own international callsign prefix on the Baltic and probably being used to confuse UKRANIAN AIRSPACE in the east... and likely the route in for air delivered supplies etc ... and maybe a few donated jets! it is designated UA2 [ can be ub2 uc2 up to ui2 ] or RA2 with a letter after the 2 usually a K?
This type of thing will end the war - or create a civil war in Russia. As the families realise that they’ve been lied to and their men have been killed they won’t care about being arrested. Sobbing Russian says just ten soldiers remain in her son's regiment https://mol.im/a/10623789
one of their top airforce generals let slip ... all hell will be let loose when everyday Russians find out how many have died, and how much hardware they have lost. The image of the Russian people is they are almost invincible, But have traded the future youth of Russia [ 12000 conscripts? killed 30000 injured or captured, and the brains for the future leaving ] and its economy and stature in the world in tatters and worse state pre Stalin.. hope he has a fast jet to safety!!!! or a food tester!
If we can truly believe the news clips we are able to see it looks like the real facts and figures are filtering back to the general population of Russia. I can't believe the stupidity of Putin when he actually thought that his lies and propaganda could last forever especially when he shut down the normal sides of day to day life without a thought to the consequences. The biggest problem the world faces right now is who will win the minds of Russians and if it is Putin then watch out because he has lost his mind somewhere up his arse. Should common sense win out over lies and war crimes then so well and good but the Russian population have to realize that Putin has caused the rest of the world to put their nation out in the cold for a very long time and only when they have proven to us that they have no evil intent can they be listed as trustworthy. Perhaps China can offer him sanctuary where he can be used as an example of what an idiot with bad intent brings to the planet, but better still would be to hand him over to the Russian mothers who are now realizing what he did to their sons. The Ukrainians would have other options on how to deal with him.
I couldn't help but be skeptical over the video showing flag waving young people in a Moscow stadium applauding Russian territorial annexations. To me it looked very similar to public shows of governmental support in North Korea and even more like the Hitler Youth movement. What is going on in the Ukraine will continue until Putin can't stand the sight of blood and will be a blot on the potential for world peace for decades to come unless all of those standing on the sidelines hoping vainly for him to relent do something to stop him. Although it is felt that sanctions are cutting deeply into daily life in Russia we have to realize that China is sitting in the wings using the world's inaction against Putin as a springboard towards Taiwan. The world as we knew it is in serious trouble and if the current situation is allowed to continue without solution then the next move could prove insurmountable and irreversible.
His thinking was based on the fact that is was going to be a couple of days maybe no more than a week. THE 40 MILE CONVOY was supposed to have been taking up station in KIEV , however guerilla war fare type action by Ukranians PUT THAT ON HOLD....HILLY/ MOUNTAINOUS and road was in open valley". it was mainly conscripts? driving in and suplying logistics but without tyres and tracks were not going anywhere fast. There are dozens of different reports video's etc from over a dozen countries / sources that builds up pictures of what and where.... I suspect that the 2/3rds of Ukraine as yet seriously molested western side, will have loads of counter attack ability will BELARUS have the stomach to "join in the massacres? whether civilians or moreso their troops suffering the same as Russians!!! Putin I would suspect is drawing in more troops from eastern Russia and weakening his borders with the southern ex soviet blocks? Georgia owes him one so do the Chechens! FORGOT to press POST last night!
90% of the crowd were told they had to go... children were told they were going to a concert and would get let off some lessons!! most others were government departments who were told " you will go there and cheer and smile" He is in the mire with nothing going right, troops [young conscripts ] being notified as dead to parents now holding sway, and more and more video and other media evidence getting through to Russians from the brain drainers and people who have fled Russia... in some protests it seems the strong arm tactics are not being implemented? as forcefully ... the woman who ran off "was scared off" by the police shouting at her with a megaphone! a week ago they would have just piled in! it has been said that over 20,000 arms have been distributed to residents of KIEV ... ONE VIDEO SHOWED MIDDLE AGED WOMEN BEING SHOWN how to shoot .. are they angry enough to do so.. calmly! ... I suspect most are!
I notice that Belarus has been notably absent from the news recently and hopefully they have seen the errors of Putin's ways. The Russian woman seen on video talking about her son's regiment that only has 10 soldiers left and how she wants this to stop disappeared quickly when the fuzz showed up, but hopefully she was able to avoid arrest. I think she was the woman you mentioned being hailed by megaphone. The North Korean style concert was laughable in every way so how long will it be before Putin dons a moustache or starts wearing a uniform?
thats the incident .. they could have arrested her ... watching a tanker flew close to Polish border going north now use ADS-B a and flight radar edit is spy plane
Serious weaponry in the skies along with surveillance at very high altitudes. It's a side of this conflict that most people don't see unless they are interested enough to use flight radar.
Ah - now I understand why fuel prices have increased https://news.sky.com/story/cash-mac...ay-to-163446m-as-energy-prices-surge-12569227'Cash machine' BP more than doubles boss's pay to £4.46m as energy prices surge
It's stuff all to do with the Russia Ukraine conflict..again we all get to have our pants pulled down...
I think in the end THIS will be the downfall of Putin Ukraine war: Buses carrying corpses of Russian soldiers are filmed https://mol.im/a/10630593
How long will it take for the Russian people to fully understand where Putin is taking them? The only person he is fooling is himself and when the time comes that he is found out to be a liar, killer and a scourge not just on Russia but the entire world his fate will await him. The man needs to be taken out in the worst way possible to show how dangerous men like him deserved to be treated and he should have disappeared a long time ago. Get rid of Putin and you will almost certainly get rid of the war and then we can send the rest of the mob to their fates in the court of common people.
A mother, grandmother and grandfather living in Russia was phoned by her Russian daughter living with her Ukranian/Russian husband who was in tears because they believed because PUTIN via TV and his theatrics yesterday said so UKRAINE was a danger to russia and Russia had to protect themselves and were allowing people to leave TOWNS WHERE FIGHTING WAS GOING ON! 140 plus countries now signed up to the war crimes tribunal [ think this short circuits Nato version]? Fighting and shelling around the theatre where over 1000 trapped underground, a decisive choice of the Russian Army to make that their tomb!!! they will not allow anyone to clear the rubble and rescue interned!
It is now a dangerous time in the barbaric war orchestrated by the evil dictator Putin. Go back 4 days, RUSSIANS were bombing and shelling, launching indiscriminate missiles and bulling up what they were going to do next ........... Now in 24 hours it has changed! IN Ukraine they have lost 2 more senior colonels/ top generals [ 1 at hands of his own troops! ] thats 7 now? a very important ship, with 2 others badly damaged lost a lot of ground. And now had it confirmed the death rates of THE THEATRE / hospitals/ schools. ALSO the death rate of Russian soldiers is feeding back! as wounded get sent home.... unconfirmed properly is the number of tanks and transporters destroyed.. guess is over 500! The Russian plan ... in tatters, but now is the time to be wary... what is happening behind the scenes as Russia "eases off" ... a feint? or has more than we know of, close aides deserting him and top broadcasters /journalists slowly getting the ear of the brainwashed Ruskies! Then of course the belief of PUTIN .. no one really cares or will stick together .. so I can do as I please... but last 24/48 hours realization dawns ... [ there has been a regular stream of military planes last couple days between North America and Poland! Super lethal defensive weaponry ... also from UK and parts Europe ... ALSO THE THREAT that trying to stop the delivery into UKRAINE will be met with strong resistance.... his tanks and troop carriers not usa/ uk tank buster missiles proof. SO Ukraine from lightly armed and a month in is now armed to the teeth .. sort of! G7, Nato and EU all well solid in a wall of defiance.... now EU gas and oil agreement .. ESTONIA/LATVIA/LITHUANIA all rapidly beginning to adopt more wind power [ they basically have none! ] Rouble being so cheap he has said payments in Roubles only... ICC law makers/ investigators collecting info from both sides Ukraine whilst not so evil has the odd "case" RUSSIAN soldiers will they keep stum or point the finger ... my commanding officer told me to " shoot civilians/ aim at flats/ schools / hospitals/ etc etc etc. In the 50's my grandfather used to write to "letters" in the evening world [ post?] one such argument was go in and finish the ruskies off! ... now Ukraine must do something similar? Belarus soldiers apparently may have revolted?
ADS-B just watched 6 Belgium f16 and a couple of uk having some sparring practice over central Belgium / east coast UK. AFTER A LOAD OF Globemaster C17's and heavy air transports yesterday evening, no military aircraft seemingly monitoring or "spying" flights seen tonight, no strato tankers either usually 1 or 2 about! ..maybe all their beacons switched off! Loads of Helicopters [military ] flying though!
The air traffic in the area will vary from time to time and frankly I'm surprised that they still have their transponders on at all. Apparently April 1st is a big day as another 100,000 conscripts will be called up in a major attempt to boost their troops available and some pundits question whether the public may not be aware of this uptick in forced conscription? I'm sure Putin will lie about the reason behind this new mandate and perhaps some Russians may wake up to the fact that it's being done to replace some of the bodies coming back home for burial. I also think there is severe surveillance on the ships in the Sea of Azov and the Black sea because several ex-military people have said many attacks are launched from them so they don't have to travel over much Ukrainian soil. Some U.S. analysts have said that they will be immediately blown out of the water should Putin decide to use chemical weapons launched from anywhere and the latest buzz is that Russian troops in the Kiev area are being removed to facilitate an attack and not to be redeployed elsewhere. When this nightmare is finally over I hope that Ukraine stays much the same as it wants to be and that Russia will not be allowed to participate with the rest of the world even if that means that the general public suffer for the sins of Putin and his thuggery on innocent people.
