Does Ukraine Have The Ability To Strike Back At Any Russian Cities?- By Eric Wicklund https://dopereporters.com/does-ukraine-have-the-ability-to-strike-back-at-any-russian-cities-by-eric-wicklund/ Yes, Ukraine can strike back with aircraft for one. It is unknown how many Su-25s are still flying, but these could hit Russian cities. But why hit a Russian city? Ukraine cannot possibly hope to curtail Russian nation’s war-making capacity, communications, or anything else critical to the war effort. And that’s the only reason to hit a city. Not only would it convince Russians that Putin was right, it would be a waste of valuable ordinance, already in limited supply. Ukraine has its hands full blunting the thrusts of Russia in their own country. Best to carefully mete out their bombs in strikes precisely where they need them. Hitting a Russian city will not repel an armored strike within Ukraine. -. Ukrainian S-25 Frogfoot Ukraine also has an unknown number of OTR-21 Tochka tactical ballistic missiles. These could also be aimed at a Russian city, but why? -. OTR-21 Tochka (Nato reporting name: SS-21 Scarab) Ukraine has reportedly launched a Tochka strike at Donetsk. And now here is where using these weapons is a double-edged sword. Now it works to Russia’s advantage as propaganda. https://wgntv.com/news/russia-ukraine-crisis/russia-20-killed-in-missile-strike-by-ukraine/ This just in, and much thanks to Vadim Mikhnevych, Ukraine claims they did not fire the Tochka. Russia fired the Tochka, and now blames Ukraine in a bid to generate a scrap of positive PR. According to ukrinform.net: "The fact is that the missile, tail part of Tochka-U is heavy. When a warhead separates from it in the air, it preserves its direction and speed on its own" The photos of the incident taken in Donetsk show that the missile part of Tochka-U lies on the Shevchenko Boulevard, with its tail pointing to the southeast and its front – to the northwest. Based on this, we can geolocate that the missile arrived from the southeast. "The territory controlled by Russian forces and separatist forces is southeast [of Donetsk] along the entire 120 km – the hitting range of Tochka-U. There are no Ukrainian forces there. Accordingly, the Ukrainian missile could not arrive from there," CIT analyst explains.” [my bold] CIT: Tochka-U strike on Donetsk was Russia’s provocation March 14 shelling of Donetsk with a Tochka-U missile with cluster munitions was Russia’s provocation. — Ukrinform. https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-ato/3430801-cit-tochkau-strike-on-donetsk-was-russias-provocation.html How would it look if Ukraine fired at a Russian city? Not good, that’s what. Ukraine might lose support when it needs it most.

They can. But if they do it, Putin will have a better excuse to open up all!!!!. So it's better for them to just maintain defensive forces. |

seunny4lif: We see attempts of sabotage and strikes by Ukrainian troops on objects on the territory of Russia. If such sabotage continues, the Russian Armed Forces will strike at decision-making centers, including in Kiev, from which the Russian army has so far refrained |

Ukraine was not well prepared for the war by all indications despite intelligence reports. Their pre war arm reserves were just so poor and now just got better but not enough for so long resistance if not resupply. Shey them whey no get sophisticated weapons for enough resistance if dem no dash them, shey na dem go con attack Russia? Who wan dash dem that kind weapon, wey hin no go collect woto woto, even join the war? Any serious country must invest big time into its military. Na troops number (constant resupply of not well equipped recruits to action) dey save ninja from BH, Iswap etc If no arm was supplied to them by some countries, they wouldn't have been able to defend themselves this long. Russia never saw this in their pre war plan and if they did, not of this scale, they thought their rhetorics will fend off many wests to supply Ukraine weaponry and in days, Ukraine will fall either by combats or anti government revolutions. |
