This could have ended badly I bet they hoped Russia would shoot it down then have a field day slating them.

Or perhaps now that Kievs air defence is so depleted they felt it was safe to fly through because the only real threat to civilian airliners were the Orcs.

Interesting if the RuAF had flown a close escort Image the photo opportunity for the Norwegian passengers.

Good for a smile moment but the UAF would have shot it down and blamed the Russians.

A fighter of Azov Nikolai Kushch was sentenced to life imprisonment in a special regime colony.

The Supreme Court of the Donetsk People's Republic found him guilty of killing a wounded employee of the People's Militia of the DPR in Mariupol last spring. Kushch filmed his crime on camera, the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation reported.

I doubt that. It has been awhile since the deep state did an airliner op. One is inevitable. A Turkish airliner during the grain deal bullshit sure wouldn't have been an accident. For whatever reason this one was called off.

(sorry about the quotes, won't do it again)

The Buk looks as if it is just lurking there, no radar, awaiting instruction on a target. With no emissions its difficult to find even tho its in the middle of a field. It probably then moved.

Here comes the "Ruin someone's day" train.

It's working as it was designed to work...

Nebo radars are picking target 400km away, transmot data to Buk search radar that is few km from this launcher, the command and control vehicles gives order to this launcher to engage the target.

The radar on the launcher isn't for searching targets (even if it could do so). It just lock on a target previously detected and engage it for 20-30 second unyil a hit is achieved. There are 4-6 such launchers in the area connected btw themselve through the C&C vehicles. Probably some Tor are there too.

Russia was overdue for a propaganda cockup. And it looks like we have one. The last one was Wager gate. The doomers will be happy to fill us in on it. A major was somehow captured. Ukro cucks will say this is the big turning point like they always do

Compared to Wagner disaster this is barely a skid mark

Him allowing himself to be captured alive is his problem, he better not squeal while inside

And you will find Rich Russians partying while their troops are dying, so what was the point of this post?

The difference is Russia isn't having their country systematically dismantled by a superior fighting force and 1000's of their conscript soldiers killed per week, Jesus Christ do you not understand the context of his post?

First off this is in western Ukraine where right now the fighting isn't anywhere near. So some people partying is hardly a surprise, you speak of context but fail to understand basic common sense, these are also civilians not military personnel. So yes then having a party is honestly nothing to bring up it


This was just a silly shit post that is meant to be like "haha dumb Ukies" that has nothing to do with the war, Posts like these should honestly just be removed

Well no because the context is that tens of thousands of Ukrainians have been forcefully conscripted from civilian life into the military.
And it's exactly the poor that take the brunt of it; anyone with money or connections can pay their way out of it.

In Russia's case it's the people who choose to go, or at least those who have the training and experience for it as a general rule.

Please don't sit there and pretend Russian elites wouldn't do the same shit.

The planning and mission design teams working for the Ukraine, some of the best minds in HATO, seem to think Ukrainian lives are worthless and will use them as a battering ram in the hope the wind generated by these idiots rushing forward at Russian positions might somehow give those Russian defenders a cold, is not really comparable to Russian military planning, which while not perfect... seems to be centred around minimal losses of both civilians and Russian soldiers.

Read a statistic the other day that over the period this war has been taking place several US states have actually lost more civilians to homocide than Ukraine has lost in this war.

That just doesn't happen in conflicts the west gets involved with because they don't give a sht about the damn natives.

The real point is that the Ukrainian rich elite are not benefiting from this conflict... they are not driving this, it is western countries that created this and are driving this... but I doubt we will ever see footage of their children living it up on paedo islands and other places of pure luxury.

And so ?

Because many Russian rich kids are just a bunch of scumbags therefore we should not criticize the scumbags in Ukraine ?

I am perfectly OK with you or anyone criticizing the misconducts and crimes of Russian-speaking billionaires as long as we have solid evidences of their wrong-doings. A bad guy is a bad guy regardless of his nation. Like in a post in the past I expressed my disapproval of the luxurious life of a young Russian scion when his other compatriots is spending youth and lifes fighting against Maidan Nazi.

But I sincerely hope that you do these deeds with the goal of saying a word on behalf of the oppressed people regardless of nations and races, not as a mean to demonize Russia for the sake of Western oligarchs like many disgusting "human rights" douchebags such as HRW, BBC, RFI or RFA.

Checked the last 3 days some social media feeds and not sure if that is just the algorithm that is pushing it or controlled algorithm trying to push it, but I see more and more videos about pro-ukros talking out against the forced mobilization and the dualism of their society. One video of guy doing his Shashlik beating two mobilizer and the comments are almost all in "ukrainian" against the mobilizers. Multiple videos like that, then other videos of Odessits speaking out against provocative questions why they don't speak ukrainian, the comments again in both russian and ukrainian mostly addressing the hypocrisy of the provocateurs. One Odessit is playing chess and is asked in "ukrainian" he replies that she shall ask in Russian because he does not understand her , was funny a bit. Of course there was one ukrainian clown speaking in fluent russian says I don't speak russian I speak Odessian and follows explaining it's actually an ukrainian dialect. I have to cringe at stuff like that.

This if course does not give us much but apparently the grey area of people being pro of neither side is maybe bigger than I thought. There is obviously always some people that are indifferent to what flag will be placed, but the percentage is unclear.
