Lets keep demilitarizing RuZZia. Mobilization will useless without armor.
Positive side of mobilization is young RuZZians will head for the border. Depopulation of RuZZia another goal.
Suppressing enemy air support is normally planned to precede an offensive Ground Operation. (Cough, Mariupol, Cough)
So no attack on Taganrog?
“Residents of several towns in Rostov region report powerful explosion”
Depopulation of RuZZia another goal.
This is the goal:
Not in that video - doesn’t mean it did not happen.
According to a recent video, a certain country’s air support is suppressing itself. (Cough, hack, cough)

Germany has been bad at PR in there support of Ukraine.
But they are providing support.
The wheels are coming off the Russian war machine in a hundred ways.
I wonder if maintenance might not be keeping up with the operational tempo of those jets.
Maybe safer to land that jet somewhere in the Ukraine, where it can be better cared for. They have a convenient surrender program, and a great bounty for jets!

Rumor that Putin has retreated to his compound near Sochi. Bunker time?
Formation takeoff...wingman on the right.
Takeoff and gear retraction appear normal.
Climb angle after takeoff is very shallow, but appropriate if trying to stay below enemy radar coverage.
Flight lead starts a left turn, climbing slightly.
Wingman banks (roll) left and appears to be unable to stop the roll. Bank angle pauses at about 90 degrees then continues to about 110 degrees and the aircraft impacts the ground.
If the wingman pilot ejected at 80 degrees bank, he might have survived.
Cause is most likely poor maintenance. However, sabotage cannot be ruled out.
Reports said pilot survived. He is lucky if true.
Russia’s latest aid package to the Ukrainian military in Kharkiv is reported to contain the most tanks and shells of any previously announced, as well as about 10,000 square kilometers of land. An awesome goodwill gesture - they are some regular fellas, and continue to outstrip all Western countries in the military equipment that they donate. Local farmers report that this year’s harvest of heavy armored vehicles is the best that any can remember.
Apparently though, this whole invasion of Ukraine thing was just a masterful feint, in a much larger game of geopolitical 4D chess…
With the low res video, it is impossible to see if the canopy is ejected.
There is no chute in the video. I'm guessing that if the photographer saw a chute, he would film it.
The Norway section made me laugh
Much has been said about whether this was a withdrawal or a rout, but by the Russian donations lack of destroying ammo and vehicles I go with rout. Does this predict the future don’t know but it was nice of the Russians to leave all the “furniture” when they checked out
“Kyiv informed top U.S. generals in advance of the plan to launch simultaneous attacks on two fronts, according to a Ukrainian official, but both governments were shocked by the success of the northern counteroffensive.
“Everyone was surprised how the Russians ran,” said the Ukrainian government official on condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive operation.
The northern offensive has been conducted by a relatively small force — just a handful of brigades with a few thousand soldiers each, according to a U.S. official and a Western diplomat.”
