Transfer of Western aircraft to Ukraine. Actual situation:

🔺️ Defence Minister Reznikov has expressed hope that the West will make a commitment to supply aircraft as soon as possible in the coming weeks;

🔺️ According to Yuriy Ignat, spokesman of the AFU, Ukraine needs at least 180 aircraft to ensure the country's security, and the training of pilots for the F-16s itself will take about six months;

🔺️ At the same time, the US handed over 1/4 of all promised aid for 2023 in January alone. But still huge quantities of ammunition and armoured vehicles are needed, there may simply be no resources left for aircraft.

Question

1) Why can't Russia use it various stealthy aircrafts to destroy Ukraine's air defenses?
2) why can't Russia build unmanned AWACs aircrafts that can conduct 24/7 surveillance of the territory of both Russia and Ukraine?
3) How is it Ukraine still fly fighter jets from airfields?
4) What is the possibility of Russia creating a no fly zone and blockade the entire territory of Ukraine?
Does Russia have the capability to monitor the troops and equipment movement in the entire frontline if not the entire country?
5) How is it that Ukraine informs the entire country of launched of kamikaze drones (Geran-2) from the point of departure to the expected point of arrival but the opposite is with Russia?

Answer

1) There is no perfect stealth aircraft. All NATO machinery is flying around in neighboring states sending data to Ukraine. Air Defence is being suppressed but they are carefully hiding them.

2) I'm not sure if are you aware of the size of the possible area of surveillance

3) They don't fly from airfields mostly but from regular roads (Soviet tactics in case of airfield destruction )

4) No. As long as there are NATO surveillance planes in the air and AA defense is destroyed. Also, Russia is saving its aircraft power, just in case. No country has that capability. Otherwise, Afganistan would be finished quite soon in USA intervention.

5) They have it from NATO planes. And they have no points of departure for Geranium drones but they see them in the air.

Question

What's the chance of conflict escalation in the form of naval blockade, and what scenarios are possible? Thanks for opportunity for ask questions.


Answer

Well, we already saw a similar attempt by Baltic Tiger to close the roads toward Kaliningrad. They gave up on the idea fast. If Tigers alone or with help try to do a similar thing again, a naval blockade, that is equal to a declaration of war. Russia will not allow another Leningrad. So, armed convoys are a must in that case. If attacked...So, if stupid, go ahead.

SAVIOUR OF THE DROWNING ONES

"I have seen such cases in Western Ukraine. An acquaintance who evacuated from Kharkov, she went there because her house was bombed. She took her children and left on an express train, without food.
She arrived in Western Ukraine. She came to the market and said: "Can I have some cottage cheese?" She doesn't speak Ukrainian. They shouted at her, a crowd gathered and said to her: - You're a Muscovite, you're the reason there's a war, etc. 
She did not argue, she said: I'm sorry I don't speak Ukrainian. I need to feed my child, he hasn't eaten for two days, he is screaming and is hoarse already." And she was answered: "Not from us."
And what are the chances for such Ukraine?"

Since the popularity of Zelensky's team is creeping down, but the elections are required by US because democracy has to be depicted, I can't stop admiring how technically they mould Arestovich into the 'opposition leader' and the protector of the interests of the slightly less than 100% deceived Russian-speaking population of 'Ukraine'. And they will bite...

Question

If Ukraine were to sign an unconditional surrender now, what kind of demands would Russia impose on Ukraine?
In other words, what would be the perfect outcome for the Russians from this conflict?

Answer

If unconditional surrender is signed, Ukraine is Russia, with a military governor in the beginning. Processing of nazis and their collaborators, processing war criminals, dismantling the previous, and establishing a new ruling apparatus (with already existing people who are not compromised or at least much). Basically. East Germany.
But have no illusion. Russia demands returning to the situation from 1991. This game is much bigger and In the long run then many understand.

⚡️Video⚡️Catch grenade, fascist⚡️

The 100th Brigade of the DNR operating in the Nevelsk direction does not allow the enemy to relax by dropping explosive gifts on the heads of gaping militants.

A UAV crew visits Ukrainian positions with enviable regularity, reminding them that they will not remain Ukrainian for long.

Another Ukrainian pilot, the commander of an aviation squadron of the 299th Tactical Aviation Brigade of the Ukrainian Air Force, Major Daniil Murashko, has been killed. The Su-25 attack aircraft led by Murashko was shot down by "friendly fire" on 27 January near Kramatorsk.

This is how the bridge across the Molochnaya River in the Zaporozhye village of Svetlodolinskoye looks like. The Ukrainian Armed Forces shelled this bridge today. 

The attacks were carried out during repair work, as a result of which four people died and five were injured. The HIMARS MLRS was used for the attack; one projectile was intercepted, but the rest reached their goal.

Opytne, Vodyane, the western side of Avdeevka.

After striking enemy positions, UAV operators from the 1st Separate Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade noticed one of the wounded enemy soldiers trying to keep himself alive.

No one ever came for him.

Another reason for all the Ukrainian military is to consider whether they are fighting on the right side.

Russian forces tightened the noose around this beleaguered city in eastern Ukraine, while Kyiv urged the West to provide longer-range firepower to counter Russia’s missile barrages.

Ukrainian troops here described mounting difficulties in stopping the Russian advances around Bakhmut, the site of this winter’s heaviest fighting in the 11-month-old war.
