Ukraine - Russia Conflict

This would have been a big deal if Russia would have accomplished their mission in Ukraine without the heavy losses or if no war would have taken place but since Russia's conventional army is a shadow of its former self this Kosovo bruhaha is a nothingburger.

Same if Armenia and Azerbaijan really went to war against each other. Right now Russia wouldn't be able to do anything if Azerbaijan decided to take Armenian land.
It's of zero value to Russia because it's land-locked.

Another attack on Kyiv foiled.

 
Don't know what to make of this. I still see drones dropping grenades on Russian troops and I see GPS-jamming EW stations getting hit by GPS guided artillery.
In any case, the drones that are destroyed are consumable drones; they fly an average of 4 or 5 missions before being destroyed, but they are low-cost.

Yeah, they put a several million dollar EW vehicle out there to jam some disposable drones and then it gets hit with an Excalibur round.

I doubt this has anything to do with Russia. It's just one of Europe's chickens coming home to roost.

But there's a tendency of such situations building up to explode at a later date. Like the Ukraine war has been brewing for the last 20 years.

The current protest is a form of colour revolution, they are protesting an election.

What's interesting is the US is supporting the protesters rather than Kosovo. So they understand what's at stake here.
 
It would be kind of funny if the Taliban were supplied with drones, given how Iran like supplying drones to Russia.

Well if Russia wasn't bogged down in Ukraine Russia would be very involved in this. If worse case scenario happens and all out conflict breaks out it's not going to be a big deal like it was during the 90's. All eyes will still be in Ukraine because that is the conflict that will cause WW3 in the near future.

An Armenian Azerbaijan war would be more dangerous than a Serb/Kosovo all out war. Armenian-Azerbaijan war would likely get Turkey and Iran involved sucking in Israel.

The current situation can be resolved politically 'cause the West is clamping down on Kosovo.

Ukraine won't be allowed to join NATO, so it's not a flashpoint for WW3. Plus any membership will not include taking back lost territories. And if they persist, then they won't be allowed in. Russia isn't interested in taking all of Ukraine, so whatever's left can join NATO, but any future hostilities over lost territories won't trigger Article 5 due to the disputed nature of the land. There's potential for the war never ending, even if there's no action on the ground, thereby almost permanently preventing their entry into NATO.

The Baltic states have that potential though, but I find it highly unlikely. In fact, it could even result in a collapse of NATO, with Western Europe backing out. No one in Western Europe will want war over the Baltics when the ideal option is to directly deal with the insurgency with the help of paramilitary forces, no matter how long it takes. The Baltics isn't easy for NATO to defend.

An Armenian Azerbaijan war would be more dangerous than a Serb/Kosovo all out war. Armenian-Azerbaijan war would likely get Turkey and Iran involved sucking in Israel.

Armenia is willing to give up Nagorno-Karabakh, so that chapter is over. And Armenia is currently part of CSTO, so it's unlikely for the two countries to fight. Otoh, any hostilities between Iran and Azerbaijan could result in a proxy war between Russia/China and the West. Neither Turkey, Israel nor Russia want to fight each other anyway.

Ukraine war is going to escalate. We're near that point as Ukraine is about to launch its offensive Russian lines are likely going to collapse just like Kharkiv and eventually Kherson only this time Ukraine is better trained and equipped and Russian troops currently holding the line are not. This will be thee battle where Russia is going to need to make a decision as Ukraine will likely get near pre Feb, 2022 lines.

NATO aint collapsing thanks to Russia and nobody is really going to care about another Serb Kosovo conflict that is not thee possible conflict to keep an eye on.

Azerbaijan is Turkeys puppet and Turkey as always wanted a Turk-passage leading to Caspien Sea and Turkmenistan and the other Stans that are Turk-centric.

Some highlights from report:
On Efficacy of Russian EW systems:-
"Russian electronic warfare (EW) remains potent, with an approximate distribution of at least one major system covering each 10 km of front. These systems are heavily weighted towards the defeat of UAVs and tend not to try and deconflict their effects. Ukrainian UAV losses remain at approximately 10,000 per month."
On Russian IADS:-
"Russian air defences have also seen a significant increase in their effectiveness now that they are set up around known, and fairly static, locations and are properly connected. Although Russia has persistently struggled to respond to emerging threats, over time it has adapted. Russian air defences are now assessed by the Ukrainian military to be intercepting a proportion of GMLRS strikes as Russian point defences are directly connected to superior radar."
@randomradio @Rajput Lion How good is our Ground based EW systems?
Samyukta was in no way or form inferior to Kolchuga or Krasukha. Himshakti is as good as it gets. In one word "formidable".

NATO lost Bakhmut brah...keep on crying. Soon entire Ukranian army is going to collapse trying their retarted counter offensive. You guys have awaken a sleeping giant in Russia. Now watch the consequences;)
 
There are numerous reports that the Russians have significantly upgraded the Iranian-designed drones (Shahed-136) with more powerful engines (so that they fly considerably faster), larger warheads, and more importantly, they are now no longer pre-programmed, but can be dynamically controlled (via satellites) to evade air defenses, switch to new targets, and hit those targets with unprecedented precision.


Also many successful bombing by Ukraine , inflicting significant damage on Russia in last two weeks as per many reports . Storm shadow has been quiet successful .
