Ukraine Crimea build up - split

Post by hammarö »

Ukraine transfer S-300 to the borders against Russia.

Russia certainly do the same, as their SAM defence are very weak against the border against Ukraine. Only a SAM regiment defending Voronezh-altimor airbase. Most of the SAM regiments are defending Moscow.

Crimea has also a weak air defence with a S-300 regiment.

The Buks used by Georgia were very succesful against Russian aircraft 2008. This Buks came from Ukraine.

Where is also information of a storage with tactical nukes in Borisoglebsk area. US satellites have information on many aircraft movements to nearby air base. Also a pair of bombers type Tu-22/Tu-160 on base.

Since when is Joint Warrior connected to the Crimea crisis?
And what have Belgium, Denmark, Greece, the Netherlands, Sweden and Turkey to do with Joint Warrior?

And by the way, and this is valid for the whole topic, Swedish newspapers and news agencies are certainly not among the neutral media regarding Crimea! On the contrary!
