Double blow for Putin as Ukraine kills another of his colonels in 'pinpoint' missile attack in Kherson and 'eliminates top Wagner commander' in Donbas
Two more senior Russian military and intelligence figures have been killed, bringing yet more woe to Vladimir Putin as Ukraine's armed forces drive deeper into the eastern Donbas region to liberate more occupied territory. The first, Aleksei Nagin, was a highly respected commander in the infamous PMC Wagner Group - a private army headed by close Putin ally Yevgeny Prigozhin - which has been instrumental in supporting Russia's invasion. Nagin, a three-time Order of Courage recipient, was killed on September 20 as Ukrainian troops advanced further into the Donetsk and repelled Russian forces. Meanwhile in the southern Kherson region, Colonel Aleksei Katerinichev - a career FSB secret service officer and deputy head of Russia's occupying forces in Kherson - was hit in a 'pinpoint' strike by a HIMARS missile today, according to a Russian news agency report. Katerinichev was a veteran of more than 20 counter-terrorist operations and a key architect of Russian operations in southern Ukraine. The deaths of such esteemed military personnel just 10 days apart underscores the frailty of Putin's 'military operation', even as the warmongering Russian president today signed agreements formally incorporating the Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions into the Russian Federation. Zaporizhzhia and Kherson are only partially controlled by Russia, while Putin's troops in the key city of Lyman in the northern Donetsk have been almost completely surrounded by Ukrainian forces in the latest counter-offensive.

Can you elaborate on what the rules of the road are for NATO supplied weapons? Seems like russia proper is off limits, but i am not sure by whom and to what degree.

Exactly. Might as well have some fun with it. What’s the quote? “Go hide in a hole if you like, you won’t live one instant longer “? This shit weasel in the kremlin could end this now. Hell, he could have never started it to begin with. Whatever happens is on HIM. Squealing that we can’t take steps on dealing with the situation, seeing as this is what...the 4th time they’ve tried stealing land and invading foreign countries in the last 14 years, has gotten us exactly where we are at this point |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DouglasQuaid: I bet a big part of it is a failure of maintenance and repair ability. The Russians (and Soviets previously) have always skimped on maintenance. Combat aircraft are complex machines that require a high level of maintenance, skill, and expense. This is probably failing Russia now. It doesn't help that much of the spare parts have input materials from the West, which are not unavailable due to sanctions. I'd bet that the deployable aircraft they have, most importantly the multirole (SU-30/34) are unavailable due to maintenance/battle damage issues. They have to keep some in reserve of course for any other threat that may emerge. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DouglasQuaid: Originally Posted By Capta: I think the performance of the Russian Air Force is one of the most interesting mysteries of the war. So far as we can tell, it basically disappeared for large swaths of the war. Why? Now that it has become more active it appears to be suffering significant and verifiable losses. Issues that I can come up with: Spare parts shortage: Pilot shortage/pilot morale. The issue of Wagner pilots is an interesting unanswered question. They appear to be of very questionable quality, so what made it necessary to hire merc pilots? Is the pilot shortage really that bad? Ground crew shortage and/or incompetence Consumables shortage (i.e. flares/chaff) PGM shortage leading to unacceptable loss rates Inadequate air/ground communications/tactics causing red on red issues Successful (but unknown) Ukrainian tactics/capabilities. The series of separately released videos last week where two SUs and a KA were shot down may be related. I strongly suspect that such shootdowns are not random defensive action but deliberate flak traps. The best proof of that is probably the video from several months ago where three Russian helis were shot down But the UA appears to edit/break up most such videos to prevent anyone getting a really good idea of what happened beyond confirmation of a shootdown, which is absolutely the right thing to do. NASMS and IRIS-T are likely to bring a new level of pain to the Russian AF. I bet a big part of it is a failure of maintenance and repair ability.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Bizzarolibe: I'm consistently bewildered at the lack of concern many of the "expurts" in the west express regarding possible NBC usage by Russia. It strikes me as dangerously naive. These are the same "expurts" who said Russia would never invade. They're the same "expurts" who said Russia would never announce mobilization. If Putin and his regime remain in power and NATO continues on its current course, Russia will deploy an NBC in some capacity. Am I suggesting we stop arming UKR? Hell fucking no. Fuck Russia. But we need to be actively planning with the assumption that Russia will use a WMD in the near future if the course of events is not altered. I'm not saying anyone needs to shit their pants; they just need to assume Russia will do what they say they're going to do and plan accordingly. Have you considered that you may be over stressing on the whole nuke thing? |
