"Storm-2018" is the state of Ukraine: experts ridiculed Kiev military exercises

35
28 August in Ukraine began the naval exercises "Storm-2018", which caused a condescending smile on most experts. The official version sounds like this: working out defensive actions, but many political scientists are inclined to believe that this is a preparation for offensive actions in the southern direction and Petro Poroshenko’s attempt to improve their political positions by the beginning of the presidential campaign in order to go to a “small victorious war”.




However, such a political move is ridiculous. State Duma deputy Ruslan Balbek compared the Ukrainian exercises with an attempt to solicit a “membership card” to NATO.

“Storm-2018” is an attempt to remind the military alliance that Square has a fleet, ”he says.

According to the deputy, Ukraine has no chance to enter the "closed club" of NATO, and emphasizes that there will be no entrance ticket. Instead, the admirals "sniff" the sea, but do not dare to approach the Russian territorial waters, so as not to go to the bottom.

Political analyst Vladimir Karasev notes that Ukraine simply decided to flex its muscles, but no one noticed these muscles.

According to the director of the Center for Strategic Analysis of the Institute for Innovative Development Andrei Ivanov, the exercises look ridiculous, because fleet Ukraine has not had such a thing for a long time.

“The teachings are like the attempts of a sparrow to introduce themselves as an eagle,” the expert concludes.

Political analyst Ivan Arkatov noted, despite the deplorable state of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Ukraine decided to do the exercises:
"Storm-2018" is a very interesting title. The country, at least, has already stormed four years. Storm is the state of Ukraine as a whole.

Earlier, the ex-Minister of Defense of Ukraine Igor Kabanenko commented on the state of the Ukrainian fleet, noting that the country had two combat-ready ships, each of which requires capital investments.

      Weapons in the hands of a savage are always dangerous, and any - even if so old and imperfect. A wild dog bites and it would be better for her to pull her teeth out altogether, if we are too shy to shoot.
      The murder of Zakharchenko today proves this.

    Very unhealthy draft at the ship ... request
    This is either a floating colander or a smugglers' ship before entering the port for unloading. And to make a rocket salvo from him, he’ll have to be aground laughing

    Well, why so. When these RCAs were Soviet, they were not considered scary. Why are they now scary? Because Ukrainian?

    I immediately remembered a popular saying: "If you are, then don't tell anyone about it." Krajina constantly talks about this to the whole world, someone sees it, and the Europeans shyly close their eyes with their hand.
