F16s,F18s,and A10s can take off and land on highways it's recently become more common to see being practiced in Nato countries,
The Saab gripen is cheaper and modern of the three aircraft and cheaper per hour to operate if I remember correctly
Seems th Ukrainians are subscribing to your views ,
And not for the first time
How long till they rush the commander and use the baton on him?
Be some craic if these were the same 10..🤣
Foxhunting season in Ukraine.
Thought this would be of interest.
The French had a bit of bother with a Russian church in Paris a few years back and said very much he same IE the Russians orthodox and their lot are basically FSB units.
I speculated something might be happening in Kremenna yesterday.
It's not quite confirmation, but there's lots of chatter from both sides that fighting is taking place.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces are having success in the Luhansk region - Kremenna is practically ours, it is a matter of tactics, it is cut off from the North, the Russians are beginning to withdraw their combat forces from Svatove to avoid encirclement.
The Russians are gradually beginning to look for ways to explain another military defeat.

Kremenna, Luhansk People's Republic, Russia.
From the field reports:
The situation is very tense. The Ukrainian armed forces have been shelling towns and villages all day long.
Also during the day Ukrainian Armed Forces made two (unsuccessful) attempts to break through.

Popcorn time.
I don't know how reliable this source is,but interesting none the less.
Its been long speculated that he's ill. Certainly his face in the last couple of years, has the appearance of a man taking many steroids, which can be used to mask the effects of debilitating medical treatment, such as that for cancer.
Hopefully he does die as soon as possible. I'm aware that its most likely that he would be replaced by someone else in his likeness, but perhaps the interruption could be enough to allow the ending of the conflict.
If you look at some of the photos when he was in Belarus,one of his hands or fingers look very swollen and very damaged,in some of the photos his fingers are closed like he's trying to keep them from view
I mean I'd give him some credit if he dropped a fake hand out of his suit as a troll, it would be his only redeeming action in his entire career.
He hasn't groomed anyone to take over according to any reports I have read on succession. When he does go there will be a period of instability.
In the cold world of geopolitics Putin is the person he is but he is the devil the west knows.
What comes after might be just chaos or something worse.
I'd imagine any US or British Army officer who watched a so called "commander" attack his own men like that with a baton would describe him as an absolute disgrace and unfit to wear a uniform. He's more like a member of a criminal gang or a convict in prison. No wonder discipline is through the floor if that's the type of violent thug that's "leading" them.
Russian Major General beating 10 soldiers for evacuating 2 wounded
I will not buy any more of the Putin is ill and on the way out talk; until seeing official confirmation of this. That Russian president is doing far too much acting over the years to be trusted. What he is clearly doing right now is playing up to his home audience. A vast number of Russians are ill from covid, and God knows what else. It will make them feel a bit better to see the Boss is suffering too. There is also the stalling technique the Russians have been trying lately, they clearly need 'time-out'. If Ukraine think Putin is very ill they may ease off on counteractions in the hope that he will kick the bucket
"If Ukraine think Putin is very ill they may ease off on counteractions in the hope that he will kick the bucket"
What kind of extremely dumb ass thinking is that? The opposing general is sick, let's take easy on him!
I suppose it follows that if Putin was on his death bed and still bombing Ukraine they would stop all counteractions altogether.
The Russian claim is absurd.
They're essentially saying the drone travelled about 2 hours unopposed covering a trip of 700km, but it was literally in the last couple of seconds before impact that they were able to shoot it down where it killed three of the servicemen at the base.
There is one thing about this that seems very dubious: "A Russian expert says that medics have managed to get their hands on the treatments for Putin despite all of the sanctions imposed on him and his regime".
I thought that western sanctions did not include medicines. No way that cancer drugs could be argued to have a dual-use.
I suspect the concern isn't really exporting drugs and pharmaceuticals to Russia, but more so exporting equipment or raw chemicals that could be repurposed for weapons production.
Manufactured drugs are not very easy to repurpose for anything else really, certainly not on any scale.
The reality of Putin's alleged treatments in reality is probably a few packs of meds being flown in on a private jet via a some proxy somewhere.
I think these deep strikes are more likely to be special ops sabotage, which I would consider far more impressive than if it was a drone.
The destination is the place likely to have point air defenses to shoot it down, not the 700km of not much in between. Whether it was actually shot down or not, that’s another question,
Not meant in a bad way, my point being this has been done daily since the fall of the wall.😎
More suspicious deaths of Russians!
The Swiss being Swiss again despite the protestations of some on here who think they're a template for ireland

It's not a surprise at all.
Hell they had no problem dealing with Nazi Germany at the time and most of the Nazi gold can be found under the streets of Switzerland
This may be the catalyst for Putin's end.
Remaining targets decide to act together to remove any further threat to their group.
Well I have not seen you here before so I will take no great notice of your comment. Think about what I said instead of getting angry. If Putin is about to die their is a good chance his replacement will order a stop to the war and pull out so why for the time been would you send more of your army to die if your objective can achieved by time keeping.
It's around the 20 mark this year alone!!
Crazy really.
I've seen you here before and normally take little notice of your posts. I wasn't angry, just amused.
If Putin is about to die that is precisely the time to counter attack and create division and press for an advantage.
Think you must have gotten hold of a badly translated copy of the art of war.
Otherwise you're just another shill pretending to care about Ukraine while trying to protect the Russian dictator and his minions from his actions.
Interesting overview of the war in this article.
Russian ministry of defense says 3 military were killed at Engels airbase as air defense shot a drone, no damage to planes
