Ukraine’s Drone Attack on Russia’s Bomber Fleet Won’t Win the War

“Russian situation over Ukraine is called air supremacy.”

Very stronk air supremacy !

[Pilsner]

I’ve noticed that as well,

My point is that I don't think the posts by "NorseViking" are all from the same person. Sometimes there is no evidence, for months, of the poster who plausibly claims to be a retired field grade officer.

I've flat out asked if he (I'm assuming) has been called up, for war service, and had some bot farm take over posting in his absence, but never gotten a straight answer. It would bed an explanation why, however much I may disagree with his assumptions, and opinions, NorseViking's posts sometimes seem to be crafted by a person who is intelligent, educated, cultured, has a good grasp of English, and a wry sense of humor, while sometimes his posts seem to be created by a not not very sophisticated bot, or crafted in Russian by a not very bright fellow, and run through Google Translate.

According to it the Russian situation over Ukraine is called air supremacy.

Hey Mayór, why don't you post a link to the NATO document that details how you can have air supremacy over territory that you don't dare fly your aircraft over because they will be shot down?

He sure didn’t seem very solid on this thread, he fell apart and sounded like the usual goofy internet guy making up silly personal attacks and fake accusations, pouring out pure emotional frustration and lashing out.

That was no retired Russian officer, it was just a kid emoting and with hurt feelings.

I wonder if my post about his possible mental discharge at age 38 which ties in with your question about him (not) being called back for this major war triggered him.

Maybe those different parts you mentioned are all him, and its just that his bubble is a little off level, whatever he is, he isn’t authentic, you are never talking to the man but always dealing with a dishonest propagandist at work, whether paid for it or not.

whyilovetexas111: What makes this even clearer is the absence of any meaningful Russian reaction. If these bombers were critical assets – if this were a serious blow – Moscow would have responded with force and fury.

nathanbedford: Rubbish. Precisely the opposite is likely the case.

Unfortunately, Putin's rocket-bombing of civilian centers in Ukraine has clearly demonstrated that he deems the terrorizing and killing of innocent civilians an appropriate response to the targeting of purely military assets.

Nevertheless, I look forward to Ukraine soon destroying the remaining two-thirds of Putin's bomber fleet.

Though a bullet to Putin's brain would definitely be cheaper.
