#putin escalates by voicing his plans to deploy tactical nuclear weapons on #Belarusian territory.

It was planned well before. In 2020 #Lukashenko illegally seized power. In February 2022, he conducted an unlawful referendum that ditched the country's non-nuclear status. ⏬
putin voices a plan to modernize Belarusian aircraft to make them nuclear-capable and train Belarusian pilots to operate them. In December 2022, putin deployed, and in February 2023, the Belarusian reported that they started operating the #Iskander-M dual-capable missile systems.
On February 25, 2023, putin played an idiot linking his nuclear proliferation plans to armor-piercing rounds containing depleted uranium to be provided to Ukraine by the U.K.

1/17 Own conclusions on @RUSI_org report: #Russia set out to conquer and annex all of #Ukraine and to commit #genocide by murdering #Ukraine government and all those who would resist #russification.
2/17 The plan was based on mistaken assumptions of opinions of #Ukraine population and military, in particular a faulty perception that the majority would not resist a #Russia invasion
3/17 #Ukraine intelligence estimated that instead of the overambitious actual plan the #Russia main effort would be a general attack in #Donbas. While dispersal was mostly done in time, redeployment started too late.

4/x #Nuclear power plants were planned to function as secure bases, depots and command centres, to control #energy in #Ukraine and to threaten #Europe countries with pollution.

#Russian arty counterbattery (CBF/КББ) tactics & why 🇷🇺 can’t destroy 🇺🇦 artillery. 🇷🇺 Assessments.

- in short: no intel, no experience.
- 🇺🇦 is strong & well armed with Soviet & Western weapons, linked with contemporary centrix-based comms supported with AI.
2/n
- 🇺🇦 operates along the 🇺🇸 concept of multidomain battle (air, land, sea, space, cyber) with live intel, uninterrupted combat readiness inside the OODA loop.
- 🇷🇺 noticed that the tactics 🇺🇦 employs is not what 🇷🇺 expects.
3/n
- 🇺🇦 artillery (10-12 pieces) disperse into autonomous groups with 2-4 pieces each (on an area up to 100 sq kms); no 🇺🇦radio activity whatsoever.
- autonomous means each 🇺🇦 group cdr is authorized to plan its operations independently from other groups.

The massed attacks on #Ukraine today again raises the question about different approaches to managing the long-range ballistic and cruise missile threat. 🧵
I am not claiming to have written the book on the topic, but I did write a chapter with that headline for the Swedish Defence Research Agency (@FOIresearch) a few years ago, so I have given it some thought. The tl;dr version is that it's hard. foi.se/en/foi/news-an…
Ballistic missiles (such as #Iskander) are very difficult targets, and only the most high-end systems are able to intercept them and then within a rather limited range. Cruise missiles (#Kalibr) are easier targets, and many systems are able to at least in theory target them.

Was hat #Russland überhaupt an einsetzbaren Nuklearwaffen? Es ist deutlich weniger als ihr denkt.
#SLBM an U-Booten haben wir bis zu 5 der neuen #Borei mit je 16 R30 (SS-N-32 #Bulawa, RSM-56 Alternative Bezeichnungen) mit je bis zu 6 Sprengköpfen.
Dazu kommen 7 #DeltaIV mit 1/x
Je 16x R-29RM (SS-N-23 #Skiff) mit je bis zu 6 Sprengköpfen.
Dazu soll noch ein #DeltaIII (Status fraglich) im Dienst sein mit 16xR-29RL (SS-N-18 #Stingray mit je einem Sprengkopf. Das noch existierende #Typhoon (offiziell 20x Beluwa) wird nur als Testplatform genutzt und 2/x
Soll nicht mehr einsatzbereit sein, dazu eh gen Ende des Jahres ausgemustert werden.
Daher sind maximal 228 Raketen mit 1288 Sprengköpfen möglich.

Starting a new Rus - Ukr thread

Last one ended here
🇷🇺🇺🇦
No major movements on the map since my last update.
The only notable news is the reported entrance of Rus forces in Vovcherovka, 7 - 8 km south of #Lisichansk
The photos are reportedly from there but it's not known currently whether it's cleared completely ImageImageImageImage
🇷🇺🇺🇦
Another interesting detail is that 2 small settlements Sinetski & Pavlograd (just across the river from #Lisichansk) are in the gray zone on the map.
The Rus probably haven't entered them likely due to being exposed to Ukr fire from the other bank Image

Thread!
Sta girando un video di #BrunoVespa del 2018, che ha molto successo nel twitter filo #russo.
Il video ci permette di analizzare come la #propaganda #russa sia da anni così pervasiva da essere incastonata nelle opinioni anche di chi filo russo non è.
vediamo perché:
1/10
"ma come è venuto in mente di mettere i missili in #Polonia" dice #Vespa.
ma di che parla?
parla di un sistema DIFENSIVO antimissile, parte del sistema di difesa #NATO, deciso dall'amministrazione Bush nel 2002, con l'evolversi delle capacità dei missili balistici iraniani.
2/10
La #NATO volle proteggere il fianco orientale con delle installazioni DIFENSIVE anti missile in #Romania e #Polonia e un radar in Repubblica #Ceca.
La #Russia di #Medvedev, temendo di perdere la capacità di deterrenza, reagì con le minacce.

The original Mega thread ends here

There is talk that the Ukr CinC Zaluzhny & Zelensky had a meeting during which the withdrawal from #Lisichansk agglomeration was discussed.
The only feasible way is going by the road to Seversk which is not physically cut but can be shelled from Rus held territory

Il est évident pour quiconque a un cerveau dans la tête et la capacité de penser indépendamment de l’esprit de la ruche occidentale, que le meurtre de civils à #Bucha et maintenant à #Kramatorsk, a été perpétré par le régime ukrainien.
Seul un idiot conclurait le contraire !
Image
Au lieu de chercher la vérité, les médias occidentaux travaillent main dans la main avec le régime de #Kiev pour pousser un faux récit selon lequel la Russie tue des civils. La seule explication donnée #Poutine est un tyran et que tout ce qui est russe est intrinsèquement mauvais
8 ans d’histoire de ciblage de civils
Ces criminels ont pillé et assassiné, non seulement à #Odessa, où ils ont tiré, battu et brûlé vif des manifestants non armés lors du massacre du bâtiment du syndicat d’#Odessa, mais dans des villes des zones historiquement alignées sur la🇷🇺

'Why does #Ukraine need a "second #Bucha" in #Kramatorsk?

Another terrorist attack by the #Kiev regime with civilian deaths and a Tochka-U missile.
Another ballistic missile strike on its territory by the #Kiev regime.
The footage that appeared from #Kramatorsk shows that the missile's control form shows that the Tochka-U missile, which is not used by the Russian Armed Forces in the military operation in #Ukraine, was used.
The Ukrainian authorities decided to repeat the successful terrorist act in Bucha, only now on the territory of the Donetsk region, which has not yet been liberated by the People's Militia of the #Donetsk People's Republic (#DPR).
