Strike On Russian Strategic Early Warning Radar Site Is A Big Deal
The Warzone via Yahoo ^ | May 26th, 2024 | Joseph Trevithick

Posted on 05/26/2024 10:57:15 AM PDT by Mariner

Satellite imagery confirms a Russian strategic early warning radar site in the southwestern end of the country was substantially damaged in a reported Ukrainian drone attack earlier this week. This looks to be a first-of-its-kind attack on a site linked to Russia's general strategic defense. As such, it points to a new and worrisome dimension to the conflict, especially when it comes to the potential use of nuclear weapons.

A satellite image taken on May 23 that The War Zone obtained from Planet Labs of the Armavir Radar Station in Russia's southwestern Krasnodar Krai shows significant debris around one of the site's two Voronezh-DM radar buildings. These are ultra-high-frequency (UHF) over-the-horizon (OTH) radars that are part of Russia's nuclear ballistic missile early warning system.

“Let me repeat - THERE WAS NO SUCH ATTACK”

I still say that Jews died in the Holocaust. Why do you continue to deny it (or at least try to ignore the issue)?

Hey moron, it has nothing to do with whether or not it was successful. It has to do that it was conducted at all. It would be like a Russian proxy striking our satellites or the old DEW line, or it’s replacement.

Striking systems designed to detect an incoming strike is utterly insane. If someone tried to poke out our strategic eyes, we would immediately prep for an incoming strike.

These idiot Uke jackasses are really out over the tips of the skis.

And these Uke assclowns claiming there was no strike. There is no doubt they struck the nuclear air base in Saratov and one other.

Imagine if Russia or a proxy struck a US Airbase where nuclear bombers are based.

The US is run by rank amateurs. Thinking we can destroy Russian defensive Nuclear triad radars under the guise of Ukraine... when o ly the US, British or French actually handle satellite intelligence or missile systems will have to be addressed when Russian munitions destroy the launch sites and contractors.

That warning from Russia is two fold, first attacking Nuclear specific sites can bring a tactical response, second all F16s will be treated as Nuclear threats.

NATO continues to believe that Russia can be defeated or even destroyed by the Ukrainian proxy.

When the US is looking at the smoking Russian retaliation will they be all in for a tit for tat that includes the US being targeted?

Hungry and Italy want no part of EU/NATOs escalating of this war.

Yes and to months to repair. I believe all NATO contractors on missile teams are being scheduled for destruction by Russian tactical nuclear weapons along with all bunkers and other US/NATO presences.

This will result in retaliation beyond Ukraine’s boarder.

Not to defend this bunch (the WW3 Cheerleaders), but maybe he simply does not know. After all, he’s saying that the Ukrainians didn’t strike the base. I agree with that, as Ukraine would have NO CLUE as to where and how to attack Russian Nuclear Early Warning Stations. Like I’ve been saying, this is CLEARLY a Neocon attack, likely intended to finally get their WW3 started. But if I were just a Ukrainian Operative, I would also be clueless regarding what is going on.

???, ... I called the strike "stupidity" by Uke Nazis and NeoCons together.

I didn't address the success or failure of it.

It’s a special kind of stupid.

They are children paying with kegs of gunpowder...not having a clue what it is.

These people in DC now are a threat to all mankind.

“as Ukraine would have NO CLUE as to where and how to attack Russian Nuclear Early Warning Stations. “

I think they would. During the Soviet days Ukes were fully distributed around the Soviet military. Also many Soviet strategic assets were based in the Ukraine. This of course also gives rise to the fable that Ukraine gave up “their nukes”.

“What part of attacking STRATEGIC ASSETS of another country is not an act of war?”

What part of attacking another country is not an act of war? Is there some level of attack on another country that isn’t war? What’s your threshold for a non-strategic alliance attack on the US?

There’s an old saying “use it or lose it”. Hope that doesn’t hold true here.

Good Lord we have no business on Earth getting caught up in another go round in an ancient Eastern European blood feud.

Not that my threshold matters anymore, but at this point I’d say hitting the World Trade Center is ‘non-strategic’, while taking out NORAD (or whatever gay black woman it’s now named after) is ‘strategic’.

The Neocons targeting Nuclear Early Warning Systems in Russia is DEFINITELY something that goes well beyond trying to drive Russia out of what was once Ukraine, and will likely result in some VERY SERIOUS problems for the Neocons in the near future.

When you're one of the smallest kids in the sandbox, you better hit the bully in the nuts right away when he comes for you.

Otherwise, you get Ukraine - beat up for a year or two and when you finally decide it's time to go for the nads, everyone accuses you of escalating the fight that wasn't your fault or your choice in the first place.

No clue what you’re talking about, but sometimes it’s better to NOT pick a fight a 6th grader, when your ‘big-brother’ is having trouble graduating 2nd grade.

No problem, I’ve done the same, I usually type a couple of paragraphs before I figure out I clicked the next post down.
