Mathias Rust, now there's a blast from the past.
You are aware Timmy ( even if you haven't mentioned it...for some reason? ) But in several Russian Citys, multiple communal housing and apartment blocks are without heat because in their zeal to reach their mobilization quotas (and avoid getting sent to the front themselves) they inadvertdly rounded up the heating engineers who kept the whole system up and running. Now they have some serious problems on their hands as its unknown as to how many they will get back, or even if they will get any.
OOPS News Flash: - Several recruiting officers have been arrested for claimed "Irregularities' in the recruitment process. They are now in prison"
How much money to sponsor 1 Ukrainian babushka? $1/day?
From where they can sign up with Wagner and try to locate any heating engineers in the Bakhmut region.
I see speculation it may have been Tu-141 Strizh (1970's soviet technology) drone's used to hit the airfields, like the one that wandered off and crashed in Croatia earlier in the year. Or could be false but designed to further embaress sleepy/drunk russian air defense (what doing?)/
"According to Russian sources"
Cheap as chips and now we know it. Cold weather has its advantages you know.
Russia has stopped using Iranian-made kamikaze drones in Ukraine because they don't work in cold weather, a Ukrainian official said.
Oh interesting, I missed that.
Allegedly Iranian responses through diplomatic channels was “No Backsies”.
Saw this earlier, they really live on a different planet.
Been tried before with limited success.

Hit the district heating systems. Most of their apartment blocks are connected to crude District heating systems without which they'll freeze. You'd manage without electricity but you won't manage without heat.
I suppose that's a win for you so. Congrats.
The clusterfluster continues.
some known rashist admirers here on boards also probably catching an orgasm right now. squirting like a sacred cows all around their rooms.
Damn another cigeratte.
"Observing the Russia-Ukraine War from a Marxist-Leninist-Maoist point of view"
Seriously?
Nice strike on air bases will further strain the orcs I think more physiological and great timing.
Now if they could hit a ship while it fires cruise missiles it might help it self destruct.
Russians getting exposed for incompetentence at every part of its military structure how it continues to function is baffling.
Glad Ukraine continues to up its game.
Russian airbase in Kursk is currently burning after a second successful Ukrainian drone strike inside Russian territory....
The Far Left Canary politics website has been supporting Ukrainian resistance since the war started, I know many self identifying Marxists who have strongly declared that Ukraine must win this war.
There are many sensible voices on the left of the political spectrum & their support of Ukrainian sovereignty should be applauded.

You bet me to it! I think you're spot-on. The TU-141 variants have a range of around 1000km and a cruise speed of 1000kph. The engine noise that I had commented on, heard in the video passing overhead, had sounded very loud for a drone. Well, it turns out that the TU-141 uses a Tumansky turbojet engine which is, in effect, a scaled-down Mig-15 engine, hence the loud note.
It's an incredibly powerful drone, initially launched by a rocket before it switches to it's turbojet engine ( which is why it has an air-intake on the fuselage. The Ukranian engineers could easily swap out the old inertial navigation system for a GPS system for more accuracy. Plus, it's Soviet-era tech, so NATO's hands are tied when it comes to dictating how it can be used.
After capturing the village of Mayorsk, Russia claimed to have found evidence of Ukrainians operating a Satanic cult in one of the houses 🐍
Rebuttal to the nonsense about people "tiring" of Zelenskyy's "antics".
"The president of Ukraine embodies the resilience of his people and has become a standard bearer for liberal democracy"
Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelenskyy is the FT’s person of the year 2022.
Lol they do realise that's a pentagram not The Sigil of Baphomet. Green would not be the colour of choice either White would be. Also missing the old goats head. Also the cross is the wrong way around. Almost like the people who did it believe in the symbolism and cannot draw it. Looking at the people filming.
Russian radar would have lit up like a Christmas tree to have something so big flying over their airspace for so long. There's simply no way they could have not known about it. The obvious conclusion here seems that there was no air defence system within range to shoot this drone down. Perhaps the Russians have been depleting systems in Russia itself to move to defend territory held in Ukraine?
🤣Yes, pointing out the comical ali style propaganda of "100/70 missiles shot down by air defence, in other news all the power is gone" means I'm a putinbot/kremlinite/ruSSian etc etc
!!! BREAKING !!!
!!! Russians have found evidence of USA biological warfare !!!
!!! US have been creating hybrid penis-men who work for the FBI !!!
Russia is geographically massive. No way anyone would cover all that territory with AA.
Does seem highly suspect though that an airbase, you know containing your warmachine infrastructure could be hit. I'd have thought that would be covered. Maybe it is, just they do not have the manpower to operate it.
Considering at the start of the war, Ukraine's air defence was shooting down about ~30% of cruise missiles and now it's ~85%.
Comical Ali style propaganda would be saying there was no cruise missiles, it was a smoking accident. Or the Crimean bridge was operating at full capacity right after the attack.... Or Ukraine are loosing over 500 soldiers a day in Bahkmut etc....
Good turnaround for them.
