Any military operation that has been expected for months usually fails because the opponent has had plenty of time to plan a defence. Most successful operations are surprise operations, but not all surprise attacks work against a prepared opponent.

Expected attacks can work if there's overwhelming force. An example is #DesertStorm.
Example of successful surprise operations: #PearlHarbor, The #Incheon Landings in the #KoreanWar, #OperationUranus at #Stalingrad in October 1942 that encircled the #German #SixthArmy.

An example of a failed attack because there was no surprise in it was #OperationCitadel at the #BattleofKursk in June 1943. The expected line of attack was obvious to everyone because of the disposition of troops.

#Whatwerethedesignersthinking when they put the radars for Trophy APS on the front, on top of the main armor. Now, I love #Leopard2, IMO it is the best tank in service today. #Germans did nothing wrong, except these radars. #εpsilon 
The frontal 60 degree arc is said to be most suceptible for enemy hits and the #Germans placed the critical radars on the front armor. Makes no sense at all. Look at #Americans on their #M1Abrams. The radar is off to the sides. It is still exposed though.

"Germans are good people. They suffered a lot after World War II. They are well aware that such actions (of their government) will not lead to anything good.

The protests were held in parallel with the currently taking place World Security Conference, whose central theme is the conflict in Ukraine and the supply of arms to the Kiev regime. sanasyria.org/es/?p=287966
The German newspaper “Süddeutsche” reported that around 20 rallies and demonstrations were organized, with the aim of drawing the attention of the international community to the need to stop sending weapons to Ukraine in order to end the conflict there.

In part, this reflects the predictable late autumn weather in Eastern Europe, which leaves battlefields waterlogged and clogged with mud and greatly inhibits mobility.

(1/23) This thread is mainly addressed to my #German followers, but it could also be interesting for those who always wanted to know how Germany could become the most culturally leftist country on the European continent. Accordingly, this thread is a #political #commentary by me.
(2/23) It is about the historical personality of the first post-war chancellor, Konrad Adeneauer. I also would like to finally dispel a myth that still plagues German conservatives, by which I do not mean recationaries, but all those who do not want to destroy their own country.
The #AfD appears to be making a comeback, thanks largely to cost-of-living & energy crises caused by NATO's policies viz. #Russia in #Ukraine aljazeera.com/features/2022/…
2/ In October’s regional elections in the eastern state of Lower Saxony, the AfD gained nearly 12 percent of the votes, an increase compared with previous elections.
3/ Polls, including one by the strategic research company Pollytix, show overall support for the party has gone up from about 11 percent across Germany to nearly 15 percent nationally since July.

Some observers may conclude from current Ukrainian military advances that #Ukraine does not need that many weapons any more. Victory for Kyiv looks more & more possible. Seemingly, the rationale for heavily arming Ukraine is weakening in view of Kyiv's impressive recent gains. /1
However, Ukraine precarious location in a geopolitical grey zone will not change any time soon. As long as Ukraine is neither a NATO nor a full EU member, the country will have to take care of its security itself. Russia may either continue now or resume later its aggression. /2
An as heavy, comprehensive and modern as possible arming of #Ukraine has thus not only a tactical dimension. It is not only necessary for a successful completion of the current counter-offensive, and eventual achievement of a peace deal with Moscow that is acceptable to Kyiv. /3
#OTD in 1909 Józef Noji was born in Pęckowo, Poland. One of the best long-distance runners of the 2nd Polish Republic he was executed by the #Germans in #Auschwitz. #ReparationsForPoland #PolishHistory #Olympics #history #twitteristorians #SportHistory @Olympics
He was an Olympian, multiple champion of 🇵🇱 in the 5000, 10000 & cross country running but also a tram driver.
Noji could have been registered for the "Volksliste" in the 1930s as he had 🇩🇪 roots, but he strictly refused, and joined the 🇵🇱 resistance when #WWII broke out.

He was arrested on 18 Sep'40 and was initially kept at #Pawiak. After a year, he was transported to @auschwitz, where in Feb'43, in death block 11, he was shot in the neck for allegedly smuggling a letter. He was posthumously awarded the Cross of Valor.

On 23Dec.1947,Stalin signed a resolution by the Council of Ministers of the USSR on the resettlement of Azerbaijani kolkhoz members and other Azerbaijanis from the Armenian SSR to the lowlands of the Kur & Araz rivers.On 10Mar.1948,a further resolution on resettlement was signed.
Textual study of the #resolutions by the Council of Ministers of the #USSR shows that they had complete disregard for #human and civil #rights. #Azerbaijanis were removed, not from certain territories, as stated, but from the whole of #Armenia.
It becomes clear that the aim was to oust all #Azerbaijanis from #Armenia. According to the last, 11th, Article of the #resolution dated 23 December 1947, it was intended to settle foreign #Armenians in Armenia in place of the deported #Azerbaijanis.
WHERE ON EARTH IS UKRAINE? A BRIEF REFLECTION ON RECENT GERMAN TALK SHOWS
1. No paradigm shift has yet happened in public German perceptions of the "#RussianWar:" For most politicians and commentators, #Ukraine keeps being far away. @UKRinDEU @GermanyinUA

2. Many #Germans subconsciously picture the war the following way. Of course, we are aware that formally #Ukraine is close. But, deep in our souls, we know that Ukraine lies between #Tibet and #Bhutan. Our #Germany, in contrast, is here, close, safe, and warm.
3. We want to keep it that way. Ukraine will have no choice but to stay behind the Himalayas while we will continue living in our old home, the #EU-#NATO continent. Such is life... Sure, we have lots of interest, empathy, and respect for #Ukrainians.

Around 3000 BCE in eastern #Europe, a Proto-Balto-Slavic #language started to diverge from #ProtoIndoEuropean.
The #Slavic branch of the #IndoEuropean #languages began about 2,000 years later when Proto-Slavic deviated from Proto-Balto-Slavic.

As the #Slavic-speaking area expanded during the first millennium CE (striped area on map), Proto-Slavic transitioned to Common Slavic. The #language underwent minor changes that occurred mostly uniformly across eastern #Europe, thereby maintaining mutual intelligibility.
Around the year 1000 CE #CommonSlavic began to split into the South, West, and East branches to which all modern #Slavic #languages belong.
Roughly 315m people speak a Slavic #language, mostly in Eastern #Europe (including the #Balkan peninsula), #CentralAsia, and #Siberia.

The feeling of being held up is apparently present in many, they feel attacked. It is quite paradoxical: Although in surveys almost 90 percent say that belonging to #Germany is the knowledge of the history of National Socialism. Nevertheless, especially the #youth find today:
My #grandfather was already no longer involved, at some point is also good times. Interestingly, this is not just a #German phenomenon, but in the whole of #Europe, such as in #Poland and #Hungary, but also in #Spain or the #UnitedKingdom.
