The other one appears to suggest that Russia doesn't include the Caucasian states including the Sochi coastline to all the way to Georgia and a belt running across to the Caspian.
It's Actually Sovereign Land! They took a chunk of Crimea including parts of the coast then when in. A couple hundred Ukrainians are in crimea going full guerilla warfare. Russians keep deleting reports lol it's like wack a mole

No point in occupying something you can't defend. Let the enemy do that, repeatedly.

This so transparently puts a bunch of NATO warships in the black sea on the Ukrainian shipping lanes, as a fuck you to Russia attempting to intercept anything.
Romania is "investigating" the shahed incident, would be funny if they declared a NATO patrolled no-fly zone around their borders that happened to cover Odessa.
It is also symbolic as hell, more shit occupied in 2015 liberated.
>It is also symbolic as hell, more shit occupied in 2015 liberated.
Also symbolic, the board is going to be rough tonight/tomorrow, Ukro are now past Optyne and contesting Donetsk airport too.
According to Russian telegram, Russian friendly fire artillery killed 27 and wounded 34 with a lot of those being limb losses.
>Also symbolic, the board is going to be rough tonight/tomorrow, Ukro are now past Optyne and contesting Donetsk airport too.
This is as good a thread to ask as any other, why is there never any movement in the northernmost part of the front? Russians are shelling there every single day but I guess both sides don't have the reserves to push?
>why is there never any movement in the northernmost part of the front?
There's no real advantage to Ukraine of pushing Russians back to their border. It's also not that easy to do since there's no terrain to push them over which stops them pushing back, it's just moving the front 100km for symbolic value because the border is where they're supposed to stop.
It's going to be the last thing Ukraine does, once they've done everything else and are so stocked up on western weapons that they can push into Russia to create a DMZ on their side of the border and then snub the western governments who (publicly) say it's not a great idea but they can't just take the weapons back and anyway, the damage is done now, oh well. Of course in private the western governments will laugh about it and congratulate Zaluzhny on the move as I'm sure has been agreed already.
>Russians are shelling there every single day but I guess both sides don't have the reserves to push?
Apparently not, maybe they've thinned their forces there to reinforce the south since that's where the Ukro offence is.
If Russia *could* push in the North, I'm sure they would, securing the Belarusian border inside Ukraine would let them remove the defences against a Belarusian push, as well as threaten all sorts of things that would require Ukraine to move reserves to answer. It's absolutely worth doing so obviously, Russia can't spare the resources or just don't think they could actually do it at all.

Ukies not gonna deploy troops but they will establish fire control - just as they done with Snake island. And I'm also sure, puccian gonna do same as before - every 4-5 days they will lob some dumb bomb into island or rig vicinity
anon the shitpost is to show how fucking absurd and catastrophic this would be if it happened to the US, as a way to show off how awful it is for russia
If the USA only got 100 miles into Mexico before being bogged down, yes it would be a massive, historical, mind-boggling humiliation that won't be forgotten for a century actually.
Yes, because if America invaded Ukraine and had similiar results as Russia. The internet would collapse under the weight of third world semen, the scenario being their neighbor only amplifies the humiliation. Russia is a fucking embarrassment to warfare and human decency.

Nice to see the cope remains identical to the one I remember from commie times.
The point is to show Ukriane has control of them, and thus can fire missiles from them and exert forward pressure on planes, helicopters and boats on the black sea.
This may be an attempt to push Russia back in terms of missile assets and protect shipping.
So, they’re Ukrainian platforms. It’s kind of comical making a photo op win out of your own property. Question though: if the Black Sea Fleet is stuck in port why can’t Ukies simply take back their oil platforms?
>It’s kind of comical making a photo op win out of your own property.

>Why do Russians pretend things that exist just don't?
They just want to respond, they don't care whether it's an answer, whether it's true or even if it makes sense. It's just about getting words in response.
This seems "equal" to them to what you said because they're so used to lies and propaganda that they don't like to admit that objective truth even exists. If you can claim it, then it's a possibility in their world view. >who's to say who's right and who's wrong? >sometimes you can't know what's true >it's just your word against ours >your proofs could be fake, no way to know >impossible to be sure who's really right
You get some version of this from them in just about any argument, it's not worth the effort of engaging them. Just call them out for others and ignore them.
It's especially not worth spending any energy on parsing their words because they sure didn't spend any energy in choosing them in the first place.
I feel like lining up a gun run on fast moving boats that can wave and are throwing up massed small arms fire and have stingers is probably not the easiest thing in the world to do.
>I feel like if it were the us navy air force
If it was the us navy carrier wing then they'd have used a seahawk with a door gunner and finished the job.
It's not a multirole, it's an air-superiority fighter.
They needed to send a Frogfoot but I'm guessing somebody noticed their black sea radar go dead and sent the fastest thing they had to go get a visual on it.
su-30 is a multirole, youre thinking of the su-35. though i suppose you cant really tell if it has canards or not from the picture, gotta take their word for it.

>middle frame shows the MANPAD streaking across past the rig
Yeah, you are correct. Still this really seems like some CoD mission that I'd call unrealistic few years ago.
Wait now I’m confused. The Black Sea fleet has been at port ever since the Moskva sinking and the Russians controlling the platforms have long since fled? Then….why haven’t the Ukies taken them back a long time ago? Why now so much later? Was it for the radar and the photo op was for a quick Twitter win? Is it because they don’t have the means to supply a garrison or new employees out there?

That's the same event as this thread is about, as per

fresh Kino
They said it was 14 hours actually, once they had driven off the Flanker, they sent drones to search for him and then a boat once they found him.
god they were so close to actually hitting it. Taking out a fighter in this raid would have been the icing on the cake. Instead, it was winged and will need repairs.
My god imagine if he ejected? Would the Ukies pick him up in the boat?
>Wtf it's not even dark, not to mention a moonless night like in my action flicks.
They scouted thoroughly with drones first, they knew they were unopposed.
Though there's the chance of some random patrol seeing them but I guess they were probably tracking those too.
>It baffles me that they had radar stations and ammo dumps on there but not a single squad of mobikrines to guard them.
They are indefensible platforms and the situation would become a death trap. You also have to supply them. Remember Snake Island? Same shit. Nice strategic platform but you can't defend it. Russia got stubborn and sent wave after wave of special forces there to just DIE. They lost so much equipment as well. They eventually gave up and now the island is nominally in Ukraine's hands but they don't have anyone stationed there.
Now stock them up with harpoon missiles, stingers, 1-2 CWIS guns for anti missile defense, EW equipment and plenty of food/fresh water for 2 months and rotate them out. Ukraine will now possess multiple Fort Drums in the Black Sea
>They would be extremely vulnerable
Oil rigs are really durable. USN ships bombarded the shit out of them against Iran. Either way Russia is now going to be wasting expensive long range missiles on targets that don't help them inside Ukraine at all. Or putting their aircraft or ships in harms way to attack them at close range, for little gain.
>Either way Russia is now going to be wasting expensive long range missiles on targets that don't help them inside Ukraine
Sure but you don't want to lose guys doing that.
They won’t. These are all Ukrainian rigs to begin with and Russia doesn’t lose anything by letting Ukrainians take them back. Why did the Russians steal them to begin with? To make sure they couldn’t be used to supplant Russian energy exports to Europe — which isn’t an issue for them right now. If it looks like Ukraine might keep them long-term then Russia might blow them up using demolition charges, not missiles. That is also probably why Ukrainians haven’t simply taken them back as of yet.
They were obviously just there for the radar, obviously being picked up by US ELINT. The flag photo op is just for a Twitter win, which is worthless, but a W is a W all the same. PrepHole pretends it’s another stunning win over Russia because everything is.
There was reports of Ukraine using Neptune missiles against russians on one of the oil rig platforms Tavrida. It's one of the 4 that were liberated in this latest operation.
>Is it just me or did those initial vids get pulled off internet until now?
Maybe they were released too early for opsec or leaked.
Or it was Russian footage not Ukrainian?
>drive in
They didn’t. They didn’t have the readiness needed to complete the march to Kiev. After stopping due to lack of supplies, emergency air-lifted Javelins and NLAWs allowed militias to reap a tremendous toll on the stalled convoys forcing them to abandon the Kiev operation. It failed before the Russians had even completed their "drive in".
Napkin calculations are that ~2/3 of the Russian military has been destroyed and approximately 1/3 is left including available reserves, so for example Russia has about 2200 tanks left roughly 3000 artillery pieces 4500 APCs 400 MLRS, 250 AA systems and 400 command/engineering/etc. You can start counting down teh Russian army ceasing to exist, approximately 4 months at these lost rates we have seen all summer and last year. The Russian ground forces become past tense in January/February at which point they will have lost 40-50,000 artillery pieces and armoured vehicles.
>Since the oil platforms are firmly embedded in the seabed
They're not, they're Jack-Up rigs that were raised up and moved.
They'll be resting on the sea bed is all.
The very first tutorial mission for Generals has the US do the exact same thing the Russians did, A mass raid of helicopters dropping troops escorted by attack helicopters that had an attrition level similar to that of Russia in that half the helicopters and escorts get swatted out of the skies by MANPADs, I always thought that mission was unrealistic because who could be so stupid than to send a swarm of helicopters into an environment where people have MANPADs.
When asked by reporters if the situation constituted a state of war, Reagan replied: "No, we're not going to have a war with Iran: they're not that stupid."
"One platform was boarded by U.S. special forces, who recovered teletype messages and other documents, then planted explosives to destroy the platform."

>Despite overcoming the initial Ukrainian resistance, the paratroops continued to be engaged by local armed civilians and the 3rd Special Purpose Regiment. The Ukrainians also began to bombard the airport with heavy artillery. Ukrainian Gen. Valery Zaluzhny recognized the danger of the Russian bridgehead at Hostomel, and ordered the 72nd Mechanized Brigade under Col. Oleksandr Vdovychenko to organize a counter-attack. At the "critical moment" of the battle, a large-scale Ukrainian counterattack was launched by the 4th Rapid Reaction Brigade of the National Guard, backed by the Ukrainian Air Force. Lacking armored vehicles, the Russian forces were dependent on air support to stave off the Ukrainian advances. Two Russian Su-25s were witnessed attacking Ukrainian positions. Ukrainian warplanes which survived the opening Russian missile strikes took part in providing air support for the National Guard units; these included at least two Su-24s and a MiG-29. The Ukrainians were swift in rushing more troops to the airport to support the counter-attack. These reinforcements included the Georgian Legion,[9] and a unit of the Ukrainian Air Assault Forces. With the battle ongoing, the Russian Il-76s carrying reinforcements could not land; they were possibly forced to return to Russia. >Ukrainian military units surrounded the airport and pushed back the Russian forces by the evening, forcing remaining Russian airborne troops to retreat to forests outside of the airport. Georgian Legion commander Mamuka Mamulashvili later claimed that his men ran out of ammunition in the battle, >whereupon he used his car to run over retreating Russian paratroopers. Later, the 4th Rapid Reaction Brigade posted on their Facebook page an image of their soldiers celebrating the victory, while holding a Ukrainian flag riddled with bullet holes.
Keep coping, retard.
>photo, video, witnesses >rrreeeee is a made-up narrative
lol, lmao, pathetic, lying russian loser. You Russians will always be weak and miserable because you never knew how to accept the truth.
If they were so successful capturing the airfield then why did they leave? The entire point of taking it was to be able to fly in reinforcements to rush Kiev. What was their mission?
>The next day a ground unit out of Chernobyl arrives, the VDV join them and they leave the airport. The end.
You're saying the VDV returned to Russia under their own power?
>It remains a fact that it was a textbook airborne assault which was successful.
The individual success of the initial stages of the operation does not matter, only the final result of the operation counts. And this is precisely why operation Market Garden is considered a failure, despite the successes of American and British paratroopers in the initial stages of the operation. And this is why the Overlord operation is considered a success, despite the fact that the paratroopers landing was a complete FUBAR. And that's why in the best case you're just a dumb schizophrenic who can't think logically, and in the worst case you're just a Russian HIV infected pidor who works as a troll for a glass of vodka per day.
>It remains a fact that it was a textbook airborne assault which was successful.
The objective that helped the invasions was achieved. That's not a success.
>complains about having to "explain" things many times >deletes posts
you are wrong and your judgment is clouded by motivated reasoning and a lack of research on the deeper details of the offensive and saying things that are inaccurate in a bunch of threads doesn't make them more true.
Wow, capture the flag mission on an empty oil platform. Implessive. > we shot a rocket at a russian plane, too
Nice. Shame that it didn't explode, or drop in the sea, or something.
>Wow, capture the flag mission on an empty oil platform. Implessive.
How it's their fault Russian military is so monumentally pathetic they can't establish presence in those oil platforms and had to run away leaving behind ammo and radars
>empty
They captured Russian equipment and assets, and gained potential staging areas for placing their own radars or SAMs. Russia will have to retaliate by either destroying the platforms, taking them back, or accepting that the Black Sea is a complete loss Navally speaking. >downplaying the fact that PT boats fought off the enemy fighter jets
Lol, seethe gay

Huh… for some reason, one of these statements seems ridiculous…
Jet fuel doesn't last forever?
It's not like there was anything "strategic" to protect in an abandoned oil rig. "A radar" that was ukrainian to begin with - to fend off ships in bad weather. "Ammo" that was probably some small arms stuff, some machine gun ammo at best. The fact the were zero people there to maintain that "strategic asset" is quite telling. Not to mention the satellite and drone recon ukies have 24/7 - they knew perfectly that the place is empty. So scratch the "bravery" part. Granted, there could have been explosive traps, but there were none.
da comrade, there is nothing "strategic" about crimea either the fact that the mighty poccr army is fighting for novorossiya trans rights in the east is quite telling to how little it matters if crimea is taken by ukrops
can they vacate the crew and rig it to blow or is it symbolic?
oil rigs are strategic locations for resupply, EW, observation posts and even possibly AA/AShM locations
It is also symbolic as hell, more shit occupied in 2015 liberated.
but my impression from the post is this is one of those probes to take a photo, and then leave proving Russia can't defend their territory
Kinda. On the first trip they dismantled and stole surveillance stations and on the second one they stole ammo that was stored there.
Thanks, I was interested in additional context
They generate an extra $1000 a minute each and don't eventually run out like supply piles so they're important to capture for the late game.

This is as good a thread to ask as any other, why is there never any movement in the northernmost part of the front? Russians are shelling there every single day but I guess both sides don't have the reserves to push?
>why is there never any movement in the northernmost part of the front?
There's no real advantage to Ukraine of pushing Russians back to their border. It's also not that easy to do since there's no terrain to push them over which stops them pushing back, it's just moving the front 100km for symbolic value because the border is where they're supposed to stop.
It's going to be the last thing Ukraine does, once they've done everything else and are so stocked up on western weapons that they can push into Russia to create a DMZ on their side of the border and then snub the western governments who (publicly) say it's not a great idea but they can't just take the weapons back and anyway, the damage is done now, oh well. Of course in private the western governments will laugh about it and congratulate Zaluzhny on the move as I'm sure has been agreed already.
>Russians are shelling there every single day but I guess both sides don't have the reserves to push?
Apparently not, maybe they've thinned their forces there to reinforce the south since that's where the Ukro offence is.
If Russia *could* push in the North, I'm sure they would, securing the Belarusian border inside Ukraine would let them remove the defences against a Belarusian push, as well as threaten all sorts of things that would require Ukraine to move reserves to answer. It's absolutely worth doing so obviously, Russia can't spare the resources or just don't think they could actually do it at all.
Thanks anon, that's a very comprehensive explanation.

Oh wow, one whole oil platform. And? Russia has plenty of the oil every day.
also, we didnt NEED that specific platform!

4 of them, also they captured rare radar surv system and big stash of heli ammo. Not bad for country without navy. Also weak bait
Ukies not gonna deploy troops but they will establish fire control - just as they done with Snake island. And I'm also sure, puccian gonna do same as before - every 4-5 days they will lob some dumb bomb into island or rig vicinity

Yes, because if America invaded Ukraine and had similiar results as Russia. The internet would collapse under the weight of third world semen, the scenario being their neighbor only amplifies the humiliation. Russia is a fucking embarrassment to warfare and human decency.

Nice to see the cope remains identical to the one I remember from commie times.
The point is to show Ukriane has control of them, and thus can fire missiles from them and exert forward pressure on planes, helicopters and boats on the black sea.
This may be an attempt to push Russia back in terms of missile assets and protect shipping.
>Russia proceeds to destroy the empty oil rigs by shooting 30 missiles at them (2 hit the targets, 27 fall into the sea, 1 hits a Russian war ship.)
Wait, what? Russia has platforms in the Black Sea? Aren’t all those Ukrainian? Or am I confused?
They stole them in 2015
So, they’re Ukrainian platforms. It’s kind of comical making a photo op win out of your own property. Question though: if the Black Sea Fleet is stuck in port why can’t Ukies simply take back their oil platforms?
>It’s kind of comical making a photo op win out of your own property.

They just want to respond, they don't care whether it's an answer, whether it's true or even if it makes sense. It's just about getting words in response.
This seems "equal" to them to what you said because they're so used to lies and propaganda that they don't like to admit that objective truth even exists. If you can claim it, then it's a possibility in their world view.

You get some version of this from them in just about any argument, it's not worth the effort of engaging them. Just call them out for others and ignore them.
It's especially not worth spending any energy on parsing their words because they sure didn't spend any energy in choosing them in the first place.

OG Rainbow Six had Operation Angel Wire.
If we’re going beyond CoD, OG Splinter Cell also had an oilrig level. An extremely shitty one at that.
Good
They should station two guys there with a crate of MREs and a crate of stingers for a few weeks.
They winged the Su-30 and forced it to RTB.
The Su-30 wasn't fucking around either.
thanks god Russian weapons are so inaccurate
I feel like lining up a gun run on fast moving boats that can wave and are throwing up massed small arms fire and have stingers is probably not the easiest thing in the world to do.

How is a multirole supposed to engage small watercraft like RHIBs anyway, other than guns? mavericks?
It's not a multirole, it's an air-superiority fighter.
They needed to send a Frogfoot but I'm guessing somebody noticed their black sea radar go dead and sent the fastest thing they had to go get a visual on it.
su-30 is a multirole, youre thinking of the su-35. though i suppose you cant really tell if it has canards or not from the picture, gotta take their word for it.

Actually it was the SAS. I have the leaked helmet cam footage right here
Wait now I’m confused. The Black Sea fleet has been at port ever since the Moskva sinking and the Russians controlling the platforms have long since fled? Then….why haven’t the Ukies taken them back a long time ago? Why now so much later? Was it for the radar and the photo op was for a quick Twitter win? Is it because they don’t have the means to supply a garrison or new employees out there?
Ragesh, oil platforms aren't defensible locations. Anyone who stations troops on one of these things is just asking for the platform to get blown up.
>Moskva sinking
How did that happen?
Kapitan Ivanovich sold the reserve buoyancy to fund his Sochi penthouse
Moskva has not been sunk. She was permanently promoted to a submarine. Holhols can't restart grain shipments because of Moskva.

That's the same event as this thread is about, as per
They said it was 14 hours actually, once they had driven off the Flanker, they sent drones to search for him and then a boat once they found him.
No mission escapes contact with the enemy. And the enemy in this case, is water.
It's really a blink-and-you'll-miss-it-flash.
What MANPAD did they use? Stinger? Piorun?
god they were so close to actually hitting it. Taking out a fighter in this raid would have been the icing on the cake. Instead, it was winged and will need repairs.
My god imagine if he ejected? Would the Ukies pick him up in the boat?
Wtf it's not even dark, not to mention a moonless night like in my action flicks.
>Wtf it's not even dark, not to mention a moonless night like in my action flicks.
They scouted thoroughly with drones first, they knew they were unopposed.
Though there's the chance of some random patrol seeing them but I guess they were probably tracking those too.
So I take it the Russians aren't going to sperg out and simply blow them up, then?
They've probably left by now. It was a hunter-killer raid, to knock out radar facilities.
It baffles me that they had radar stations and ammo dumps on there but not a single squad of mobikrines to guard them.
>It baffles me that they had radar stations and ammo dumps on there but not a single squad of mobikrines to guard them.
They are indefensible platforms and the situation would become a death trap. You also have to supply them. Remember Snake Island? Same shit. Nice strategic platform but you can't defend it. Russia got stubborn and sent wave after wave of special forces there to just DIE. They lost so much equipment as well. They eventually gave up and now the island is nominally in Ukraine's hands but they don't have anyone stationed there.
Now stock them up with harpoon missiles, stingers, 1-2 CWIS guns for anti missile defense, EW equipment and plenty of food/fresh water for 2 months and rotate them out. Ukraine will now possess multiple Fort Drums in the Black Sea
They would be extremely vulnerable targets for AShMs.
>They would be extremely vulnerable
Oil rigs are really durable. USN ships bombarded the shit out of them against Iran. Either way Russia is now going to be wasting expensive long range missiles on targets that don't help them inside Ukraine at all. Or putting their aircraft or ships in harms way to attack them at close range, for little gain.
>Either way Russia is now going to be wasting expensive long range missiles on targets that don't help them inside Ukraine
Sure but you don't want to lose guys doing that.
They won’t. These are all Ukrainian rigs to begin with and Russia doesn’t lose anything by letting Ukrainians take them back. Why did the Russians steal them to begin with? To make sure they couldn’t be used to supplant Russian energy exports to Europe — which isn’t an issue for them right now. If it looks like Ukraine might keep them long-term then Russia might blow them up using demolition charges, not missiles. That is also probably why Ukrainians haven’t simply taken them back as of yet.
>Russia might blow them up using demolition charges
And expose their ships? There's a reason they don't leave port.
They were obviously just there for the radar, obviously being picked up by US ELINT. The flag photo op is just for a Twitter win, which is worthless, but a W is a W all the same. PrepHole pretends it’s another stunning win over Russia because everything is.
You will live to see man-made dank memes beyond your comprehension.

They didn’t. They didn’t have the readiness needed to complete the march to Kiev. After stopping due to lack of supplies, emergency air-lifted Javelins and NLAWs allowed militias to reap a tremendous toll on the stalled convoys forcing them to abandon the Kiev operation. It failed before the Russians had even completed their "drive in".
VehDehVeh got in, on their tincans that don't protect against armor piercing 5.56mm and got shreked. It's regular army that couldn't keep up
Another day another set of catastrophic Russian losses.
Napkin calculations are that ~2/3 of the Russian military has been destroyed and approximately 1/3 is left including available reserves, so for example Russia has about 2200 tanks left roughly 3000 artillery pieces 4500 APCs 400 MLRS, 250 AA systems and 400 command/engineering/etc. You can start counting down teh Russian army ceasing to exist, approximately 4 months at these lost rates we have seen all summer and last year. The Russian ground forces become past tense in January/February at which point they will have lost 40-50,000 artillery pieces and armoured vehicles.
Since the oil platforms are firmly embedded in the seabed, they should count as army losses surely.
They aren't embedded, they are floating and can be tugged.
>Since the oil platforms are firmly embedded in the seabed
They're not, they're Jack-Up rigs that were raised up and moved.
They'll be resting on the sea bed is all.
FIRMLY resting. I'll still blame the army.
If you kill a marine just after he landed, is it an army loss?
Yes, how is it not?
Airplane destroyed on ground is mechanised division loss, simple as well.
The very first tutorial mission for Generals has the US do the exact same thing the Russians did, A mass raid of helicopters dropping troops escorted by attack helicopters that had an attrition level similar to that of Russia in that half the helicopters and escorts get swatted out of the skies by MANPADs, I always thought that mission was unrealistic because who could be so stupid than to send a swarm of helicopters into an environment where people have MANPADs.
Then Russia fucking does it.
The US first did it against Iran under Reagan, the helis played 'Back in Black' by ACDC from speakers as they went in low against teh Iranian rigs.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Nimble_Archer
When asked by reporters if the situation constituted a state of war, Reagan replied: "No, we're not going to have a war with Iran: they're not that stupid."
"One platform was boarded by U.S. special forces, who recovered teletype messages and other documents, then planted explosives to destroy the platform."

>Despite overcoming the initial Ukrainian resistance, the paratroops continued to be engaged by local armed civilians and the 3rd Special Purpose Regiment. The Ukrainians also began to bombard the airport with heavy artillery. Ukrainian Gen. Valery Zaluzhny recognized the danger of the Russian bridgehead at Hostomel, and ordered the 72nd Mechanized Brigade under Col. Oleksandr Vdovychenko to organize a counter-attack. At the "critical moment" of the battle, a large-scale Ukrainian counterattack was launched by the 4th Rapid Reaction Brigade of the National Guard, backed by the Ukrainian Air Force. Lacking armored vehicles, the Russian forces were dependent on air support to stave off the Ukrainian advances. Two Russian Su-25s were witnessed attacking Ukrainian positions. Ukrainian warplanes which survived the opening Russian missile strikes took part in providing air support for the National Guard units; these included at least two Su-24s and a MiG-29. The Ukrainians were swift in rushing more troops to the airport to support the counter-attack. These reinforcements included the Georgian Legion,[9] and a unit of the Ukrainian Air Assault Forces. With the battle ongoing, the Russian Il-76s carrying reinforcements could not land; they were possibly forced to return to Russia.
>Ukrainian military units surrounded the airport and pushed back the Russian forces by the evening, forcing remaining Russian airborne troops to retreat to forests outside of the airport. Georgian Legion commander Mamuka Mamulashvili later claimed that his men ran out of ammunition in the battle,
>whereupon he used his car to run over retreating Russian paratroopers. Later, the 4th Rapid Reaction Brigade posted on their Facebook page an image of their soldiers celebrating the victory, while holding a Ukrainian flag riddled with bullet holes.

If they were so successful capturing the airfield then why did they leave? The entire point of taking it was to be able to fly in reinforcements to rush Kiev. What was their mission?
It's true, I was there. Hohols fled before us as we march to Kiev. As we speak, we are skinny dipping in the Kiev's Reservoir.

You're saying the VDV returned to Russia under their own power?
When are you guys going to stop responding to blatant derailers?
>It remains a fact that it was a textbook airborne assault which was successful.
The individual success of the initial stages of the operation does not matter, only the final result of the operation counts. And this is precisely why operation Market Garden is considered a failure, despite the successes of American and British paratroopers in the initial stages of the operation. And this is why the Overlord operation is considered a success, despite the fact that the paratroopers landing was a complete FUBAR. And that's why in the best case you're just a dumb schizophrenic who can't think logically, and in the worst case you're just a Russian HIV infected pidor who works as a troll for a glass of vodka per day.

Nice. Shame that it didn't explode, or drop in the sea, or something.
>Wow, capture the flag mission on an empty oil platform. Implessive.
How it's their fault Russian military is so monumentally pathetic they can't establish presence in those oil platforms and had to run away leaving behind ammo and radars
Don't forget Russia's complete lack of control over the Black Sea against a nation with no navy.
>empty
They captured Russian equipment and assets, and gained potential staging areas for placing their own radars or SAMs. Russia will have to retaliate by either destroying the platforms, taking them back, or accepting that the Black Sea is a complete loss Navally speaking.
>downplaying the fact that PT boats fought off the enemy fighter jets

Fighter jets are not typically designed to destroy small boats or infantry, tho. It just made a few shots and fly away. Neither side hit anything but "our side" was heroic about it!

Jet fuel doesn't last forever?
It's not like there was anything "strategic" to protect in an abandoned oil rig. "A radar" that was ukrainian to begin with - to fend off ships in bad weather. "Ammo" that was probably some small arms stuff, some machine gun ammo at best. The fact the were zero people there to maintain that "strategic asset" is quite telling. Not to mention the satellite and drone recon ukies have 24/7 - they knew perfectly that the place is empty. So scratch the "bravery" part. Granted, there could have been explosive traps, but there were none.
No jet fuel doesn’t last forever
