58:42 / 1:12:35 The Ukraine Air War Moves to Russia - Drone attacks, F-16s & Changing tactics

While the Ukrainian army has demonstrated that it's capable of fighting Russian forces on the ground, the air-war in Ukraine has always been far more asymmetric. In this episode we look at the changing nature of that war, including the emergence of behind-the-lines strikes, and the upcoming arrival of the much awaited F-16s for Ukraine's air force.

These kind of terrorist tactics are absolutely irrelevant to the war itself and only make Russians more supportive of the war effort.

But, who would expect anything less than yet another moronic strategy with the Biden regime and Victoria Nuland in charge?

I thought the conditions for getting F-16s from other countries was that they only be used IN Ukraine.

Hah, since when does that matter to Zelensky, he wants WWIII.

Terrorist tactics?

That’s rich. Given what Russia has already done to Ukraine?

It takes a very strange mindset to write like you do. Its beyond the limits of my ability to reason.

Yes, attacking civilians with drones in Moscow is act of terrorism as is constantly targeting civilians in Donetsk.

Using cluster munitions is war crime. As is using civilians human shields as the Ukrainians have in places like Mariupol.

We, under Biden, have become evil empire. And, you and your ilk defending all of it are scum. You have no moral compass whatosever.

Hmm. What was all that about random bombardments of Ukrainian cities (and towns and villages) over the last 18 months?

And this was from the very beginning. The Russians kicked off in Feb 2022 with a mass bombardment of the city of Kharkiv with Uragan rocket systems. The city is now full of shattered apartment buildings.

The Russian mind is a very strange thing it seems.

The Ukrainians will be in Moscow before you know it. (sarcasm). Both sides have done regrettable things. I am on the side of Russian and Ukrainian mothers who have had their sons come home in a box. The U.S. government could stop this slaughter immediately but too many people are profiting from it. Disgusting subhumans.

I think the Russians will be out of Ukraine. At some point.
The Russian government could stop this immediately. That is the only just outcome.

One side has done vastly more “regrettable things”, the balance of that is on the scale of the Atlantic Ocean vs a teaspoon.

Which is it? Ukraine wants to be in NATO or like Israel. The two aren’t compatable

".... F-16s for Ukraine's air force....."

Isn't "ukrainian air force" a sort of an oxymoron?

"Terrorist tactics?"

That's right, ukraine is a terrorist state which is consistently attacking civilian targets.

Look up “Kharkiv destruction” on your browser. And that’s just one city.
