The Russians have been shelling that NPP, not the as sources in this article.

What are your sources?

[PIF]

Why you could even see images of the shelling on line as well as Orc comments about it and, even daringly, ask the International Atomic Energy Agency, but that work might strain the brain.

[PIF]

The last hit came from the Odessa Oblast. Likely this hit did also - shorter distance.

The penalty for expansion by invasion should be loss of territory. Get them off that peninsula and out of Kalingrad as well.
Kalingrad will just be the next excuse to create links to russian majorities.

The first order of business appears to be removing the Russian "peace keepers" from Transnistria. This may occur as part of a reunion of Moldova with Romania, which would get Moldova into the E.U. One scenario is that Moldova reclaims the West bank of the Dniester River, which is very small, and cedes the East bank to Ukraine.

Having started the game of recognizing parts of other countries as autonomous states, the West can do that to Russia in Kaliningrad should Russia fall into political unrest as it did during and after WWI. When the Soviet Union collapsed, the U.S. was concerned about control by one authority of Soviet nuclear weapons. Since Kaliningrad is a major concern to NATO, that won't be a concern. Also, people in Kaliningrad pay higher taxes, and also were able to travel more freely to shop in the E.U. Europe also has problems with the Russians in Kaliningrad dumping raw sewage into the Baltic. Independence for Kaliningrad could end that environmental disaster.

A major upgrade in Crimea air defenses is under way.

This thread has been brought to you by George Soros.

And you are supported by Henry Kissinger and Noam Chomsky. Congrats!

LOL. The Putinas are too dim to notice that the Soros EU is in fact financing Russia’s war and are just fine with Putin turning Ukraine into a parking lot. Because they are two “globalist” peas in pod.

Newsweak ? Weak. But I’ll keep exposing you Sorosbot globalist warmongering assclowns. You keep squealing like stuck pigs.

[fieldmarshaldj]

More lies from the Sorosbots.

[marcusmaximus]

Breaking: Ukraine also just hit the Russian SU-25 airbase in Crimea at Hvardiiske near Simferopol.

Newsweak ? Weak. But I’ll keep exposing you Sorosbot globalist warmongering assclowns. You keep squealing like stuck pigs.

How about countries that support you're pro-Russian position: Belarus, Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Kyrgyzstan, Syria, Eritrea and Iran. Nice company! Keep pushing the pro-Russian BS!

[PIF]

That has to be the work, like all the rest of the hits in the Crimea, of the Ukarine Thunder-2 SRBM.

Lets see how well this new Rooooskie system works against Ukrainian missiles. We will not know until it is tested. Against a barrage of 10 HIMNARS, at least 5 HIMNARS will get through. The world will be boycotting sales of Russian military equipment. They have mostly been ineffective in the real world of the invasion of Ukraine. I think it will fail against fast cruise missiles too.

“Ukies hit the Russian SU-25 airbase in Crimea”

Showing once again that Crimea is vulnerable. More egg on their faces for pathetic Rus military. Giving me a great start to my day.

[marcusmaximus]

It’s a Two-fer Tuesday!

[kiryandil]

The Russians will begin shelling Moscow next week.

Taganrog AFB is way way out of range for HIMARS artillery shells. Only ATACMS shells have that sort of range and none are bring supplied.

The usual tactic is to overwhelm the areas air defenses with MLRS rockets and shoot shells when the AD has to reload. None of the Crimea hits have been within HIMARS maximum range which is 57 miles, without ATACMS rockets (while are ~US$1M rocket per TEL).

“The Russians will begin shelling Moscow next week.”

Possibly, the Russian citizens will with a coup d’état or revolution

[fieldmarshaldj]

More Sorosbot misdirection.

When are you leaving to fight in Ukraine ?

When are you leaving to fight in Ukraine ?

When you move to Russia.
