ATTENTION: Geopolitical experts in Brazil confirm that the CIA chief's trip to Russia (where he stayed for 8 hours in Moscow) was to try to convince Putin not to do what he will do below, which will humiliate the US and NATO:

Russia is reportedly preparing a major military mobilization with approximately 500,000 troops and thousands of armored vehicles to open a new front line against Ukraine, in addition to applying military pressure against NATO countries to test the alliance's unity.​

#What is Russia going to do?

Russia is preparing missile and drone attacks against NATO countries (Russia will attack other countries besides Ukraine) — very similar to what Iran does against American bases in the Middle East. And American bases in Poland and the Baltic States COULD be targets, in addition to several NATO bases and countries. Russia is building secret drone bases near the NATO border, capable of reaching:

-Poland (including Warsaw)
-Baltic States (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania)
-Romania
-Parts of Turkey

Drones used:

-Geran-2/3 (Russian version of the Iranian Shahed-136)
-Range: 1,000 km (620 miles)
-Speed: Jet variants (faster than Iranian Shaheds)

#American bases that could be attacked​

- Łask Air Base (Poland)
What's there: F-16 fighter jets from the US Air Force and Poland
Distance from Russia/Belarus border: ~500 km
Within range of Russian drones?

- Rzeszów-Jasionka Base (Poland)​

What's there: US logistics hub for sending weapons to Ukraine
Distance from border: ~200 km
Within range?

- Base of Mihail Kogălniceanu (Romania)​

What's there: American MQ-9 Reaper drones, US troops
Distance from Ukraine/Russia border: ~400 km
Within range?

- Bases in the Baltic States​

What's there: NATO troops (USA, United Kingdom, Germany, Canada)
Distance from Russia border: 50-200 km
Within range?

#Possible attack scenarios​

Attack with drones and missiles on American bases (LIKELY)
What: 10-30 Geran-2 drones + Kalibr or Kh-101 cruise missiles

-US air bases (Łask, Rzeszów, Mihail Kogălniceanu)
-US ammunition depots
-Logistics infrastructure (railways, ports)
-Objective: Send message: "stop sending weapons to Ukraine"
-When: Fall 2026 (September-November)

#Combined attack: drones + ground incursion (POSSIBLE)
What:

-Phase 1: Drones and missiles hit NATO bases
-Phase 2: 50-200 Russian soldiers (without insignia) cross the border and occupy a small village
-Phase 3: Russia says: "it's not us, it's local separatists"

Final Objective: Test NATO Article 5 without declared war

Putin is rich. He will build another plant.

The first instance of a Ukrainian FP-5 cruise missile being hit by machine-gun fire from the Russian mobile fire group "BARS-Kursk" has been recorded. The video was filmed in Russia's Kursk region. Analysis of the flight controller data revealed that the missile was launched from Ukraine's Sumy region and was targeting a strategic facility in the Tula region. The wreckage of the missile, bearing bullet holes, is shown at the end of the video.

Total quagmire for Putin and Russia. Losing 30k-40K troops a month and 1.6M casualties, homeland getting smashed on a daily basis by Ukr drones and missiles. We’re nearing the end of the summer fighting season, and Russia has made almost no progress on the front line this year.

So many posters here tried to convince me around 2023-24 it was only a matter of time until Ukr lines broke, and Russia hadn’t gotten themselves into a disastrous war. Jokes on you guys, I told you so.
