The systems are fixed have a 90° field of view & if anything like we have they will reach incredibly far, They don't cover Ukraine so any advantage for Ukraine is minimal at best.
Yes they can cover aircraft movement so technically true however the radars are pointed at the middle east & china.

Ukraine now getting the green light to use NATO missiles into Russian territory implies more of this can happen, want to stress I never said NATO weapons were used for these attacks.

Theoretical example
Ask yourself what the US would do if say A Russian proxy like Cuba had attacked it's Nuclear early warning systems in Florida?

We're lucky Russia hasn't done that yet but if this continues my prediction of a nuke being dropped in Ukraine will come true & after that what happens next is anyone's guess.

The mountains are calling & I must go.

What you are seeing how is the truth emerging on just how desperate straits Ukraine is now in.

Can I make the point that I've had to put up with rubbish from naysayers in this thread for years. Yet pretty much everything I was saying has come to pass.

After years of lies to us about Russia losing, Russia running out of ammo, Russian troops losing morale, Russia falling apart, Putin dying and all the rest of it.....Now we get the opposite and calls for everything to be put on the line for Ukraine.

Can we pause for a moment and take in the fact that no one....not one person will pay for lying about all this....All those talking heads on your telly talking b0llocks are more rewarded than punished.

Whereas the truth is now that it's so desperate that western politicians are green lighting attacks using NATO equipment into Russia itself.....something Russia has said will only escalate.

I don't have to say just how serious that could get.

Macron and others saying 'instructors' will be sent into Ukraine.....when anyone with brains knows that NATO has sent troops termed as mercenaries for years into this conflict and covered up their deaths.

This is why it's happening.

Ukraine only has roughly six months left as a military force and thus it requires more and more western involvement to stay afloat.

Russia on the other hand....with Chinese and others involvement (which has been happening covertly) has at least two to three years left before it gets difficult to continue.

This was never complicated....population size and military capacity.....We are literally ruled by morons.

Thanks. What puzzles me is why they would do this unless there was a military reason behind it? You wouldn’t to provoke a nuclear strike in response or waste resources on a target which brings no benefit.

Why the USA has given the green light for the use of its hardware inside Russia is puzzling. I hope it is very restricted and limited to specifics as the last thing we want is escalation. Makes no sense on the face of things.

Comparably to Missiles drones cost peanuts & require little intervention from humans, it really is as easy as pre programming a route, pushing a button and off it goes to its destination.

There is a monetary loss to Russia for these kind of strikes however these sites are far removed from the front line & its unlikely it will pull any resources from the war zone.

They attack these sites because they can, someone within the Ukrainian military has decided the FAFO sliding scale is favourable & its an extremely dangerous game to play.
Until very recently Drones are all they have & credit to the Ukrainians they're probably the world leader in Drone warfare at the moment.

This war has been escalating from the beginning.

The mountains are calling & I must go.

That we, and therefore NATO on our behalf, has an interest in ensuring Ukraine survives relatively intact is undoubtedly true but I cannot imagine them being unaware of stooge attempts or any other Ukranian tactics. Our intelligence is pretty good. I think there is a clear red line which both sides understand and neither want, or will, cross.

That’s not to suggest I am not worried. Mistakes can be made and I could be wrong.

Pressurising Ukraine not to do provocative things must surely be happening now? What is happening diplomatically behind the scenes we don’t know but hopefully something is underway.

Trump says that if elected he will insist upon peace negotiations....which probably means within the border that exists at that time.

He says that if the Ukraine refuse to negotiate a settlement he will end funding and if Russia refuse he will carry on funding them but at a higher military level.

This might have the effect that both sides throw everything into the battlefield before November upon the basis that a settlement then becomes inevitable.
