Russia has probably called for the ceasefire just in order to move air defense systems off the border and closer to Moscow.

It's too bad we can't do a direct strike on the military units that are part of the parade.

It's probably not a good use of resources as all the air defense is there and there's a chance of killing a foreign leader. Best to blow up everything else that's had its air defense pulled away. But the temptation to humiliate Putin is always there.

There's also the point that foreign leaders visiting Ukraine have so far not (seemingly) been directly targeted. It's not in Ukraine's interest to set a precedent for targeting foreign leaders in the country. Not that russia has ever cared about precedent, but this is one thing they actually haven't done already, so it's probably best to avoid it.

Also, foreign leaders getting hit is a pretty sure route to having more countries step in on russias side.

On the other hand, if they were able to strike military units in the parade before they get to the red square, that would be a show of force hitting a legitimate military target without the risk of hitting foreign leaders, and with fewer civilians around. This parade could get interesting...

You are correct of course.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

No one is holding anyone back, except the air defences.

It is a valid military target.

Finally a parade worth watching!

[–] Skiluros@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I meant it's not viable in the practical sense.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Oh but it is! What are you talking about?

[–] trslim@pawb.social 5 points 2 months ago

I would personally drop pro ukrainian leaflets on moscow en-mass

Now I know how they’re gonna get Belarus involved…. They’ll be at the parade, false flag operation by Russia kills some random high ranking official, they both blame Ukraine and now Belarus enters the fight.
