Saint George flags waving in the wind against the sky. Black orange striped flags of Victory
Big fans of those old school Desperate Dan bars over there
Yep it was the ammo going off. I'd say none of the crew or any support around that walked away.

Could well be true, but you'd also think the relatives phoning from Ukraine would be onto this and be able to read between the lines. That they say their relatives don't believe them is odd. I suspect though that we only hear outliers and that mostly the message gets through, taken on board and grumbled about locally.
Rumour has it Joe Biden and John Travolta are personally piloting these planes.
Crimean Tartars. And their history with bully boy Russia.
After the invasion in 2014. Thousands were bullied out of Crimea.
Could be a million Russians were brought in after the invasion.
Posters on about blowing up the bridge with Russia and why it hasn't happened.
Just maybe the Ukrainians are hoping the tide is turning in their favour and that bridge will be the road home for the Russians in Crimea.
At risk of being a confirmed Monday Moaner, but I have seen that phrase used everywhere and constantly of late…. It’s the air…..
Insert Jo Brand quote.
a black communist.... I'm sure he would have no problems at all assimilating in Russia, they're very well know for taking a liking to people that aren't the same colour as them
Well their ambassador to Poland is now completely Red so interested to see how he gets in too
The absence of flybys in Russia in my opinion could be Putin's fears of shoulder-launched anti-aircraft weapons wrecking his day. There are clearly fractions in Russia that don't like Putin and I am not referring to those from outside Russia, but the guys standing behind him.
Fair point - it's just another excuse for their nonsense to take hold domestically. Just like on the battlefield, they shouldn't be given any victories in the information war.
You know exactly how they will spin it too. Take a word salad of 'heroic sacrifice', 'neo-Nazis', 'insult to the memory of patriotic heroes' and add a few vowels and conjunctions. 🙄
Think there might be some reaching with the lack of flyovers. I read at the start of the war (no way I'll find it again) something of an account of their training and maintenance and unless something is flying into combat they really don't fly very often and they don't do the kind of training most in the west would do. If they've lost an appreciable number of planes (which they have) and a huge amount are kept in not-working order then along with the pilots they've lost they could already be at the point that the hassle to put on the show isn't worth the logistical headache of getting people/equipment out of the active pool. Hell, airshows will likely be affected in the summer in the west with planes being on standby even though most actual effort will just be logistical runs. Have to be ready.
What's the info war really outside their own country at this stage...
Even if they were all actors throwing that at him, they are fascists.
No, but I'd say some 'flew' away.
Apparently Bono was asked by Zelenskyy to go.
That doesn't explain zero flyovers. At all . It simply doesn't. Theyve had about 7 or 9 jets doing a Z over moskow for weeks getting the shape together. Whatever about canceling multiple country wide flyovers. Cancelling all of them doesn't make sense.
As I said there's something behind it and it's not sure all the pilots and jets are gone.
Simple math? Not enough parts to go around, don't put extra mileage on the jets necessitating repairs/parts/... when you're saving them for...whatever?
Or if a plane was not able to release its ‘load’ it could still user the plane as a missile and ‘land ‘ it straight on the VIP podium
Worried to see that Russia seem to have unveiled a new kind of tank at today's parade. They are very different to the ones seen so far in Ukraine. They seem to have some kind of gun turret on the top and none of them are on fire ...
In the good old days, when the skies weren't clear for Victory Day, the Russkies would simply destroy the offending clouds.
How the mighty have fallen. 😃
If one was to go on Russian double speak that could mean Putin admitting the Eastern regions are lost to Russia and he's getting the "I told you so" about Crimea in now in the fallback hope of playing the innocent victim status that they crave.
Not admitting of course that Crimea is still part of Ukraine and hasn't been signed over to bould Putler.
Well this guy made a big deal of heading to Moscow....
I'd like to believe this is true
Fantastic.
Hope it wasn't quick.

This looks promising if true.
You mean they dont have a turret,cause they pop like coke cans in Ukraine
Pippa Hackett will be onto the Ukranians there is no burning of vegetation after the first of March. FFS it's May now.
