Think surface-to-air missiles and radar there were making it difficult for Ukrainians to fly aircraft as far off as across their southern coast. Previously the Moskva had that function but after it sank they tried to use Snake Island instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Do they offer discounts if you're a member?Well I have also stayed at a Nazi guesthouse in Georgia, so there does seem to be a pattern developing. I'll need to find out how one goes about pledging. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you found out why they have the "NAZI" name? Found another one in Albania through google and am curious if it has different historical resonance out there or just means something different. https://www.facebook.com/Bar-Restorant-Hajdaran-ke-Nazi-426701334192407/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 The Russian Air Force are apparently bombing Snake Island now, presumbly to destroy any equipment left over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Georgia it's a female name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbornbairn Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I think the point is the island is indefensible. It's in a strategic position but it's just a lump of rock with nowhere to hide. Both sides can attack it at will, neither side can defend it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe but the propaganda value of pictures of a Ukrainian flag being raised will be difficult to resist. Some of the weapons the Ukrainians could land by speedboat easily enough like Stingers might be easier to keep safe than weaponry like the Pantsir system that the Russians had installed if there are any bunkers left intact on the island. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You put a flag up on it then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeLurker Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Russian ammunition depots still seem to be exploding regularly: At some point that presumably has to start affecting their ability to keep advancing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
