A Russian military convoy that was outside of Ivankiv, Ukraine, on Sunday has since made it to the outskirts of Kyiv, satellite images show.

On Sunday, the convoy was roughly 40 miles northwest of the Ukrainian capital, according to images provided by Maxar Technologies.

Maxar said that roughly 17 miles of roadway is chocked full of the convoy, which consists of armored vehicles, tanks, towed artillery and other logistical vehicles.

The private US company said the convoy was located on the T-1011 highway at Antonov air base around 11:11 a.m local time.

Antonov is roughly 17 miles from the center of the Ukrainian capital.

They should get their air force up and stop these guys.

If that convoy is not attack then we will all know who has air superiority in the Ukraine.

[DesertRhino]

The Ghost of Kiev!

Ukrainian pilots are having to borrow fighters from other countries. That doesn’t sound like Ukraine air superiority to me.

“They should get their air force up and stop these guys. “

17 mile long convoy. Hundreds of miles in to Ukraine.

What resistance have they met?

[Renfrew]

“They should get their air force up and stop these guys.”

I’m sure a lot of old A-10 pilots are looking at those satellite images and salivating.

“If that convoy is not attack then we will all know who has air superiority in the Ukraine.“

That is what I was thinking, to move a column like that you better have air superiority.

[Magnetar]

Man those warthogs will decimate the column in no time.

[Newbomb Turk]

Couple A10 warthogs would have quite a time with a 17 mile long convoy.

[Mariner]

“If that convoy is not attack then we will all know who has air superiority in the Ukraine.”

We already know.

This convoy from hell has been within 100 miles of Kiev for 2 months. It’s always been in range of air power.

17 mile long convoy is a whole bunch of hardware to target.

Can’t miss.

Breaking on the Twittsewer:

NB-CIA "journalist" Richard Engel (NBC News US senior correspondent) near-demands that nuclear powers enter a hot war.

[ScottinVA]

Ukes should lay out some IEDs.

[Pikachu_Dad]

Reports of air raids in all Western Ukrainian provinces just now. So that answer is pretty clear.

[walkingdead]

Either the Russians have air superiority or they have just made a terrible tactical decision. If the convoy is true then the Russians do have air superiority imho.

[nuconvert]

They used a drone to attack a smaller convoy over the weekend. Why not do the same again? Don’t understand why they’re waiting

[anton]

According to the MSM propaganda campaign, the Russians are about done for. Putin is going to be removed by his own citizens and Zellensky is going to declare victory.

Truth being the major casualty in this War.

[icclearly]

What warthogs? The ones we left in Afganastain?

[ifinnegan]

Maybe that’s the script. If there is one.

[oblomov]

IIRC, Russia claimed to have air superiority this morning or last night sometime.

Note: claimed

I dunno, but according to all the post-mortem texts sent by all the dead Russian soldiers killed by Samuyil Hyde and Fightin’ Miss Vodka 1987 using cookie cutters and nosehair tweezers as weapons, the entire Russian army is stuck on roadsides weeping in despair. True Chuck Norris fact, entered into the UN record.
