Ukraine Prepared to Strike Crimea With British Missiles

The UK is in discussions with Ukraine on providing longer-range missiles

Originally published by AntiWar

Ukraine is in discussions with the UK about receiving longer-range missiles and is prepared to use them against Crimea, which would mark another major escalation of Western involvement in the war, The Times of London reported Thursday.

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak promised more aid for Kyiv when Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky visited London on Wednesday. The Times report said that discussions are now underway on whether future aid should include Harpoon anti-ship missiles or air-launched Storm Shadow missiles.

Ukrainian sources told The Times that they would plan to use these missiles to hit Crimea, strikes that would seriously risk provoking Moscow. But both the US and Britain are less concerned about escalating the war.

Ukraine has already received some Harpoon missiles from Denmark and launchers from the US. The anti-ship missiles have a range of about 70 miles, although other variants can hit targets over 100 miles away. The Harpoons have a longer range than artillery missiles the US has sent, but the Harpoons are designed for coastal defense.

It’s not clear if Ukraine could use Harpoons in its ground battle against Russia with the current launchers, but Ukrainian officials claimed they used them to sink a Russian military tug boat last June. The Times report said the Harpoons would be less accurate if they were used on the ground.

The Storm Shadow missiles could hit targets at a range between about 150 miles and 350 miles, depending on the variant. They are typically fired from aircraft, and the UK is also considering providing Kyiv with fighter jets and plans on training Ukrainian pilots starting this spring.

Moscow would view the provision of jets and longer-range missiles as a major provocation, and Russian officials have been warning strongly against the move. Recent reporting suggests the US and its allies are no longer concerned with the risk of Russian President Vladimir Putin using a nuclear weapon in response to attacks on Crimea based only on the fact that he hasn’t used one up to this point.

This has already happened. The airfield in Crimea that was hit about five months ago was hit after, i believe it was Vinitsia, was hit.

I have an idea for a drone submarine missile that swims up the river and then launches straight up to the optimal altitude and detonates. Such a weapon would be a great hit at the arms expo’s.

I’m so tired of Kremlin’s incredible incompetence and cowardice….

The only logical reply to Angloid demons should have been: “The moment British missiles strike Russian territory, Russian missiles will strike London. Not a threat, or a bluff. That’s a promise. ” The only language those degenerates from London and Washington understand… instead they keep escalating and escalating, like playing Russian roulette – adding one more bullet every time… and Putin&co does nothing. Absolutely nothing! Next time they’ll give them nukes, the only thing they didn’t give them so far…

Chinese balloons are more scary than Putin right now. Why the fk he even started this bs pathetic ‘operation’ if he’s not ready to fight? Just capitulate like the rest of Europe, just like Gorbachev: he gave them half of Europe without a single bullet fired. Same criminal incompetence and cowardice….

Brits are told don’t worry about your borders just let all the Africans, middle easterners and Asians in. But when Ukraine’s borders are violated they have to do something about that!

Just like America, Canada, France, Germany and many other nations.

Rusko sa musí dôkladne pripraviť na túto novovzniknutú situáciu. Rusko musí začať ničiť tieto dodávky zbraní okamžite pri vstupe na územie Ukrajiny.

Just another red line that will be crossed without consequences. As long as those surrounding peace have the hope to one day be able to do business again with the west it will not happen.

Another major strategic mistake by putin, that made russia look weak now no1 is scared in the west. U can thank putun for his stupid half hearted war and rhetoric. Pathetic leader turned russia into a third world with a measly economy with such vast land too. Complete mismanagement in all levels

Serious risk of provoking russia i mean a whole year of war over 100 billion in aid is not enuff to provoke Russians nothing will provoke them

Captain Hohol

You realize if Russia is fully “provoked” that it will result in catastrophic global nuclear war?

Johny cash

Yes. Hes so pathetic he cant even say ill use it as a threat. All these money and advance weapons being shipped without any hesitation is thanks to putin. He indirectly invited all these new arms into the war. Hes at a point where his threwts dont mean nothing no more no1 takes him seriously in the west. That fool has made way too many strategic mistakes to be forgiven lets be frank

none

IMO, the West won’t be “concerned” until their skin is in the game. This means widening the war.

The United States has to worry about implementing socially corrosive WEF policies within their own borders, the United States is going to lose any stake in this if their own country is trying to rip itself to pieces.

I simply dont know why the Rf didnt do it yet. She has nothing to fear about. How many nukes do the UK have? 100 outdated all of them easily interceptable by systems like S-550 and S-500? the RF 6000 modern nukes.

You don’t know because you don’t understand. The UK in itself is irrelevant, it has no military power at all. But we are a member of NATO and if Russia were to launch any nukes our way, that would mean a response from ALL NATO countries, including the USA. Putin is a sensible, rational leader, perhaps the most sane on the planet. Russia will never strike first as this is written into their doctrine. If anyone strikes first it will be those mad assholes in NATO and Russia’s response will be automatic. No one wins a nuclear confrontation and there is no such thing as a ‘limited’ nuclear war.

It seems that NATO are trying very hard to be at war with Russia, while not saying it out loud, because they know what that would lead to. Russia will win this easily. Do not question their strategy as time is on their side. Eventually NATO and the EU will crumble. Slava Russaiya.

1 poseidon nuke enough to tsunamize the whole UK

Well, Danilov wrote that when Ukronazis invade Moscow they will take the Kreml incl. Putin. Now, do you really think any normal person would choose be killed by Ukronazis (they kill POVs as proven in many videos) over pushing the red button? I dont. And I would push it much earlier. And legally he also could do it much earlier, according to the law: “Nukes can be used in a preemptive way if the Integrity of the Russian Federation is under threat”. And I dont blame him. Regarding nukes, the RF has the upper hand.

If you believe that the Ukronazis could ever get anywhere near Moscow, I’ve got a lovely bridge in Crimea to sell you. By this time next year, 404 will be reduced to snake island and NATO/EU will be extinct. Why would Russia want to escalate to a nuclear conflict when they are comfortably winning? As for NATO, they know what would happen to the collective West if they pulled the trigger. Why else do you think that NATO insists that the fight is between Ukraine and Russia and tries so hard to hide its involvement?

Cop

So we won. What, not yet?! Holy sh**, are we waiting for next Winter Olympics or what?

It’s obvious and has already been stated by the inimitable Mr Lavrov that the longer the range of offensive weapons in the hands of the rump Ukrap regime then logically the farther that regime will be pushed from Mother Russia’s borders. For the clamoring clowns in Natostan of course “rocket science” is out of their league. Every day the rump will be smaller and the angloZionaZis will be pushed out of Urupp aka Natostan aka the EUSSR should it have to come to that.

If the krauts are not careful they will be visited by a very angry Bear yet again not to mention the thrashing that the demons in Brussels can expect.

Odessa, a Russian city since 1794, is lovely in the spring, especially when liberated. Z

Just the other day a guy/girl here in the forum made a good point and the answer from the site was that the responsible mod of that day deleted his/her post (instead of answering it with plausible arguments). He/she wrote: the end scenario will be with Russian winning the conflict or the nuclear destruction of the NATO countries which are ‘de facto’ the opponent. I like my life and I dont want to die, so I am pretty much on the side of solution #1 despite of the fact that I live in a NATO country. But I dont give a shit for nazis/fascists/xoxols and their likes. France lost against Russia, but life went on. Germany lost against Russia and life went on, so just think rational and cope. Life will go on after the fall of the Kiev Junta.

A russian troll pretending to be a westerner lol , this is russian rigmarole , no one will stop supporting ukraine and there will be no nuclear destruction from the west , it’s quite simple only a crazy person thinks he can win a nuclear war or by any chance the Russians are immune to radiation?

Ok , nigrilo nigger, keep having your wet dreams. 500 Ukras eliminated today at the front.

The whole Russian narrative how Western country x or y will furnish weapons to strike Russian Crimea /occupied Crimea (depending on your point of view) is not terribly relevant. Any such attack would be spurious. Attacking ships would be more problematic. It would be like the British to stir up trouble or cause pain here and there. It’s up to Russia (and Ukraine) to end this conflict quickly, no matter what the Sea Powers want.

ngrilo91gmail.com

and incompetent and drunk, the great Russian army has not left the same place for 1 year but it does the whole circus for the Russian people, if NATO really flooded Ukraine with weapons and soldiers, surely there was no longer a single Russian in Ukrainian territory

North Koreans won against the US back in the 50ies

Many NATO soldiers disguised as AFU are already 6 feet under. Rest in Feces.
