What is the sake of it? Sweeden could have their former colony back if they would like to. 10 minutes ago, RETAC21 said: Baltic republics = Russia Baltic republics are definitely not Russia, more over - there is srrong dislike now towards locals in this places (or, at least, their Governments policy). I do not think integrating this cold swamps could potentially be attractive idea here in Russia, unless they do something really stupid like "final solution" on few remaining Russian-speakers or bloade of Kaliningrad. 14 minutes ago, RETAC21 said: East Prussia = Russia Part of East Prussia definitely is, the rest is long since Poland and Baltic states. 15 minutes ago, RETAC21 said: Poland = Russia It depends on what you call Poland. There was a time when Vyazma 200km West from Moscow was Poland. If you mean Poland in its present borders - well, it is definitely not Russia. 17 minutes ago, RETAC21 said: Azerbaijan = Russia Azerbaijan is definitely not Russia (while millions of "ethnic Azeri" with Russian citizenship live here in Russia - see for example Colonel Kamil Salimkhanov, awarded Hero of Russia for his actions in 2022). *Azerbaijan utself is to some extent ethnically diverse, see
alejandro_ Posted March 25 Posted March 25 (edited) Air War Game-Changer: Sweden Set to Deliver Ukraine’s First AEW&C Aircraft Ukraine’s first airborne early warning and control aircraft to be delivered once Kyiv’s F-16s get Link-16 tactical network mods – allowing the Vipers to engage enemy aircraft before they are targeted. In an interview with the Lithuanian military issues website Delfi a Swedish Ministry of Defense spokesperson said that the transfer of the two Saab 340 airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft – also known as the ASC890 – that was announced by its defense minister Pål Jonson last May, was on schedule. The spokesperson confirmed “The delivery dates for the ASC890 are linked to the availability of certain F-16 fighter modifications.” This refers to the upgrade of Kyiv’s F-16AM fighter aircraft with the Link-16 tactical network capability. https://www.kyivpost.com/post/49570 Couple of points: - It is unlikely Ukraine will get AIM-120D (and Meteor) because it could fall in Russian hands - Once delivered these aircraft will become main objectives of Russian forces, and they are not as easy to hide as F-16/MiG-29 - Russian aircraft also have the support of AWACS and SAM network Edited March 25 by alejandro_

alejandro_ Posted March 26 Posted March 26 More on injury statistics: Of all the injuries to Russian soldiers received during non-active combat, more than 75% were caused by attacks by Ukrainian UAVs. These statistics were cited by Russian military doctors - their article was published in the March issue of the Military Medical Journal, which is published by the Russian Ministry of Defense. For the study, doctors interviewed about 6 thousand wounded servicemen. Another 20% of the soldiers surveyed were injured as a result of artillery shelling, and 4% were injured by small arms. Doctors classify inactive combat actions as periodic, low-intensity clashes and positional warfare, when the parties do not conduct an offensive. As stated in the report of military doctors, the main Ukrainian means of destruction during this period are small attack UAVs. Drones also affected the time it took to evacuate the wounded for surgical care. It increased threefold, to 14.5 hours, the researchers write. In July 2024, the same group of doctors published a similar study: on wounds received during active combat, for example, during assaults. At that time, the researchers did not single out wounds received from UAVs as a separate group. But, according to their data, during active combat, the absolute majority of wounds, 94.4%, are shrapnel and explosive. All wounds received from drones fall into these two categories. The Russian-Ukrainian war is the first large-scale conflict in which drones are used so widely. According to the Ukrainian side, drone attacks account for 70 to 80% of all military losses. Drones are also effective in destroying military equipment, including heavy equipment. For example, of the 31 Abrams tanks that the United States delivered to Ukraine in 2023, 19 were disabled, including by drones, The New York Times wrote, citing a high-ranking Ukrainian official. https://istories.media/news/2025/03/25/tri-chetverti-ranenii-rossiiskikh-voennikh-v-pozitsionnoi-voine-ot-bpla/

Maybe transportation through Crimean bridge or ferry into peninsula is safer than through land corridor?

But two cases is hardly enough for any conclusions....
