Russian soldiers use bodies of dead brothers-in-arms as shields

Bodies of Russian soldiers have piled up in Donbas, and Russian troops use those piles as shields when they conduct offensive operations. 

Source: Kyrylo Budanov, Chief of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, in an interview with ABC News

Details: Budanov was in Bakhmut, Donetsk Oblast, at the end of December where the fiercest battles are going on right now. What he saw shocked him. 

Quote: "Soldiers showed me a section where dead bodies are piled up like something you would see in a movie… There are hundreds of dead bodies just rotting away in the open field; in certain places, they are piled on top of other bodies like makeshift walls; when Russian troops attack on that field, they use those bodies for cover, like a shield…

But it's not working. There are actual fields of dead bodies there."

Will Putin’s Blunder in Ukraine Be His Downfall?

nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/will-p...

Is the Putin regime entering its terminal stage amid Russia’s repeated setbacks in Ukraine? As the war continues with no end in sight, there has been much speculation about Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s refusal to attend the G20 summit in Bali and his recent decision to dispatch Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy secretary of Russia’s Security Council, to Beijing. Analysts have focused on Putin’s failed military offensive in Ukraine, his fear of Covid-19, and possible health issues related to cancer. Russian historians, however, recognize a more likely scenario behind these developments.

Leaving the Kremlin during times of uncertainty and chaos has been very unhealthy for Russian leaders. Czar Nicholas spent too much time out of Moscow running the army during World War I. He paid for it with his and his family’s lives. Later, Nikita Khrushchev and Mikhail Gorbachev were ousted while on vacation.

Putin knows history, but he also knows when to maximize power. A mid-level KGB officer when the Soviet Union broke up, Putin watched his peers use their KGB connections to amass wealth and power, but also to develop organized crime gangs. Putin did both. Within ten years, he maneuvered from a job at St. Petersburg University into the position of prime minister and President Boris Yeltsin’s anointed heir. Simultaneously, he maintained close contact with Russia’s successor of the KGB, the FSB. In Russia, remaining in power requires playing the armed forces and the KGB/FSB, and organizing them against each other.

.....

But behind the veneer of the Chekists’ unity, an all-against-all power struggle has erupted. One glaring example is a lasting stand-off between two powerful FSB generals, Ivan Tkachev and Sergei Alpatov, both of whom serve in the department that deals with economic crimes. Their clashes reveal a widening rift between two FSB factions with rival oligarchic alliances. Alpatov, a member of the “Moscow clan,” has been the acting head of the Economic Security Service (ESS) for more than a year. Tkachev, on the other hand, is thought to be part of the clan of Igor Sechin, Putin’s longtime lieutenant and the CEO of Rosneft, the largest Russian state-owned oil producer

.....

Corruption is widespread among all of Putin’s subordinates. In just one widely reported case, FSB colonels Kirill Cherkalin and Dmitry Frolov used their authority and connections to embezzle hundreds of millions of dollars from the Russian people. Much of it was done with the knowledge of then-First Deputy Director of the FSB Sergey Smirnov, and his successor, Sergei Korolev, is widely believed to be embroiled in similar schemes.

Today, FSB generals are building a power base for the future, in case the regime collapses.

The rise of armed groups is threatening Russia’s integrity. The powerful Evgeny Prigozhin, the head of the infamous Wagner Group, which deploys its mercenaries to Ukraine and Africa, and Chechen ruler Ramzan Kadyrov, who sent his shock troops to the front line in Ukraine, would be important players in Putin’s succession.

The continued failures in Ukraine are creating fissures within all three of Russia’s power bases, starting with the FSB. The agency could not have gotten intelligence on Ukraine more wrong if it tried. Based on that flawed intelligence, the Russian Army deployed its woefully untrained troops and poorly maintained vehicles into Ukraine—with catastrophic results.

Russian history will remember a brutal president unleashing two even more brutal allies. In trying to set himself up as a modern-day Vladimir the Great, Putin will track more closely with Ivan the Terrible, who left Moscow defeated and broke at his death.

Czar Nicholas fell from power when soldiers walked away from the battlefield and completed the long march home. Russian winters are legendary for having defeated the militaries of Napoleon and Hitler. Ukrainian winters are just as bad. And this time, the Russians are the invaders, dependent on long supply lines, a broken logistics system, and substandard equipment.

Putin’s balance of power, anchored on his Chekist Renaissance, is coming apart.

Russische vrouwen vliegen naar Argentinië om te bevallen: “Argentijns paspoort zal veel deuren openen”
Sinds de Russische invasie van Oekraïne floreert het ‘geboortetoerisme’ in Argentinië. Zwangere Russische vrouwen reizen speciaal naar het Zuid-Amerikaanse land om daar te bevallen zodat hun kind ook de Argentijnse nationaliteit krijgt. De gedeeltelijke mobilisatie in Rusland heeft deze trend nog versterkt, meldt de Britse krant ‘The Guardian’.

Basis van de Tsjetsjenen van Kadyrov in hun legerbasis, een hangar, die beschoten is door het Oekrainse leger en volledig in puin ligt

Disposable Kadyrovites complain that the Armed Forces of Ukraine launched a missile attack on the hangar and disposed of all their equipment. It is not possible to sit in the rear. We are waiting for new strikes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the clusters of Kadyrovites and orcs. Thanks to the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the Chechen people!

Alleen al de dreiging met anti-scheepsraketten zal er voor zorgen dat de Chinese marine niet binnen de 200 km van het eiland zal durven komen.
Ik snap dat je alles beter weet maar je snapt zelf ook wel dat onderzeeërs niet echt vatbaar zijn voor anti-scheepraketten. Ze hoeven niet eens aan het oppervlak te komen om raketten af te vuren.
200 km is niet nodig, 1000 km kan ook als daarmee een grote blokkade wordt gevormd.
En tegenwoordig vliegt dat spul wel iets verder nog ook, vanaf land bijvoorbeeld; Range >1500 km
