This is one of the most successful operations of the armed forces of Ukraine in the history of the war. This is a defeat that Putin will not be able to hide
In response to the bombing and rocket attacks on Ukrainian cities, the 19th missile brigade of the armed forces of Ukraine launched a Tochka-U ballistic missile attack on the Russian Millerovo airbase, and destroyed at least two of the latest Russian Su-30 fighters.
The Ukrainian commanders, who ordered and delivered this brilliant blow in response, cut off all compromises for themselves. Little Ukraine is doing everything to protect itself. And let the whole world talk about our weakness, we will use everything that we have to fight for freedom and everything that can be used to resist.
So successfully hit the old missiles, which are more than 30 years old, is a real feat. Glory to the APU!
So...the Ukrainians have super special cruise missiles. No, wait, it's a refueling mishap during peacetime.
Somebody in the Propaganda Media is violating the photographer's copyright.
“I don’t know much about ballistic missiles, but I would expect a crater and I don’t think I see one.”
Penetrating missiles are what you use against hardened targets. You’d use an airburst against aircraft and personnel.
One would ruin a runway and it would intentionally create a crater. The other would kill planes and personnel with maximum lethality while causing minimal damage to hardened surfaces.
It’s called Home Field Advantage! The russkies should have learned that in Chechnya and assramistan!
Info at the link says fragmentation warheads are available. That might be the reason why no crater is visible.
“Ukraine is probably getting good US-supplied intelligence.”
If that’s the case, why are they getting flattened by the Russions?
I second the skepticism...
Talk about retarded. A single attack does not win a war.
“That’s a photo of a jet that’s been hit by a ballistic missile?
I doubt that. Looks more like a refueling accident.…”
*****************************************************
That’s my assumption also. You can see where the pilots had opened their cockpit and exited out of harms way.
There will be lots of propaganda coming from both sides. It’s a standard part of war.
LOL
I’ve heard stories about the super effects of Vodka in Slavic people.
But none I never heard was the ability to poop a Ballistic Missile.
During the night raids and bombings by the Russians, did you see any, I mean ANY Triple A? SAMS? Even so much as 7.62 tracers??
Zero air defenses and the managed to produce a Ballistic Missile??
Oh, and they hit the grounded aircraft without breaking it in two or more.
Amazing…….
“I’m not aware of any Putin fans on here.”
I’ve identified twenty-nine accounts on FR that consistently post pro-Putin and pro-Russian commentary. A few of them appear to be sock puppet accounts as they’re primarily used to cheer on the posts of selected other accounts.
Meaning that I may have identified 29 accounts but I suspect that it’s less than 29 people behind them all.
Mu guess. They have received military supplies from other nations.
I hope Ukraine turns this into Putin’s worst nightmare.
Putin has to go to bed sometime. It would be nice if someone would slip in and ram an icepick up his nose. (kidding-almost)
“ Ukraine is probably getting good US-supplied intelligence”
If so, Russian prisoners are probably already being lectured about transphobia.
clear as mud

You’ve been on FR a little over a year and have been quite busy making lists.
Some of the conscripts captured said they were told they were going on a training mission.
