Nazi butthurt is more calming than a classic music

Why would Ukrainian supporters (which I am not) be butthurt about a Russian plane that crashes?

Local media says it was a big bird strike on take off and the aircraft attempted to return to base but couldn't make it. Some Flight 1549 scenario I guess, but nowhere to ditch safely, unfortunately.

Anyway, the attempted nazi (yes, these Vlasov wannabes are actual Russian nazis who, surprise surprise, support Kiev) invasion of Belgorod and Kursk regions was thwarted before they even got to the border it seems like.

The simultaneous drone attacks (most massive yet, I hear) did some damage here and there, but no casualties, and the fires they caused have been put out.

I think this is some Budanov gung-ho stuff, just all-in for PR, and perhaps in the hopes of messing with things before the Russian elections. Nothing militarily sound about it at all, the actual war remains unaffected and distinctly in Ukrainian disfavor, to say the least.

Just wonder how many Ukro males will die to make some more PR materials before the weekend's elections.
How irrelevant can be the death of a human being, it is simply shocking.

For Ukro oligarchs (happened to be jewish mostly) who rule Ukraine and Biden & co it really doesn't matter. what does matter it is to hurt Russia. Thsi whole concept of creation of anti-Russia from Russians... was also promoted by Zbig Brzezinski long time ago.

See Ukraine that is what happens when an actual jet is shot down in the real world.

Ghost of Kiev? no, but a ghost for sure now

say that it is a shoot-down of theirs.

Next they claim it was a Patriot missile. 

It was a babushka with a jar of pickles.
In reserve, she brought some poisoned pirogi to the crash site, to spoil the survivors.

Sometimes if one wonders who is being targeted & hit by the ukro idiocies - just look around

That shrapnels hit radius is huge. Himars truck is 7m long, you can see it on the image close to the explosion. The area that is impacted by the shrapnels has a radius if like 100m. It's huge.

This can ruin your day.

What model of tank is this? Also new or refurbished?

Also, I am curious about the total destroyed/disabled foreign system count.

What count are we at now for Leo's, Abrams, Challengers, and Himars? Could someone who is more informed and up to date than me assist with the numbers?

Some people here seem to share Putin's mindset, that Ukrainians are their kin, share same roots, culture,.... The war is only against NATO.

But Ukraine will always be Russias enemies, even if a peace deal is reached there will always be insurgents and saboteurs.

My question I am still not understanding is: Why hasn't Russia just moved into the Kharkov region? At least not in the city but start to slowly surround the city. This would spread out Ukraines forces even more.

Because there is no need for that.
At the moment.
They are just pragmatic.

Russkie being cold blooded and pragmatic is the most nasty surprise the west faced in this war.

A funny thing.
Even in Polish shitstream, one thing starts to reveal.
People who are close to this war, even considering a pro-ukro stand, are slowly but undeniably starting to accept the realities.
In one of the interviews of a quite active Russkie eater, he finally admitted that as far as Russkie started the war with 300k men force - now they have 900k ...
Sure, he spiced that with tons of idiocies about "overwhelming losses" etc, but without that he wouldn't be allowed into Polish shitstream. They must add this type of idiocies, every single time, otherwise they won't be simply invited anymore to studio...
The face of moderator was already shocked enough
It will take a bit more for them to start asking question, where is the missing half-a-million force.
And what do they await?

The vast majority of Ukrainians hated Russians because they were told to by their media and their government, and when they get told it was all Americas fault and Europes fault they will likely believe that too.

Once the conflict ends there will be Ukrainians that complain that Russia is not spending enough to fix things and what ever gets spent will never be enough, but I rather suspect the biggest losers will be the European and American companies that were buying everything of value in the Ukraine... the way they did in Russia in the 1990s when everything was for sale, because I don't think Russia is going to honour any of the agreements and last minute sales of land and assets to western companies in the form of loans so Orcs in Kiev can further feather their nests where ever they will be flying south for for the winter.

The Ukrainian people were getting screwed over by the west just like the Russians were getting screwed over by the west in the 1990s, but the Ukrainians have the Russians to put a stop to it, which the Russians never had and it has taken them till now to get western fingers out of Russian pies so to speak.

The vast majority of Ukrainians want peace and the small number of dickheads wanting to be saboteur heroes are not going to last long blowing things up while the Russians are working hard to fix everything... the nazis will lose local support and to continue they will need to steal and threaten the locals which will make the locals turn against them...

When the west loses assets and interests they will cut their losses and look to the next shithole they can asset strip.
