Moscow maintains that Ukraine has also lost three Su-24 bombers, one Su-27 fighter jet, three armored amphibious assault ships, 10 different helicopters and more than 50 soldiers during the attempt to retake Snake Island Information released by the Russian Defense Ministry suggests that Ukraine has so far lost 30 drones in the area around the snake island in the last three days, including nine Bayraktar TB2 drones, one of which was shot down by Russian air defenses on Tuesday, according to the Defense Ministry. Snake Island fell at the beginning of the invasion on February 24 with the assault of two Russian ships, led by the Moscowwhich weeks later was sunk by a Ukrainian missile.

From Ukraine, the information coming out of Moscow has not been confirmed or denied, but they have announced that during these days there have been attacks around the island of Serpents, including Victory Day itself, when Russia commemorates the defeat of the german army in WWII.

Ukraine struck back with Bayraktar TB2 drones destroying a Serna-class landing craft and two Raptor-class patrol boats, as well as damaging a third.

Count me kindred if you check in with The Duran, also. Especially before following the Jen Psaki media poodles that compose the likewise blood thirsty Western msm.

UKR is so out of boys to fight, but being pushed forward anyway, by Regime Biden’s visceral hatred of Putin, that now middle aged men are being already CONSCRIPTED!

When Republicans find voting along side nation breaking Soros puppets and corrupt Schiff and Radicals, we would think they would __________ .....!

Correction, click on map on right, then scroll down. 807 Ukie drones downed way, way up from last week ( about 688).

We’ll see. Appears to be a slow grinding war of attrition, liquidating the UKR armed forces, causing UKR to have begun conscription of older men.

Russia has the weapons, expertise to use them, all the natural resources to sustain, and the eastern water sources, plenty of Russian fuel & oil, (Crimea has 40% of the world wheat production for Russia) countless human reserves and a country solidly behind Putin, complaining only that he has been too reserved and are bitter about the Nazi Battalion having tortured their soldiers to death.

Also. weird when a third of the nation you’re invading wants the invaders to win.

The US is breaking Europe and crushing UKR to keep this going. Insanely unnecessary killing.

I think it’s possible they want UKR returned to Poland and US will have to allow return of eastern UKR back to the Russian Federation.

Without a navy, Ukraine can’t hold the island. And without effective air defense, the Russians can’t either.

An entertaining read, thanks. No mention of the Russian Battalion Tactical Group that was virtually wiped out.

807 Ukie drones downed

So they count DJI hobby drones now?

I see your point.

My overarching concern is globalism. I think Putin is a bad character, but globalism is worse for freedom overall. When there’s no more bad guys/countries, who are the bad guys then?
In my opinion, we, the freedom loving people are. I know many see global tyranny as some conspiracy theory, but I don’t.

That’s why the Vermont Lt is not a general.

There are some real geniuses who hang out here.

Perhaps you might consider looking at the videos posted showing a number of Ukrainian air force attacks on the island, and the satellite photographs taken afterwards that show smoke plumes and wreckage as a result of the Ukrainian strikes.

It is fine for some blogger to publish fantasy fiction, but actual imagery of the attacks is more useful information.

Some commentary on the attack, and video of a pair of Ukrainian manned bombers hitting targets on the island

TB2 strike on a boat docking at Snake Island You can see the wreckage in later satellite photos.

The SU-27 attack video for those who don't like to go to Telegram channels.

Satellite images showing the wreckage

TB2 video showing the results of an attack on an anti-aircraft missile launcher on Snake Island.

More video of the attack

You can see the same damage in this satellite photo where the wreckage is still smoking

It sure as hell wasn't a claim. Videos exist of Ukrainian helicopters being blown up before they set ground on the island.

Videos posted by Ukraine, from a Bayraktar drone, of a "Russian" MI-8 being destroyed.
