Russia-Ukraine War (continuing)

Replace the Backfires and Bears, no. But they could likely just turn up the tap on the Blackjack factory a bit more to make up the gaps. They restarted production a couple of years ago. Obviously a bit modernised.
Interested, yes. Afraid, not particularly. Again, there is nothing particularly new here in concept. The US has long concluded that a future conflict with a peer power will begin with even Fort to Port being contested, and not only by drones and missiles. Cyber attacks on the railroad, for example, could be critical.

2018
And from a more recent article. https://www.rand.org/pubs/commentary/2025/06/defending-us-military-bases-against-drones-a-recent.html
The US is ahead of most countries in this concept. Like all countries, not where it should be (Maybe Israel is the one exception?) but at least they have the headstart and have started down the line to fixing it.

Your article from 2022 (before the war) just proves my point btw
”The first of the new Tu-160Ms is scheduled for delivery to the Russian Air Force in 2023.”
Narrator Voice: They didn’t
I fully expect to see a squadron of 160vModernised flying above dozens of Armata tanks at next years May parade /s
Edit; looks up the
Kazan Aviation Plant mentioned in article
”Tis just a scratch, will buff right off” the governor was heard saying looking nervously at the window and the fire beyond
Is it really that hard for Americans to say “thanks”?Trillions spent against Russians over decades only to endup with a Russia First America Last president whom you go out way to make up excuses for here and other threads, maybe Elons DOGE should hire Ukrainians, they sure know how to get bang for buck eh? Or is he persona non grata for spineless “conservatives” now whom are trying to hard to find the non existent “checks and balances” backbones?

Another Chip Pan fire
“It has been officially reported that the fire broke out in a production building covering an area of approximately 400 square meters. The cause of the blaze has not yet been determined. As of now, it has been reported that the fire has been localized.””Meanwhile, high-power YaMZ-850 engines, boosted up to 1,500 horsepower, are used to arm Russia’s strategic nuclear deterrent forces. Specifically, they are installed on the self-propelled launchers of the RS-12M Topol and RS-24 Yars intercontinental missile systems.”

A thing of beauty.
Has any tallied up the total losses now that have been counted through satellite imagery?
This attack will rock the Russians to the core. A good chunk of their air force gone up in smoke.
I'm on the verge of a site ban. Please don't rage bait me, I'm easily triggered especially late at night!

At least one Tu-95MS at Olenya was loaded with Kh-101 cruise missiles. It was destroyed.
This really is the icing on the cake. Not only did they take out some expensive missiles but they also saved Ukraine having to use some air defence missiles to stop them.
