The German army actually closed part of the Ukrainian sky by placing air defense systems in Poland

The German armed forces have deployed modules of launchers of American Patriot air defense systems in the Polish suburb of Zamosc (Zamosc), located at a distance of 120 kilometers from the border with Belarus and 50 kilometers from the Ukrainian border.


Thus, the German army actually took control of part of the Ukrainian airspace.



The official reason for the deployment of air defense systems was the incident with a Ukrainian missile that fell on the border area of ​​Poland and destroyed a tractor and an outbuilding on one of the farms. Two Polish citizens were also killed.

Ukrainian air defense systems often hit civilian targets both on their own territory and on the territory of neighboring countries. In the very first days after the start of the Russian special operation in Ukraine, reports began to appear about the defeat of a residential building in Kyiv by a Ukrainian S-300 missile. The most massive was the defeat with the help of Ukrainian air defense of a residential building in Dnepropetrovsk, which entailed the complete destruction of a section of a nine-story building and numerous casualties among the civilian population.

As practice has shown, the Soviet S-300 air defense systems in service with the Ukrainian army are not in the best technical condition, in addition, Ukraine lacks specially trained personnel for anti-aircraft systems.

However, by closing part of Ukrainian airspace, Germany was able to shoot down Russian missiles and missiles attacking military targets on Ukrainian territory. Drones. The near future may show whether the NATO members are ready for such hostilities.

            In Turkey, the Russian aircraft was actually on a military mission to kill Turkish-backed Syrians. Russia killed 30 Turkish soldiers in retaliation, the Turks knew it would be very stupid to start a war with Russia over this case and NATO would be very happy in this situation. So they killed 2000 Assad soldiers to appease the nationalists.
            However, in the end, Turkey is never a military partner of Russia. He wants Russia to "return to the 2014 border" in Ukraine, and Erdogan has always been very clear about this. On the commercial/economic side, yes, Turkey is not only a partner, it is probably the most important partner right now.

No, a vigorous loaf is the last shot before death, well, a deterrent tool, not a tool to win a police operation. Russia has enough opportunities to achieve this victory with conventional weapons.

                Imagine, completely in your own. And at the same time, I do not hide my head in the sand shyly calling the real war of the NWO. For whatever one may say, the war is going on on the territory of our state, dismembered in 1991. And on both sides of the front, our people are dying, regardless of how they were brainwashed, and washed by both. Our cities and industry are also being destroyed.
                And the nuclear baton exists in order to stop such a disgrace. For what is the use of it if there is no will to use it. We only draw "red lines", while the West step by step raises the "degree" of this undeclared war.
                And if you do not understand, then nuclear weapons should not be used in Ukraine. The real alternative to such gifts should be realized first of all by the United States.
                However, this sentence of yours:
                Complete irresponsibility to billions of people and the future of all mankind.

            Only a complete idiot can assume that the West wants a nuclear war. Their goal is to quietly and relatively peacefully destroy Russia. Under Khrushchev, the USSR had much less nuclear power than the States, and yet Kennedy backed down. And now the West will get mad to the fullest if something starts with a nuclear bias. It's just that our management is behaving strangely.

      They won't hit. Due to the roundness of the earth. Calculate what will be the height of the radio horizon at a distance of 50+ km. The Patriot is generally not designed to deal with low-altitude targets. So three dragged them to Poland to demonstrate European unity, and not to fight Caliber and Geraniums.

      Well, the caliber of that one still needs to be brought down. This is one facet, the second facet - the launch of missiles from the territory of Poland looks like direct participation in the database of a NATO country.
      Who knows what the reaction of our superiors may be to a question to which it is better not to know the answer.
      In addition, our glorious Air Force does not fly that far, however, because they have never tried to crush the enemy’s air defense (blah blah and some body of movement in this direction is not something serious).

      The servility has reached the point where, in a loud voice, interrupting each other, officials and politicians SUDDENLY (!!!) for no apparent reason, without obvious and visible reasons for rebellion on the part of a Russian citizen more than once dressed in a kukan, outside the political activity of the opposition became to assert that our country is threatened with complete collapse and EVEN (!!!) physical death if our only and unsurpassed guarantor leaves us (for whatever reasons) ...
      This is to what degree of interchangeability it was necessary to jump so that in the entire one hundred and fifty millionth country there was not even a semblance of historical genius ... And who would have thought that within the walls of the office they could not prevent the destruction of the USSR (to which they swore), but they were able to educate an employee, willpower and breadth of mind, which has become both indispensable and the guarantor of our existence at the same time ...

    This means that the calculations for the deployed air defense systems are German. And who makes the decision to destroy air targets? Did the NATO command or cunningly shoved responsibility onto the Germans?

    What do they control there? Cruise missiles can’t see further than 50 km and we don’t fly higher there. The Patriot doesn’t stand close to our air defense, but this does not prevent orcs and UAVs from shooting into the depths of our country and dissecting on airplanes with helicopters. Now, if 20 pieces of complexes were delivered so that there would be a part all the time in the working mode, then yes, we can talk about something, how many complexes we have brought from all over the country, there is nothing like this anywhere in the world, but they still find gaps.

      Herr Minister! Ich stimme Ihnen zu. Aber ich hoffe, dass das deutsche Militär als Fachleute das verstehen, im Gegensatz zu Politikern wie Stoltz und Babok, die versuchen, Deutschland in einen militärischen Konflikt mit unvorhersehbaren Folgen zu verwickeln.

    Over Ukraine and without the help of the Germans, a no-fly zone was actually established for Russian aviation. Alas.

    So, what is next? Will they use on Russian aircraft and cruise missiles? Let's see if they decide or not.

    If the German air defense from Poland works on our aircraft, then this is an act of aggression and war, whatever one may say. But if according to "Caliber", etc., then options are possible here. Most likely there will be a drawing of multi-colored lines.

    The Patriot has a range of 80-100 km for aerodynamic targets. And the distance from the Polish-Ukrainian border is 120 km. Therefore, the expression in the title "actually covered part of the Ukrainian sky" is nothing more than lies and propaganda. In reality, from Poland it is possible to control the sky over western Ukraine with the help of a radar station, nothing more.

    This means that NATO and the Armed Forces of Ukraine can safely place whatever they want at the Yavorovsky training ground.

    Yes, there will be no practical answer .. And the pilots are already afraid ... knowing this .. This was NATO's task. Watching Putin's speech, he drew attention to the fact that those in power turned blue even more, showing their commitment to the ideals of the West ... all that has been said .. in short turned off ...

    Well, the downing of Russian missiles from Polish territory - wouldn't it mean Poland's entry into the war at the official level?

    Something is wrong here. Maybe with the range of the missiles (for example, they do not reach the territory of Ukraine and close only the territory of Poland to the border), maybe with the parameters of the equipment (for example, we are talking only about the radar, and the missiles are installed further - again, so as not to fly out of borders of Poland).
    In general, the news more than requires research and finding out the truth ...

    Thus, the German army actually took control of part of the Ukrainian airspace.

    Well, it's like putting on one sock and bragging about how nice your suit is...
