MOSCOW, March 3. /TASS/. The Russian Armed Forces have hit 1,612 targets since the start of a special military operation in Ukraine, Russian Defense Ministry Spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov said.

"As many as 1,612 targets have been hit since the start of the operation, including 62 command posts and communications centers, 39 S-300, Buk M-1 and Osa missile systems and 52 radar stations," he specified.

According to him, 49 aircraft were destroyed on the ground and another 13 in the air. A total of 606 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 67 multiple rocket launchers, 227 field artillery pieces and mortars, 405 military motor vehicles and 53 unmanned aerial vehicles were also destroyed.

Look at the targets claimed. They are taking over this country in the exact same way we take over a country to replace a strongman we don’t like. Honestly, the Russians have shown more restraint than we do when we overthrow a country (see first days of Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom). The Russians have blinded the Ukrainian military. That’s what all the explosions, with no corresponding battle damage shown, have been. Before I’m flamed for posting “Russian propaganda”, remember up until one week ago, Russia’s military might had been unquestioned by the entire world since 1945. Now we get laughable disinformation from Kiev and DC such “ghosts of Kiev” and Ukrainian turkey shoots taking out the Russian armor we have spent trillions trying defending Western Europe from. Feel free to indignantly quote the Biden regime, Hillary, CNN, NYT, Fox, Romney, Vindman, all the DC DS talking head disinformation to show what a fool I am. Zelenskyy isn’t relying on the disinformation, he will negotiate a settlement before the Russian Shock and Awe actually begins.

This is far from a “surgical strike.”

This is what we did in Iraq, the second time.

It looked like a surgical strike, at first. This is no Panama Invasion, with where it’s gone, and it’s not a peacekeeping mission for the breakaway provinces.

This amount of incursion is not legitimate, in any form.

I agree with you, the Ukraine is the strong hold of the deep state and filled with Nazis, something our MSM will not say. Sadly too many believe the media lies.

[hardspunned]

Are you talking about the bloody 20 year incursion to rid the world of phantom Iraqi yellow cake uranium or the Russian incursion to keep massed, virulently anti Russian, NATO armored divisions off of their border?

[libh8er]

From Tass ? Why don’t you post the veritable truth from RT and Sputnik as well ?

[nuconvert]

” filled with Nazis”

Care to elaborate? I’m sure the jewish pres. of Ukraine would be interested.

[NorseViking]

Google Azov, Aydar. There are US Army deserters wanted for multiple murders in Carolinas with them, Ukraine refuses to extradite.

[Reeses]

Centralized planning always fails because centralized data collection is always gamed. There is no way, in the fog of war, could these totals be anything but completely made up.

No thanks, for the Russian bs point of view.

Lol, Russia is invading Ukraine with 190,000 soldiers to get some "US Army deserters".

[NorseViking]

You guys were saying the invasion has been taking place since 2014. Why triggered now? As a Polish, since when have you started to love the Ukrainian nationalists?

[nuconvert]

So, in a country of 40 million people, there are maybe a thousand in Azov’s group - Who btw, did take on Putin’s murdering henchmen the Chechens, led by Kadyrov. Sounds like one deserves the other.

The Russians have blinded the Ukrainian military. That is flat-out ridiculous. The U.S., Britain, and likely any other European country that has the capability is flooding the Ukrainian high command with all sorts of intelligence from satellites, SIGINT, etc.. Additionally, the internet, cell phones, and satellite phones are all still operating, so you can commanders can receive real time intelligence even from ordinary people in the field. Even yesterday, there were all sorts of public reports of the Russian fleet heading in the direction of Odessa.

The Ukrainians are as far as you can get from being "blinded". In fact, the real time, up-to-date intelligence the Ukrainians are receiving is likely one of the reasons they have been so successful defending their country this far.

Ok, and I’ll raise you your sources:
Soros, Biden, Vindman, Romney, CNN, Hillary, The Compost, FOX (yeah, the lead dog on calling the election of “president” Biden), Trudeau, Macron. Real easy, EVERY single corrupt lying piece of disinformation you can possibly quote. Check my tagline, it took me 50 years. That’s an attainable goal for you too.

It is almost impossible to have a reasonable and intelligent discussion about this currently.

As soon as you say that Russia/Putin is not crazy and might have an intelligent reason(s) for moving on Ukraine...from their point of view....the discourse goes right to “crazy” and “be careful who you say that to.”

That you can have people question Russian Press but not ours, after all we have been lied to over the years, is an amazing feat of propaganda and the product of an exceptionally weak but arrogant education system domestically.

[tlozo]

You guys were saying the invasion has been taking place since 2014. Why triggered now?

Whole world is triggered because Putin is invading a country in Europe, Ukraine and assaulting its capitol. Arguing de-nazification as a justification when you're invading the whole country, is moronic. If Putin had just taken more of Donbas maybe he could have sold his bs "protecting Russian minorities" and "de-nazification".

[Renfrew]

The good news is that the Russian missiles are in the same condition as their tanks and their soldiers, so a lot of those attacks did no damage.

[dfwgator]

Like when Hitler invaded all of Poland, although he claimed he only wanted Danzig and the Corridor.

[NorseViking]

So there was no invasion in 2014? Okay.

[CodeToad]

I don’t know if those images are just posed propaganda, but they are kinda of funny.
