Rod Stirling2022-01-14 16:24
Its a large Naval Air Base for Russian Naval aviation. It was upgraded a few years ago.
It does a lot of flight training and aircraft maintenance. The second Google image shows aircraft awaiting maintenance.
These images are what Google has up currently and are dated by Google as 10/09/2021. If you roll through the historical images you will be able to better gage what the vegetation looks like at this time of year.
Using duckduckgo and searching for live satellite views I found a link here:
https://www.newearthmaps.com/
It shows kalinigrad to be clear of snow, but a storm to the east. Also, the airport at Chernyakhovsk does show some military aircraft on the tarmacs.
The pictures I questioned with the lack of snow, but, satellite images confirm there are aircraft on the ground and lack of snow on the ground there.
Thanks Hal.

I attempted to locate my house on this satellite view and it is a using GIS data from the spring of last year. I can tell from image of my acreage, there are buildings missing I put in and no snow on the ground, which my yard is full of at the present time.
So, sorry... this imagery from this link I posted above is old. I should have checked a KRP (Known Reference Point) first.
I will see if I can find a live one... it will be dark there now... so, it will be difficult to tell.

It's the middle of winter in Kaliningrad and it looks like it must be a mild one with all the green grass and fully leaved trees. Also no snow on the ground anywhere. Seems suspicious to me if it's supposed to be a recent photo.

But of course, the trees have lost their leaves about a couple of months ago, which gives us good reasons to doubt the images above. Besides, those aren't bombers. I am no aviation expert, but to me they are just regular fighter jets based on that airbase.
Hal, I call BS with these images... No date time group for this well known airbase in Kaliningrad area. "Bombers" are parked in a manner that suggests they may be non-operational SU-24 Fencers. The twenty Sukhoi fighters on the ramp could be Flankers. They we there in MAR 2021 on Google Earth imagery. Check for yourself and ask your sources for imagery data please.

I never thought they'd go after Ukraine. Why go after Ukraine when it's the US that is causing all the trouble? We want Russia's natural resources (remember Madeleine Allbright saying that Siberia was just too big (and rich) for one country to control?), and at least we want them in a clearly inferior, vassal position (so we can take what we want). Most of Ukraine DOES speak Russian, although many in western Ukraine (Kiev) very much want to be part of the west. Those in the east who wanted to be part of the west migrated in 2014-2015 to Kiev and thereabouts. They left the Donbass. Even in the west, many many people speak Russian as a first language, or are at least bilingual Ukrainian/Russian. They often have relatives in Russia. It should be noted that after 2014 Kiev outlawed Russian as an official language. This, I suppose, hearkens back to Stalin's outlawing of Ukraine language, literature, history, etc. I understand why the Ukrainians are still furious at Russia: Stalin really did a number on them. It should be remembered that he, and Communism in general, really did a number on Russians as well. Putin will give it one more try, sort of, by installing weapons near Nato and the US, to see if we finally remember Cuba and get the picture.If that doesn't work, he will go directly after NATO, and the US. He will avoid Ukraine territory as mush as possible.
Would not this area be especially vulnerable to attack by NATO ?

But how is it humanly possible for seasoned pros like Ryabkov and Grushko to argue, rationally, with a bunch of amateur blind bats such as Blinken, Sullivan, Nuland and Sherman?
There has been some serious speculation on the timeframe ahead for Russia to in fact not even bother to listen to the American “baby babble” (copyright Maria Zakharova) anymore. Could be around 2027, or even 2025.
What’s happening next is that the five-year extension of the new START treaty expires in February 2026. Then there will be no ceiling for nuclear strategic weapons. The Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline to China will make Gazprom even less dependent on the European market. The combined Russia-China financial system will become nearly impervious to U.S. sanctions. The Russia-China strategic partnership will be sharing even more substantial military tech.
All of that is way more consequential than the dirty secret that is not a secret in the current “security guarantees” kabuki: the exceptionalist, “indispensable” nation is congenitally incapable of giving up on the forever expansion of NATO to, well, outer space.
At the same time, the Russians are very much aware of a quite prosaic truth; the U.S. will not fight for Ukraine.
So welcome to Instagrammed Irrationalism. What happens next? Most possibly a provocation, with the possibility, for instance, of a chemical black ops to be blamed on Russia, followed by – what else – more sanctions.
The package is ready. It comes in the form of a bill by Dem senators supported by the White House to bring “severe costs” to the Russian economy in case Moscow finally answers their prayers and “invades” Ukraine.
Sanctions would directly hit President Putin, Prime Minister Mishustin, Foreign Minister Lavrov, the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces Gen Gerasimov, and “commanders of various branches of the Armed Forces, including the Air Force and Navy.”
The 2 satellite images are not current. It’s winter in Eastern Europe in like the ground is snow covered and the trees are bare. These images appear to be taken in the summer.

The leak was most likely from the Logistics Planning Headquarters at the Armed Forces Support Inspectorate in Bydgoszcz
Information found on the web includes armament of the Polish army, ammunition, spare parts for combat machines and specialized software
The equipment disclosed also includes the one purchased by the Polish army in the USA, Germany and Israel
– These are strategic data that, for example, Russia’s intelligence is seeking, says General Piotr Pytel, former head of the Military Counterintelligence Service. In his opinion, such information is worth a lot of money

Smiley1984*!2022-01-14 11:48
Why marshal Russian forces to the west if you do not intend an attack on Ukraine? Does this mean Russia will attack another country in Europe, or is it expecting to have to defend against an attack on the Donbass by Ukraine and allied forces? Will the US try to stop any deployment of missiles in Cuba or Venezuela? Hal, how we will know if you have decided to "bug out"?
I am not smart enough to see all this, but do speak German and Arlois Irlmaier saw all of this over 60 years ago, so he should get the footnote.

The Russia-China strategic partnership will be sharing even more substantial military tech.
All of that is way more consequential than the dirty secret that is not a secret in the current “security guarantees” kabuki: the exceptionalist, “indispensable” nation is congenitally incapable of giving up on the forever expansion of NATO to, well, outer space.
At the same time, the Russians are very much aware of a quite prosaic truth; the U.S. will not fight for Ukraine.
So welcome to Instagrammed Irrationalism. What happens next? Most possibly a provocation, with the possibility, for instance, of a chemical black ops to be blamed on Russia, followed by – what else – more sanctions.
The package is ready. It comes in the form of a bill by Dem senators supported by the White House to bring “severe costs” to the Russian economy in case Moscow finally answers their prayers and “invades” Ukraine.
Sanctions would directly hit President Putin, Prime Minister Mishustin, Foreign Minister Lavrov, the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces Gen Gerasimov, and “commanders of various branches of the Armed Forces, including the Air Force and Navy.”

Statement of the Ministry of National Defense on the http://Onet.pl article "A gigantic data leak from the army": The case is being analyzed in detail by the services. It is being clarified whether a leak took place https://liveuamap.com/en/2022/14-january-statement-of-the-ministry-of-national-defense via @JedrzejTomczak
A gigantic data leak from the military. Over 1.7 million items on the Internet
[link to sparkchronicles.com (secure)]
The leak was most likely from the Logistics Planning Headquarters at the Armed Forces Support Inspectorate in Bydgoszcz
Information found on the web includes armament of the Polish army, ammunition, spare parts for combat machines and specialized software
The equipment disclosed also includes the one purchased by the Polish army in the USA, Germany and Israel
– These are strategic data that, for example, Russia’s intelligence is seeking, says General Piotr Pytel, former head of the Military Counterintelligence Service. In his opinion, such information is worth a lot of money
Does this mean Russia will attack another country in Europe, or is it expecting to have to defend against an attack on the Donbass by Ukraine and allied forces?
Will the US try to stop any deployment of missiles in Cuba or Venezuela?
Hal, how we will know if you have decided to "bug out"?
Poor Poland having to be between Russia and Germany, again!
I won't give it away, but it is non nuke (in Europe), Russians lose and the Chinks that try us out West lose too. Kicks off with a high profile assassination.
Not just Ukrainian servers got hacked. In Poland 1,8 million data points of military equipment, units were put online. That is the state of Polish F-16s or the location of single soldiers.
Ukrainian Central Intelligence Agency of the Ministry of Defense reports that Russian special services are preparing provocations against servicemen of the Russian Armed Forces to accuse Ukraine of this
Lavrov: "We have grounds to believe the US and NATO could start building up forces near Russia in the coming months, using the tensions around Ukraine as a pretext."
The Russian Federation did not try to play any games when it put forward US and NATO proposals on security, - Lavrov said.

Russia responds to US claims that they halted Ukraine invasion because of “muddy ground” Russia says: “We wouldn’t count on meteorologists being 100% accurate. This calls for more potent experts.
It is now almost certain that Putin will attempt to occupy at least parts of Ukraine very soon

NATO to accept Sweden, Finland very quickly if they decide to join alliance — Stoltenberg
NSA Sullivan won't put any likelihood on Russia invading Ukraine. "All we can do is get ready, and we are ready," he says.
As Russia deploys the new 3M22 Tsirkon anti-ship hypersonic missile in the Barents Sea,
NATO has decided to send two aircraft carriers "HMS Prince of Wales" and the "USS Harry S Truman" to the Norwegian-led exercise ColdResponse.
Which is an absolute admission that he is surrounding Russia in preparation for a first strike option.
What an ass.
Ukraine and Georgia unanimously admitted to NATO
Stoltenberg announced the admission of Ukraine and Georgia to NATO.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg announced that the member countries of the North Atlantic Alliance decided to accept Ukraine and Georgia into NATO. This happened literally two days after the negotiations between Russia and the Alliance in Brussels failed, where the main point of Russian demands was NATO's public refusal to expand at the expense of Ukraine and Georgia.
Above ...truth or fake? Not sure
The unexpected appearance of the USS New Mexico submarine near Russia's northern borders forced the Russian military to take prompt action to blockade the American submarine. At the moment, the American submarine carrying the Tomahawk cruise missiles remains in the territorial waters of Norway, since its approach to the Russian borders is impossible due to the measures taken.
Ukraine Military Intel reported Russian special services are preparing false flag operation against Russian soldiers and targeting arms depot in Transnistrian region of Moldova where Putin has peacekeepers to create a pretext to attack Ukraine.

The Biden Administration has negative political capital. They are desperate. And desperate people do desperate things. Internally they are discussing military options in Eastern Europe. Wag the Dog begins
