British military analysts consider the ability of the Russian Airborne Forces to gain control over major airports and seaports in Ukraine

102

Discussions continue in the British government on what to do if war really breaks out in Ukraine. At the same time, all the discussions in London on this issue resemble a situation in which the authorities of the United Kingdom themselves have frightened themselves by the war so much (or pretend to have frightened them) that they are ready to believe in it, as they say, here and now.

BBC journalists asked Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab about the possible sending of British troops to Ukraine in the event of hostilities. According to Raab, it is "unlikely" that British troops will be sent to the territory of Ukraine. At the same time, he once again stated that "Russia will face grave consequences in the event of the outbreak of hostilities." Recall that earlier several dozens of special forces soldiers - rangers arrived in Ukraine from the United Kingdom.



In the meantime, information appeared that the British Royal College of Defense Studies was carefully studying "Russia's actions near the borders of Ukraine and its possibilities regarding taking this country under military control." At the same time, British military analysts propose to consider the situation from the point of view of the ability of the RF Armed Forces to quickly gain control over key transport infrastructure facilities. It is noted that the Russian army, using the airborne troops (VDV), is capable of gaining control over major airports and seaports of Ukraine within a few days, which will make it impossible for the Western "partners" of this country to provide it with timely military-technical assistance.

The potential possibility of Russia to cut off for supplies is being considered weapons ports of Ukraine on the Black Sea, taking into account the fact that "the approach to the ports of Ukraine on the Sea of ​​Azov is de facto under Russian control." In such a situation, the command of the Navy will either have to withdraw its ships first to neutral waters, and then ask permission from the countries of the Black Sea region for the entry of warships into their ports, or put up with another loss of at least part fleet, as it was in the Crimea in 2014. When the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation take control of large airfields and airports, the same thing will happen with the Ukrainian military aviation, according to British military analysts.

The British College of Defense Studies also considers the situation through the prism of the fact that the weapons already delivered to Ukraine, including hundreds of millions of pounds worth of anti-tank systems, may ultimately go to the Russian military or “the armed structures of the Donbass regions supported by them.”

    The constant escalation of the situation comes from the West. Especially from the British side. The situation is reminiscent of the period before the First World War. When all parties were waiting for the slightest spark, which eventually slipped through. The feeling that the countries of the West live in the paradigm of the 19th century, believing that the oceans and straits will save them from the war of the 21st century, as if they were passing the cup of nuclear exchange.
    Snickering, self-confident.

        The successes of Russian diplomacy are no better than the economic "successes".
        Only armed conflict can change the situation.
        After all, why are we feeding the Russian army?!
        Maybe it's time for her to do her own business, to defend the country, to defend its dignity.
        Otherwise, the diplomats will once again "get it right" and everything will be even worse, the red lines will turn green, and billions will continue to be plundered and brought to the west.
        It seems that in this world words have ceased to be perceived at all.

              And what about your call to "play war" and Russian diplomacy? How does the presence / absence of success in negotiations lead to the fact that "let's send young guys into battle!"?

                    funny to listen reinsurer-intimidator! laughing ALL understand what nuclear weapons are and real war! So present, especially nuclear, does NOT want war none: neither USA/NATO nor Russia. But no one wants to retreat and give in! What is the way out? Get ahead of the opponent and send troops to Ukraine earlier! The loser, I am convinced, will not fight with the one who is ahead. And don't be fooled words The USA and NATO that they are not going to enter Ukraine: they have deceived more than once! And the operation must be lightning fast, without losses. As in the Crimea. By the way, British analysts - unlike you - they believe that this task is quite up to the Russian Airborne Forces! smile hi

                      You asked what taxes in 65 years.

                      And I gave you an example that in fact you do not pay taxes (you do not deduct them). Otherwise, anything can be pulled by the ears: for example: I pay excise taxes on fuel, because I bought fish in Moscow, which was caught in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk on a ship, the owner of which bought fuel at a gas station, which bought fuel at a tank farm, which bought it at The refinery that processed it from oil and paid the excise! Those. Do you pay excise? So you can grab anything.

                        This is the whole point, that for you it is an indirect tax, and for legal entities it is directly applied. Knowing about the rate, the existence of the tax and seeing it on the check in the store is not enough to understand its essence. You need to know: how it is calculated, when, where, etc. And you need to do this constantly in order to understand its entire structure and its impact on business and the market.
                        Question: the increase in VAT from 18 to 20% - by how much did it increase the burden on taxpayers and how much did it increase the prices of products?

                        About the taxation system, it can be said for sure that the main tax revenues to the budget do not come from individuals, but from legal entities.

          Stop, stop, stop, is this serious? I don’t understand, sorry, but is Zelensky “stealing billions” or national battalions? Maybe American Marines? who should our army pay attention to?
          it’s time for the prosecutor’s office to get down to business, it’s time for the FSB to get down to business, it’s time for federal journalism to get down to business, and not tell for the hundred thousandth time what is happening in this unfortunate Ukraine. Not to mention everyone else, there are already specific bees that are not going to go against honey.
          My opinion is that an open conflict with Ukraine, the introduction of troops into the Donbass, the recognition of the republics will NOT add security to Russian citizens, and certainly will NOT add prosperity to them three times, it will only add another round of tension and chaos in which it will be like a fish in water (unfortunately the only what he can do, but it’s good) for the next 5-10 years our politician, leader and fighter.

          The further into the forest, the more banter. But the current situation is becoming incomprehensible to me. Unlike Vlad, I do not at all consider our leadership to be mindlessly adventurous, ready to come out with the demand "well, quickly get NATO out." With such a requirement, there are two outcomes - either to present something, after which the command "shove" becomes executive, or to sit in a puddle. Our leadership stressed that NATO must execute the command "shove" urgently and on all menu items without exception. However, our opponent launched into negotiations, our press rejoices, but it’s necessary that he didn’t start up (into negotiations) before, but now he started up, which means we are hoo. But the second month has gone, the enemy is delaying the case? meanwhile, he is talking rabid nonsense about aggressive intentions, and at this time he is quickly arming Ukraine according to the very "I don't want to." So what was our government hoping for? The fact that we will present our Wunderwaffe and the enemy will raise his hands up, but at the same time we are hammering into the enemy's head. that we have peaceful intentions, which means that the Wunderwaffe is not in the game. So what was it? Interesting girls dance. But I see a puddle.

            hmm .. it seems that Western experts are not destined to figure out what is happening in the near future, even if those who are tenacious in Russia are already entangled in this information mess.
            There are three equally relevant trends.
            1) Russia is not going to attack Ukraine
            2) in the event of an attempt to resolve the issue with the Donbass by force, Russia will have a forceful response. (The Ministry of Defense is responsible for this trend. It is not advertised much, but the most serious one. Foreign military attachés have been informed about it, without further ado)
            3) if NATO does not remove its infrastructure from the borders of Russia, then retaliatory measures will be taken. (This is apparently being done by the Ministry of Defense and special services. This is definitely not related to the 2nd trend. This is a separate program.)

              I am not ready to discuss the distribution of directives by departments. 1. In diplomatic terms, the loss of pace is obvious, which made it possible to supply a bunch of weapons to Ukraine. This made it possible for our counterparts to demand an exchange of air for our concessions. Type: West: - We are removing weapons recently delivered to Ukraine, and you withdraw troops from the Ukrainian border. The Russian Federation is not ready to agree to your paragraph 2, see your paragraph 2 - a dead end.
              2. It was the deployment of our troops near Ukraine that prevented the attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the Donbass. This is clear even to me, and the military attache should be even more clear. Therefore, a circular motion is formed between paragraphs 1 and 2, and NATO "scat" belongs to later. You can break the circle only by promising the counterpart something unacceptable to them. I don't know what, but obviously not the Wunderwaffe.
              according to paragraph 3 We are waiting. My only hope, but I can't think of anything other than canceling the non-targeting status, but that means brandishing a nuclear baton, and that's a risk.

                Well, there are so many options here. from the admission of some countries to the CSTO with the deployment of military infrastructure there, to the conclusion of a military alliance with China.

                In diplomatic terms, the loss of momentum is obvious, which made it possible to supply a bunch of weapons to Ukraine.


                what pace can we talk about when, on the other side, behind a large puddle, diplomacy threw back its hooves back in the early 90s as unnecessary, because not only the United States, but everyone in the world was sure that the United States would single-handedly rule the world until the end of time.
                Therefore, since the beginning of the 90s, the United States and, in their person, the collective West has replaced its diplomacy with a banal intimidation of everyone and everything. Which, by the way, is doing now, hoping that its frightening dances along with the puppets in NATO will scare Russia so much that it will raise its hands up and rush to them with the offer of negotiations with the signing of the act of surrender.
                I see the Americans have already scared you.

        1. Or the APU will panic with a cry, the Russians surrounded and begin to scatter.
        2. Either the national battalions or other motivated groups will go to liquidate the captured objects and the landing / holding will be bloody + they have already been given stingers, arrows and needles also remained. And transport workers will land equipment and personnel by landing method after the capture of airports by advanced groups. And on takeoff and landing, catching a BTA plane is not difficult.

            If there are airborne landings at several airports, the capture / retention by the airborne forces will be delayed and will be bloody expensive, and in one way or another, the Armed Forces of Ukraine and PMCs of the West will be able to block such landings, crowning the defeat of at least 1 aircraft of the Airborne Forces of the Russian Federation - this will cheer up the linear forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and PMCs and can lead to Western assistance, seeing the incomplete determination of the RF Armed Forces.

          It is not clear why you immediately drop an assault without destroying command centers, air defense and gaining air supremacy. In sum, this gives a loss of control and all these national battalions and so on turn into just a crowd. But this is no longer resistance, although, of course, there will be individual losses.
          But the question is different - why are we entering into a discussion of the situation imposed by the British?
          I can't imagine the option in which we start hostilities. Only if Ukraine arranges a large-scale military provocation. But this is a completely different story. This, as already mentioned, will lead to the loss of statehood for Ukraine, and then, for sure, all forces and means will participate, and also, it will not be correct to consider the landing separately.

This structure will consist of four battalions, and the regiment itself will become part of the Special Operations Brigade. For these purposes, the British Ministry of Defense is ready to allocate more than 160 million dollars, and it is expected to deploy soldiers and officers by the end of the year.
