Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky emphasized that continued shortages in air defense systems and artillery are preventing Ukraine from effectively defending itself against Russian strikes and ground assaults. Zelensky stated in an interview with PBS News Hour, which aired on April 15, that Ukrainian forces continue to lack enough air defense systems to protect Ukraine’s critical infrastructure. Zelensky noted that Ukrainian forces were only able to destroy the first seven of the 11 Russian missiles launched against the Trypilska Thermal Power Plant (TPP) on April 11 before running out of air defense missiles, allowing the remaining four missiles to destroy the plant.

 

Strike on full Russian Airport; Ukraine's Defense this Summer will be "catastrophically difficult"!

Lots of fireworks in orc lands.

 

Crimea is already a resort - new roads, rebuilt hotels, new airport etc. Until 2014 nothing was done there to make it an attractive place for tourists. So the fantasies about a Disneyland there are just a result of inflammation of a sick brain after heavy drinking. For the rest - no way Crimea will join Ukraine.Maybe only in the wet dreams of Zelensky.

 

The Ukrainians continue to hit the Russians.

Ukrainian forces struck a Russian military airfield in occupied Dzhankoi, Crimea, overnight on April 16 to 17. Geolocated footage posted on April 16 shows explosions at the airfield in Dzhankoi, where the Russian 39th Separate Helicopter Regiment (27th Composite Aviation Division, 4th Air Force and Air Defense Army, Southern Military District) is based.

 

Yes...you're right, Crimea is already "resort" ....for FSB,Rosgvardia,GRU, RuMilitary,etc, visko.

Yes, new roads,hotels,airport built....for military purposes mostly....visko.

"Fantasies of Disneyland are a result of inflammation of sick mind after heavy drinking"?

I understand viska....RuZzians have a searing ignorance of economics....I see nothing wrong with promoting a potential tourist hotspot for economic reasons, which translates into huge $$$ into the states coffers....I used Disneyland for an example....same as South Beach Florida, Key West FL, Venice Beach CA, Myrtle Beach SC, Mazatlan,Acapulco, Baja, Copacabana, Veradero, Ibiza,Monaco, etc....I've been to most of these places....vibrant and successful.

Crimea could be similar.....but won't be, as long as it's a launching pad for terrorist Rusnya. That's why it must be returned to Ukraine.....and will be visko.

 

Crimea is especially vulnerable.

“Footage widely circulated on social media by Russian and Ukrainian sources early on Wednesday show bright flashes of light and explosions, with sirens wailing in the background. A local Telegram channel reported "several loud explosions," starting just before 4 a.m. local time, before a fire broke out. Roads around the air base are blocked, the channel later reported. Dzhankoy is a major military hub, home to one of Russia's largest airfields in Crimea. It is a key location for supplying Russian troops up through Moscow-controlled southern Ukraine and the frontlines of fighting on the mainland. Russia annexed Crimea back in 2014.”

Ukraine targets strategic assets while Russia targets civilians.

“Ukrainian forces struck a factory in eastern Russia charged with producing bomber aircraft for Moscow's military, according to Kyiv officials. The Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine (HUR) told Ukrainian news outlets that its drones hit the Gorbunov Aviation Plant in Russia's Tatarstan region Wednesday morning. The plant, in the region's capital of Kazan, manufactures missile carriers and special-purpose aircraft, including Tu-22M3 and Tu-160M bombers. The facility is 435 miles east of Moscow and roughly 808 miles from Ukraine's border.” (emphasis mine)

Hey, zoomie, Ukraine had Crimea at full possession since the collapse of the USSR (more than 20 years) however Crimea did not turn into "Disneyland". What makes you think that if the peninsula goes to Ukraine it will be a Disneyland?

 

Yes, China is watching.

Not true. Ukraine apart from military objects targets also civilians - city of Belgorod and Bryansk are the most known cases.

 

It was full of corrupt oligarchs that stole money and bought mansions and yachts in Dubai,Monaco, London,New York, etc...instead of trying to promote a potential tourist attraction....viska.

Once Ukraine is in EU/NATO and there's freedom of movement of millions....and the $$$ roll in....I suspect far more development.

Let's be honest....RuZzia will never promote Crimea,theyre simply not capable enough....it'll be just a playground for Oligarchs and their close allies, and for security services like FSB, GRU, etc.

 

RDK/FRL does that visko....wanna see a recent YT vid where they caught more RuZzki conscripts?

 

What NATO has to do with corruption and development of the resorts? It is a military and not economic entity. Turkey is full of corruption while being in NATO. So? By the way, there is a lot of corruption in EU. The difference to Ukraine is that you need to bring more money to bribe a person in the EU countries. Otherwise, same ****. This is especially in Greece and Italy. Ukraine will be always a corruption shithole which sucks money from the West. There would be no Disneyland in Crimea with Ukraine, forget about it.

 

You mean RDK attacks civilians or what?

 

Belgorod and Bryansk are prime military targets.

Belgorod was a staging area for Russian invasion forces. Bryansk: Nebo-U long-range radar system.
Russia should relocate its military targets away from urban areas.

No...they take out military targets and RuZzian conscripts.

Bilhorod ,Kursk,Bryansk, are war zones now...visko....like the tank battle in '43....

I'm hearing they'll be "independent republics"?

 

Well...yes, I mentioned it's a military entity, sad to say and not economic also,unfortunately.

OK...Turkey has some corruption?....probably not as bas as RuZzia....great beaches I hear?....why do RuZzians vacation there and not Crimea?....Orcs are filling Turkeys coffers?....I guess those RuZzkis vacationing in Turkey don't like FSB bird dogging them for privacy reasons.

Lots of corruption in EU?.....nowhere near in Mafiosi....I can post Konstantin YT vid where he indicates, if you're not connected by "KPOBA" in Mordor....you're a peasant.

Greece and Italy have great atmosphere for tourism, visko, ....why do RuZzkis vacation there also and not Crimea....filling their coffers?

"Ukraine will always be corrupt $hithole that sucks money from West"......I detect some butthurt jealousy, viska?....since if...or I shall say when,Ukraine joins EU/NATO, standards of living will rise ...CONSIDERABLY....which will make those RuZzians in the RF rather jealous, and they will surely demand indoor toilets and running water shortly after.

They won't be able to contain their displeasure seeing these "low life khohols" live better than them.

 

Crimea is perfect for fireworks and adrenaline junkies.

The Turkish coast is better for those who prefer luxury resorts and beaches without commandos

 

The Ukrainians have good intelligence.
Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, April 18, 2024
Apr 18, 2024 - ISW Press



Ukrainian Main Military Intelligence Directorate (GUR) Head Lieutenant General Kyrylo Budanov specified that the Russian offensive effort that Ukrainian officials have been forecasting will likely begin in June 2024. Budanov stated in an April 17 article in the Washington Post that Russia will launch a “big” offensive in June 2024 with the aim of seizing all of Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts. Budanov also stated that Russian forces will try to make battlefield gains throughout 2024 as part of efforts to influence Western decision-making. Budanov had previously forecasted that a future major Russian offensive would begin in late May or early June 2024, and it is notable that Budanov has now narrowed his forecast to June and identified the likely aim of the Russian offensive. Previous major Russian offensive efforts have similarly aimed to seize the remainder of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts.

They say an S-200 was used to shoot that bomber down. Talk about an oldie but goodie!

 

2 pilots injured...1 dead, 1 missing....?

The one MIA is probably dead.....the 2 injured (aka, badly busted up, back /neck broke, etc), no further use to society.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov signaled Russia’s intent to seize Kharkiv City in a future significant Russian offensive operation, the first senior Kremlin official to outright identify the city as a possible Russian operational objective following recent Ukrainian warnings that Russian forces may attempt to seize the city starting in Summer 2024.
