An update on the passport thing, perhaps it is not for the men that were replaced by the 'masked gunmen' that took over and as part of 'their demands' it is to 'surrender' to 'the red army' and the temporary Government as seconded it in a televised statement.
Is that even English? (I certainly make enough mistrakes on my own, but seriously WTF??? Are you that nervous that the Rothschild plan isn't going to play out like they promised 'your side'?)
Steal, there isn't even anybody in a Russian uniform in sight although the forced citizenship for the former security forces does look mighty suspicious. Guess 'we' will have to wait for their return after the elections, March 30 in Crimea and May in the rest although 'they' did not specify what year.
The West better get used to Crimea being spelled in Russian, that is the way this battle went. NATO still has the rest of the Nation for military bases, out-dated tactics when Russia made it clear some months back that her that R&D was based on drones and defensive weapons.
Defense meaning something protecting Moscow can also have the range to protect any island off their east coast. Patriot are still medium range at best and the reentry is none powered so maneuvering is limited and a sound shockwave coming from below would be enough to send it higher. What can't be stopped is the munitions that come out the end of the shoulder launched series it the projectile sprouts fins after launch and targeting is a wi-fi or laser targeting device that is over a hill and around two corners rather than needing a direct line of sight that is normal for most anti-tank weapons.
This is hardly a purely defensive weapon but it needs forward bases when Russia is the target.

(It needs a hitch on the back so 1 tractor can full 6 or more at a time on their way to the front lines) Russia could use something of similar size but containing many 'bomblets' that are targeted rather than a random scattering and half their weight could be used for attack patterns to be utilized so tracking was possible but interception was not. Useful for urban warfare when 64 and more targets are included, mountains use would mean only the hot spots were selected as hits. High flying drones would collect the data and feed it to the weapons and to the base where the data comes from to guide the munition after it has left the 'barrel'. That leaves the delivery crew time to reload or remove themselves to a safer location.
Be somewhat ironic if the old 'duck and cover' propaganda of the '50's was actually the solution to being safe from high altitude attack is to create an explosion high in the sky that will shatter windows on the ground and in a 'directed energy way that would mean 90% of the sound was ejected upwards and anything above it would be heavily damaged and direction being only outwards.
