Russia probably has a built-in anti theft tracking systems in their S-300s, S-400s and S-500s in case they should fall in the wrong hands, so that a Russian missile can home-in and destroy the launchers.
Kikapu,
I'm quite frankly quite astonished that a person such as you seems to be pro Russia's/Pootin's invasion of Ukraine. Someone who has travelled so much and also holds US citizenship.
I mean, you and I, disagree with lots of things which is totally fine. I still like you as my friend. For instance, we seem to disagree on Trump. Totally fine as I say, and it still doesn't change anything for me even though you disagree. There are lots of people who disagree with me about Trump, and I accept their opinions and still like them equally.
But your opinions about the Ukraine War have me literally stumped and I got to say, I do feel very dissapointed. I really don't understand these opinions of yours. They seemingly defy logic when it comes to Ukraine.
Hi Paphitis,
For the record, I am neither for Russia/Putin or Ukraine. As I have stated before, I am an "Observer" as to what is going on. I would have preferred this war never started, and it could have been prevented had the Minsk agreements were implemented. The west pushed Zelensky into not accepting it and Russia calculated that it is better to invaded now than never and accept the fallout from non implementation of Minsk. A lot of people died and country destroyed for the ego of Zelensky. Russia was building it's forces along the Ukraine border, but Zelensky called Putin's bluff, and the rest is history.
Pretty hard to implement Minsk Agreement in an area that is controlled by Russian Military and Militias.
It was Pootin who tore that agreement. It was Pootin who declared that the Minsk Agreement was invalid.
Well so be it Kikapu.
This war has been the best thing that has happened for Ukraine because at the going down of the sun, the Russians will lose in the Donbass and Luhansk areas as well.
Ukraine welcomes Russia to hell.
How?
They are losing Donbass, Luhansk and probably more territory.
Their GDP has shrunk by half and they are becoming heavily indebted.
They are incurring many civilian casualties and deaths.
Their property and infrastructure is being destroyed.
This could go on for years and for what?
All it boils down to is to join NATO. fckn not worth it what so ever.
