Russia may at any time submit to the attack hundreds of aircraft. Photo alexshakun |
The pictures were taken in the summer and autumn of 2014 and the recently published updated on satellite maps from Google.
So, at airbases from Kursk to Taganrog are more than fifty of the MiG-29 squadrons latest Sukhoi Su-34, Su-25 attack helicopters Mi-28.
This allows the Kremlin to order the air strikes in Ukrainian cities of Kiev, Chernigov and Sumy to Nikolaev and Kherson, while he strike can be delivered within a few hours after the order.
So, from the farthest airbase to the Ukrainian border about 250 kilometers, or about 15-20 minutes of flight, and some air bases because of the huge number of aircraft, vehicles are packed literally right next to each other.
It is necessary to specify that all images posted on the Google maps were all taken when Russia began to actively concentrate impact forces on the border with Ukraine. But, as has been stated in the National Security Council, the withdrawal of regular units of the Russian army not only has not occurred, but a concentration of additional forces was recorded.

At 90 kilometers from the border and 130 km from Sumy, Kursk Russian Air Force Base is located Kursk East. At the airbase based 14th Guards Fighter Wing, which is armed with the modernized MiG-29 SMT.
In the picture you can count about three dozen fighters, as well as to observe the activity of military transport aircraft of Russia.

Borisoglebsk Air Base
The farthest airbase, it is located 350 kilometers from Lugansk and 250 kilometers from the border.
Formally, it is the preparation of the Faculty of attack and bomber aircraft Krasnodar Higher Military Aviation School. So, at the airport, you can see about three dozen combat training aircraft Yak-130.
But at the airbase based two dozen Su-25, which are designed to destroy ground targets and air support to ground units.

Airbase Rostov-on-Don
In Rostov-on-Don at the airport "Central" fixed concentration of combat helicopters Mi-28, Mi-24, as well as military transport Mi-8 and Mi-26.
It is necessary to specify that in Rostov-on-Don is the production capacity Mil, but the plant has its own airfield.

Airbase Millerovo
The air base is located in close proximity to the border with Ukraine and the fighting line. So, from Millerovo to the border about 20 miles away, and Luhansk - 50.
At the airport in the pictures can be seen in June about three dozen MiG-29 fighters and six Su-27, as well as one new Mi-28.
At the same time the National Security Council formally confirmed the relocation to the base and interceptor MiG-31, which is the day before the National Security Council briefing of which podrobnosti.ua wrote.

Airbase Taganrog
Russian Air Force combat aircraft began to actively use the air base in Taganrog, which is located 100 kilometers from Mariupol. A military expert Dmitry Tymchuk told about it on November 11th.
It is worth noting that in Taganrog on another airbase based ASW aircraft Russian aircraft Tu-142, as well as airborne reconnaissance aircraft A-50.
A-50 - the aircraft airborne reconnaissance, which is able to monitor all the airspace within a radius of 650 kilometers for the purpose of the type of bomber and 300 kilometers for the purpose of type fighter. These aircraft are used not only as a flying radar, but also as command centers, air group guides for specific purposes.

Thus, Russia is not only concentrated major air forces around Ukraine, but also of the latest pulled their weapons very close to the border.
And as reported by the National Security Council, the Russian military moved into full combat readiness in the Donbas.
If you want to be on this right wing, monarchy, paleolibertarianism and nationalism ping list, but are not, please let me know. If you are on it and want to be off, also let me know. This ping list is not used for Catholic-Protestant debates.
let us not forget that Belorussia and Transnistria and such are also willing to base the Russians
If Russia invaded Ukraine, is it our business? After all we have troops in 22 countries world wide in combat roles. Who are we to judge? We are more guilty
So what were they thinking when they handed over their nukes and laid themselves at the tender mercies of Obama,EU and NATO. Envision whirled peas!!!
This is current events and I think when a major world power is preparing for an invasion while fomenting a civil war in a European country, that is newsworthy. Whose business it is I don’t know but we belong to NATO and there are several NATO members in the region that consider themselves threatened.
Besides, we are what we are, but last spring Russia revealed a side of itself that everyone thought was buried together with the rubble of the Berlin Wall. The transformation of Russia into a dinosaur from the Soviet days is also newsworthy.
Looks like someone has been moving dirt at the military airbase at Sevestapol, and there are several other disused airbases in the Crimea that could be brought back online with a little work.
Well, there was no Obama then. Obama is our own national disaster no one could predict.
I agree: the breakup of the Soviet Union was handled pretty badly by Bush Sr. Remember the Chicken Kiev speech? That chicken has come home to roost, Mr. President.
Since when do we invade European countries filled with Christians and go about raping and pillaging and annexing chunks of it?
Obama Bush What’s the difference? Were talking about a post-apogee super-power in decline that completely reverses foreign policy every other election. Not terribly reliable ally. I would’a kept my nukes.
Reagan may be dead but the survival of the free world from Russian invasion and European empire still matters.
The difference is still colossal. I am no Bush Sr. fan, chiefly for how he allowed the Cold War (and the first war in Iraq) to end in an undefined state. However, with Bush we had a leader who could communicate to the world what America will do, won’t do and is doing. With Obama we have a complete failure of leadership. Our foreign policy changes these days not from election to election, — that wouldn’t be half bad after all, — it changes under Obama one violent event to the next and one diplomatic failure to the next, like a ball going through a pinball machine. With Obama we have someone with vague hard-left and anti-American worldview trying to apply his pseudo-knowledge from Yale to the real world, getting beat by reality and trying again and getting beat again, and feeling great about himself and his golf nonetheless. He is a comical figure and the rest of the world simply stopped taking him seriously.
We are not a superpower in decline; we are a superpower with oversize hubris that thinks it can elect someone who never had a job to presidency and survive it.
Let’s talk January 20, 2017.
~Satellite images of the Russian Air Force air bases, which are adjacent to areas of Ukraine, showed a huge number of strike aircraft.~
Something doesn’t computes here:
~In the picture you can count about three dozen fighters, as well as to observe the activity of military transport aircraft of Russia.~
~Total Airbase can count about two dozen Su-34, as well as a dozen Sukhoi Su-24.~
~So, at the airport, you can see about three dozen combat training aircraft Yak-130.~
~But at the airbase based two dozen Su-25, which are designed to destroy ground targets and air support to ground units.~
~At the airport in the pictures can be seen in June about three dozen MiG-29 fighters and six Su-27, as well as one new Mi-28.~
They have counted 30 trainers, 66 interceptors, 50 fighter-bombers and one attack copter in the whole Western Russia and call it a build up and another Desert Storm in a making.
These Ukrainian propagandists are really busy to distract their populace from a disaster which their current government is.
And make what bets in the interim?
I merely commented how the worst Republican president in recent history is still a genuine leader, and the hope and change clown is for laughs.
As to 2016 elections, I make no prediction. It is possible that Hillary wins; it is possible that some other dark horse who barely finished school wins; it is possible that a Republican milquetoast wins; it is possible that someone with a spine wins. I am not of the opinion that the democratic process is working any more, and the cabal of journalists and bankers decide who to make president and what wars to fight when.
The only chance for peace maybe to divide it along those lines.
The article opens with
более полусотни истребителей МиГ-29, эскадрильи новейших фронтовых бомбардировщиков Су-34, штурмовики Су-25, ударные вертолеты Ми-28at airbases from Kursk to Taganrog are more than fifty of the MiG-29 squadrons latest Sukhoi Su-34, Su-25 attack helicopters Mi-28
Th Google translation is approximate. Should be
more than fifty MiG-29, squadrons of the latest Sukhoi Su-34 frontline bombers, strikers Su-25, and attack helicopters Mi-28You think that is not supported by the pictures or you don't think the increase indicates an aggressive posture, or you don't think there was an increase?
What does "lean" mean?
By any objective measure even in Donetsk-Luhansk enclave there is no "leaning" of any kind other than for unified Ukraine. The bandits want "Donetsk People's Republic", not Russian annexation. The 1991 referendum vote was overwhelmingly for independence even in these regions.
No "leaning" of any kind can be determined other than through a plebiscite free from bandits and Russian "green men". When the bandits are in jail and Crimea is returned, such plebiscite would be a good idea indeed.
Also, if you want to sound like you know something, please realize that "Western Ukraine" has a meaning in the science of geography that the maker of your map was unaware of.
See? When you put it like that it reminds me of an expression from Marxism, namely the Law of Contradictions. It’s similar to the rule of diminishing returns, basically death spiral. Where the fundamental rules of society like democracy and the markets turn against themselves. In classic Marxism it undermines then ultimately destroys the state bringing about the ‘Dictatorship of the Proletariat’. Exhibit A:
it is possible that some other dark horse who barely finished school wins; it is possible that a Republican milquetoast wins; it is possible that someone with a spine wins. I am not of the opinion that the democratic process is working any more, and the cabal of journalists and bankers decide who to make president and what wars to fight when.
Then there’s the ‘Cult of Personality’
The contradiction between free market (where individual purchases the products he needs) and democracy (where individual cannot purchase the government service that he needs) is indeed the driving contradiction of modern Western societies. In the short term it will lead to an ungovernable society. In the longer term it will bring a modern version of the medieval society where we shall trade loyalty for protection on the open market of security and insurance services. That is what I think, anyway.
