If they're lucky 10% of those planes will fly!

Boots on the other foot, now it's the Russians are fleeing because of war. Back to Commieland for those trespassers.

So can someone fill me in here. Did a load of Russians move into Crimea after 2014 happened, or something else?
We are being quite ballsy with our Rivert Joints for some reason the last couple of days pushing ISR flights right up against Russian air space. Not quite sure why and always makes me laugh how the US will only go that close with unmanned flights (though if you have the drones might as well use them).
A notable comparison though is that Russia will push strategic bombers and other combat air craft to similar proximity.

My understanding is this basically. Since they aren't upfront with the situation in Ukraine either, the Russian people in Crimea had no idea what may be arriving and were instead holidaying.

I wonder what the retaliation will be, missile strike no doubt, but how many and what types for an attack in "Russia" that has ruined the FSB's holidays

There were a lot of financial incentives for Russians to move there.

It could potentially be caused by the (GROM)HRIM-2 short range ICBM.
Like the Neptune it's so new it's not formally been acknowledged as being produced by Ukraine but it's a big boy with a 480kg warhead so twice that of an ATACMS but it's accuracy wouldn't make it suitable to hit the Crimean bridge even though at a potential 500km it would easily be in range of it.
If they have any available they should use it on the Svastopol port and make the Russians poop their pants.

Not beyond possibility with the info and tech Ukraine has access to - Russia does move quite a bit of its munitions by rail though so not sure it would be possible to produce a big enough explosion from either hitting a truck or rail car to take out both bridges. Though taking out the locomotive and having an ammo train cook off might do it.

Russia's Medvedev: Attack on Crimea will ignite 'Judgement Day' response
The refusal of Ukraine and Western powers to recognise Moscow's control of Crimea poses a "systemic threat" for Russia and any outside attack on the region will prompt a "Judgment Day" response, former president Dmitry Medvedev said on Sunday.

Judgement Day apparently.
Tbh taking out the rail bridge is more important than taking out the one that they have to 'share' with the plebs, plus it causes chaos that Russia has to expend resources in dampening.

Guess what also happens in a judgement day.... full scale response. I.e. Words are cheap.
Funny isn't it... apparently Russia were LIBERATING Crimea, they didn't CONTROL it. Suddenly it matters that they control it.
You can smell the fear from here LMAO.

Crimea has always been mostly populated by ethnic Russians (legit ones not the transplanted ones rebelling in Donbas), well for the last 100 years anyway. This is why Crimea was so against being given to Ukraine in the first place and fought so hard politically to return to Russia for years prior to the shenanigans in 2014 (which has worked out great for them lol).

I do bang my head against a wall a bit when I see the inference that peace time economic understandings might act as a barrier to military mobilisation - not to say there is no impact at all but it does not prevent a country like Russia from being able to resource a war once they've abandoned peace time conventions.
It might take some time but Russia is completely capable of putting together some form of military industrial capability on a large scale. They've also not depleted their reserves of equipment anything like people seem to think - favouring dipping deeper into cold storage vs their "better" maintained reserve equipment so far.
There seems to be a huge underestimation of how much is being done in a fashion due to Putin's paranoia vs actual desperation and scraping the barrel.
