Watch As Russian Troops Fire Warning Shoots Against Ukrainian Soldiers In The Crimea

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Amicable resolution between Russia and the Ukraine as the market seems to be suggesting, or not? Watch this clip of what happened just hours earlier at the Belbek air force base, in which Russian troops fired warning shots aat approaching Ukrainian soldiers and you decide.

From Euronews:

Russian forces fired warning shots in to the air as ranks of unarmed Ukrainian soldiers marched towards them at Belbek air base in Crimea on Tuesday (March 4).

 

Russian troops backed by armoured personnel carriers took over Belbek military airport near the port of Sevastopol last Friday (February 28). Russia's Black Sea fleet is based in Sevastopol.

 

On Tuesday a column of Ukrainian soldiers marched towards the Russian forces while chanting and carrying the Ukrainian flag. As they approached the line of armed Russian soldiers and military vehicles guarding the base, the Russian forces fired warning shots into the air and warned them not to approach any further.

 

Once the Ukrainian soldiers reached the line of Russian forces, the Ukrainian and Russian commanders spoke as armed Russian soldiers surrounded them. There were no incidents.

Luckily, this time there were no injuries and the Ukrainians retreated. What about next time?

Ukrainian soldiers were carrying Ukrainian yellow/blue flag and SOVIET RED FLAG. I don't know what's written on it, but it is an old Soviet Flag.

1 - BHO tells Putin he will have flexibilty after the election.

2 - ACA puts huge stress on the US economy.

3 - US backs a coup attempt in Ukraine.

4 - Putin sends in the troups.

5 - BHO puts sanctions in place, despite a warning from Putin that will result in a Russian default on Western debt.

6 - Dollar crashes, Western Banking system crashes. The scales are evened in a master move to global socialism. SDR becomes new global currency. US is brought down just as BHO and his ilk planned.

It is either this, or BHO is in over his head. Not sure which scares me more.

Also what a freakin staged event, trying to get young men killed for a photo opportunity, just shows you how vile the scum in the west is trying to set up a massacre so that they can they broadcast all over the world.  If i was the Russian guy I would of emptied my clips into the reporters.

Perhaps, but if you intend to mow down a crowd with an automatic weapon (particularly an AK)- you have more control if you're not simultaneously fighting the laws of physics as well as your adversaries.

The fact that the western reporters probably outnumbered the Ukrainian soldiers is what got the Russian guy all itchy with his trigger finger LOL. The Ukrainian guys were in formation, but the reporter were the ones swarming and trying to outflank the Russians.

I believe the best possible outcome for this crisis is for the Russians to get a Referendum going for the local population as quickly as possible. Whne the public decides, then they should let the Ukranian Army leave with their equipment while allowing them to save some measure of dignity.

The Russians can still get satisfactory results from this even if they allow the Ukranians that do not want to be involved with Russia an avenue to retreat in their own territory.

If Ukranians mount a counter-attack, then by all means, use the force required to push them back. The demonstration illustrated in the video seemed to me about wanting to keep some form of dignity. The Ukranians were not stupid enough to show up armed. They would have gotten all killed if they did.

As I have stated before, no matter how stubborn you are, it is not a good idea to mess around with Russians...

No need for the Russians to do that. Prior to the weekend's "invasion" the Crimean authorities had already scheduled such a referendum for May 25th. It has since been moved up to March 30th.

So, there are provocations now. Guess what would have been in USA or better still on USA base in Iraq, when you have a bunch of military guys walking to you with video cameras (several teams, by judge of it). When I say to you, I mean to a security post, which is before an airbase or some othe military installation, which is seen behind.
Here, the soldiers just fire in air, promising to shoot into legs, as they have an order.
Do not forget, that Russia has a very signinficant presence in Crimea. Also, it is still impossible to tell if it is Russians or Crimea selfdefence force. Judging by the weapons, it is not Sepcial Forces or VDV guys, it is more like a regular army, or Crimeans.

The warning shots weren't for the troops, they were for the camera man.

I don't think those were Russian regulars.  I think they were Ukrainian "self defense forces" made up of ethnic Russians who are likely coordinating with Moscow.

If something like this goes south, and we all know the US would love for that to happen, it would be better if Putin can say that it involved only Ukrainian nationals.

Regardless, keep your eye on the big picture. 

The fuckery will continue until the peoples of the world revolt against the Global Banking Empire.

O/T:

Really, there isn't an American company that could do this?

Israeli defense firm wins $145 million contract from US Department of Homeland Security.

How completely owned by an Israeli 5th Column is DHS.  I suspect Chertoff and Lieberman never really "left" and like treasury and state, dhs is Israeli-occupied territory.

Last week, Republican Senator John McCain of Arizona, released a statement welcoming the contract.

“Arizonans have been waiting more than a decade for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to place the needed technology along our border to support the Border Patrol and fully secure our southern border,” he said.

“After many months of delay, the awarding of this contract to Elbit Systems of America is an important development toward fully securing the border in Arizona. If this technology is developed, integrated and fielded correctly, these Integrated Fixed Towers in southern Arizona, coupled with the tremendous work of the Border Patrol, will give our agents the ability to detect, evaluate and respond to all illegal entries crossing our border,” McCain stated. “The American people have long expected us to secure our borders.

The awarding of this contract is a step in the right direction.


If there is any justice left in the universe, may some of it be held aside so that Senator McCain receives it in its full measure before the end, and may he die behind bars.

One has to wonder, how does one procure arms and 400 kilos of explosives?  My guess is the local supermarket probably does not stock those items.

Walking unarmed into small arms fire... that takes some SERIOUS sack. Warning shot or no. After the shots are fired, one of the Ukrainians shouts "Go go go."

Yeah, it's all cute acting the fucking wiseass in your barkalounger. The flippancy on this board is astounding. I thought there were more military vets and firearms owners here. WTF.

Seems the senior command was in on the bases being taken over, but the middle and lower ranks have different ideas on the matter. Well well well... that changes everything.

Hat off to the Ukrainians. I seriously thought the entire Ukrainian armed forces were gonna roll over and defect to the Ruskies given their close military history... but if the Ukrainians intend to make it a fight, that's a whole different ballgame.

Maybe Vlad bit off a bit more than he could chew.

If they intended to fight, why haven't they started?  If they intended to fight, why march unarmed as at best a stunt?  I do not see an intention to fight.  What I see is acceptance with just enough protest to keep their honor.

Just a scene for the camera. Only one histerical guy shouting "Go! This land is ours!" (those with the camera, i suppose). Others were... khm, "not enthusiastic". At best.

Only after the commander said to Russians "that's our battle banner, we fought together in 1941 with it! Do you really gona shoot?", and Russians acknowledged, the man with ukranian banner dared to go foward.

All in all - just a provocation. Someone hoped to capture bloodshed in send it to CNN. Sick faggots.

P.S. "Russians" are paramilitary, that's obvious.

That is the first guy you drop, its the big macho guys saying go go go, like you said most likely the cameraman or reporter looking for the shot, but the 'shot' id of given the camera guy would of been between the eyes.
