    I'm sorry to say, but all the Telegram channels that spent days trying to explain away the air base attack as an accidental fire are going to look dumber and dumber as more attacks occur in Crimea.

    Ukros are staging materials for propaganda campaigns, including killing their own soldiers to have nice materials.
    They send for slaugter dozens of trained pilots, and special forces officers to satisfy a private company who needs a commercial campaign for its product.
    Movies are shot to pretend Russian crimes, with the staged situation, actors, and directors.
    Yet, they lack any single evidence that had anything to do with the most embarrassing moment for the Russian war effort, which was loss of the Black Sea Fleet flagman carrying the name of a capital.
    How possible does that sound? Laughing

    Some pro-Russian channels claim that this depot-storage point was destroyed. Arkhangelsk has right to be mad. Utter incompetence.



    People trying to minimize everything Ukrainians do, are as autistic as khokhols. Sure, it won't change end result, but stupid losses and mistakes should be rectified.
    And there is a lot of rot in Russian bureaucracy. That's not even a question.

    Kremlin sent the signal, it's ok to admit the Crimea airbase incident was sabotage now. Fall in line. No more need to defend the integrity of the general staff....at least on this issue. lol1

    They'll do the same like the dimwitts in this forum, move on to the next thing to damage control for. It can't be helped, it won't change. Partisan slaves.

    Dimwitts love this process, they become even accustomed to it... routine.

    That's a great example of a Bayraktar. The real juice of that little piece of scrap metal is its imaging sensors + command control communication link.

    So what do you recon happened here? Another invisible missile attack or JUST an accident?
    Kremlin said it was sabotage so it must be one of the above then...

    Perfect where I'm sitting, as always. Not a tear will be shed for anyone's expectations, but it will be solid eye opener for those that on the one hand expect the EU to collapse and on the other, expect the EU to coast without a flinch.

    The angry reactions and cognitive dissonance will as always be amusing.... sort of like before the SMO for 98% of this forum.

    Draw two circles for ATACMS at max range ( they would fire from max range , deeper inside Ukrainian territory for safety from counter artillery ) and where they intersect , you find the " saboteurs . "  Pull back important equipment just outside max range . Problem solved . What you say "  they will only provide longer range saboteurs ! " And you will be right . But bigger and longer saboteurs are easier to detect , when crossing border and bigger target on Radar and longer minimum range and more expensive and need more time to organise.......


    Edit : putting stores and air bases on Russian soil , means that the USA will be attacking directly ( American made and Amertican fired into Russia ! ) Russian soil . Could be a deterrent .

    Syrian operation was some planes and almost o ground forces against an army of several hundreds of thousands of international terrorists, Russia did it as small as it gets. In Ukraine the territory is much bigger and the fight is not against non-state actors but against fully nazified, NATO backed ukie state. Russia does it again as small as it gets in order to sustain any effort Western escalation requires. IMHO they know freakin well what they do.

    Yeah yeah. You can sure count on some of the dopes on this site to signal boost every little cheap shot that Ukraine makes way out of proportion.


    Russia is raining missiles down on various regions every single day and night. And Ukraine gets a cheap shot in or 2 and its all of a sudden the end of the world. Rusky incompetence bruh. You cant accuse the Russian military for being cheap on the missiles. Its just the opposite.

    The only question for the Russian government is if they are going to retaliate specifically for the US crossing the red line by sending weapons that can reach Russia and using them.
