The Ukrainian air force’s best fighter jets just staged a daring raid on the Russian force occupying Ukraine’s strategic Snake Island.The raid marks a significant escalation of Ukraine’s air campaign targeting the Russian garrison on the island in the western Black Sea, 80 miles south of Ukraine’s strategic port Odessa.
For at least a week now, Kyiv’s propeller-driven TB-2 armed drones have been waging a relentless defense-suppression campaign over and around Snake Island. The satellite-controlled drones with their 14-pound missiles have knocked out at least three air-defense systems on the 110-acre island as well as two Russian patrol boats and a landing craft along the shore.
Destroying the air-defenses, along with any naval vessels attempting to reinforce the tiny island—with its single pier, helicopter landing pad and dozen or so structures—cleared a path for the twin-engine, supersonic Su-27s to strike on or before Saturday.
A TB-2 was nearby, watching with its gimbal-mounted camera, as the single-seat Sukhois—the Ukrainian air force’s fastest interceptors—streaked low over the island, dropping unguided bombs. Whatever Russian forces were left on the island after the drones did their work, the Su-27s apparently heavily damaged…..

“ The spokesman for the Russian military told so. I am yet to catch him on fakes like Ghost of Kiev or previous Ukrainian drivel regarding the same island.”
You mean the guy who said a few days before Russia invaded Ukraine that Russia was withdrawing its army from the area and never had plans to invade Ukraine? That guy?
Yeah. He’s a liar.
You definitely have no idea what is the truth and what lies. First, would you please give me a link to Mr. Konashenkov speculating about withdrawal. Second, the information about military plans is one thing and the summaries of the battles is another.
Ok Pinoccio.
Where do you read this?
Well…that took about 10 seconds. Definitely shows how much effort you put into finding the truth. I’m thinking less than zero.

Okay, if true, but the point still stands.
What is this?
Its not about supposed US influence, Putin clearly stated that it is his belief that Ukraine is a false state and that it should not exist.

The report of course.
I can’t open whatever it is....

They did. These are the new planes sent from Poland.
Your Russian syntax is showing. You should hire an American grammar student.
“The events on Snake Island off the coast of Odessa are shrouded in the fog of war: in the scarce reports of the Ministry of Defense, there are only reports of destroyed UAVs, not a single military correspondent is on the spot”
Yet the claim is made:
“After that, the Ukrainian Air Force tried to make a massive raid on the island: in addition to unmanned aircraft, they attracted at least two pairs of Su-24 and Su-27 tactical aircraft .”
So how would they know this? These guys must think the west populace is as guillable and generall stupid as the Russian general population...
Well the Ukraine girls really knock me out
They leave the West behind
And Moscow girls make me sing and shout
That Georgia’s always on my mind
Yeah I’m back in the USSR.
You don’t know how lucky you are boys
Back in the USSR.
Were they singing about you, Georgia Girl 2?
No I’m what’s called an educated realist with a four year degree in Poly Sci and international defense systems. In other words I know fake, phony and false propaganda when I hear it. But let me know when Zelensky rides a tank into Red Square. 😆
