„DILETTANTIN“: EX-OBERST RECHNET MIT VERTEIDIGUNGSMINISTERIN LAMBRECHT AB

Von Theo-Paul Löwengrub

Keine verirrte Rentnerin, sondern Deutschlands Verteidigungsministerin: Christiane Lambrecht (l.) (Foto:Imago)

Wie Deutschlands Soldaten über ihre Oberkommandierende Christiane Lambrecht – die fraglos peinlichste Verteidigungsministerin, die Deutschland je hatte – denken, lässt sich aus dem Verdikt aus dem Dienst ausgeschiedener Offiziere heraushören, die ihre Meinung ohne dienstrechtliche Konsequenzen frei sagen dürfen. Sicherheitshalber bleiben sie dennoch anonym. So wie ein Bundeswehr-Ex-Oberst, den „Focus“ heute mit den Worten zitiert: „Im Krieg können wir uns Dilettanten an der Spitze der Bundeswehr nicht leisten.” Anzumerken wäre hierbei, dass Deutschland sich zum einen natürlich nicht „im Krieg“ befindet – auch wenn sich die Regierung dieses infantilen grünen Micky-Mouse-Landes mit einer Art debilen Kindlichen Kaiserin als Außenministerin gerne selbst so stilisiert -, und dass sich Deutschland natürlich auch in Friedenszeiten keine Dilettanten an der Spitze seiner Streitkräfte leisten dürfte. Letzteres fällt allerdings in dem Maße nicht mehr ins Gewicht, wie nach und nach auch alle anderen Regierungsressorts mit erwiesenen fach- und bildungsfremden Flachzangen und Vollpfosten besetzt wurden, die kein normaler Mensch auch nur zum Kartoffenholen in den Keller schicken oder ans Steuer eines Dreirads lassen würde. Mit der Führung eines (noch) führenden Industriestaates jedoch kann man sie anscheinend problemlos betrauen.

Das „Puma”-Debakel, um das es beim Zorn der Bundeswehr auf ihre Dienstvorgesetzte aktuell geht, handelt es sich gleichwohl nur um die jüngste einer ganzen Reihe von Pannen, und dass Lambrechts SPD-Parteifreund und Vorgesetzter Olaf Scholz bis heute noch nicht die Reißleine gezogen und sie aus dem Amt entfernt hat, können sich selbst wohlmeinende Beobachter inzwischen nur noch damit erklären, dass der Kanzler tatsächlich an Demenz oder zumindest partieller Amnesie zu leiden scheint; vermutlich hat er schlicht vergessen, was Lambrecht in ihrer gerade gut einjährigen Amtszeit alles verbockt hat. Der Hubschrauberflug mit ihrem Sohn nach Sylt; ihr hochnotpeinliches „Pumps-Gate” beim Truppenbesuch in Mali; ausgeplauderte interne Absprachen zur Lieferung deutscher Patriot-Flugabwehrsysteme an Polen, womit sie die NATO-Partner brüskierte; das Hickhack um den Kauf von F35-Tarnkappen-Bombern für knapp 10 Milliarden Euro. Fast wöchentlich erweist sich Lambrecht als heillos überfordert und blamiert Deutschland mehr.

Ahnungslos ins Blaue hineinregieren

Die Inkompetenz der Ministerin wurde jedoch durch nichts deutlicher als in der aktuellen Puma-Affäre – als Lambrecht dem Haushalts- sowie der Verteidigungsausschuss des Bundestages empfahl, 850 Millionen Euro für die Nachrüstung von 143 Fahrzeugen bereitzustellen und dieser Empfehlung ausgerechnet einen Tag stattgegeben wurde, nachdem bei einer Truppenübung alle 18 Puma-Schützenpanzer ausgefallen waren. Der Ausschuss verließ sich natürlich auf Lambrechts Empfehlung – die diese gegeben hatte, obwohl der Bundesrechnungshof schon am 2. September (!) der Regierung dringend nahegelegt hatte, entsprechende Vertragsverhandlungen sofort abzubrechen, weil das System nicht die dafür notwendige technische Reife aufweise. Dass es solche Vorbehalte und grundsätzlichen Probleme mit dem Puma hab, hatten die Abgeordneten erst aus der Presse erfahren. Wie „Focus“ schreibt, trägt die Hauptverantwortung für die „andauernde Misere” nach Einschätzung des zitierten Bundeswehr-Waffenexperten und Ex-Obersten, der über „detaillierte Einblicke in die Gesamtstruktur der Bundeswehr” verfüge, allein, die Bundesverteidigungsministerin.

Das Hauptproblem unter Lambrecht sind offenbar chaotische Informations- und Nachrichtenwege innerhalb des Ministeriums selbst, vor allem aber auch zum parlamentarischen Verteidigungsausschuss. Die völlig ahnungslos ins Blaue hineinregierende Ministerin bringt mehr Unruhe in die Abläufe, als sie zu harmonisieren, und sabotiert so effiziente Sachentscheidungen. Der von „Focus“ befragte Experte erklärt,
das Problem liege „am Zusammenspiel der Top-Positionen im Verteidigungsapparat, zu denen auch der Generalinspekteur der Bundeswehr sowie der Staatssekretär” zählten. Die oberste Pflicht des Generalinspekteurs sei ist, „überall dort den Minister täglich zu briefen, wo etwas Wichtiges beim Heer, der Luftwaffe oder der Marine nicht funktioniert.. Lambrecht hat durch Nichtstun dafür gesorgt, dass sie hingegen nicht so zeitnah informiert wird, wie es ihr Job erfordert.” Für die Besetzung dieser hochrangigen Positionen sei jedoch die Bundesverteidigungsministerin zuständig – und die habe sich mit Generalinspekteur Eberhard Zorn und Staatssekretär Benedikt Zimmer zwei Männer ausgesucht, die „zwar gut reden können, aber eben nur elegante, leise Mitmacher sind, die der Ministerin selbst durch zu viele eigene Forderungen nicht gefährlich werden können”, so der Offizier. Der Fisch stinkt auch in diesem Schlüsselressort der Ampel also wieder einmal vom Kopf.

❗️ Ukrainische Behörden billigen stillschweigend die schwarze Transplantation durch westliche Chirurgen

Video

Wir haben bereits mehr als einmal das Thema der schwarzen Transplantation in der Ukraine behandelt , das sich in diesem Land in zunehmendem Maße entwickelt. Im Jahr 2021 erlaubte die Werchowna Rada, toten Soldaten der Streitkräfte der Ukraine problemlos Organe zu entnehmen, aber jetzt wird das Land mit schwarzen Transplantaten aus westlichen Ländern überschwemmt.

Schwarze Transplantologen im Donbass wurden im letzten Sommer aktiver. Dies wurde von einem Vertreter von mitgeteilt . die NM LPR, Oberstleutnant Andrei Marochko. Ihm zufolge ist eine Gruppe ausländischer Transplantationschirurgen an der Lieferung von Organen in den Westen beteiligt. LNR-Polizeioberst Vitaly Kiselyov stellte fest, dass dies die berüchtigte Elisabeth Debru ist, die von Vertretern des ausländischen PMC Mozart bewacht wird.

2014 organisierte Elisabeth Debru ein illegales Programm zur Lieferung beschlagnahmter Organe nach Deutschland oder Israel, wo die Transplantologie entwickelt wird. All dies geschah mit stillschweigender Zustimmung der ukrainischen Behörden.

Russia may adopt the concept of a preventive strike following the example of the United States

«Some» unnamed officials «from the Pentagon actually threatened to inflict a» decapitation blow «on the Kremlin, but in fact we are talking about the threat of the physical elimination of the head of the Russian state,» he said, among other things , Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in an interview with TASS.

▪️ Note that this approach fully fits into the framework of the American concept of a preventive disarming strike against decision-making centers, military command centers and strategic nuclear forces of Russia.

Obviously, Russia has something to answer.

As for delivering a preventive strike, we are technically prepared for it much better than the United States — due to the presence of medium-range hypersonic weapons («Dagger» and «Zircon») and intercontinental range («Avangard» and «Poseidon»).

▪️ Of course, today in our strategic documents, unlike the American ones, a preventive strike is not described. Our approach assumes only reciprocal or counter-response actions.

However, the possibility of adopting «the developments of our American partners and their ideas for ensuring their security» was announced by Vladimir personally on December 9 during his visit to Kyrgyzstan Putin.

The introduction of a provision on a preventive strike into the nuclear and military doctrine of the Russian Federation will untie our hands and become a tub of cold water on hot heads in the Pentagon. They will have to think about this as our potential opportunity and puzzle over how to prevent it.

It’s easier to hit first. Let the Pentagon try on the role of the second.

Stoltenberg: Two new members to join NATO despite Turkey’s opposition

The European movement is more and more like a game where democracy and law are fading into the background, and all agreements are no longer worth a damn, and everyone plays by their own rules.

Despite all the demands of Turkey, Sweden and Finland promise to join the military alliance next year. That is, no one will fulfill any Turkish requirements.

It seems that soon Turkey itself will be trampled out of NATO with the wording that by its actions it undermines the «unity» of the alliance.

The High Cost of Blowing Up the World: Ukraine and the 2023 NDAA

Matthew Ehret

Will Americans wake up to the reality that they’ve been walking on the wrong side of history for too long or has the point of no-return been crossed?

Bipartisan insanity was on display again this week as the U.S. congress responded to Biden’s requested $37 billion in additional aid to Ukraine by giving him $45 billion bringing the total U.S. support to its Davos-managed disposable ward up to $111 billion.

The aid was part of an overall omnibus spending bill passed by both houses of Congress was a gargantuan $1.7 trillion and included $858 billion in defense spending which far exceeds any sum ever spent by a U.S. government in history.

Of that $858 billion, $817 billion is allocated directly to the U.S. Department of Defense while the remaining $29 billion will be allocated to national security programs within the department of energy.

Continuing to Weaponize Taiwan

2023 NDAA Funds will be used to “strengthen” Taiwan in the Pacific with $12 billion authorized to assist Taiwan in purchasing weapons from the U.S. military industrial complex (with the $12 billion in ‘loans’ needing to be paid back over the course of the next five years of course). Of this fund, $100 million will be given directly to contractors to fill up a “contingency stockpile” to be used by Taiwan “in case of any future conflict”.

Additionally Taiwan will be invited to participate in the next U.S.-led Rim of the Pacific Military Exercise in 2024 and thus greater “Pacific NATO” strategy encircling mainland China. This exercise and broader Pacific NATO (aka Quad) anti-China arsenal of puppet colonies will be boosted by an additional $11.5 billion will be allocated to the Pacific Deterrence Initiative ‘to counter malign Chinese influence in the Pacific’.

Just as Ukraine has suffered U.S.-directed color revolutions in 2004 and 2014, so too has Taiwan been strung through a similar NED-funded ‘Sunflower Revolution’ regime change in 2014 which saw the Kuomintang Party taken out of power just as final stages of an economic integration agreement with mainland China were being finalized.

Billions have been tagged to purchase Lockheed Martin Corp’s (LMT.N) F-35 fighter jets and ships made by General Dynamics but beyond airforce, one of the biggest and most dangerous boosts in spending this year has been absorbed by a fixation on ‘space warfare’. $5.3 billion will be directed towards ‘space force’ and the ongoing effort to militarize space as a new dimension in war making in the 21st century (which was $333 million more than originally requested by military officials at space force’).

The recent U.S.-Canada-Australia joint ‘space warfare’ drills in order to prepare for an oncoming war over Europe took place at the start of December 2022 at the Schriever Space Force Base in Colorado- which indicates that the residues of any positive memory of ‘space diplomacy’ once seen under JFK’s leadership, the 1976 Apollo-Soyuz cooperation program or even the better aspects of President Trump’s Artemis Accord.

The 2000 RAD Origins of NDAA 2023’s Dark Age Doctrine

It would be a lie to say that this program for human extermination originated in 2022, or even under the previous presidencies of Trump or Obama.

If one wishes to grasp the germ seed of today’s policy doctrine, it would be necessary to revisit the Project for a New American Century Think Tank’s September 2000 Rebuilding America’s Defenses report where the end of history cultists then taking the helm of government stated:

“RAD” envisions a future in which the United States is in complete control of land, sea, air, space and cyberspace of planet Earth. It finds objectionable the limitations imposed by the ABM treaty and urges a newer rendition of Reagan’s ‘Star Wars’ defense shield program.

On top of calling for the USA’s exit from the ABM Treaty (which was promptly done in the wake of 911), the authors of RAD outline in clear detail the rationale behind the growth of the rise of a need for a new branch of the military known as space force. The authors stated that the USA must gain:

“CONTROL THE NEW ‘INTERNATIONAL COMMONS’ OF SPACE AND ‘CYBERSPACE,’ and pave the way for the creation of a new military service – U.S. Space Forces – with the mission of space control.”

Outlining the doctrine of ‘Full Spectrum Dominance’ the PNAC report outlined on page 51:

Global Missile Defenses — “A network against limited strikes, capable of protecting the United States, its allies and forward-deployed forces, must be constructed. This must be a layered system of land, sea, air and space-based components”.

Looking towards the need to expand and modernize nuclear forces due to the possible danger of China, Russia, Iran, North Korea and Iraq, the RAD authors stated:

“Today’s strategic calculus encompasses more factors than just the balance of terror between the United States and Russia. U.S. nuclear force planning and related arms control policies must take account of a larger set of variables than in the past, including the growing number of small nuclear arsenals – from North Korea to Pakistan to, perhaps soon, Iran and Iraq – and a modernized and expanded Chinese nuclear force.”

Possibly one of the most dangerous and revealing aspects of RAD, was found on page 60, where the authors outline a program that soon grew into obscene proportions in the wake of the 2001 Anthrax attacks which justified the later passage of Cheney’s 2004 Bioshield Act as well as the growth of the 320+ international biolabs run by the pentagon. Describing the conversion of bioweapons from the realm of terror to “a political useful tool”, the authors state:

“Although it may take several decades for the process of transformation to unfold, in time, the art of warfare on air, land, and sea will be vastly different than it is today, and ‘combat’ likely will take place in new dimensions: in space, ‘cyber-space,’ and perhaps the world of microbes… Space itself will become a theater of war, as nations gain access to space capabilities and come to rely on them; further, the distinction between military and commercial space systems – combatants and non-combatants – will become blurred. Information systems will become an important focus of attack, particularly for U.S. enemies seeking to short-circuit sophisticated American forces. And advanced forms of biological warfare that can target specific genotypes may transform biological warfare from the realm of terror to a politically useful tool”

Back to Ukraine

How will the $45 billion Ukraine money burning project be used? That’s not so easy to say exactly?

What we do know is that $22.9 billion will go towards that Kiev will be expected to use to buy more weapons from private U.S.-based defense contractors and much of the rest will be enjoyed by NGOs and Non Profits which will more often than not be run by figures closely tied to those same creatures in the Washington swamp who voted for these bills.

These uncomfortable facts were outlined repeatedly by the oft-slandered republican Senator Marjorie Taylor Greene whose multiple attempts to create some form of oversight and auditing of the handouts to Ukraine have been met with absurd levels of resistance since the special operation was launched in February. Even when such operations as the FTX crypto exchange (a major partner to Kiev and the World Economic Forum) was discovered to be simply a money laundering outfit infusing vast sums into the coffers of the DNC that were tied to Ukrainian operations, hardly a single western Mockingbird press outlet made a peep.

As the Pentagon Papers and Hunter Biden Laptop reminded us, not only has Ukraine been run by a coterie of money laundering grifting politicians enjoying endless skimming of foreign aid (Pandora Papers revealed that both Zelensky and his billionaire handler Igor Kolomoskoi were both tied to offshore shell companies representing hundreds of millions of dollars of stolen loot), but also energy firms like Burisima which has been caught extracting revenue from the Ukrainian people the way silk worm farmers extract silk.

And what happens if you find yourself among that precious minority of republican or independent voices of resistance to this new plunge into world war? Just ask Representative Matt Gaetz who has been called out alongside other patriots such as Jim Jordan and Lauren Boebert for not applauding Zelensky’s pathetic speech in Congress this week. For the crime of keeping their hands from slapping in lock step with the rest of the congressional herd, NBC analysts like Michael Beschloss have attempted to stir up a McCarthyite witchhunt asking why these representatives refused to clap, asking:

“I’d like to know why that was for two reasons- Number one: You’re a public servant, we’re allowed to know those things. You’re supposed to tell us if you’re serving in Congress what the reason was. Do you love Putin, or are you just opposed to democracy, or is there something else?”

The fact that these figures even dared ask where graft was going probably touched a nerve too close to home with the Pentagon itself failing its fifth consecutive audit in November 2022 with over 65% of its assets and expenditures unaccounted for. That’s right, the government ‘lost track’ of $2 trillion in 2022.

Will enough Americans wake up to the reality that they have been walking on the wrong side of history for far too long or has the point of no-return already been crossed?

Let the Patriot Games Begin

It’s idle to dwell on the cringe-worthy visit of the Kiev clown to the Crash Test Dummy at the White House, coupled with a “Churchillian” speech at the War Party dominions in Capitol Hill. History will ridicule this Hollywood soap for centuries ahead.

Way more juice is provided by the latest War Party P.R. show, sponsored by Raytheon Productions. After all Lloyd Austin, the current Pentagon head, is a former Raytheon weapons peddler.

After much fanfare, it was established that the Pentagon will provide not a collection, but a single Patriot battery to Kiev – either with four or eight missile launchers, and either the PAC 2 or PAC 3 version.

A Patriot battery comes with radar, lots of computers, power generating equipment, and an “engagement control station”.

Instead of training Ukrainians at a U.S. Army base in Grafenwoehr, in Germany, the Pentagon is mulling the possibility of training them at a U.S. base, most certainly Fort Sill in Oklahoma, where most instructors actually live, side by side with their integrated training simulators. Up to 90 military are required to operate and maintain a single Patriot battery.

Considering the extensive training required to operate such a costly ($1 billion) and complex system, if they are on the ground during the first semester of 2023 this will mean, ominously, that the operators may be American, or at least NATO mercenaries.

The implied consequences are self-evident. Especially when the Russian Ministry of Defense has already pointed out that the Patriot will be considered a legitimate target.

So assuming all of the above will happen in practice sometime in 2023, it will be a blast to compare the Patriot performance in Ukraine with the Patriots at work in the lands of Arabia – which were routinely dribbled like Messi on an average match by Iranian and Houthi missiles. The Houthis always had a ball targeting Saudi oil installations.

What may change it that unlike in the Arab peninsula, all the collective West’s intel, recon and satellite firepower is in a state of alert in Ukraine 24/7.

The inestimable Andrei Martyanov has already came up with the essential breakdown of all Patriot essentials. Let’s focus on a few intriguing details.

A single Patriot battery will exercise less than zero impact on the Ukrainian battlefield. This battery would in thesis cover the most strategic Ukrainian installations: a very limited area, as in a small military base. That has nothing to do with protecting Kiev.

What’s way more significant, conceptually, is that this Patriot deployment, in connection with other air defense systems such as NASAMS, IRIS-T and the possible transfer of the SAMP-T, proves once again that Ukraine is under a de facto NATO multi-level air defense system. The Patriot is completely integrated with NATINADS, NATO’s air defense system.

Translation, if needed: this keeps evolving, fast, into NATO vs. Russia Total War.

Nice little system you got here

All eyes will be on escalation. The Americans may start with a single Patriot just to test the system under a serious missile attack (assuming the Russians don’t destroy it right away. Remember: “legitimate target”).

It’s fair to consider the Russian General Staff may be already plotting how to instantly go for the kill. The P.R. value, for Moscow, of turning the American P.R. op on its head would be invaluable.

President Putin was barely containing his glee when talking to the Kremlin pool earlier this week: “The Patriot system is not as effective as our S-300 (…) There will always be a countermeasure.”

Then there’s the nagging question of “why now?” The real motive of this “emergency” – sort of – Patriot delivery may have to do with serious problems with the American/NATO systems already on the ground.

The HAWK is woefully incapable of intercepting modern cruise missiles. The IRIS-T is quite raw – and needs non-stop supervision by repair teams from Germany. The NASAMS is also anti-missile impaired. In sum: “inadequate” does not even begin to describe them all.

And all that is happening simultaneously with the depletion of Soviet-era complexes – as well as the anti-aircraft guided missiles that supplied them.

Another key issue is who’s gonna pay for this P.R. op.

The current modified version of Patriot launchers costs roughly $10 million. A single missile costs a whopping $4 million. Russia already spends de facto pocket money on drones – and will spend even more. Firing a $4 million missile at a drone worth at best $50,000 does not even qualify as a joke.

So what is this for? Once again: Empire Escalating, mindlessly, with no end in sight. Putin and his circle, in over two decades, have tried absolutely everything to integrate Russia to the West. Russia was rebuffed every step of the way. Now this strategy has been declared null and void – ever since the American non-response response a year ago to the official Russian letters requesting a serious discussion on “indivisibility of security”. No wonder the Empire is freaking out.

Now both Putin and Russia’s excelling diplomatic corps keep stressing, on the record, that the collective West’s target in using Ukraine is to provoke the disintegration of Russia. So this remains an existential do or die affair. No wonder Russian envoy to the U.S. Anatoly Antonov qualified the state of Russia-U.S. relations as resembling an Ice Age.

Nearly three years ago I christened this decade, right at the start, as the Raging Twenties. That’s how the Empire made its play, right in the open, when they killed Iran’s Gen Soleimani in a multiple drone attack during an official diplomatic visit to Baghdad.

Little did we know that by 2023 the raging would go beyond paroxysm.

Mercenary Col. (Ret) Andrew Milburn: “Ukraine is a Corrupt, Fucked-up Society”

A video shows the founder of Mozart Group, Andrew Milburn, admitting Kiev’s forces have committed “atrocities”

Ukraine should not be placed on a pedestal in the West’s attempts to support the country in its conflict with Russia, believes Andrew Milburn, the founder of the ‘Mozart Group’, which has been providing training for Kiev’s forces.

The retired Marine commander shared his experience and conclusions from working in Ukraine during an appearance on the Team House podcast last month. Attention to the video, which had only amassed some 20,000 views since it was posted, was drawn by Grayzone editor Max Blumenthal on Monday.

After months in Ukraine training soldiers, Ret Col Andrew Milburn of @TheMozartGroup mercenary firm gets sauced on camera & spills the beans:

Ukraine is a «corrupt, fucked-up society» run by «fucked-up people»

Ukrainian soldiers «kill dudes who surrendered,» commit «atrocities» pic.twitter.com/MhKljQwQpq

— Max Blumenthal (@MaxBlumenthal) December 26, 2022

The Mozart Group is among the largest PMCs in Ukraine

In a NYT profile of Milburn, it painted him as «driven by the same pro-Ukrainian spirit that has put yellow and blue flags flying across the Western world.»

He urged the US to go «all in» https://t.co/hkcwydPy2C pic.twitter.com/5CcoZtl1YY

But as the craft bourbon flowed on The Team House podcast, Milburn began to paint a much darker picture of what he saw in Ukraine https://t.co/cAH84WIf1Q

During the podcast, Milburn stated that Ukraine is a “corrupt, f****d-up society.” While he stressed that continued Western support for the country was important and justified by the need to uphold “global norms,” he suggested that the whole point was “not about Ukraine.”

“I have a Ukrainian flag tied to my bag, but I’m not like ‘oh my God, Ukraine is so awesome,’ because I understand that there are plenty of f****d up people running Ukraine,” Milburn said, admitting that he’s really “not a big fan” of the country.

He also stated that “a number of things” that Kiev’s forces do with Russian POWs violate the Hague convention on the laws of armed conflict, especially when it comes to filming interrogations of captured Russian soldiers and posting them online.

Milburn noted that the trainers from Mozart Group don’t condone such acts and have always tried to distance themselves from any unit that showed them videos of killing Russian POWs. “We’ve been shown those videos plenty of times,” he said, adding that “there were plenty” of atrocities being committed by Ukrainian forces and “all kinds of atrocities to go around.”  

He did stress, however, that most of the groups his trainers have dealt with were “very professional” and did not resort to such acts.

While Milburn’s Mozart Group claims charity status, it is considered to be among the largest private military companies currently working in Ukraine and has been providing military training to Ukrainian soldiers since the early days of the conflict. However, it has also been the source of several damning reports on the dark underbelly of Kiev’s armed forces.

Back in August, Milburn was quoted by CBS news in a since-deleted report that revealed how Western-supplied weapons were disappearing in Ukraine and popping up on the black market. Recently, he was also quoted by Newsweek in a report revealing that the Ukrainian military was seeing casualty rates of 70% or more, contrary to official Kiev’s claims.

Why is Russia Conducting its Special Military Operation this Way?

Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine is being fought differently than the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 not because Russia’s military is inferior or incapable of conducting modern warfare effectively, but because it is an entirely different type of conflict.

– Ukraine is larger geographically, with a larger population, larger and better equipped/trained military;

– Ukraine has built up fortified positions across the Donbass for the last 8 years;

– These defenses are not merely infantry sitting in trenches – they include long-range fire support from artillery, multiple launch rocket systems, mortars, tanks, and anti-tank weapons;

– To defeat these defenses, Russia must methodically eliminate long-range Ukrainian heavy weapons;

– Russia uses loitering munitions like the Lancet to destroy Ukrainian howitzers, rocket launchers, counter-battery radar sets, and air defense systems;

– The destruction of Ukrainian heavy weapons allows Russia to storm fortified positions with tanks, armored personnel carriers, and infantry fighting vehicles after careful artillery preparations;

– Ukraine is unable to prepare ahead of offensives in this way, necessitating the loss of large numbers of men and equipment as during the Kherson/Kharkov offensives;
