Great graphic RevMom… There’s going to be hell to pay in the next few weeks and I’m loving every moment of it

Just imagine on this forum lining up with Russia and all those scumbag allies such as North Korea, Communist China, Belarus, Iran, Syria, Central African Republic, Congo, Zimbabwe, Cuba, Nicaragua etc etc against something like 160 civilised countries including the United States, Japan, UK, Germany, France, Poland and of course Ukraine at the center of the worldwide effort

Why I’d be ashamed to show my face

Ukrainians are fighting because they were sold a bill of goods by Zelensky and Biden and Nato....they ‘expected’ and ‘believed’ NATO to fully engage in this war early on.

There are Freepers who will not post on Ukraine threads to avoid the flame wars. This is what they are thinking. Including this child of the Reagan years.

Four Russian military aircraft downed near Ukraine border

https://tvpworld.com/69826245/ukrainian-forces-use-mobile-rocket-system-against-russian-frontline

Ukrainian forces utilized ‘Partyzan’, a mobile multiple-launch rocket system, against Russian forces on the southern frontline near Huliaipole, Zaporizhzhia region, on Friday. Artillery shelling echoed through the area as soldiers unloaded rockets for the ‘Partyzan’ system.

The unit’s commander, identified by the call-sign ‘Khokhol’, stated, “Enemy artillery is shooting at us now. We will try to hit it now. We have the coordinates, their artillery is 18 kilometers (11 miles) from us.” The commander further claimed that the ‘Partyzan’ system could reach enemy targets up to 36 kilometers away.

Soldiers inscribed messages on the rockets before loading them into the system, with one reading, “For the orcs, without respect.”

The grim reality of the frontline was underlined by incoming shelling as the unit prepared the system for launch. “There is quite a short time period for the crew to take a position. Because if the enemy sees it, there will be incoming rockets and artillery. They (Russians) hunt this crew,” explained the press officer, known by the call-sign ‘Choreographer’.

Ukraine is widely anticipated to soon launch a counteroffensive aimed at pushing back Russian forces, with the recapture of the entire Zaporizhzhia region being a primary objective according to analysts.

I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the four hundred and forty fourth day of the war.

Day 444: May 13

Today there are a lot of updates from the northeast.

The day started with several massive explosions in Luhansk, which is a city located around 100 km behind the front line. This was actually the second consecutive day of precision strikes on targets inside this city, which magnified panic and speculations about the usage of Storm Shadow missiles because previously, Ukrainians could not reach so deep in the rear.

The first and second targets of the Ukrainian strike became machine-building factories. These factories were used as some of the most important and reliable repair facilities for the Russian tanks, armored fighting vehicles, and other equipment. Russian sources reported that Ukrainians used at least two rockets and successfully hit the Poli-pak factory and the Milan factory.

The third target became the former building of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Such buildings are usually used as high-level military headquarters for the commanders of brigades and divisions.

The fourth and fifth targets became facilities belonging to food and chemical processing plants. Such factories usually have huge warehouses and storage facilities, which were likely used for storing ammunition and equipment.

At first, Russian sources reported that Ukrainians used ballistic missiles Hrim-2, however, today, as more information became available, this theory was dispelled. Today Russians found remnants of a British Storm Shadow missile and an American ADM-160B rocket. On top of that, Russians noted that Ukrainians scrambled one Su-24 and one MiG-29, which gave an insight into the Ukrainian tactic.

In order to make sure that a Storm Shadow missile reached its target, Ukrainians first launched ADM-160 missiles as decoys for the Russian air defense. And while the Russian air defense was focused on the decoy, the Storm Shadow missiles had a clear sky. And all of that happened under the cover of MiG-29.

Russian Air Force also conducted a missile strike today. Ukrainian General Staff reported that they recorded a total of 21 launches of various drones. Ukrainian air defense managed to shoot down 17, while 4 managed to hit objects in various parts of Ukraine.

The biggest explosion happened in Khmelnytskyi. Judging by the explosion, it is clear that Russians managed to blow up an ammunition depot on a Ukrainian military base located around 1 km away from the city. Russian sources reported that this base has huge storage of aircraft ammunition.

Another successful strike happened in Ternopil. The target became a railway machinery and repair plant, which Ukrainians are possibly using for repairing their equipment.

But the biggest news by far comes from the northern front. Today Russians lost here 4 aircraft within minutes. Russian officials reported that the incidents happened due to an engine malfunction. Unofficial sources challenged the official narrative and stated that even though the fire indeed broke out near the engine, it looked like an explosion from a missile. The photos of the remnants dispelled all doubts as the damage is characteristic of a missile explosion.

The most credible version of what happened suggests that Ukrainians ambushed Russian aviation with their own aviation. Ukrainians reportedly used fighter jets from their airfield in Poltava that were equipped with the AIM-120 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missiles, which have a range of up to 70 km, so Ukrainian jets would not even need to get close to the border. In this case, all puzzles fit together, and some Russian military-affiliated bloggers reported that they are already trying to find the clerks that instructed the pilots to operate at an unsafe altitude. Given that Ukrainians are closely monitoring Russian airfields, it would not be hard to make such a trap, especially knowing the general patterns in which Russians like to approach the targets and also knowing their regulations for altitude.

It gets worse than losing four irreplaceable aircraft.

Plant producing MiG engines on fire in Moscow. Warehouses near CHP plant burn in region Fire breaks out at plant producing engines for MiG fighters in Moscow, 3 injured

Combat aircraft go through a lot of engines, and the Mig-29 plant and warehouses caught fire. The planes can not be replaced because they rely on foreign electronic parts. Fewer engines to keep them will limit the flying time of the fighters that use those engines.

Russia lost more land in a week than they took in months, lost four planes, lost a fighter engine plant and warehoused engines.

Cake, icing, cherry on top.

In the Samara region, a factory shop is on fire, the area of the fire is 6 thousand square meters.

WOW! Your P.M. didn’t mention it was THIS huge!

Thanks for the update. I appreciate your sharing info regarding fire at plant building Mig-29 engines.

Unbelievable!

Just say it in English as FR requires.....

“But now a successful counterattack was carried out, and the enemy was suddenly struck in the air in the Bryansk region.”
