Quote HistoryQuoted: Heard they were avoiding German airspace. Why would they do that? The Germans and Brits came out and said the Germans had NOT forbidden overflights. Brit sources said possibly weather/winds aloft. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: watched some videos in the past of the fighting. watched some recently about new troops training. Were kind of a militia patrol or something like that. A stopgap between the army and partisans or a hybrid of them. Most said they purchased their own guns to fight. That’s getting pretty real. Cool thread OP, thanks for posting. |

It amazes me that the start to such a major conflict can even be hidden from the population with the tech we have these days. OP, please keep this thread alive! |

I don't think Russia will invade. Ukraine in 2014 couldn't even muster an active duty brigade for combat ops and Russia basically took Crimea with very little organized opposition. A lot of the combat was done with the equivalent of militia. Now the Ukraine has the 3rd largest European military (behind Russia and France). I think Putin wants to force concessions with sabre rattling, but an actual war with a near peer with Western support would be quite costly for Russia.

I don't know if its real, but it isn't the first thing I've seen about how close they are. I mean the lines are pretty well established and they've been hunkered there awhile. Doubt its much of a secret. |
