Russian President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday at Moscow’s Red Square Victory Day parade that the world was at a “turning point” and stated factually a “war” had been unleashed against Russia.
He vowed victory and said Russia’s future “rests on” its soldiers fighting in Ukraine.
The traditional Soviet-style event celebrating Moscow’s victory over the Nazis took place amid security fears, 15 months into Russia’s Ukraine offensive.
“Today civilization is again at a decisive turning point,” Putin said at the parade, which included elderly veterans and soldiers from Russia’s Ukraine campaign.
“A war has been unleashed against our motherland,” he claimed.
He called for Russia to be victorious: “For Russia, for our armed forces, for victory! Hurrah!”
The Russian leader has increasingly portrayed the campaign in Ukraine as an existential conflict, which he says the West has escalated by supporting the Ukrainian government.
Putin told soldiers taking part in Moscow’s Ukraine campaign, several hundreds of whom were present at the Red Square parade, that “the whole country is with you.”
“There is nothing more important now than your combat effort,” he said.
“The security of the country rests on you today, the future of our statehood and our people depend on you.”
Putin also railed against “Western globalist elites”, accusing them of sowing conflicts and “coups” around the world.
“Their goal, and there is nothing new here, is to achieve the collapse and destruction of our country,” he said.
The longtime Russian leader vowed that Moscow would overcome this.
“But we have rebuffed international terrorism, we will protect the people of (eastern Ukraine’s) Donbas, we will ensure our security,” he said.
This appeared to be a reference to an unprecedented series of attacks on Russian soil in the run-up to the Victory Day parade, a central event under Putin’s rule.
Large NATO Air Deployment w/ Nuke-Sniffer Aircraft
Something seems to be "up" around the Russia-Ukraine conflict. A large NATO air deployment is presently active; far larger than most prior air saturation.
We begin with A US Air Force "Constant Phoenix" which is a nuke-sniffer aircraft, running an odd air search pattern off the coast of the United Kingdom. This aircraft takes air samples to detect the presence of nuclear material. As seen on e radar tracking image below, the plane seems to be searching for what __may__ be a deployed Russian POSEIDON nuclear drone, or submarines that carry such a drone.
Russia invented this unstoppable nuclear torpedo drone with the idea it can detonate a kilometer beneath the sea so as to generate a "nuclear tsunami" against the coastline of an enemy. If that were to take place, a wave upwards of 1500 METERS tall (4500 feet) would wash-up on an enemy coastline, carrying deadly levels of radiation, and utterly smash everything within about twenty MILES of a coastline.
Worse, because that water would carry heavy doses of radiation, the enemy country would be unable to accommodate life for thousands of years!
Here's the aircraft search patten:
Next, we turn attention to a US "Globalhawk" drone, now probing deep into the Black Sea.
With call sign FORTE11, this flight seems unusual because in the past they have usually stuck to the Romanian Coast.
This appears to be a very aggressive move, leading some observers to conclude "Something is about to happen."
Here's that flight map:
In addition, the following NATO aircraft are also up:
-USAF E8C Joint STARS REDEYE6
-USAF KC135R 63-8039
-USAF KC135R 58-0092
-RAF RC-135W Rivet Joint RRR7209
-USAF RQ-4B Global Hawk FORTE11
-Italian Air Force G550 AEW PERSE71
Here is the flight radar map of those aircraft:
Of significant interest in the aircraft above is the Royal Air Force "Rivet Joint." The RC-135W Rivet Joint is a dedicated electronic surveillance aircraft that can be employed in all theatres on strategic and tactical missions. Its sensors 'soak up' electronic emissions from communications, radar and other systems.
NATO has also deployed a spy plane into Finland, spying all up and down the Russian Border:
Also of import is a Turkish Air Force "Peace Eagle" Early Warning and Control aircraft patrolling from Romania:
The Boeing 737 AEW&C "Peace Eagle" is a twin-engine airborne early warning and control aircraft based on the Boeing 737 Next Generation design. It is lighter than the 707-based Boeing E-3 Sentry, and has a fixed, active electronically scanned array radar antenna instead of a rotating one.
Fueling all of these aircraft are two airborne StratoTankers:
Tensions are now running very high between NATO and Russia. It seems to several observers that EITHER:
a) The Ukraine Offensive may be about to begin, OR
b) NATO is fearing a Russian first strike.
The world has __never__ been this close to an actual nuclear conflict.
