The other B52 still has its transponder on so I think its nuke bomb drill target is Moscow based on the current approach.
Iran has agreed to stop supplying weapons to the Houthi movement in Yemen as part of the deal to restore diplomatic relations with Saudi Arabia, U.S. and Saudi officials told The Wall Street Journal.

The IMF is ready to announce a four year loan program for Ukraine worth 15.6 billion dollars, writes the Financial Times
The B52 heading towards Kalingrad-Moscow nuke drill is flying at 25,000 feet so they want Putin to see it.

(1/5) Over the last week, Russian attempts to assault the Donetsk Oblast town of Vuhledar have almost certainly slowed. This follows repeated, extremely costly failed attacks over the previous three months.
(2/5) One factor in Russia’s heavy losses in this sector has been Ukraine’s successful adoption of Remote Anti-Armour Mine systems (RAAM). RAAM is a specialist artillery shell which scatters anti-armour mines up to 17km away from the firing unit.
(3/5) In some instances, Ukraine has launched the mines over and behind advancing Russian units, causing disarray when Russian vehicles attempt to withdraw.
(4/5) Russia’s only notable recent tactical success has been in the Bakhmut sector, which is dominated by Wagner Group mercenary forces, currently engaged in a public feud with the Russian Ministry of Defence.
(5/5) There is a realistic possibility that Russia’s MoD has been insistent in its drive for success in Vuhledar, partially because it wants its own success to compete with Wagner’s achievements.

Intelligence: Russian occupying forces in Crimea preparing for defense.
The Russian military is building fortifications and preparing for defense on the occupied peninsula, Vadym Skibitskyi, deputy chief of Ukraine’s military intelligence, said on March 16.
According to Skibitskyi, Russia keeps “a powerful ground and aviation component” in Ukraine’s Crimea.
Nearly 90 combat aircraft and 60 attack helicopters are currently stationed in illegally annexed Crimea, he said.
Tempting targets for GLSDBs.
Russia HAD 10000, they have far fewer and if they had all this great and glorious stock I guess they wouldn’t need to pull t-62s out of boneyard

It strikes me as funny when people claim that we are using up our ammunition stockpiles that were there to fight Russia. That is what is happening and what they should be used for. 155mm shells, Bradley’s Strykers abrams are not going to be used to fight China. If it comes to that it is already over
Although the customs data does not show that Beijing is selling a large amount of weapons to Moscow specifically to aid its war effort

If something comes out of China its run, managed, and owned by the CCP. Civilian Military Fusion is what the CCP calls it.

“I hope Russia wins. I think it’s great that there is someone like Putin. It would be best if NATO, the EU and the US would fall apart.”
I wonder what his FR handle is.
I took Russian as a language in high school. Went over to a friends house to study
Oh Lordy did grandma explode. We never did that again

UN Commission finds Russia committed war crimes in Ukraine.
The UN Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine has found that Russia committed numerous war crimes in Ukraine, including attacks on energy infrastructure, kidnapping children, torturing, raping, and killing Ukrainians.
Exactly a year ago, Russian forces bombed Mariupol Drama Theater, where hundreds of people, mostly women and children, were sheltering at the moment. Hundreds are believed to have been killed.
“Nearly 90 combat aircraft and 60 attack helicopters are currently stationed in illegally annexed Crimea...”
“Tempting targets...”
I thought you might find that tempting.
You mean FR posts like this?
“Xi and Putin have been reading George Kennan. It appears that BRICS+ is their version of NATO, CENTO, SEATO, etc. I can only hope they are successful in containing the Woke, Green, Pervo, Globalist, Monolithic Crusade.”
“Be a shame if Lvov caught some hypersonics in a couple of their NATO/US command centers...”
USAF B52 Noble 41 descended to 10,000 feet for its flyby buzz of Kalingrad. Now it’s at 5,800 feet as it prepares for its practice run to nuke St Petersburg.
