NOTHING makes friends like bombing/missile strikes on the religious centers of a backwards nation.

That Pooty-Poot dood is shrewd on levels we haven't even discovered  yet!


I thought that Pooty-Poot was a good Christian and he is defending Christianity.

ALL any of us need to know about Pooty-Poot is that he is a life-long communist parasite and tool that has no conscience whatsoever.

The Orcs' air force use air-launched cruise missiles launched from within orc territory by bombers based beyond the range the orcs believe Ukraine can hit. Some orc air-chieftain miscalculated or was misinformed about Ukrainian capabilities.

IIRC, the Tu22 "Backfire" is supersonic, roughly similar to the USAF B-1.

Ukrainian pilots begin training on F-16 fighter jets — just days after US aircraft approval

By Isabel Keane   
August 20, 2023

Ukrainian pilots began training on coveted F-16 fighter jets — just days after the US approved sending the aircraft from Denmark and the Netherlands to help Ukraine in its war with Russia.

Ukraine’s Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov told Ukrainian media on Saturday that both pilots and Ukrainian engineers have started training on the aircraft.

“Training (on F-16) has begun,” Reznikov said, later adding that “a minimal term of training is six months,” according to CNN, which cited Ukrainian media.

Officials intend to remain tight-lipped about the training, according to Reznikov, who said instructors will only share updates when the engineers and technicians have mastered their new skills.

In addition to learning how to use the F-16, which will help Ukraine counter Russian air power, trainees will get English-language training in technical terminology because “the basic level of English language is not enough.”

FIGHTING BACK Massive explosion as kamikaze drone smashes into Russian air base damaging one of Putin’s prized supersonic bombers

The Sun by     Sarah Hooper Will Stewart 8/19/2023

ONE of Putin's prized war planes has been damaged after a kamikaze drone strike deep inside Russian territory.

The attack, at the military airport in the Novgorod region more than 700 miles from Ukraine, witnessed a "helicopter style" drone.

The ministry said nobody was hurt and the fire was quickly extinguished.

The aircrafts which survived the attack are reportedly being being moved to an airfield in the Murmansk region.

The Russian defence ministry admitted a strike: “The Kyiv regime carried out a terrorist attack using a copter-type UAV on a military airfield in Novgorod region."

A Ukrainian Telegram channel has said that two Tu-22M3 supersonic bombers were damaged during the strike.

Russian airfield is obliterated by Ukraine kamikaze drone as video captures moment another attack wipes out key railway station used to transport Putin's weapons, troops and ammunition

Russia tried downplaying the destruction of one of its prized supersonic bombers

By PERKIN AMALARAJ and WILL STEWART
20 August 2023

Ukraine has launched two major kamikaze drone strikes that took out one of Putin's prized nuclear bombers in a spectacular fireball and caused significant damage to a train station used to supply Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

New footage of the strike on Soltsy airbase in the Novgorod region shows one of Russia's nuclear bombers being swallowed by an enormous fireball.

Smoke billowing from the fireball could be seen for miles around.

Russia's defence ministry tried downplaying the attack, claiming that just one of the bombers was hit:

'The Kyiv regime carried out a terrorist attack using a copter-type UAV on a military airfield in Novgorod region.

'As a result of the terrorist attack on the territory of the airfield, a fire broke out in the aircraft parking lot, which was promptly eliminated by fire brigades.

All the massive amounts of failures suffered by the Soviets does is illustrate the power of a police state,where the government controls the dialogue.

Yeah,I SUSPECT the typical Soviet citizen of today knows as much about what is REALLY going on as they want to know,or at least as much as those of us in the west know.

The difference is in the Soviet police state,you can lose your home,your job,and go to a labor camp if caught talking about it in public.

They know,though. Trust me on this.

Pooty-poot and his flunkies know this too,and you can bet they lay in their beds trembling in fear every night because IF these losses keep mounting,and there are no indications they won't given the new western Jet fighters given to Ukraine,The Soviet Madhouse HAS to eventually collapse,and when it does,there is going to be a truly terrible price to be paid by the former rulers.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

 Ukraine’s Bogged-Down Counteroffensive
A military intelligence source explains why advanced weapons from the West might not be the answer.
by Paul Glastris August 21, 2023

The news out of Ukraine paints a sobering, though hardly hopeless, picture of the country’s counteroffensive against dug-in Russian forces. The Washington Post warns that Ukraine is “running out of options to retake significant territory.”

At the same time, The New York Times reports that while progress is slow, Ukrainian soldiers and commanders “say they are in better shape now than six or 12 months ago.”

Meanwhile, debate continues over the Biden administration’s reluctance to provide Kyiv with certain advanced weaponry. I had a text exchange about this with a source who has had a decades-long career in the U.S. military and the intelligence community, serving both in and out of government. The source requested anonymity to speak freely. The following Q&A has been edited for clarity.   ...

Surprised more hasn't been made of the Ruskies failed Moon mission this weekend.  This just shows how far the first country to reach space has fallen on the totem poll of space exploration.

Just another massive embarassment for Putin, and I'm loving it.

Only idiots would think an offensive has "utterly failed" against a dug in enemy in the course of a few months. Did they think they were just going to waltz in despite the year the Russians had to dig in? It takes time clear mines, blown bridges and trenches out and grind down the enemy. Just more veiled rooting for Putin so they can say they were right - right about something they've been wrong about since the start.
