Ukraine's Military Mobilizes, Prepares For Combat: Trucks, APCs, SAMs, Howitzers, Tanks Rolling Out

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Did somebody say de-escalation?

Earlier today, photos were distributed showing the latest military convoy reinforcements heading into the Crimea, accompanies by a Police car demonstrating Moscow license plate numbers, most likely providing further support to the pro-Russian forces in the peninsula.

 

Supposedly the trucks are carrying troops to reinforces the members of the new Crimean army, pictured below:

 

While at the same time along the makeshift border between Crimea and the mainland, the Pro-Russian forces are putting down minefields.

 

However, the Ukrainians, having already been mobilized for over a week, finally appear set to seize back the offensive:

The first clip below captured the 80th Airborne Regiment out of Lviv moving out, direction mainland, preparing to repel foreign attack.

 

The next video shows what are allegedly Buk SAM batteries deployed in the Donetsk region, a city in Eastern Ukraine which in the past week has swayed between Ukraine and Russian authority.

 

The clip below shows the 95th Airborne brigade also moving out of their barracks in Zhytomyr in western Ukraine, heading East, with an impressive deployment of trucks and APCs.

 

2S19 "Msta-S" 152mm Howitzers on the move to Crimea.

 

Finally, 20 T-64 tanks preparing to depart in Bila Tserkva, a city in central Ukraine:

 

So where again are all those pundits who were so eager to explain away the Ukraine confrontation as one that will promptly be forgotten, and is by now most certainly priced in?

bwhahahahaha. "at least they tried."
they haven't even been invaded yet and you're telling them "surrender!"

You think they protested so they could be the door mat?
We'll see...but that's a LOT real estate the Russians gonna have to secure.
At least I now know why the USA is the way it is.

People in this country prefer the boot to the neck apparently.

Yet three minutes prior to this statement, just a little up the page in comment #4526811, he said:

These folks did nothing wrong...and for that Russia launches a full scale invasion?

Does a sane explanation exist?

Sure. "Putin was envious." He saw a people really taking back their country and rather than respect their quixotic quest he "do stupid instead."

Easy to see these folks as just a pawn of so called "Great Powers" in the region...but don't understatement the power of a call to fight the PTB either. You could wind up getting a whole bag of "mixed nuts" who finally find something of value in their "killing lifestyle." They might take aim a little better, organize their plan with greater detail, excercise more effective communication strategies...liberate and create allies...procreate and create a nation. Suddenly your "nobodies" really does become threat you only saw in your mind (while jokingly referring to them as Our Little Russia.)

This is THE Gift in the world of asymmetric warfare...an endless well of moral high ground from whence a message can be sent out "join us and you can forget about being you the tool for the oppression of others."

This is how Napoleon got his start btw. "Surrounded on all sides and with the country collapsing he ordered an audacious attack against a vastly superior British Fleet and Marine Division...and he won."

I'm sorry, but this is nothing but a bullshit photo-op propaganda stunt. T-64 Tanks ? One step above the Polish Calvary attacking Russian Tanks.
The life expectancy of any unfortunate soul in one of those T-64 tanks on a modern battlefield is about .74 seconds.

I believe that is a mistake. You are most likely looking at these:

They were based on the T-64, but a more capable machine. The boxes on the sides are reactive armor. It will be sporting.

"setting up interior lines of both communication and logistics."
the purpose is not to attack but to defend.

You won't be taking out those tanks by land but by some type of air attack.
Dug in you better have some really good precision guided munitions cuz just one of those tanks can stop your entire movement. "Then your vulnerable to a counter force thrust."

This is much the same problem the USA faced when it invaded Iraq actually...but two things "saved the day"...namely they went right for the capital first and also a huge sandstorm blew up which masked the entire invading Army. Once the US was on the gates of Baghdad Saddam Hussein's leadership didn't believe it...thought the attack was coming from Turkey...move all their defending forces to the North and the USA charged right into downtown Baghdad with almost no resistance.

The defending Armies which the Air Force had claimed to have knocked (but in fact were perfectly operational) suddenly got attacked from behind and were completely annihilated. The Iraqi military has never recovered actually.

Again..."this thing has to go off perfectly"...if any formalized invasion is delayed..or worse..."stopped in its tracks"...any counterstrike would put the "Crimean Independent Army" in a VERY bad position. They'd be completely cut off and surrounded.

In any case "it is was it is." C'est la vie.

"Crimean Independent Army"

initial reports of russina troops seem to end up being "Crimean Independent Army" troops.

It'll take a while to "settle down" in my view. Don't know anything about Crimea other than there are millions of dead buried there.

I've been that kid on the ground...and i'll tell ya'...the love on day one, and it's all downhill from there. This seems very hurried and not well planned in my view...and now reinforcements are coming in to "keep the lid on this thing."

All the food and electricity comes from Ukraine so the lights will be getting shut off soon.
Now you're gonna have to start shipping in fuel so people can cook, clean, etc.
Prices will soar...you have angry "ex Ukrainian military"...who knows what.

This is ugly and taking way too much time.
I mean "minefields"? fer real?

Victory is more related to tactics and numbers.

Superior tanks can be defeated by superior tactics and superior numbers.

But the Russians might have both.

Russia is going to chew up those T-64's the way the US chewed up all the T-72's on the Iraqi battlefield.   

 

Ukraine's order of battle works to keep people away from them, NOT for offensive armored warfare.

We don't know that yet.
They have been an independent country for twenty years.
Obviously they haven't made too many enemies in the Crimea as they had to be dislodged by brute force.
Some are still in command of their forces and bases having "repelled the invaders" I might add.
That's "command and control" bitchez.
You can blockade a fleet...but you can unblockade that fleet too...and give that Captain and his sailors back their command and "freedom to set sail."

No trouble for this Navy finding a port of call. "And now the Russians have an enemy that they didn't have before." A full scale assault on Kiev could create militias that would be very difficult to deal with..."cutting off gas supplies the old fashioned way."

It might be an attempt to head off the referendum on secession in Crimea. If the vote happens, and favors secession by a wide margin, the Ukraine government will lose negotiating posture.

But if the tanks do roll, Gazprom will still turn out the lights. Either way, it's a huge mess.

I think you,re correct. It's a bad angle to judge, but those look like up-armoured T-64s. The reactive armour may save a few, but they won't last long against the newest Russian anti-tank missles. And they would have chances of slim to none taking out a T-80, much less a T-90 (which I doubt the Russians would even bother to send, unless they were already close by).

Also, they had better stop parking their convoys on one side of the road, crammed front to back like that. It would take one fully loaded American A-10 to take out every vehicle in that column. Or one, maybe two SU-25s.

"Kinky Sex Makes The World Go 'Round"

Greetings:This is the Secretary of War at the State Department 
of the United States
We have a problem. 
The companies want something done about this sluggish 
world economic situation
Profits have been running a little thin lately 
and we need to stimulate some growth
Now we know 
there's an alarmingly high number of young people roaming 
around in your country with nothing to do but stir up trouble 
for the police and damage private property. 
It doesn't look like they'll ever get a job
It's about time we did something constructive with these people
We've got thousands of 'em here too. They're crawling all over
The companies think it's time we all sit down, have a serious get-together-
And start another war
The President? 
He loves the idea! All those missiles streaming overhead to and fro
Napalm
People running down the road, skin on fire
The Soviets seem up for it:
The Kremlin's been itching for the real thing for years. 
Hell, Afghanistan's no fun
So whadya say?
We don't even have to win this war. 
We just want to cut down on some of this excess population
Now look. Just start up a draft; draft as many of those people as you can. 
We'll call up every last youngster we can get our hands on, 
hand 'em some speed, give 'em an hour or two to learn how to use 
an automatic rifle and send 'em on their way
Libya? El Salvador? How 'bout Northern Ireland? 
Or a "moderately repressive regime" in South America?
We'll just cook up a good Soviet threat story 
in the Middle East-we need that oil
We had Libya all ready to go and Colonel Khadafy's hit squad 
didn't even show up. I tell ya
That man is unreliable. 
The Kremlin had their fingers on the button just like we did for that one
Now just think for a minute-We can make this war so big-so BIG
The more people we kill in this war, the more the economy will prosper
We can get rid of practically everybody on your dole queue if we plan this right. 
Take every loafer on welfare right off our computer rolls
Now don't worry about demonstrations-just pump up your drug supply.
So many people have hooked themselves on heroin 
and amphetamines since we took over, it's just like Vietnam. 
We had everybody so busy with LSD they never got too strong. 
Kept the war functioning just fine
It's easy. 
We've got our college kids so interested in beer 
they don't even care if we start manufacturing germ bombs again. 
Put a nuclear stockpile in their back yard, 
they wouldn't even know what it looked like
So how 'bout it? Look-War is money. 
The arms manufacturers tell me unless 
we get our bomb factories up to full production 
the whole economy is going to collapse
The Soviets are in the same boat. 
We all agree the time has come for the big one, so whadya say?!?
That's excellent. We knew you'd agree
The companies will be very pleased.

I'd say just about all the Ukrainian troops in Crimea (since they're actually Russian anyhow).

And the boys from the Western Ukrainian division(s)?  Hardly any at all, being the Neo-Nazi's that they are.

You really could split Ukraine in half, which is what the pro-West forces will do with a guillotine rather than let any vote occur.

Correct.

Many years they have been encircling Russia, broken all treaties and now Russia is standing with the back to the wall.

This makes it very dangerous because that is EXACTLY what the globalists wanted: get Russia, the last European country without a ZOG, back under control. Regime change.

Russia is in the same situation as Germany was in the 1930s. Then the Poles began to massacre the Germans in the occupied territory after they received the British guarantee and Germany then was forced to use the military. Same could happen to the Russians in Ukraine now.

With the coup in Ukraine they now have all trumps in their hands. Now they can begin to provoke the Russian bear, while the ziomedia here will portray Putin as aggressor. And when he will be forced to act, the sheeple will hear: "See we told you so!".

 

Always the same method.

Always the same force.

It is just desserts.

 

There is this Iraqi at the Liquor Store. He says Iraq is a shithole. (I do not criticize that...It is) He is 40 Years Old. Most of his life, while growing up, he knew nothing but War...experiencing the bombs and the shellings.

 

First it was the Iraq-Iran War that bankrupted Iraq. That went on from 1980-1988. (Of course the USA was funding...BOTH SIDES)

 

Then, because his nation was bankrupt, it attempted to take the wealth of Kuiwait. Of course Under Secretary Ambassador April Glaspie gave Saddam the go ahead. (His boss and the bosses cousin, whom I have talked with, were there in the US Embassy.)

 

After that Gulf War there was the "No Fly" Zone and crippling sanctions that STARVED a HALF of a MILLION CHILDREN.

 

This was followed by the USA invading in March, 2003, and waging war for another ten years.

 

I wonder why Iraq is a Shithole after 30 years of fucking war?

 

Of course perhaps the USA needs to have the HELL of TOTAL WAR on the Homeland. Then, maybe, they can actually EMPATHIZE and see how it actually FEELS?!? Because it seems as if our society has lost that ability on our degenerative narcissistic, psychopathic path.

 

Thermonuclear War would be "Just Desserts".

 

DID THAT SHOCK YOU? GOOD. WAKE THE FUCK UP. NO MORE WAR !!! (Not direced at TeamDepends or IridiumRebel...It is directed at those whom support war.)

You are fucked more, much more. But you probably did never know it: already your chancellor Adenauer, a great "patriot", flew to Washington and begged for atomic missiles stationed in West-Germany. The Americans were quite surprised to say the least and said: do you know, if this becomes hot, that this probably means the annihilation of the German people? He was fully aware of it.

 

This sick person and all following governments of your country supported the NATO doctrine of atomic destruction of Germany to stop advancing troops of the Warsaw pact.

Never in history a government of a people supported the own people's annihilation only to stop an advancing army and save an alliance.

And wasn't it last week, that your whole German government flew to Israel and kissed Jewish a..es? Didn't Merkel even receive the highest Israeli civilian decoration? This means nothing good for the Germans. But you are only cattle anyway...

Since Jewish groups are already openly lobbying that you reserve a country for them, who know, when such a chance will come ever again for the self declared chosen ones? An emptied Germany would solve a lot of the problems they have right now.

indeed, but can the ussa still fight 'two world wars' simultaneously? europe isn't the power house pre-wwii, in fact their useless. nato forces primarily are made up of ussa and #2 turkey (turkey can't pass the smell test being bogged down in syria and gcc?).

afghanistan is a mess... a quagmire. period! india will side with russia as will china. pakistan will help anybody stick a broomhandle up 'uncle am's ass'!!!

the arab's are in-fighting for their own autonomous existence, whilst the divide-and-conquer cia/al qaeda thesis has blown full-circle-redard,... a backlash sending a clear message that sisi is in russia's arm going back to the good ole days of nasser!?!

not many kids left to fight in america after pakaf and iraq when most are being treated for ptsd and the fucking they got from bush and cheney's 'stop-loss poicy clause'? i'm no senators son... must be resonating like a clarion call to all vfw-- 'go fuck yourself', and those unnecessary bush/cheney call to arms? maybe they should get bush's brother marvin to enlist!!!

cheney's daughte'sr would make great drill sargeants? shit, throw in bush's daughters too!

now, where was i? oh, yeah-- turkey's got a smell-test problem with erdogan put on the 'expiration list'? will he say hello to china and russia. perhaps the caucasus and tatar's can influence his thinking with a little help from jihadist american sanctuary billionaire gulen and his thugs! sharia, all the way to bandar/bush and away??? the saudi's with alittle help from pakistan can surely do another wtc job for uncle sam and his mic's? maybe the big banks this time that clear $6T/daily would help! thos damn iranian's?

but, in the end it's all about hegemony isn't it and the FX! wow, what a gift!!

Jesus, son of God,  is most certainly NOT a zionist:

 

Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place." - John 18:36

 

37"Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling. 38"Behold, your house is being left to you desolate! 39"For I say to you, from now on you will not see Me until you say, 'BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!'" - Matthew 23: 37-39

 

8"Therefore bear fruit in keeping with repentance; 9and do not suppose that you can say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham for our father'; for I say to you that from these stones God is able to raise up children to Abraham. 10"The axe is already laid at the root of the trees; therefore every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. –Matthew 3:8-10

 

Nor is His Father

2 Chronicles 7:19-22 "But if you turn away and forsake the decrees and commands I have given you and go off to serve other gods and worship them, 20then I will uproot Israel from my land, which I have given them, and will reject this temple I have consecrated for my Name. I will make it a byword and an object of ridicule among all peoples. 21And though this temple is now so imposing, all who pass by will be appalled and say, ‘Why has the Lord done such a thing to this land and to this temple?’ 22People will answer, ‘Because they have forsaken the Lord, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, worshiping and serving them—that is why he brought all this disaster on them.’”

Deuteronomy 4:27 The LORD will scatter you among the peoples, and only a few of you will survive among the nations to which the LORD will drive you.

Deuteronomy 28:64 Then the LORD will scatter you among all nations, from one end of the earth to the other. There you will worship other gods--gods of wood and stone, which neither you nor your fathers have known.

Leviticus 26:33 I will scatter you among the nations and will draw out my sword and pursue you. Your land will be laid waste, and your cities will lie in ruins.

Nehemiah 1:8 "Remember the instruction you gave your servant Moses, saying, 'If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the nations,

Psalm 44:11 You gave us up to be devoured like sheep and have scattered us among the nations.

Psalm 106:27 make their descendants fall among the nations and scatter them throughout the lands.

Isaiah 1:7 Your country is desolate, your cities burned with fire; your fields are being stripped by foreigners right before you, laid waste as when overthrown by strangers.

Jeremiah 7:34 I will bring an end to the sounds of joy and gladness and to the voices of bride and bridegroom in the towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem, for the land will become desolate.

Jeremiah 9:16 I will scatter them among nations that neither they nor their fathers have known, and I will pursue them with the sword until I have destroyed them.

Jeremiah 13:24 I will scatter you like chaff driven by the desert wind.

Jeremiah 15:4 I will make them abhorrent to all the kingdoms of the earth because of what Manasseh son of Hezekiah king of Judah did in Jerusalem.

That is just a small smattering of texts that prove the point.

"On putting the probing knife carefully to that kind of abscess one immediately discovered, like a maggot in a putrescent body, a little Jew who was often blinded by the sudden light" (p. 61).

US rabbis avoid clear stance on brain-stem death

"Berman slammed Sacks’s 'declaration that encourages Jews not to donate organs upon brain death but not forbid Jews from taking organs from gentiles who are brain dead' as being 'morally reprehensible.'"

"'Are the lives of gentiles in the UK worth less than those of Jews? If Rabbi Sacks thinks a Jew who is brain dead is alive, is not a gentile who is brain dead similarly alive?,' he demanded on Friday."

Have you been paying attention to the last six decades of history?

The Ukraine Army isn't the one that decides on NATO's involvement or not, NATO does.

And what kind of actions do nations that want a war to start do? Disinformation, provocation, false flags, etc. 

Russia wanted a war to start in Ukraine. Snipers WERE killing Berkut and protesters alike, but not some fantasy 'Opposition Force' snipers. Putin was forcing engagement exactly like Russia did in Georgia: you need casualties on both sides to enrage everyone. The Russian snipers didn't care: Georgian police, Georgian protesters, Georgian soldiers. See the trend? They were all Georgian. Putin's snipers' orders? Take out a few Ukraine police, a few Ukraine DHS Stazi, a few Ukrainian Euromaidan protesters, and a cute, little blonde Ukrainian medic volunteer. They're just garbage Ukrainians to Putin - small price to pay to get things moving. The Estonian conversation was real and snipers were killing both sides; Yanukovych's doctor (where the rumor originated) speculated that it must have been opposition snipers even though the rounds were from Russain sniper rifles from government-held buildings.

Now it's the U.S. psychopath's turn. (Ukrainians don't get a turn at all in this game) The Ukrainian Army will start mixing it up with Russian soldiers/thugs/whatever. Russian will start beating on them. Then the U.S. will push the Full Retard button by deploying Russian cluster bombs, nerve agents or maybe a small tactical nuke. The false-flag Russian tactical nuke is important because both the U.S. and NATO will now claim the obligation to defend Ukraine. The Budapest agreement disarming Ukraine didn't promise to defend Ukraine, only to 'respect it's sovereignity'. The exception is in case of nuclear agression. In that case, the Budapest agreement is a sideshow trumped by all the various other US and NATO agreements. Cluster bombs and nerve agents will be used first. That may be enough. A reluctant American public may eventually require fresh, smoking, radiation-burned bodies of Ukrainian soldiers before being sucked in.

I don't know why the U.S. didn't go Full Retard© in Georgia. Not enough at stake? They didn't know where it was? No oil? Who knows. For Ukraine, I see nothing but a psychopath's wet dream Everything makes a new bloodbath especially timely.

I was being facetious by posing the question to you, trader1. 

As to the first post, yes - I'm finding myself more and more like that all the time. Call it paranoid schizoprehnic or conspiracy theory or whatever. The only thing I'm NOT entirely sure of nowdays is the depth of depravity governments are willing to sink to for *their* psychopathic-induced paranoid schizophrenia. I'll err on the side of caution and simply assume - rightly or wrongly - that *some* of the U.S. actons over the years have been through outright deception or lies, and some of them serve purposes that have nothing to do with defending citizens rights or the constitution.

Pardon my over-the-top nuclear example, but what other particular point do you find insane: that NATO members might desire a hot war to distract an otherwise angry populace in a slow-mo global depression, or that NATO member states are capable and willing to initiate a false flag for some ends just like all the other evil nations they wag a finger at?

i know you were being facetious.

what i don't know is whether or not you take pleasure in mentally masturbating over death, destruction, and depression...

why focus on the negative hypotheticals when there's so much more to be positive about?

Focused? Ha! If this was still the old Fight Club, I would *only* be focused on trying to kick your ass (rhetorically speaking, of course).

I take no 'pleasure' in worrying about death, destruction and depresstion. I focus on negative hypotheticals because when those prove to be true, I'm the one who has to bury the victims and mourn with the survivors. It's painful - right down to the bottom of my soul. So f*king painful that I'll do almost anything to avoid the need to do that over and over again. Risk-reward. Doing something does not mean doing anything marginally supportive and sure as hell doesn't mean doing something utterly useless just to say I did something. There's a Russian Oligarch express train and an EU/US Oligarch express train approaching each other at high speed. Ukraine is a minivan full of people stuck on the tracks right around the point of impact. Do you want me to 'focus' on quality improvements GM has made to their minivan fleet and encourage the Ukrainians to continue trying to start the engine? 

If your strategy of doe-eyed HOPE and positive thoughts still lead to a conclusion of death and destruction, then your strategy sucks. It's fine if you're talking even odds or an entirely random outcome. Nothing wrong with being positive. But that's clearly not the situation here - there are at least two (maybe 20) equally morally bankrupt forces positioning themselves to take advantage of the power vacuum in Ukraine. Putin isn't the only one by a long shot - he just made the first move.

'Being positive' in such a precarious situation is the ultimate mental masturbation. There's a time for patience and understanding and hope, and then there's a time to just bitch-slap the psychopaths back into their evil lairs and let the Ukrainians decide their own fate. Sorry if yelling 'fire' in a crowded theater is upsetting, but the f*king theater IS ON FIRE. Which part of that don't you get?

oh i get what you're trying to say.  i do.  

so, are you in the theater or outside it?

if you're outside it, are you just watching or doing something to stop the fire / rescue the people?

Paveway she was dark haired, this I think will end up with Ukraine being accepted into NATO,

therefore the iron curtain will be on the east of Ukraines border. Until that happens there will be lots of shit about

the Russians in Kharkiv, Donetsk not accepting the right wing overthrow of Mr yanukovich, how can it be right wing when the Prime minister

and president are jews ? Whether the US or Europe give a shit or not the Ukrainians will go for a kamikazee war as they have nothing to lose.

This will not end peacefully and you will have your stock market correction because of this imho.

You're right: http://goo.gl/tL2jeu  The fuzzy hood trim and scarves threw me

I don't think Ukraine ever asked to be in NATO, did they? They might have - I just don't ever recall hearing that. I could see them doing so eventually, but not in like the next week or two. It would seem as futile as if Georgia had asked to be in NATO after the Russians showed up. I don't think it works like that.

The U.S. government and NATO like to grease the skids with some kind of justification (no matter how far-fetched). Like you, I don't think it will end peacefully. It remains to be seen if NATO will make a move. I'm simply suggesting that *if* NATO is committed to jumping in the fray, they will be more than willing to manufacture a pretext for that action, i.e., false flag Russian atrocity.

I'm not saying that's the way this *should* play out. I'm only observing a pattern that is consistent with all psychopath-lead governments. The U.S. government is no more or less morally corrupt than the EU nations or Russia - they would all do this if so motivated. Would the U.S. pay for snipers to kill Berkut and a few Ukrainian Euromaidan protestors? Damn straight they would if they thought it was for some greater good. That greater good coincidentally manages to line their pockets rather well, but they will be the first to insist that this is a mere side-effect of doing God's work.
