Just a few days ago mentally retarded Joe Biden surprised the world by authorising the Ukrainians to shoot long range missiles into Russia. Which the Ukrainians promptly did by shooting British supplied Storm Shadow missiles into Kursk and Bryansk in Russia. They shot six missiles of which five were shot down by the Russians and one did not do much damage. Joe Biden has only 58 days left in the White House and the convention is that a president-in-transition should not initiate major policies when he is already on his way out. By any measure authorising shooting long range missiles into Russia is certainly a major escalation of hostilities.
The Russians promptly replied by shooting their own intercontinental missiles into Ukraine. They accurately hit a weapons plant at a place called Dnipro.
There is a brief video here (three minutes plus) which shows the nuclear capable Russian missiles with "mirvs" or "multiple independent re-entry vehicles". It is a scary video. The MIRV here simply means multiple warheads (6 to 10) carried by each missile which separate as the missile leaves the upper atmosphere and then travel on their own to hit different targets. In this case the MIRVs used were conventional warheads - of course not nuclear.
You
can hear President Putin speaking in the video where he says the use of long range missiles into Russia was indeed a serious escalation. He also says that
Russia has the capacity to inflict serious damage with its own missiles
including the new Oreshnik missile. The West simply does not have any anti missile shield to protect themselves
from Russia's hypersonic missiles.
The comical part of this short video shows the British general who proclaims that Britain is prepared to fight against Russia "tonight". The guy must be real nuts.
As I have repeated many times before it is the British who are behind the war in Ukraine. Just listen to that British general in the video. No other European military commander has said that they are ready to fight Russia at a moment's notice. Why would they say that?
The total strength of the British
Army is about 70,000 soldiers, all ranks. This includes cooks and admin staff.
This is less than the capacity of Wembley Stadium (90,000). The British Army has only THREE divisions - as the British general says. This means all three divisions are understaffed (a division should have 30,000 men each).
The British Airforce has about 30,000 personnel and the Royal Navy also has about that same number - again all ranks.
The
Russian Army has 700,000 battle hardened troops in active combat on the
ground in Ukraine since 2022. Plus it has started snowing on the
steppes. The Russians were born and raised on the steppes.
- The British air force has 137 of the 30 year old Typhoons as its backbone fighter.
- The Russian air force has 1,500 state-of-the-art combat aircraft with new jets added almost everyday.
- The British Navy has about 34 combat vessels including 16 "in-shore" patrol vessels. Some are made of aluminium (like the HMS Sheffield) and easily combustible. If they can sneak up, the British subs can sink very large targets like the Belgrano.
- The Russian Navy has about 200 combat vessels and 64 submarines. Their submarine force is formidable.
Here is a video (48 minutes) featuring Russian super-hawk Andrei Martyanov. Martyanov gives a detailed breakdown of what is happening, strategy wise, in Ukraine. He is ex-military and has detailed knowledge of the weapons used. The video does not upload. Here is the link : https://www.youtube.com/live/ALuHxkUDaDY?si=tv8ttH0q37tfKOia
Martyanow says that even Turkey produces 10 times more steel than the UK. Meaning the UK is now a second rate military and industrial power. The sun has set.
