The British general called the Russian trump card, capable of instantly turning the tide of the special operation

Russia has a trump card with which it can turn the tide of the special operation. According to British General Richard Barrons, until today Moscow has not used it, apparently saving it for the spring offensive.

The Russian command has one trump card that can instantly change the situation on the battlefield, turning the course of the special operation in favor of Russia. We are talking about a massive air attack, the task of which will be to suppress the air defense of Ukraine. According to British intelligence, Russia has already concentrated a large number of aircraft, helicopters and drones, using about 40 airfields for this.



According to the general, Russia is preparing a massive air attack during the spring offensive, which may have already begun. Together with planes and helicopters, they will also attack drones-kamikaze to suppress the Ukrainian air defense system, which means turning the tide of the special operation.

Russia's trump card is its air force. Until now, during the special operation, they were practically not used. (...) It may be that when they get to the right stage in this offensive, we will see much more activity of their Air Force

- said Barrons in an interview with the British edition of the Daily Star.

Meanwhile, Kiev is preparing for its own offensive and is awaiting the delivery of heavy armored vehicles from Western sponsors. Ukraine cannot rely on aircraft, as it practically does not have them, so the stake will be placed on German Tanks and artillery. Well, also for a new mobilization. Until the end of March, Kyiv intends to put under arms at least 250 new military personnel.

    It is already approximately clear how events will develop. The Kyiv regime will go for broke. He is pushed to this by the Americans, who said that their resources are not infinite and public opinion, whose support is being lost in the States due to pre-election criticism of the Republicans and in Europe. yesterday, in front of the Russian embassy, ​​they installed a tank, allegedly shot down and captured in Ukraine, so the Germans threw off a yellow-black rag from it and spontaneously began to bring flowers in memory of the dead crew and children of Donbass. a multi-thousand anti-war rally was also held, against the supply of weapons to the former Ukraine.
    Therefore, for a number of others, I think that in the near future, at the front, the enemy will begin a series of offensive operations. Moreover, they can be multi-vector. for example, a strike from the Kharkov region, with a simultaneous attack on Melitopol and, at the same time, a provocation on the border of Transnistria, followed by an operation to seize military depots in Kolbasnaya.
    One thing is for sure, the spring-summer campaign will also take place in the maneuvering phase. The parties have prepared forces and means for this and are in need of it.
    I hope that this time, the command has prepared operational mobile reserves and the enemy’s offensive will end with a cauldron according to the example of Debaltsevo or Ilovai.
    it is obvious that reserves were prepared by both sides. now there is a war of nerves. On the part of the enemy, political leadership and overseas sponsors demand results. Although they want the regime to improve its negotiating positions and then they are going to freeze the conflict in the negotiations on the Korean scenario.
    For our part, public opinion is putting pressure on the military leadership. Moreover, both the patriotic-minded, require victorious success in the NWO, and the skeptical, demand to show their military viability, which has been declared more than once before.
    But here the one who starts first will lose. It will mark the direction of the main attack and allow the enemy to concentrate forces and use reserves more efficiently. In fact, if the Artemov epic is compared with the Stalingrad period, then something like the Kursk Bulge is ahead. And just as for the Third Reich, defeat in this exchange of offensive blows for the Kyiv regime could be fatal. For Russia, failure will only delay victory for some time and require additional resources.
    One thing is for sure, the spring-summer period will also be in the maneuvering phase again.

      We are waiting for tanks and other things or provocations in Transnistria ..
      Russia is very angry and will go to the end in the fight against the hegemony of the United States and other traitors .. There, satellites can blind, etc.
      We take care of our soldiers, we have few real sons of the Fatherland, for many the soul has hardened from Western propaganda and other tolerance ..

        I found interesting information. But how true is it?

        Russian aviation is increasingly using air bombs in the NMD zone with the possibility of flight correction. The domestic analogue of the American JDAM, although created in rather artisanal conditions, performs its function with dignity. Aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces strike at enemy targets without entering the air defense coverage area. The telegram channel Fighterbomber writes about this.


        . For four months now, bombers, fighters and long-range aircraft have been operating with guided weapons from distances inaccessible to enemy air defense. Only aviation of "musicians" goes purely for classic bombing with "uncontrolled cast iron"
        - the author writes. The analogue of the American JDAM in the Russian version is called UMPC (unified set of planning and correction modules). The cost of domestic know-how, according to the source, does not exceed 2 million rubles, which is significantly cheaper than overseas ammunition. At the same time, the efficiency of FAB-500 with UMPC is very high.
        It is used almost every day, many times a day, and not one bomb at a time.
        – said the blogger.

          Along the way, our Aerospace Forces will soon begin to massively use such tactics .. The soldiers need to be protected, and indeed effectively .. That's it, the West, NATO has declared war on us in fact and lethal weapons are already being pumped to the fullest ..

              The main thing is that powerful air defense systems are deployed in Ukraine.
              A massive attack, of course, will crush them (a massive attack, many times greater than the capabilities of the defense, generally always wins, except in cases of incorrectly assessed defense). That's just the victims will be doxpena. And the attackers.
              Ukraine will be given new air defense. Russia can only make new aircraft itself.
              So, it seems, the Angles are trying to breed us for heavy losses.

                  For every tactic there is a counter-tactic.
                  We crush them with drones and anti-radar missiles.
                  The Armed Forces of Ukraine have long learned to turn on only a small part of the radars, surrounding them with powerful air defense. As a result, even in the event of a successful attack, a new radar is quickly installed to replace the destroyed one. And new radars are supplied to them.
                  So in the event of a massive strike, a significant part of the air defense will remain intact, since it will be hidden and not active.
                  And the British, by the way, just "advise" Russia to deliver one powerful blow instead of methodical extermination. And not so much drones as manned aircraft and helicopters.

              We left those territories as a result of defeats, not gestures of goodwill. The country's leadership has completely failed in intelligence and analytics. We thought how we would enter with Crimea in 2014. Therefore, they went in columns. Anniversary today of the tragedy in Kharkov. Then the main forces did not enter the city. The delegation with bread and salt was probably expected. As a result, we have shelling. If we had Kharkov, then Donbass would have already been liberated.

            I didn't understand either. The KAB-500 family (guided aerial bomb; 4 types: with indices Kr, OD, L and S) was put into service in 1975. That is, in the days of the Union, and talking about "artisanal methods" is somehow incorrect. And there is also the KAB-250 family (KAB-250S-E, KAB-250L and KAB-250LG-E).
            I already wrote that I do not see the use of the Russian Aerospace Forces. There are no bombardments of the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, no attacks on the approaching reserves, on roads, bridges, etc. Especially since new SVP-24 Gefes sighting systems have appeared that can accurately lay down AB.

              This is if in Syria on barmaley or in Africa, where there is neither air defense nor aviation. Bombing from a flight in / out is absolutely not an option, these are not colonial wars, for which the "Hephaestus" is intended.
              KAB now is the very thing. But for mass use, pilots must master working with them. By spring I think they will be ready.
              They will also appear in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but they need aviation, and she does not live near the LBS for a long time.

          It is used almost every day, many times a day, and not one bomb at a time.

          FAB-500 with UMPK "Basalt" was presented at an exhibition in India in 2003, and then at MAKS-2009 in Russia. So this module is real and already fully developed.
          Surprisingly, an ordinary aerial bomb turns into a kind of cruise missile. Depending on the configuration with control modules, the MPK ensures that targets are hit without entering the air defense zone from extremely low altitudes of 50-100 meters at a distance of 12 to 100 kilometers! This is serious ammo.

            Do you think that with a bomb drop height of 100 m, she will be able to glide as far as 100 km? As far as I know from overseas bombs, in order for it to fly 100 km, the drop height should be about 10 km.

              Plus, ours are distinguished by the worst aerodynamic quality. But they brought a picture with the launch of planning bombs "from a hill." The plane goes at a very low altitude, then turns up the nose, gives maximum thrust and drops the bomb. At the same time, the aircraft does not gain much altitude, if it leaves behind the radio horizon, then not for a long time, and the bomb, having separated and spreading its wings, continues to climb by inertia itself, and, accordingly, it plans for a long distance (not 100 km of course) being launched from small height.

            I propose to look at the photo and performance characteristics of this bomb on Wikipedia and understand that it does not fly, but glides slightly. A bomb is not a missile. There is no talk of any 100 km, even if you drop it from a height of 10 km. Target correction for FAB-50kr by GOS, and for FAB-500s by Glonass satellites within hundreds of meters on the sides and with an accuracy of 4-7 meters hitting the target ..

            Banderlogs have said more than once about Belgorod. Here is the danger of this direction. A large gray zone, a well-explored area, the possibility of a quick retreat to Kharkov and we have a so-called bypass section, which slows down the transfer of reserves. But from a military point of view, capture or attempted capture not advisable. Again, a gray zone, the need for significant forces on a narrow section of the front. Overcoming a defense line with more than one fortification. A dubious success, but a lot of forces will be put in.

      a similar scenario is likely, when Western curators give the go-ahead for an attack towards Melitopol, they will get bogged down after achieving initial successes, since our command will use the same tactics as in the defense of Swatava
      >1 retreat from the first line of defense
      >bombard our old positions
      >Send motorized rifle brigades to crush resistance and capture lost territories.

      Thank you for your comment. We don't have many truly wise people. I will try to complete you. For a mobile war, Russia clearly lacks the size of a combat-ready army and there are no visible attempts to build it up (carry out another mobilization). There are three explanations, in my opinion. Version number 1. The NWO was conceived as a joint operation with China and implies the presence of its extensive military-technical assistance, followed by joint economic development of the liberated territories. If so, then the planned visit of the Chinese leader will be followed by the supply of Chinese weapons, uniforms and a second wave of mobilization.
      Version number 2. Russia has exhausted its resources and is planning a "negotiation". Then some demonstrative tactical victories are possible to improve the negotiating position, where the US and China will act as guarantors, respectively. An important sign of the implementation of this scenario will be a drastic cleansing of the media space. All "patriots" like Strelkov will be neutralized in one way or another in order to properly process the public consciousness. Version number 3. NWO is a screen for preparing the country for a thermonuclear war, the purpose of which is to inflict a strategic defeat on the United States and its allies. Let me remind you that the GDP let slip before the start of the NMD that the issue should be "resolved" now, while there is an advantage in strategic weapons. It is clear that resolving the issue in this way will solve the problem of Russia's safe development for a long time and in a cardinal way. If this option is accepted, then there will be no more mobilization. For such a war, it is not so much the number that is important, but the training of the troops. Russia will deliberately be on the defensive, expressing ridiculous "concern" and demonstratively foolishly fighting in Ukraine until a fatal blow is prepared. And this strike will begin with the mass destruction of the NATO satellite constellation.

        Yes, we will develop for a long time and safely. And the United States will definitely not be afraid of us. The main questions will be where to sharpen the spear and how to defend against wolves :)

        They wanted a quick victory, counting on the 5th column in Ukraine. It didn't work out.
        Now it looks more like dragging out time, with the expectation of growing discontent among the population and the military burden on the economy of Western "partners".

    We are talking about a massive air attack, the task of which will be to suppress the air defense of Ukraine.

    If the Russian Aerospace Forces did not conduct such an air operation throughout 2022, then the Russian Federation does not have such an opportunity.

    Moreover, the supply of new air defense systems from the west to Ukraine by the Russian troops by the offensive from Belarus to Moldova has not yet been blocked - they will bring more air defense systems through the open western border of Ukraine - it's like carrying water in a sieve.

      It means that the Russian Federation does not have such an opportunity.

      There is undoubtedly a possibility, but with focal air defense not suppressed, there will undoubtedly be tangible losses as well .. And so far, it seems that our leadership is not ready to exchange the success of an offensive operation for, say, 100-150 aircraft. For non-current aviation is an extremely expensive thing, and it will take a very long time to make up for such damage. Against the background of the fact that it is not very clear what to expect from expensive Western partners, apparently such a price is still considered unacceptable ..

    Most of all in Russia, the generals are afraid of the final victory of Russia in this operation.
    So long ago it would have been possible to send Petrov and Bashirov to "derail" all NATO assistance and block Russian raw materials for ukrov.
    It is possible to bomb Kyiv with air strikes as soon as in 41.
    But then they will immediately start looking for and punishing all Russian thieves, traitors and oligarchs who are squeezing out foreign business and earning their billions on it, substituting our soldiers as cannon fodder.

      Sorry, your thesis is not very clear. Who will begin to find and punish Russian thieves, traitors and oligarchs? I mean, for example, thieves, did they steal something in Russia? so they will be found and punished by the Russian government for this, in the sense of stealing? or vice versa the global west? so isn't it beneficial for the West that they steal from Russia? it seems like orders should then be given to them for this? and now I would like to understand about the traitors. These traitors betrayed whom? if Russia and the Russian government or the people find them and punish them, then it seems to be good * and if the West finds them and punishes them, is that also not bad? and if it was stolen in the west, then why should we find them and punish them? And now, about squeezing out foreign business, is it sort of like nationalization by the hands of private individuals? like this is a positive phenomenon since the company is foreign? or still not? whatever one may say in your forecast, some one solid positive is obtained.

        And if we start talking about India, then how the sale of weapons by India has grown more than 10 times. I note that exports to India come mainly from Russia.
        The media immediately stop such statements, but even in the Duma, there are patriots talking about the impoverishment of the people. In response, the government modestly shuffles its foot, complaining about the lack of funding for inspections.

If there is no discount. And it is very interesting what kind of arms sales is this? like they refused to purchase helicopters. Contract broken? maybe we are selling something else? for example? is there any information? By the way, what kind of secret patriots are they talking about the impoverishment of the people, and even in the Duma eating on the deputy salary. From any party, at least give me a hint! or these as their independent candidates? and that the government is really complaining that there is no money for checks? right Mishustin himself or some other patriot? I understood you correctly, the government wants to carry out some kind of check, well, either at discounts on oil or on arms sales, but they don’t give money. By the way, who doesn't give = the government doesn't distribute the budget itself? do not allocate themselves? full of riddles!

      By the way, unlike many others, I do not classify Poland as a limitroph. Balts - yes. Those more mutts. And Poland is doing what is beneficial to it, very skillfully playing on the interests of the US and the EU.

    It is better to continue to destroy objects and air defense with missiles with drones, it is cheaper and more efficient.

    Before that, they didn’t suppress air defense, why would this happen now? Massive use of aviation will not work, losses will increase significantly, taking into account the meager production of new aircraft, they will not do this. Without adjustable air bombs that can be used without entering the air defense zone, there is no point in a massive attack. There are no prerequisites ....

      You are wrong. During the war years, British scientists (without sarcasm) suggested that the British Air Force bombard Germany with as many aircraft as possible at a time, and not in waves, but in one raid, placing bombers in several echelons to reduce losses from anti-aircraft fire. The pilots were indignant, saying that there would be losses from their own bombs, but they followed the recommendations and ... losses decreased significantly. Let me explain with an example - there is a warehouse guarded by 10 anti-aircraft guns and there are 10 bombers. When will there be fewer losses during the destruction of the warehouse, when to send one plane at a time to bomb or send ten at once?

    Of course, it would be beneficial for them - any massive air attack is a loss. and they are not quickly replenished. It is best that Russia itself put the VKS in attacks, where the air defense of suckers will work in the ideal mode for them - from ambushes, and the detection will be assigned to AWACS in Poland, over the Black Sea and in Lithuania!
    They will put the Aerospace Forces, front-line aviation will fly as it did - their enemy is MANPADS, but on battered fighters and bombers - they will immediately begin deliveries of suddenly "found F-16s, along with" quickly trained "crews from Iraq.
    But to hell with you - how they gouged with missiles, so we will - here the AWACS does not dance, you have to turn on the radars on the ground - and they are knocked out. But because they are beaten out - that's arrogant and fidgeting with idiotic proposals

    In fact, the world knows practically no successful examples of air defense suppression operations. Of the most famous successful: the Persian Gulf War and the Lebanese War. Well, the 2nd Karabakh war is an example of the next generation of SEAD.

    Already in Yugoslavia, the NATO air defense suppression operation actually failed: 743 HARMs were fired during the 78-day campaign, but only 3 out of 25 SA-6 batteries were confirmed destroyed. At the same time, Yugoslav forces fired more than 800 SAMs at NATO aircraft, including 477 SA-6s and 124 MANPADS, resulting in only two aircraft being shot down and several more damaged. The capitulation of Yugoslavia was caused by the desire to save the economy and infrastructure of the country from destruction (in which the leadership of the UG is completely indifferent).

    The subsequent actions of Western aviation in the world for the most part ignored (or did not separately concentrate on it) the task of suppressing air defense, because. were carried out in the face of ever-increasing superiority in the means of high-precision long-range target destruction (without entering the air defense zone).

      Suppression of air defense is not the destruction of the largest possible number of enemy air defense systems, but ensuring the safety of the actions of one's Air Force.
      Of course, with such a balance of power that was in Yugoslavia, the result was predictable, but it is wrong to write that the operation failed.

        The fact of the matter is that the NATO Air Force was mainly involved in the confrontation with the air defense of Yugoslavia, and not in performing other tasks. As a result, the Yugoslav Armed Forces as a whole did not suffer significant damage, and air defense in particular. Another thing is that NATO attacked civilian and transport infrastructure (terror and destruction of the country) in order to achieve the fulfillment of its requirements, and the operation itself was successful in this sense.

    in the near future, the enemy will launch a series of offensive operations at the front. Moreover, they can be multi-vector. for example, a strike from the Kharkov region, with a simultaneous attack on Melitopol and, at the same time, a provocation on the border of Transnistria, followed by an operation to seize military depots in Kolbasnaya.

    This is the writing of the English newspapers on Saturday morning. laughing
    What multi-vector attacks can a Ukrainian execute? Since the autumn they have not been able to take Kremennaya, although there was every chance for this at that time. They were stopped by Bars - men who are over forty years old. Now, not like Ukraine, we cannot launch a full-fledged offensive. The promised tanks will be given no one knows when, and even if they were given by everyone today, then this would not solve the tasks that are set for the enemy in the West. All this chatter about taking some areas is bred by the British, who are completely out of touch with reality. They are left without vegetables and fruits in their country, there are empty shelves now in stores. And all because, just like in the war, they forgot to think about the consequences of leaving the EU and the consequences of their own sanctions against them.
    The only option for a counteroffensive at the Khokhol is possible only on Tokmak with development on Melitopol. Today it was officially announced by the GUR of Ukraine. But, the chances of realizing it are close to zero. A more probable option is that, having finally broken the defense in Marinka, we will go to the rear of the Ugledar grouping and at this point all plans for the offensive for the Ukrainian will remain on paper. The fall of Vuhledar will be the forerunner of the capture of the fortified Gulyai-Polye with the subsequent exit to Zaporozhye.

    The main thing is that powerful air defense systems are deployed in Ukraine.
    A massive attack, of course, will crush them (a massive attack, many times greater than the capabilities of the defense, generally always wins, except in cases of incorrectly assessed defense). That's just the victims will be doxpena. And the attackers.
    Ukraine will be given new air defense. Russia can only make new aircraft itself.
    So, it seems, the Angles are trying to breed us for heavy losses.

    the fact that the hedgehog is bred is understandable,
    as well as not using a massive air strike at the beginning of your own (at the first losses)
    it was a betrayal (try to attach arrogant people here)

And so far, it seems that our leadership is not ready to exchange the success of an offensive operation for, say, 100-150 aircraft. For non-current aviation is an extremely expensive thing, and it will take a very long time to make up for such damage. Against the background of the fact that it is not very clear what to expect from expensive Western partners, apparently such a price is still considered unacceptable ..

Russia has extremely worn and physically old remnants of the Soviet era, and there are very few modern Su-35-type aircraft systems, not to mention the SU-57. It’s generally better to remain silent about drum drones. The Su-34 and other systems capable of such strikes are also heavily worn out and practically experience a wild hunger for high-precision V-Z missiles. FABami chtoli deep into Ukraine will they endure Western air defense?
    In addition, such an attack requires reconnaissance on targets almost online. For this, Russia has nothing.
    Exactly a year ago, Mr. Konashenkov was already babbling tales about a massive strike by the Aerospace Forces and the almost destroyed air defense of Ukraine. What happened next, everyone remembers.
