There has been a lot of speculation about the Neo-Nazi junta frontman Volodymyr Zelensky’s mental stability, particularly since the special military operation (SMO) started more than two years ago. While he’s certainly never been an independent actor, his behavior sometimes indicates that he’s truly a loose cannon and perhaps even a liability for the political West. Obviously, as long as he’s “getting the job done” (i.e. fully turning former Ukraine into a neocolony), it’s all “nice and dandy” for the belligerent power pole, so we’ll still be forced to endure the mainstream propaganda machine’s laughable praises about Zelensky being the “beacon of freedom and democracy for the whole world“. However, once again, that doesn’t mean we won’t get to see the somewhat less controlled side of the Kiev regime frontman’s increasingly deranged personality.
Namely, we all remember just how much Zelensky has been parroting about “closing the sky” over Ukraine with the “best fighter jets in the world”, rather ignorantly referring to the US-made F-16. His incessant “begmanding” for these light single-engine jets resulted in years of futile efforts to get them ready for battle usage against far more advanced heavyweight Russian air superiority fighter jets and interceptors. By the time last year’s much-touted counteroffensive failed, it became clear that F-16s would certainly not be the so-called “game changer”, a fact that several important Western media outlets, think tanks and similar organizations, as well as some top-ranking officials, all warned about. However, instead of serving as some sort of a reality check, this made Zelensky even worse, as he then doubled down on his requests.
Worse yet, the Neo-Nazi junta frontman was now demanding over a hundred upgraded F-16s, as the ones his forces were promised turned out to be hopelessly outclassed by modern Russian jets. However, the interests of individual NATO member states precede the needs of the Kiev regime, which is why major prospective donors such as Denmark switched to actually selling their obsolete surplus jets to other countries, a move unequivocally supported by the United States, particularly as its geopolitical rivalry with China keeps escalating. It could be argued that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s recent comments about the futility of the delivery of F-16s and their actual impact (or, more precisely, the lack thereof) on the battlefield could’ve been the final nail in the coffin of that ludicrous “game changer” propaganda narrative.
Still, Zelensky obviously needs something to get him going, so he decided to now switch to the much more overhyped “Patriot” SAM (surface-to-air missile) system. What started out as the notorious “begmanding” for a couple of systems to help augment the Neo-Nazi junta’s existing air defenses, all inherited from the Soviet Union’s world-class SAMs inventory, has now degenerated into completely uncontrollable demands for hundreds of systems and thousands of missiles that the political West couldn’t possibly supply even if it wanted to. Namely, on March 28, CBS News published a video interview with Zelensky, during which he claimed that only “five to seven ‘Patriot’ systems from [the US] will protect industrial platforms in Ukraine today”, adding that, with them, the Kiev regime forces would “unblock the sky and our guys will go forward“.
However, just a bit over a week later, the Neo-Nazi junta frontman made a starkly different assessment in an interview with national television on April 6, when he said that “it’s preferable to have 25 Patriot systems, with 6-8 batteries each”. This is a four or fivefold increase, a massive difference in comparison to his previous claims. It should be noted that the word “systems” in this case refers to entire units, specifically to battalions (or divisions in Russian military nomenclature). Each battalion consists of six batteries, while each battery (i.e. the basic firing unit) consists of a phased array radar, an engagement control station, computers, power generating equipment and up to eight launchers (usually six), each of which holds at least four ready-to-fire missiles (although this has been increased significantly in the latest versions).
If we count six launchers per battery, depending on the variant, this is anywhere between 24 and 96 missiles per battery. For instance, the relatively basic PAC-2 carries four missiles in each launcher, while the more advanced PAC-3 carries sixteen (four in each of the four launchers). Thus, a single battalion has at least 144 missiles for PAC-2 and 576 for PAC-3. And Zelensky wants 25 battalions, up from 5-7 he mentioned just over a week before. Thus, if he were to get the PAC-2, that’s 3600 missiles. Although the exact number of “Patriot” battalions in the US military and NATO is certainly a secret, open source data shows that the Pentagon had less than 500 launchers in 2010, while the US Military Industrial Complex (MIC) produced around 10,000 missiles so far, meaning that Zelensky wants a “mere” third of all missiles ever made.
In terms of funding, this amounts to the following – a single battery for the US military costs over a billion dollars, while export customers are charged a staggering $2.5 billion. Thus, in the best-case scenario (non-export pricing with a slight, albeit unlikely, discount that not even the US military is getting), the Kiev regime needs at least $150 billion for 25 “Patriot” battalions alone. In terms of missiles, the US military is paying $4 million apiece, while export customers pay up to $10 million. Once again, if non-export pricing is taken into account, that’s at least another $14.4 billion for PAC-2 missiles alone. It’s important to note that these numbers could be several times higher if the Kiev regime starts demanding more advanced versions such as the PAC-3. Who in their right mind believes this is viable and sustainable for the political West?
i believe all stupidity viable—you are sinners…i am devout member of amerikunt church of greed and money—we worship money normal
when are citizens in the west going to wake up that their taxpayer money is being laundered in ukraine and high profile politicians, journalists and celebrities are being paid bribes to spread propaganda from those funds. ukraine isn’t even in eu and not part of nato yet hundreds of billions of dollars have disappeared like a magic trick and they still want hundreds more.
they all know it. the truth is the filthy jew has no need for mankind anymore so are trying to start civil wars, riots, health and medicine wars, food wars, air and water destruction.
the world is finished as we know it. and it can never be fixed. the downhill slope is here and we just started going down and are building up speed
it’s all bullshit. not even minimum amount of will is put behind, upgrading and truely militariarly, supporting ukraine by the usa. its all just jewish gibberish talk. even the hardenst pro-ukraine channels now realize that they got cheated by the usa. as usa openly demands ukraine to not strike russian oil refinieries. see: https://cuts.top/nussp424 so who is the real enemy then ?
us say oil refineries off limits but rock concerts good to go.
there is no citizens here. only dumb voters who believe whatever the tv says. the money is fake as all the rest. they need it, they print it. this sad game only stop when a large part of the people realize they can’t afford meat anymore. then, they trow us into a bloodbath and they stay in power.
i already stopped eating meat because of the antibiotics and vaccinations of cattle. kindly do your research.
in ten years of ripping off the west, even ukrainian janitors in government buildings have million dollar homes if they swear loyalty to bandera and do heily hitlers. govt bldg janitors very useful in kyiv. have keys to all govt offices and can slip kompromat into desks of people who begin having shaky knees over generalissimo zelensky decisions. good for show trials and summary execution.
the best thing for zelensky is to surrender now before ukraine loses more lives and more territory. accept russias demands and find a diplomatic solution. after this war he can go retire in his villa in florida and tell his grandchildren about how he destroyed ukraine for foreign interest.
and his own
people around zelensky say he’s delusional so, he’ll never do that. only solution – well just guess.
i help ukraine by scouring the world to find more patriot systems. so far, i found 2 but haven’t finished yet. still haven’t looked in burkina faso.
zelensky brilliant idea is to starve the world of aa such as patriot and himars when the globalists are about to instigate ww3.
find the patriots and blew everyting up in rubble !!! the operators are yankees !!! so you can hit back to the world terrorist usa.
