Ok, France joined coalition of good countries that want to bomb russia.

For the 10th time in the last two months, Monsieur Macron connects to the “good countries” in the morning and disconnects in the evening. He has no consistency.

But overall there is progress, NATO agreed to Ukrainian strikes on Russia.
But 2 years ago it was exclusively about the supply of non-lethal equipment.

From the very beginning of this war, I thought that Poland would definitely be the first to send troops into Ukraine.
(I read about your war with the Russians in 1920, and your incredible victory in it)

27 months have already passed. Poland probably wants to introduce
the troops are not going with the small Baltic countries, but with the “big guys” (France, Great Britain, USA), which looks more reasonable. Fortunately, the Second World Army turned out to be not as powerful as we feared, and I do not rule out the version according to which the war will end not in Kyiv, but in Moscow or even beyond the Urals
Our dear Gary will not intimidate us!

 

[MaciekRS]

The problem with Polish troops in Ukraine is that russian propaganda would immediately SCREAM "Poland is taking back Ukraine for themself"
So it is possible ONLY with other countries AND Ukraine would need to ASK LAUD AND CLEAR for protection.
It is not needed right now,

Donald Trump said he would have bombed Moscow if the Russian Federation had invaded Ukraine during his presidency.


writes The Washington Post.
Trump has repeatedly stated that under his presidency Russia would not have invaded Ukraine and even now, having come to power, he can supposedly stop the war in one day.

" I would bomb everyone and make peace"

According to the publication, at one of his election events, Trump said that he would bomb Moscow and Beijing if Russia invaded Ukraine or China invaded Taiwan. These words surprised some donors.

Trump previously said that he knows both Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky very well, so he will be able to “solve the problem of the war in Ukraine very quickly.”

“I would invite him (Putin) into the room. I would put Zelensky in a room. Then I would bring them together. And we would have made a deal,” Trump commented on Putin’s words.

In an interview with NBC, Trump readily stated that if re-elected president, he would resolve the war within 24 hours, but did not provide any details of his plan.

“If I tell you exactly, I’ll lose all my cards. What I mean is that you cannot say exactly what you are going to do. But I would say certain things to Putin. I would say certain things to Zelensky,” he said.

NBC notes that the journalist pressed Trump several times to clearly explain how he was going to end the war, but Trump continued to avoid explanation.

When asked if he would allow the Kremlin to hold Ukrainian territory that Russian troops had illegally seized by force, he responded that he would “enter into an agreement that is fair for all.”



Political expert Taras Zagorodny believes that there are many myths around Trump in Ukraine. “If you remember his presidency, he, for example, lifted the arms embargo on our country, which was imposed by the Obama-Biden cabinet. The first Javelins came in with him. And when there was a concentration of troops in Crimea in 2021, the Russians were conducting exercises, then the Trump administration sent two strategic bombers to Ukraine that flew over the south of Ukraine with the official wording of “containing Russia,” Zagorodniy recalled.

At least, the political expert notes, the Republicans are now increasing pressure on the administration of the current president and also candidate Joe Biden: “There were recently hearings in Congress, where a representative of the Republican Party asked US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on what basis they banned strikes on Russian territory with American weapons, although Congress did not prohibit it. So these kinds of movements, I think that's the general mood of the Republican Party. We often have myths surrounding this party. And it’s quite possible that Trump will take a tougher stance if he wins the election.”

But Trump is a politician, a presidential candidate. He can promise to bomb not only Moscow and Beijing, but also planets still unknown to science.
These guys can even promise, like a guy in love with his bride, to get stars from the sky.
It’s stupid, of course, but some young woman, especially blondes, believe in it
Disappointment comes later, when he achieves his goal, that is... when he sits in the presidential chair

Russia have the R-37 M Missile which have a maximum Range up to 400 km. It is designed to hit AWACS, Tanker and Bomber.

Su-30s radar in volume search would have around 100-150km max, lower than the missile's potential.

They should destroy it via missiles or sabotage while in the ground.

Su-30s radar in volume search would have around 100-150km max, lower than the missile's potential.

This is why the U.S. isn't particularly concerned with Russia's R-37 missile, despite its range. Russian RADAR aboard height fighter aircraft and extremely underwhelming. The Russians have always been excellent when it comes to missile / rocket propulsion, but they are second rate when it comes to things like RADAR and navigation systems.

Although the R-37 significantly outranges the the AIM-120D / ER, the Americans are incredibly confident that Russia's ability to detect F-35s and F-22s, especially in a neutral setting, is so low, that Russia's best Migs and SUs would be well inside the U.S. fighters' missile envelope before the Russians could track them, let alone achieve a radar lock on them. The radar cross sections of most Russian fighters are a juicy target for the Americans. The new American fighters, being massed produced as a significant challenge for the Russians.
