Ukrainian Forces May Be Preparing JASSM Missile Strike Deep Into Russia, Reports Suggest
X ^ | 9/4/24 | Zlatti71

Posted on 09/04/2024 7:01:42 AM PDT by hardspunned

Turkish sources, citing intelligence and government officials, report that Ukrainian forces are planning a missile strike deep into Russian territory using JASSM missiles. This attack is reportedly being timed to coincide with Russian President Vladimir Putin's birthday on October 7.

Experts from Modern War Research believe that an official announcement regarding the delivery of these missiles to Kyiv will be made just before the strike, indicating that the missiles may have already arrived in Ukraine. This approach mirrors the previous deliveries of Himars, M270 MLRS, and ATACMS missiles.

As polls keep looking lousier for the Commies in this 60 day countdown, war is all that’s left in their basket of tricks. We know from the past, they are not restrained from destroying absolutely anything if it means retaining power, so they will keep poking the bear into WWIII. Soon Putin will snap and nukes will be in the air. Anyone can see the ratcheting-up that is now taking place while no one even mentions negotiations. I detest the fact that they are putting targets on the backs of all Americans and this disgusting behavior mirrors their disassociation from the Americans they killed at Abbey Gate.

Ukraine’s Hail Mary pass is to get NATO directly on the ground in Ukraine. Escalation of the war including precipitation of the use of tactical nukes by the Russians could be the trip wire.

The Ukrainian incursion into Russia has backfired. The Russians did not divert troops from their offensive in the Donbass. And now Ukraine is experiencing high troop losses in Russia. They can’t hold the 500 square miles they now control.

For the previous 72 hours, the menacing whirr above our heads has belonged to Russia’s suicide drones, passing over and then bearing down on their targets.
Now the buzz comes from a Ukrainian unmanned aircraft which has not been sent up to kill, but to relay footage from the training ground to commanders back at base.

We’ve been brought to a secret training location in the Chernihiv region where the latest army intake is being fast tracked to the battlefield in the renewed effort to blunt Moscow’s grinding advance.

In the hail of machine gun fire and instructors’ commands, the most striking aspect of the scene is the age of the new recruits. Most seem to be in their 40s and 50s.

Ukraine IS the battleground in this proxy war between NATO and Russia

Until now, both sides have avoided hitting rear areas, although Ukraine’s drone attacks on oil tanks have been a nuisance.

Everyone should realize that Ukraine’s rear area are bases in Poland and even Germany

Russia could stop this right now. Just cease fire and retire to the 2022 borders.

It’s not that difficult to understand.

Escalate brother, there will be no escalated retaliation. All brothers know this. Enjoy the strike.

You do realize that Russia is so concerned about the Ukraine that they are willing to escalate to nuclear weapons if the West attempts to add the Ukraine to NATO. We would never allow this to happen to us with Russia taking over Mexico or Canada.

People who advocate for this war are bloodthirsty to the point of stupidity.

For once I agree with you but I will go a bit further. Using these missiles will do great damage and as you say spark Putin’s major retaliation, but I think Zelensky is counting on Putin going a bridge too far and striking bases in Poland or the Baltics that may or may not be actively backing the Ukies and
causing many NATO casualties. Then Z hopes those losses will propel NATO into the war. Then he hopes Putin bavcks down in the face of NATO’s response and backs out of Ukraine. I think Putin might go in a different direction

We get it, already!

You are a Bushite neocon stooge with an inate warmongering bloodlust that has made you an easy mark for your woke, pervo, green globalist masters.

We all got all that after you replied with the first poster sized image. I’m using an iPhone and can only get the significance of half of that undoubtedly lame attempt at a witticism.

Like I say, we’ve noticed you and have given you due notice. You’ve made your point. No more poster plastering the walls. We know what you are.

There is your October surprise, folks.....a Russian counter-strike against the West.

If Iran supplies missiles to Hamas and then Hamas strikes Israel, we all agree that Israel has the right to hit Iran back.

“It definitely puts Moscow within range of the Uke’s border. “

Imagine, if you will, 50 of these US missiles hitting government buildings in Moscow over a 10 minute period.

What would happen?

Even a third grader in Alexandria VA knows the answer to that question...

Russia has been working on the FAB5000 and FAB9000 for Zelinski and the Boys from Bandaras. Ukraine is not going to be the positive message the Democrats had pinned their hopes on for the Presidential election in November.

If we didn’t interfere in Ukraine’s internal affairs there never would have been a war. It’s not that hard to figure out.

“Then Z hopes those losses will propel NATO into the war.”

It’s been Ukraine’s principal strategic goal since the onset of the war.
