If the burst is 30 kilometers or higher it’s an air burst and there would be no fallout and it will actually do more damage than an ground burst. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Occult It is not going to stop what is going on unless Russia cedes this conflict and move out of the Ukraine. At this point the harder he pushes the more resistance he will have on the home front so will need a sizeable force just to enforce whatever war measures he dictates. I expect to see a lot of surrenders and self inflicted wounds. Given performance in the last 6 months has been shown that they cannot deliver sufficient supplies to their men in the field and it is winter coming , and going up against a better trained and armed force. All he can do is show his people how many of them he is willing to waste along with their resources. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkHunter Posted September 25, 2022 #13857 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Russian war correspondents are saying the Russian military is pulling out of Lyman before the Ukranian military can surround Lyman. Would be better for the Ukranian military to surround and remove the Russian units but losing Lyman will significantly hurt the Russian defensive line for the rest of Lunetsk oblast. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spartan max2 Posted September 25, 2022 #13859 Share Posted September 25, 2022 (edited) Zeleknsy says Russians who surrender who do not want to return to Russia will not have to. Quote Appealing directly to Russians during an address, Zelensky said Ukraine could guarantee three terms to Russian soldiers in exchange for their surrender. He said such Russians will be treated in a civilized manner, the circumstances of their surrender will remain undisclosed and Ukraine will find a way to ensure those who do not want to return to Russia are not exchanged https://thehill.com/policy/international/3659802-zelensky-offers-guarantees-for-russian-soldiers-who-surrender/ Edited September 25, 2022 by spartan max2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where else are they going to go? Their families are in Russia. Are they suppose to just go start a new life in some other Baltic state?

Well, after watching their wounded comrades get shot by their commander, they'll probably run like rabbits first chance they get straight to the Ukraine forces. By the way, there is no going back to russia. Either die in the war, or die when you get back to russia. Hmmm, Ukraine looks a lot more attractive than those choices. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose their families could be allowed to enter the Ukraine at some point, anyway it’s better than dying. I know they will face many obstacles but, who knows only time will tell. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plane tickets leaving Russia sold out from people trying to flee the draft. I don't think it's unreasonable to think there are conscripts who may not want to fight or go back to Russia. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Occult1 Posted September 25, 2022 #13866 Share Posted September 25, 2022 (edited) Russia’s allies China and India call for negotiations to end Ukraine war China and India have called for a negotiated end to the Ukraine war, stopping short of robust support for traditional ally Russia. After a week of pressure at the United Nations general assembly, Russia’s foreign minister took the general assembly rostrum to deliver a fiery rebuke to western nations for what he termed a “grotesque” campaign against Russians. [...] “China supports all efforts conducive to the peaceful resolution of the Ukraine crisis. The pressing priority is to facilitate talks for peace,” Wang said on Saturday. “The fundamental solution is to address the legitimate security concerns of all parties and build a balanced, effective and sustainable security architecture.” https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/sep/24/russias-allies-china-and-india-call-for-negotiations-to-end-ukraine-war Seems reasonable.

Sometimes I wonder whether Roosevelt decision was mistake, or not... russkys already have problems in logistics, and 155 caliber howitzers don't care whether it will strike 10 or 30 russkys. Ukrainians already have shown they are not like Afghans, and lend-lease haven't started yet. I hope western nations will flood Ukraine with weapons to pummel russky forces to the ground. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wars, old friend, are not confined to the battlefield. They also are fought in the minds of citizens. and the economy of the nation. Even before the call up, roughly 300000 young, talented Russians left Russia for the foreseeable future. Some of these are wealthy, many are high tech employees with marketable skills in the West. Its a brain drain that is ongoing. Now a second wave of military age men are waiting in long lines at borders. Protests all across Russia are mounting. The economy of Russia is also slowing down, and the bite will be felt this winter. Russia might not be able to sustain an army in the field. For Putin, the war is lost already though many on both sides will continue to die before that becomes obvious. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
