Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

[Bixby Snyder]

this is dumb
chernobyls meltdown was over 30 years ago, by now a big portion of the most active isotopes have decayed away, and the whole reactor has been buried under so much rubble, concrete, and neutralizing material that releasing more material from it is near impossible.

if you want to deliberately cause a radiation incident, you don't have to go digging up the leftovers of chernobyl, there's plenty of working nuclear plants around where you can get fresh material without subjecting yourself to a lethal dose of radiation in the process

I don't wanna be a dick but you clearly have no idea how fucking dangerous that site still is. Scientists still believe it has the capability to start a meltdown again, which would be just as bad if not worse than the 1986 incident. They didn't remove anything, they literally cooled it and then covered it up with shit -- which they later had to upgrade to even more protection to keep the 'isotopes have decayed away' from leaking out and causing even more issues. Even more recently, they have been talking about needing another multi-billion dollar project to cover the site.

It's not going to spontaneously blow up and I don't think anyone will sabotage the shit intentionally. It is however a very real threat, and as it doesn't have power at the moment, they got backup power but it does need special attention as the consequences are dire.

The only reason Russia is 'struggling' now is because they are trying to use a delicate touch. They want to keep as much infrastructure intact and kill as few civilians as possible, for a number of reasons. If they had carpet bombed the place into oblivion like the US in the Gulf it'd be a lot easier, but messy.

If Zelensky and the globohomo west keep trying to stalemate this the conclusion will still be a Russian victory, but with a shit ton more dead Ukraine citizens. Not that Zelensky or his puppet masters care, they're only White serfs.

Both sides are responsible for the casualties of war. The way you put it makes it seem like the Russians are the victims.

Everyone is a victim of war, even those that perpetrate it.

Very little interesting footage coming from the Rus telegrams and the Twitter accounts I browse as of now. Usually, what I find interesting are videos of large Russian movements (e.g. armies or convoys moving to a city), footage of civilian or military corpses (very concrete proof of casualties), or anything that looks like something out of a movie or vidya.

Seems like things are slowing down. Could be a sign that Russians have already taken lots of land or that Ukies pushed them back. Your choice.

They are slowing down. Letting supplies and logistics catch up. Plus alot of Russian units are tied down in sieges. Once sumy, mariupol and some of the other smaller cities start falling I expect offensive ops to pick back up.

He want NATO to go all in. there is no reason for a no fly zone, the russians are not bombing alot, they use other means of exploding people.

Why do I get the feeling that the VDV would be sighing a breath of relief if there was a no fly zone. And we have seen in Lybia what Nato understands from a No Fly Zone: bomb the shit out of the army you want gone.

i hear kreosan still has access.

but yes the biggest danger is groundwater leaking into the hole created by the molten ball of U.
its still subcritical but undergoing enough fission to be hot af and a sudden influx of water could provoke another steam explosion. the radioactive mist and debris could carry over 1000km on the wind before its too diluted to cause a fuss.

russkies got in there asap in case zelensky tried a false flag. he wont care, hes not even ukrainian and will fuck off to jewSA or israel

 

[Oxous]

Apparently (according to TASS) Putin is asking military prosecutors to “find and punish” individuals responsible for sending conscripts to Ukraine. Sounds like scapegoats are being set up to me.

Not to forget that the nuclear waste industry is set up around Chernobyl, this is probably why they are talking about the power loss being dangerous.
They might also still have fuel to cool from the other Chernobyl reactors, that were online until not too long ago.

However it is high time the EU offered an EU Army and that membership would come with the "EU Economy and Army" effectively replacing NATO as an option for European eastern countries so they get the economic membership advantages coupled with the might of a nuclear army. It has been floated many times and France and Germany are the primary drivers, they may get their wish in the coming few years.

No Fuck the EU and the Army it wants to build.

I still cannot find footage of Bukanka Chan driving across the border, this is the best I could find lol.

I think Youtube might be scrubbing footage or the uploaders don't put in the proper tags.

Sometimes I do get lucky with Youtube suggesting some random cctv raw feed of a road showing tanks passing by like the one a buddy showed me a week or two ago.

 

[Narcotics]

Weeks before all of this started, i read some articles that talked about how a russian invasion would be counterproductive at this season since the ice covering the roads would melt, making it all muddy and difficult for troops and specially vehicles like tanks to move around. Well it seems like it's going to happen in some weeks, this should have a significant impact on russia's mobility through the country, i expect that they will try crazier shit to gain and advance as much as they can before the ice starts to melt, rendering their movements slow and ther vehicles more vulnerable to attacks (this also applies to the ukies, they'll try to push as much ruskis out before they too get caught in the mud)

I don't know how many times everyone has to tell this guy no. I mean, I understand where he’s coming from. But it’s an illogical and dangerous situation. The risks outweigh the benefits. If you aren’t getting jets, you aren’t getting a NFZ. (unless they bend and fuck up everything)

How long until this is found out to be a lie?

uestion is what's going to happen once Kiev falls. Because I doubt Zelensky is going to capitulate and he'll just move the capital to some city in the west.

I'm thinking this as well. He is having Hitler level delusions that Steiner's counterattack will come soon. Wouldn't shock me if he is ranting in a bunker somewhere between PR stunts and begging on Twitter.

[The Ugly One]

The Russians have recently taken alot of land in the North roughly between Kiev and Kharkov. Alot of Ukrainian units were bypassed and left sitting in towns. I counted about nine pockets of Ukrainian Army units in the area on maps I've seen. There is a similar situation with pocketed troops in the east (maybe). They did a big advance all the way down to the area east of Kiev and it would be reasonable to expect a slowdown after.

The sites I've been depending on for maps are not updating right now. Which means either the russians are not moving or that there is bad news that sites like the NYT don't want to highlight. It could well be either.

The site liveuamap.com is trying as hard as they can to put a positive spin on things by limiting Russian controlled areas on their maps to just the roads they are advancing along and sort of assuming that anything even a tiny bit off those roads is under the control of the Ukrainian army. They used to be really good for Syria war maps, but now they are garbage.

The Russian strategy is risky in that they have put large numbers of Ukrainian Army soldiers in their own rear areas often seemingly contained only by roadblock positions. Its also hard to tell if their strategy is to clear up the pockets or just let the Ukrainian Army forces sit trapped in them.

Pretty common strategy in history tbh. Leave your enemy holed up in a city, march around him to the next objective. Sherman was fond of this strategy. Why get your guys killed when the other guy has no supply lines?

The last no-fly zone was in Libya. And that no-fly zone within days turned into an all-out air war on the Libyan army, a naval blockade of Libya and eventually the assassination of the Libyan President by drones.
The purpose of the no-fly zone calls is to escalate to a full military intervention through something that seems to the public like an ordinary step from past conflicts

Remember that dumbest senator who wanted a no fly over Syria? She immediately got shot down by the brass because that would start a war with Russia and Syria. I have a feeling that is what's happening here, Zelensky is just too retarded to realize no country wants to actually send forces over.

Russia learned from the Chechen Wars. Ukraine is lucky they actually want the infrastructure intact otherwise Groznygrad would be everywhere.

VDV.

 

[Wash away the rain]

VDV.

You think the VDV did something to personally piss off who ever is In charge or their drops of is their commander just said fuck it we will do it live send in the conscripts?

Draw them in to pockets and clear them out after moving the civs out of the cities to safe zones the people I listen to are saying. Whether that will work…who knows.

Draw them in to pockets and clear them out after moving the cigs out of the cities to safe zones the people I listen to are saying. Whether that will work…who knows.

I agree. Slavs will do anything to protect cigs and booze.

Through coming to Russia to deal with the Nazis
Actually Russia isn't losing the war the ukrainians are
They're actually trying to not kill civilians that's why they're losing
It's actually NATO fault that Putin is invading a sovereign country

Russia and actually retreating from Ukraine the Jess tactically repositioning
This is going to be the Russian Scheels the coming weeks
