As of 11/04/21, Russia has been building up troops near their border with Ukraine. Following this, NATO planes have started making public recce flights near crimea, visible on FlightRadar24. This has inspired me to start a thread, where I shall post updates about this, even if nobody even sees these.

Troop buildup is still going on, nothing interesting though. Only thing even mildly worth writing about is that a Royal Air Force RC-135W River Joint took off from RAF Waddington, destination unknown. I'd guess that it's heading to Crimea.

Scratch that. A video of Russian equipment in Crimea has surfaced. The video in question was filmed at the Nizhnegorskaya train station, North-East of Simferopol. It is suspected that the equipment in question belongs to the 76th Air Assault Division. A few days ago, similiar equipment was filmed at the city of Pskov, where the 76th is based from. Some of the vehicles had their markings painted over, possibly trying to conceal Russian involvement. However, some of the vehicles had their insignia left uncovered, this revealed that the vehicles do indeed belong to the 76th. It is highly possible that some of the equipment involved was unloaded in Simferopol, according to imagery. (Source and credit for all of this is, )

A Israeli owned ship was attacked off of the coast of UAE. It is believed that the attack was conducted by Iran, as revenge for the strike on the Natanz Nuclear Reactor, which is owned and operated by the Iranian government.

The Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia, Sergei Ryabkov has made some very threatening comments to the US. Saying "The United States is our adversary ... it will be better for them [US Warships] to stay far away from Crimea and our Black Sea coast. It will be for their own good,"

The United States has cancelled the deployment of two warships to the Black Sea. They've also said that they'll be pulling out all US Troops from Afghanistan by the 11th of September, but i highly doubt that.

This could be a repeat of WW1...
Bunches of countries getting involved in a feud between a few for no reason apart from petty grudges.
