The pope hasn't been German for quite some time.
They were flying during the invasion and post invasion of Ukraine ,the screen shots are all over this thread
The Americans have Said they are flying over ukraine
,and your saying no
You're posting screenshots of flights which were taken before Russia invaded. Of course they were overflying before Russia invaded Ukraine; but they absolutely have not been overflying since the invasion.
The same way actual NATO military and paramilitary forces were boots on the ground in Ukraine training troops and (allegedly) fighting the separatists... before the invasion.
He's just yet another tone deaf German. Some of the others are showing encouraging sign their hearing is improving with time , perhaps his will too.
Any evidence since this latest invasion started? I haven’t seen one NATO aircraft show up on FR24 over Ukraine since it started.
Now might be a good time to hold that postponed Minuteman test. Russia is acting as if it has forgotten that it isn't the only wielder of big sticks.
A Global Hawk has been over Ukraine since February 24th? They have not.
The screenshot you attached is from February 15th!
@ronivek And no the Global Hawks have not been flying over Ukraine or Mariupol; they have been conducting surveillance flights from significant distances outside of Ukrainian airspace along with all the other NATO air assets as shown below:
Yes they absolutely Have ,
I've and others have Shared flight radar tracking showing global hawks over ukraine and Mariupol
This is just one example
A brilliant powerful video

The long range missile is suppose to be be for high value targets,like AWACS and fuel tankers not fighter,missiles or faster bombers,but it needs AWACS support or use of over the horizon radar to be able to get a good radar lock at that range,and also data link to send midcourse updates back to the S400.
Russia havent showed they master this capability yet
Also the range of radar also depends on landscape and geographical location,hills,mountains,masts,trees anything that will prevent the radar signal to bounce of a target.
Does anyone here know the capability of the various classes of tactical nuclear weapons? Think I read before that they dont have (or some dont anyway) a warhead that leaves radioactive fallout in the atmosphere so they are nowhere as near destructive as full nuclear weapons where the surviving population later dies from cancer from the radioactivity. But that they can obliterate everything in a specific space, as small as 1km2 for the smallest of warheads. They seem like the type of weapon that can take out a specific facility or location without causing as much death as a full scale nuclear weapon.
Id wonder would Putin use them, either as a way of finishing off the Azov resistance in the aluminium plant in Mariupol or hitting Kiev in an effort to kill Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian leadership. Like he allowed chemical weapons to be used in Syria and that wasnt a red line, could he do similar with a small tactical nuke without any US or NATO reaction? If it only kills a limited amount of people in a small area would there even be a response? That seems to be the way he got away with using chemical weapons in Syria, the deaths from them werent all that high. It might have been a different story has they been used to poison the residents of a whole city with mass scale casualties in the tens of thousands. There seems to be degrees with these things in how far he is allowed to go before intervention happens.
The Pope's Way of the Cross prosession yesterday has not gone down too well in Ukraine:-
.
but but but.... Iraq....
Only Russia could spin a loss into a glorious win.
NATO poked and proded us, but, we were the bigger nation, we are the heros who saved the world.
The US should demand an end to arms supplies to Ukraine i.e. to Russian troops in Ukraine !
I guess it wasn't just the US who got those post it notes yesterday:-
NATO could become an excuse for Putin to back off. He could then claim he's acting the hero by not rising to the bait and triggering WW3
However none of us can have much idea as to what his thinking is, and he may equally feel as if he's going to get taken out one way or other so to hell with the rest of the world
Is this better?
1. Civil War in Georgia or South Ossetian War (+ war against the independent press, opposition politicians, democracy, and all forms of protest and dissent, and of course, the truth)

The main damage might not be the physical / military effect it will have ( and I'm pretty sure that it will have a negative effect there too) but the demoralizing psychological / prestige damage will be massive. And will not do anything to quell the rumblings of discontent, because despite the silence in that department, you can be sure that there are rumblings of discontent.
A year ago I began wondering: what happens in Syrian media when Mick Wallace and Clare Daly speak in support of viewpoints held by the Assad regime?
I set up an alert for their names when used in Arabic, Russian and Chinese.
Follow me down the rabbit hole:
How Russian war apologists Clare Daly and Mick Wallace have become the two most followed Irish people on Chinese social media (Conor McGregor was no. 3 for the record).
An absolute must read for any Irish person.

I would doubt nato aircraft would be landing directly into ukraine if it was and it was shot down things would kick off id say it was ukrainian
I shouldnt have laughed, considering the cost of human lives - but Russia has brought this on themselves
Slava Ukraini
Yeah but the TB2s are a good bit smaller than the Predator and significantly smaller than the Reaper. Also in case you hadn't noticed they can't use the TB2s offensively anymore since Russia have tightened up their air defences and collapsed to the south and east of the country.
The only TB2 footage we have seen lately is of them being used in a surveillance role from significant distance: you only do that if you can't get close enough to fire your short-range missiles.
And no the Global Hawks have not been flying over Ukraine or Mariupol; they have been conducting surveillance flights from significant distances outside of Ukrainian airspace along with all the other NATO air assets as shown below:
Perhaps another reason to officially declare war.
The quote I read was that they have a "large modern army" but the part that is modern (e.g. cruise missiles) is not large and the part that is large is not modern.
Would Ukraine really fly any weapons in by plane? It sounds rather unlikely.....surely everything would be done by rail or on road.
Putin won't back off this means that the West can prepare for escalation.
