Russian special military operation in Ukraine #40

Why do we still allow Retarded Twatwaffle Nitwit to post on here? Everything he says is always wrong.

failed to hit its target by a mile

Still much better than JDAM.



Captured Ukro tank

Us reaper drone knocked down by su27

Look like pilot dumped fuel in way and took out propeller

Nice work VKS

So the Su-27 pissed on, sorry dumped fuel on, the MQ-9            

Hopefully then the pilot set light to it, sorry turned the afterburner on which accidentally ignited the dumped fuel Or, more likely it just ignited on the MQ-9's hot exhaust. If so what a brilliant plan, downed the MQ-9 without actually attacking it. Clearly an unfortunate accident. I wonder how the US knows what happened.

The Russian Navy, on behalf of the USAF will now attempt to recover and return the drone to the US.  

The USAF now being reminded how different life will be fighting a peer state, not a 3rd world country like what their past enemies have been. Pity it wasn't a Global Hawk but that no doubt was a conscious decision by the RuAF.

It's comparable i guess to the 90s vintage JSOW glide bombs. Better very late than never i suppose.

Awww, the drone got knocked down? As a taxpayer I just have one request. After you take it apart and take pics and any and all data, please be sure to put it back together in an operable condition. We can't have universal healthcare or college without crushing life long debt but we can build expensive over engineered crap so please be sure to get it back to us when you're done with it. Thanks.

Dumping fuel on it is hilarious. Well done.

But some reports are saying that the su 27 hit the propeller? With what , the nose cone? Dunno about that. Maybe the US doesn't want everyone to know that all you have to do is dump fuel on these drones to eliminate them. They probably didn't even fly very close to them to get the fuel on them. Which the engine most likely ingested and completely fuct things up.

It isn't illegal to dump fuel over the sea in international waters. Oh there was a Reaper drone down wind? That's a shame.

Countries that refused to support NATO's war in Ukraine were being targeted by the US through civil disobedience movements.

Now the US is also targetting their closest ally Israel by sponsoring mass unrest, including today's event that included uploading racist messages against Jews of colour.

Chalk and cheese frankly.

SVP-24 is not needed for Grom 31. The principal behind JDAM and SVP 24 is completely different. The closest western equivalent to the SVP 24 is Lantirn.

Russia's defence minister orders to double production of high-precision missiles - TASS

They probably just dumped fuel and they didn't even have to light it. These drones have a 950 horsepower turboprop that would just suck up the fuel and over rev till it blows or just stalls. This was probably a more passive move than it seems. They could probably fly a ways away. The drone retards probably took a few minutes before they knew what was happening.

"hey this su 27 is flying in front of us. Why is our drone starting to over rev and run like shit?"

@Hole, can you do me a favor?. and tell me where i can find the source for the Bandit pictures you post? .

I come here because the pro Ukraine narrative is everywhere and hard to escape. I like the fanbois here, though seig I must say you got some gall calling nafo tier pro globohomo posters "more objective fanboys". I hate this dumb propaganda war and nafo and "osint experts" and slava ukraini twats coming to this board to post nonsense. You wanna be a good stooge for neocon foreign policy then go on twitter or reddit.

You are in the tiny minority that has enough intellectual activity to go outside the box.

But I resent being called a fanboi

Ukraine is also full of civilians that just want better life standard like anyone else.

It's easy to say to bomb all Ukraine. A bit more harder to push the buttons and kill actual people.

Would be even funnier if the dumped fuel and lit the burners lol. The MQ9 is only 2000 KG. My guess is an sU-27 can take it down with wake turbulance. let alone afterburners etc.

There are claims out there that the Russians actually downed a Global Hawk, FORTE-10, not a Reaper, 18 miles off the Crimean coast. Waiting to see if one of the Flight Tracker sites comes up with this. Saying its a Reaper to reduce impact.


Not sure about this

According to the published recordings of radio conversations of Russian pilots, there is reason to believe that the wreckage of the American MQ-9 Reaper UAV that fell into the Black Sea was picked up by the Russian military.


Dumping fuel on US ships was used by a Su-27 pilot many, many years ago to dissuade them from getting too close to Russia, in the days when NATO ships sailed in Russian water, in the Arctic during the Cold War. It worked, they stopped as Kerosene is horrible stuff.

EDIT - here we go

Translated:

Since the U.S. accused a Russian fighter pilot of leaking kerosene to an American drone in the air, it is hard not to recall the story of Vasily Tsymbal.

Rain of stinky kerosene...

Vasya Tsymbal was a graduate of the Armavir Aviation School and, like all the guys from there, was famous for his ability to accurately perform the assigned combat tasks, though... Not quite standard and, I would even say, very unorthodox approaches. His favorite trick was the tricks with the fuel.

Another such stunt just happened in the Far East, when one of the Japanese patrol boats (with a couple of helicopters on it - a kind of unofficial aircraft carrier) crossed the border between neutral waters and Soviet territory. Unfortunately for the Japanese, Vasya Tsymbal was in the sky, and he quickly figured out what to do. Having made a couple of low-altitude turns over the ship, he made sure that it was not going to change its course and decided to try and frighten the uninvited guests. Ascending to a higher altitude, he turned and began to dive at the Japanese. The Japanese were frightened - the provocation went too far, and no one knew whether the Soviet pilot was ordered to attack.

In the end Tsymbal flew at cruising speed 5-6 meters above the deck and literally blew one of the helicopters into the water, and then, apparently in a wave of excitement, said to the airwaves in a short but succinct voice: "**** the kitty!" The Japanese, hearing one of the most expressive expressions of Russian swear words, turned the ship 180 degrees and gave full speed. But that was not enough for the show-off Vasya. While the Japanese ship was in Soviet waters, Vasya decided to practice his favorite trick. Flying over the cuckoo's nest of unhappy provocateurs, Tsymbal turned on the fuel drain and showered kerosene rain on the military of the Land of the Rising Sun. The descendants of the samurai could not stand such disgrace and in droves ran to make hara-kiri to complain to their superiors.

Almost immediately after Vasya's return to the base, they call him to the carpet (the base heard everything too) and, upon learning the details, they breathe a sigh of relief - thank God, no one was killed - and send him to the other end of the country, so that, if anything happens, they can say that "the pilot is not ours" and "he left for Murmansk two weeks ago".

Once in the north, Vasiliy Tsymbal did not change his habits. In September '87, however, it was always turbulent near the Kola Peninsula - American and Norwegian NATO pilots were flying quite often, several times a day entering Soviet airspace, and aircraft carriers, from which these planes were taking off, were plowing through the Barents Sea. When Vasya ran to his faithful Su-27 for the seventh time in 24 hours, putting on his helmet on the way... Probably he wanted very much to use lethal fire and nuclear missiles to be sure.

But no appropriate orders were given, and Tsymbal was left with only his good old trick. After coaxing his comrade, he joined him in making the Americans rain stinking kerosene. Strange as it may seem, it helped a lot - the Yankees began to appear in the region considerably less. And there were no repercussions for Basil.

I looked a bit into this, specifically flight radar archives.

Forte 10 left station and returned to sicily this morning. Forte 10 is an RQ-4 indeed.
The RQ-4's are based in sicily, Italy at the Sigonella air base.google coordinates: 37.40751969977022, 14.91365078618334
i did not spot another inbound RQ-4 to take over Forte 10, An U.S poseidon took up survaillance over the romanian coast.


The U.S have an Reaper base in Romania. called Campia Turzii Air Base.
here are the google coordinates with Reapers on the taxiways:46.50412622354174, 23.88740146251178

I did not see any Reapers leaving the airbase, but that just means there where no active transponders anyway.

So it is plausible it was an Reaper instead of an RQ-4.


I rather wait and watch what the Russian Navy pulls out of the sea to be sure.

I 100% agree they should use napalm. Rather then see young Russians forced to assault trenches, I say NAPALM AND WP. Nothing like screams of agony to get people to surrender. If you wanna be super humane drop one close by to let them feel the heat. They do have thermobaric that can do the same thing, but don't seem to roll up the TOS often enough.
