Finally, a Russian who matters says it out loud "unconditional surrender" "handouts"

Hardly the first time

Why not su57?

Possible. But the other planes are more numerous.
And mentioned in the article. 

like Kinzhal to collapse those storages.

Just a few cracks and the Gas will leak eventually.

I can't remember, who in a position of power in Russia has said 'unconditional surrender' before?

Maybe unintentionally giving a hint as to what the actual UA casualties have been, otherwise the numbers look very wrong.

A senior general told MPs before the passing of the bill that Ukrainian forces were outnumbered by Russia by between seven and 10 to one.

"We are maintaining our defences with our last strength," joint forces commander Gen Yuriy Sodol said, quoted by Reuters.

If we assume 500k UA soldiers at the front, he claims anywhere between 3,5m-5m RU soldiers in Ukraine despite the hundreds of thousands of KIA they constantly brag about. Keep your stories together Kiev.

Surely the French don't want history to repeat itself?

The FSB declassified a document about the French who fought against the USSR on the side of the Ukrainian Nazis

The head of the 4th Directorate of the NKVD of the USSR, Pavel Sudoplatov, who led the sabotage behind enemy lines, spoke about the French who fought under the banner of the Reich in his report. According to the officer, the German garrisons near Bryansk were replenished by French citizens from the Legion of Volunteers to Combat Bolshevism, who fought side by side with Ukrainian nationalists.

The “Legion”, but in fact an infantry regiment, was formed in France in July 1941: it fought on the Eastern Front on the side of the Third Reich. He did not fight very successfully: the same Sudoplatov report talks about the destruction of a group of French who were trying to occupy a populated area by Soviet soldiers.

So Macron’s ideas to send French soldiers to die for the Armed Forces of Ukraine are that “well-forgotten old” legacy of France.

Soviet “school”, lack of knowledge of English and personnel shortage: NATO Commander in Europe named the problems of training Ukrainian pilots on the F-16

Christopher Cavoli at Congressional hearings:

“It is especially difficult to go from old Soviet-era aircraft flown and maintained by Ukrainians to a modern 4th generation aircraft such as the F-16.”

“Knowledge of the English language and its study are both important. If all the manuals, all the instructions and all the buttons are written in English, you should know enough English."

“The second step is to determine whether the pilot has sufficient basic training. If a person is already experienced, he goes directly to the F-16. It's difficult because these planes are very different from the ones they flew in the Ukrainian Air Force. But we also have several pilots who are learning to fly from scratch, after which they will move on to the F-16.”

“The limiting factor is the presence of Ukrainian pilots. When deciding to send pilots, they must maintain the level of combat activity inside Ukraine.”
- RVvoenkor

A bit like trying to fight in fog.

By the way the weather in Ukraine looks to be warmer than normal over the next couple of weeks. It could dry out quickly this year.

Imagine what the destruct or even capture bonus would be on this?

Is that what you are going to talk about Eugenio?

Milei's thing is very stupid.
On the one hand he wants to show himself as an ally to Trump and global anti-progressivism (which is with Russia), but he supports the filthy rat Zelensky, who is the basis of globalism.
The first time we have a president close to the ideas of a right, and he makes stupid mistakes. He is clearly poorly advised. In reality, he knows nothing about geopolitics. His only knowledge is about economics.

But I still prefer Milei to all the previous shit that ruled the nation.

[/quote]

Whether or not you are going to give him weapons is not relevant.
The news was to show Milei's servility to the West.
The problem that "our forces" are "almost non-existent" is the fault of governments on the left and right, exacerbating this, since the 90s with Menem.
Without forgetting that the Process (1976 - 1983) with the atrocities committed, discredited our Armed Forces. "From within" the military institution, without needing help from the left.
If you read my publications carefully, you would know that I have indicated several times how "left" governments have not had a good defense policy.
Without going any further, the previous government supported Ukraine against Russia.
Milei's position (which is not the "first right-wing government" we have) is not a "mistake" but something that the right has always been doing: allying itself with the Anglo-Saxons and in recent decades adding its support to Zionism.
For me, Nationalism is one thing, with which I sympathize, and the liberal right, which I hate, is another.
It is ironic that "ArgentinaGuard" pretended to be nationalist and Nazi-oriented and in the end ends up licking the boots of a Zionist Jew.

This could be either the dregs or the good stuff now the Patriots are arriving.

Polish President Duda: Poland has certain stocks of air defense missiles from Soviet times - they can be transferred to Ukraine

“Today, during a bilateral meeting, President Zelensky and I discussed certain stocks of missiles that we still have from Soviet times. And we discussed the possibility of transferring them to Ukraine in order to ensure its air defense. I will talk to my defense minister when I return to Poland,” said the Polish president.

The statement was made during a joint press conference with the presidents of Ukraine and Lithuania.

Russia Has A One-Year Reserve Of Weapons
But Ukrainian troops need U.S. support to defeat increasingly fragile Russian formations
David Axe

Ukrainian tactics are superior to Russian tactics, helping Ukrainian formations to defeat much larger Russian formations.

The Ukrainians defeat most Russian attacks, inflicting catastrophic casualties on increasingly under-equipped Russian assault groups.

Ukraine is on track to kill 300,000 Russians this year.

Conversely, with U.S. support, a rearmed Ukrainian military could protect its cities from Russian raids and, on the front line, achieve firepower superiority over a Russian military that’s fast running out of modern weapons.

I know that David Axe is infamous but I do not know that he consume Methamphetamine.

That is a level indicating a clear mental sickness.

How ? Well, Maidan regime is a puppet regime under control of the West, and the whole country of Ukraina will be enslaved via "investment", "loans", "privatization" and others. And surplus will be brutally extracted like how colonies is treated.

We already know that the black soil has been eyed by the Western companies. It will not be the only one.

That will only happen in the delusions of western degenerates. In reality the Ukrainian people will return the investment in the form of helping the Russians fulfill the americans special needs, those being euthanasia.

Summary of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation on the progress of the special military operation (for the period from April 6 to April 12, 2024)

From April 6 to 12, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, in response to the attempts of the Kiev regime to damage the oil and gas industry and energy facilities of Russia, carried out one massive and 47 group strikes with precision weapons of air, sea and land-based, as well as unmanned aerial vehicles at the facilities of the fuel and energy and military-industrial complexes of Ukraine.

In addition, logistics bases, temporary locations of units of the special operations forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and foreign mercenaries were affected.

I guess, IMO kh69 is a nice weapons, stealthy and can fit 6 inside of su57

For su34/30/35 it would make sense to develop IZD 720, as the stealth would not matter and the cost would be lower for launches of these missiles

Then again they would be good for less protected areas

But I am happy to see that kh69 has entered the chat

There is no warning, because usually hohols are looking for mig31 or tu95 to take off

Not that it matters, their air defenses are non existent at this point

I would also add, as I have said on other forums

The SEAD campaign in Ukraine has been excellent

I always compare Iraq no fly zones from 1990-2003 as a comparison

Meanwhile Russia in 2 years has completely annihilated what remains of Ukro long range and short range AD

Patriot, IRIS, S300, Buk, Avenger 3, SAM PT, NASAMS none of it matters anymore

And it shows that those uneducated binkov fools who parrot 3000 NATO planes vs 500 Russian planes are completely wrong and totally uneducated in the subject of modern war

Russia with its fleet of fighters,  has successfully accomplished the most comprehensive and complete destruction of the enemy IADS

This was done not with 3000 fighters, but with a select array of qualitatively superior hypersonic cruise and ballistic missiles

It shows that even in the conditions where Russia opted not to target NATO C4ISR, with some technologically advanced missiles literally without analogue, achieved what NATO airforces could not

Now missiles casually are annihilating the Ukro infrastructure with ease

Tactical fighters only provide Frontline support via glide bombs and short range cruise missiles

And all this moaning about 10,000 fighters is just that, a pissing fest for fan boys who view the modern war as a case of bean counting

Ladies and gentlemen, let it be known that NATO will be taken down in the same exact way Ukraine has been defanged - through select destruction of the most critical infrastructure without a single **** given about your 10,000 fighters or about your PATRIOT

Those who I refer to know exactly who I'm talking about

Those binkov analysts who are totally silent and nowhere to be found

Motor Sich in Zapo was hit multiple times with "something" that does not look formidable at the first glance.
But at the second ... it was a dedicated spot in a big building hit.
Spots.
Three.
In a bright daylight.
No countermeasures.
No sirens.
... sooo ...
Maybe we are talking some ... ekhm ... smaller caliber

:

Small correction : same exact, only way faster.
There would have been no sorties with use of 10 strategic bombers, launching two-three missiles each.
Only 70+, with 12+ missiles each.
No country in Europe has AD on the Ukro level. Zero, null, nada.

@Arkhangelsk

What do you think of the upcoming Kharkov offensive? When will it come and what are it's possible results?

You are a useful idiot. Milei is debasing the savings of regular Argentinians. Local oligarchs and foreign investors who keep their capital in dollars will then pick up Argentinian industry and property on the cheap, not even dimes on the dollar due to the peso going to zero. It is wholesale looting and plundering of Argentina similar to Russia during Yeltsin's time. Carpetbagging.

This wholesale destruction of the economy of Argentina is being done in the name of paying a debt to the IMF created by right winged politician Macri who is of the same color as Milei. Macri got a huge dollar loan from the IMF which was promptly used by Argentinian land owners to exfiltrate their liquid capital from Argentina to banks in the US, while indebting the whole country. They are in effect plundering the country twice. First it was liquid wealth, paper money, and next will be hard assets.

Yet people like you applaud this.

You don't know shit about Argentina, where do you live? you talk to talk.
People were fed up with the progressive left that has destroyed the country with inflation, drug trafficking, crime, human rights, invasion of shitty foreigners, destruction of schools and public health which was always a pride of our country until the left ruined it
The candidate Massa had the support of Biden. Milei was feared by everyone because of how unpredictable he is, added to the fact that Vice President Villarrruel comes from nationalist and conservative circles.
Argentina has been plundered for decades and it is not Milei's fault. It is the responsibility of the damn anti-nation left.

Our forces are destroyed and what Milei from Ukraine says are just empty words. Hopefully I'll donate an old helicopter to be destroyed by Russia

Those "victims" were leftist militants who planted bombs, kidnapped, killed soldiers and police, children from military families on orders from Cuba.
What do you think they would have done to him in Russia or the United States?
