According to the data that journalists
of the Avia Pro News Agency managed to
find out
122 millimeters Howitzers are currently
deployed on the territory of donetsk
international airport. According to the source, we are talking
about at least three guns that are
supposed to be used to strike at Donetsk.
At the same time information on this
subject is also confirmed by
representatives of the OSCE special
monitoring mission. Although it is argued
that we are talking about only one 122
millimeters gun.
Deployment of 122 millimeters Howitzers
at the Donetsk international airport
allows the armed forces of Ukraine to
deliver large-scale artillery strikes
not only on the suburbs of donetsk, but
also on donetsk itself which in the
conditions of a possible assault on
donbass can play a key role.
In addition there is a serious risk that
the armed forces of ukraine will strike
at civilian infrastructure.
The goals of the armed forces of ukraine
can be roads and railways residential
buildings, oil and gas storage facilities
etc. It is more than likely that the armed
forces of ukraine will try to create a
panic, which will create a serious threat
of shifting the front to the east and
this will already become an aid to the
capture of donetsk.
In addition by
attacking railways and roads, the armed
forces of Ukraine can create a problem
for the arrival of russian peacekeepers, the expert marks.
Since the beginning of this year the
confrontation in the Donbass has
intensified and u.s aircraft flights
indicate the fact, that there will be an
attack on the DPR and LPR in the very
near future.
Meanwhile otrk is konder was seen moving
in the direction of the ukrainian border. Netizens have posted video footage
showing a huge train transporting his
condor operational tactical missile
systems, allegedly towards the Ukrainian
border.
A short video indicates the fact that we
are talking about at least one missile
battalion and not only mobile launchers, but also support vehicles, command posts
etc got into the video.
In the video that circulated, you can see in the video frame that is presented, you can also see the process of transporting the Iskander operational tactical missile system on the train platform.
n addition to mobile launchers which
are additionally covered with a Tarpaulin vehicle's 9s 522 combat
control vehicle and 9248 support
vehicles were identified on the train
platforms. The final destination of the train
remains unknown however given the date
this video was posted. The Iskander
complexes may already be located on the
territory of one of the many military
field camps on the Russian Ukrainian
border.
Earlier the russian side announced its
intention to ensure the protection of
russian citizens in the donbass in the
event of an attack by the armed forces
of ukraine, which does not exclude the
possibility that such weapons are being
pulled to the west just to counter the
aggression of Kiev.
It should be noted that a few days ago
at least one division of the Iskander OTRK moved towards the ukrainian border, indicating that russia is seriously
considering strikes against NATO forces. NATO's refusal to guarantee Russia's
security and the recent threats to
deploy a strong military army towards
the russian borders allow the russian
side to quickly respond to such attacks, for which 12 mobile launchers of the Iskandaram complexes will be quite
enough to cover with powerful strikes
the deployment areas of the main forces
of the alliance.
Meanwhile, tensions remain high between
russia and the us over ukraine. Washington again accuses moscow of
seeking a pretext to invade its neighbor, an allegation Russia vehemently denies.
Kremlin spokesman dmitry peskov says the
allegations are unsubstantiated and not
backed by evidence. On friday the us said russia has already
pre-positioned a group of operatives to
conduct a false flag operation in
eastern ukraine to lay the groundwork
for invasion.
For weeks now the u.s and the western
military alliance, NATO have been
accusing russia of intending to attack
ukraine. That has raised tensions with moscow
which is unhappy with increased military
activity by nato near its borders. Russia says NATO expansion further east
threatens the country's security.
The US on friday accused russia of
sending saboteurs trained in explosives
to stage a pretext to invade ukraine, where government websites were knocked
out in a cyber attack. The allegations and incident mark a
striking new escalation in tensions over
ukraine, just after a week of talks
between the west and russia, that sought
a diplomatic solution.
Russia has amassed tanks, artillery and
tens of thousands of troops near the
border of ukraine as it demands
guarantees that its neighbor will never
join NATO which on friday announced new
cyber cooperation with kiev in response
to the attack.
In response to the attack NATO secretary
general Jens Stoltenberg announced the
transatlantic alliance will sign a
cooperation agreement with ukraine on
cyber defense.
