Operation Bloodhound - Red Shadow Air Cushion Landing Craft

[Quickfire]

Just autumn in the Donbass ...



The sea turns dark. Soon winter will come.

A lot of people thought this was an EMP in Donetsk last night (live cam pointed by Russian RT channel video service (or whatever subsidiary) RUPTLY towards the airport).



But the power came back on in some places thirty minutes later.

Everyone decided it wasn't an EMP.

This morning they weren't so sure and debated it again... Not fuel-air explosive. Not thermobaric. Was it a large substation or industrial zone's transformers going up or combo?

In the industrial zone next to the airport this ammo factory/dump went up last month.



And a chemical plant hit the month before that.



The Ukrainians holding the airport use the luggage carousels for extra cover. 3mm x2 of metal goes a long way apparently.

Meanwhile in Sweden.

Is Sweden really preping for the Ruskies invading!!! Good grief!

Whole air force moved to the south east in March.

They worry about 'unoccupied' Gotland.

Nordstream flows near unto Moscow's chosen people.

Hence, the waters have turned dark.

And the recon sub off Stockholm was used as a canary to figure out Swedish-NATO* detection and response capacities.

And thus must the tankies now hold until relieved.

Xa.Xa.Xa.



PS. Back c. 98 a Swedish conscript friend of mine decided not to shell Kaliningrad. There wasn't even a war on. Ignored the order and said he couldn't hear the full message. Not long after that all the senior-NCO / Sergeant Major types in their army were finally demobilised and retrained as primary school teachers. Now all of the above want to return and do what they were trained to do. Etc.

PPS. *Don't forget that during the Libya intervention some vulgar NATO-an referred to Sweden as the main NATO contributor or similar to the mission - bombed Libya more than the Marham 4. ..... But they are not in NATO, only partners with no obligations ... although they were very close to the UK in the Cold War despite being neutral, rear area underground HQ was in East Anglia as per 1993 statement! But I think we discussed this all before. .. . .. .

As I've said before it is very worrying, the action by the Russians will, in my opinion, increase further.

Indeed. Next offensive is ready to go in the south east (900 killed during the ceasefire alone...).

Estonia/Finland/Sweden/Balts and Kazakhstan all edgy (Estonians have had one counter-intel guy kidnapped, now on trial in Russia). However, am not particularly fond of Estonians, will omit that detail.

And any number of military aircraft with their transponders off are going to kick off something either by design or accident.

Oh yeah, Russia has based air-to-air tankers in Egypt now, for Med and Atlantic ops.

Unless there is a change in (their) leadership, it seems we are heading for some form of conflict. I do find it worrying.

18 November 2014. Moscow. Nezavisimaya Gazeta. Formerly liberal newspaper, now under state media control.



Britain is Russia's chief enemy ... citing 500 years of (false) history.

... Like us being the only two ultimately on the same side in all the great wars of the Modern era, the original Great War against Napoleon, World War I, World War II. That scheiss used to count for something.

And so much of the century of future wealth p**sed away 39-45 at extortionate rates payable to the iron foundries of Detroit and the masonic temples in Washington that went thence unto the Soviet Union between 41-43 on the one-way Arctic convoys. For free (excluding the human factor of course, but then, all conscript labour is free in the East).

By leveraging UK the siloviki think they can exploit DE-UK public opinion on various levels. Funny how they still think the UK is in someway relevant. Only at domestic levels in DE. Perhaps.

Seeing as German language newspapers from Zürich to Karl Marx Stadt are full of Ossies bewailing the fraternal benefits of pre-89 Europe during the last months it is not a surprise.

And all because noone ever flew a f*cking stars and stripes at Maidan.



PS. All this despite being old enough to remember Alpha taking out the Islamic Union of Uzbekistan's HQ in Kabul about five minutes after Kabul's technical 'liberation' by but a scrotum-coat of Allied forces. What a coincidence that was. But that cooperation is now but a rare footnote in a number of ever skeined-histoires.
