Ukraine shoots down transport plane carrying '150 Russian paratroopers' trying to storm Kyiv as Putin launches full-scale assault on capital: Zelensky says nation's fate will be decided TONIGHT
Ukraine's armed forces said on Friday night that they had shot down a Russian military transport plane carrying 150 paratroopers on the outskirts of Kyiv. The plane came down near Vasylkiv, 20 miles south of Kyiv, the Ukrainian military said. The fate of those onboard was unclear. The aircrafts - medium-range military transport aircraft, which first went into service in 1974 - can hold 150-225 fully-equipped soldiers, and is used to drop paratroopers into combat and resupply arms. The news came shortly after Ukraine's president warned that the Russians intend to take Kyiv overnight, urging his countrymen to resist the expected onslaught as Western officials say the city appears surrounded. Volodymyr Zelensky, addressing the nation from a secret location in the capital, had a dire warning for his embattled and defiant people on Friday night. 'Russia will try to break our resistance with all its might,' he said, in a video posted to social media. 'Tonight the enemy will begin storming us. We need to withstand them!' More |

I know we’re not getting troop movement info anymore. But I would love to know where the majority are now. The call up of NATO, makes me wonder what exactly the other 120K troops are doing.

"In November 2008, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates stated that the F-22 was not relevant in post-Cold War conflicts..."
This was Obama's guy, and stupid like his boss. If the US had procured near the original target amount, or to the first reduced amount of around 650 or so, the air force could easily establish a no fly zone over Ukraine airspace. This invasion would have been stopped before it started. |

Fact of life. They're killing a lot more Russians than Russia anticipated though, which is good. There may be a chance that Ukraine can stalemate Russia. If they can show that they are capable of preventing a Russian "victory" (whatever that looks like), then they have a chance to get more NATO help and a "diplomatic" solution. If Russia had been cut off from SWIFT immediately and weapons airlifted/trucked in huge quantities, there would have been zero likelihood of a Russian victory. As it is, there may be a negotiated settlement. Russia isn't getting what they wanted out of this. Ever. So, the only real question is what are they willing to settle for. |

I don't think the Ukrainians can hold out much longer without air support. Russia will encircle Kiev, bring in artillery, and it will be game over for the UKR military and government. I think that's pretty much inevitable.
What I don't understand is what Putin thinks the end game is. Defeating the UKR army is one thing. Holding the ground for any length of time is another. It'll shift to a low level insurgency and every day the Russians stay they will bleed. For how long? And then what? Maybe he is ok with it becoming a failed state so long as it doesn't become NATO? |

At this point I'll wait for actual reports when results are somewhat clear and evidenced. "They're hiding the bodies" and "We shot it down but there's no wreckage" sounds a little nutty. |

If the invasion is fumbled, Putin will be killed, plain and simple. He is in such a bubble, and he reportedly had health issues, who knows what his state of mind is. It's not like he has advisors who can override him. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By treasurediver: There was a guy in my hometown who was in Hungary when the Russians invaded. He claims he was up a few floors in a building when a Russian tank pulled up next to the building and stopped. One of the crew popped open a hatch to get a better look around and he dropped a Molotov down on it. He claims none of the crew made it out. Apparently they are pretty effective, especially when hatches are open. I have a US manual from the 80s that recommends molotovs in such situations. (Firing small arms at sensors is discussed also). And, Russia is basically using some tanks from that era, with upgrades bolted on, so there's that. |
