The Battle for Kherson The Ukrainian Kherson offensive has already started. There was no specific starting day but instead a gradual ramp up of pressure on the Russians This is a thread about what I think we can expect from the Kherson offensive in 2022 (1) #UkraineRussiaWar

@Peterhun @ChrisO_wiki Yes if you have access to the electronics and mechanical interface components. Apparently Ukraine used siemens industrial automation hardware to perform the same task

@Fireblade577 @ChrisO_wiki Replacing a complex analogue computer with digital is a very time consuming task. I can see the logic that building new is better, quicker and cheaper option

1/ Russian army commanders are reportedly refusing to allow stored ZSU-23-4 Shilkas mobile anti-aircraft guns to be refurbished and put back into service, despite Russia's desperate need for more defences against Ukraine's increasingly large-scale drone strikes. ⬇️

@matterasmachine @nukerussia2026 @ChrisO_wiki @BackAndAlive if the effort and cost is worth it yes. They would however only be effective against the bigger recognisance drones and would have to be close to the frontline to be effective in this role so they would be easy targets for FPV drones given their radar betrays their location

@Fireblade577 @nukerussia2026 @ChrisO_wiki @BackAndAlive Better than nothing.

@matterasmachine @nukerussia2026 @ChrisO_wiki @BackAndAlive yes but again at what cost. In this case you are not just replacing one digital system with another. instead you are replacing a 1960ies analogue system with cams and gears that interact mechanically with the firing system. This makes it significantly more difficult

@Fireblade577 @nukerussia2026 @ChrisO_wiki @BackAndAlive One can replace computers.

@nukerussia2026 @ChrisO_wiki @BackAndAlive All vehicles can be restored. The question is to which degree they are restored, at what cost and what conditions these vehicles were stored in. The Shilka is definitely in the most complex category of vehicles to restore and the firing computer in particular is difficult

@Fireblade577 @ChrisO_wiki @BackAndAlive restored and upgraded a dozen of Ukrainian shilkas and got a positive feedback

@ChrisO_wiki system or a complete digital replacement of this. One can only imagine what condition this delicate equipment (as described below) is in after decades of neglectful storage out in the open. I think most would not be repairable and that a complete replacement would be required:

@ChrisO_wiki The Shilka is a very complicated vehicle with an extremely complex analogue firing computer. As such I think it will also be significantly more difficult and expensive to restore than say a main battle tank as it requires either a very big overhaul of the existing firing 1/2

@JensChristiansn @amjadt25 it alone without consulting any of his NATO partners with no contingency plans what so ever when he could have built a coalition first like Bush Sr did in Iraq. This is the absolutely worst plan war in modern US history and nobody else owes the US anything in this regard

@JensChristiansn @amjadt25 The US under Trump is not a reliable ally anymore. He has threatened to annex territory from other NATO countries and has his tongue deep up in Putin's anus pretending to do peace deals for the war in Ukraine while negotiating business deals with Russia. Trump decided to go 1/2

If Iran is not Europe’s burden, then is Ukraine only America’s cross to bear? What kind of doctrine is this, that danger is divided by borders, as if fire asks for passports before it burns?Every drone the UAE strikes from the sky is a shadow removed from a child in Kyiv, a life spared in Europe. Every missile intercepted is a storm cut short before it reaches another home. If this Islamic terrorist regime endures, it will not sit quietly. It will open the gates of the Middle East to darker powers, and the Strait of Hormuz will no longer be a passage, but a leash tightened around your food, your oil, your breath. Yet you watch. You weigh. You delay. You ask others to stand in the fire, and when the ashes settle, you stretch out your hands for the harvest. But justice is not shared with those who stood aside. Those who were silent in the hour of trial will not speak in the hour of victory. And the people of Iran, a nation of history and soul, will remember. They will remember who stood with their chains and who stood for their freedom. Do not preach peace while the flames rise. Do not speak of restraint while terror advances. You have taken up arms before, in lands far from your own( Libya , Syria ,Iraq ) when it served your will. Now the truth stands before you, clear as light yet you turn away. A house divided against truth will not stand. And those who make peace with darkness will one day answer for the night they chose.

@NSense2021 @AriFleischer yes and I think NATO is dead now and will be replaced by another alliance which doesn't incorporate the US

@Fireblade577 @AriFleischer Trump’s big mouth is also a problem. But updated reassessing NATO periodically is ok.

When this is over, the western part of NATO will never be the same. Spain, England, France and Italy have sold us out, as they too often have a history of doing. Eastern European nations are the heart of NATO. They spend money on defense, know how to fight and love the US. France particularly deserves fault and blame. From supporting China and Russia at the UN to denying Americans overflight rights, they’re doing what they’ve always done - showing weakness, while cutting deals with terrorists. (The reason the US has a Marine Corps and Navy is unlike France, we refused to pay a ransom to the Barbary Pirates. France is always happy to cut a deal.) Wars have unintended consequences as nations show their true colors. NATO will never be the same, and Western European weakness and acquiescence is the cause.

@NicklasOberg @branaf0 what do they have left to attack with?

@branaf0 and then libya is a free target fore russia to atack .

🇺🇦 🇱🇾 Ukraine has deployed bases in Libya and is using them to launch drone attacks against Russian ships in the Mediterranean.

@zuraavaliani 😲 there must be lots of blue on blue in this unit.....

Imagine fighting Chechens nonstop for over 300 years and still loosing.

@LandDuckZ You obviously don't understand English well enough to have a normal debate given your non-English speaking background but to spell it out for you again: What I wrote is that you PRETEND to be a MAGA MORON while you in reality are just another Russian bot

@Fireblade577 Wait so now I’m maga and a bot? Boomers 😂

The Battle for Kherson The Ukrainian Kherson offensive has already started. There was no specific starting day but instead a gradual ramp up of pressure on the Russians This is a thread about what I think we can expect from the Kherson offensive in 2022 (1) #UkraineRussiaWar

Trump has insulted and tariffed his European allies, persuaded Denmark to prepare for a US invasion and, by pressuring Ukraine and not Russia, encouraged Putin to keep fighting. All of which he has forgotten. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/03/…

@LandDuckZ No, you are clearly not. When Russians speak they always lie. It's actually quite easy for AI to differentiate between the MAGA MORON you pretend to be and your real ID as a Russian bot. Eat This: x.com/MichaelAArouet…

@Fireblade577 You go around posting some AI bullshit flags people as 97% Russian bot on things you don’t agree with? Lmfaooooo bro I’m in California you incompetent boomer hahaahahahahaahahha

🇺🇸 Trump at 9:00 –– "Regime change was not our goal. We don't want that" 🇺🇸 Trump at 9:07 –– "Regime change is what we want. It is needed" Trust me, both statements are just 7 minutes apart made in the same speech 🤣 🇮🇷 Iran has made him lose his mind

@tv_ir_X 🤡🤡🤡🤡This is a video the Ukrainian bombing of the Russian Kerch strait bridge 🤡🤡🤡🤡

🚨‼️ BREAKING 💥 In retaliation, Iran has struck the bridge connecting Saudi Arabia and Bahrain! ​The strike comes after Saudi Arabia opened its airspace to the US, and follows a previous US strike on a bridge inside Iran.

BREAKING: Pete Hegseth appoints his longtime advisors Jack Daniels and Captain Morgan as his top two generals.

He’s actually bragging about tea bags, I can’t🤣 The level of development in Ukraine is something you couldn’t even dream of, ruZzian…
