Vladimir Putin has lost four warplanes worth £37 million each despite stepping up their defences after Ukraine’s Operation Spiderweb.
A pair of Su-34 fighters were destroyed and two more damaged after an attack on on Marinovka military airfield in Volgograd.
Ukraine used long range drones to fly more than 200 miles to inflict the latest £148 million blow to Putin’s aerial firepower.
It came less than a month after Russia supposedly tightened its military air base security after 40-plus strategic bombers and spy planes were hit in Ukraine’s Operation Spiderweb.
Russia responded by hitting Ukrainian civilians with a strike on a 21-storey residential block in Odesa, killing a married couple and leaving at least 14 others wounded including children aged three and seven.
Furious Russian military analysts confirmed the damage to the Su-34 multi-role fighters used on the frontline for bombing missions against Ukraine, including dropping guided aerial bombs.
The latest attack was admitted by pro-war Russian Telegram channel Fighterbomber which raged that the hit ‘could and should have been prevented’.
‘There is no point in commenting on Marinovka….and it would be nice if not only the [Ukrainians] were held accountable….otherwise, it will continue like this.’
The channel expressed fury at the ‘multi-billion dollar’ losses Putin’s forces are suffering.

Luckily for Putin, Zelinski doesn’t have any cards to play.
You’re right, but
he does have NATO cards to play..
Did The Putin check under the table? Sometimes stuff rolls under the table... 
The daily mugasm...
I guess sWill Stewart is having a mini-vacay and MI-6 brought in the grade-schoolers from the bench.
If I were Putin I would come to conclusion that the only effective defense is nukes targeting NATO assets and population centers, with maybe the occasional bounty posted for high profile targets on the side. The policy could be posted in the form of a simple flow diagram that would be easy enough for the world to understand.
Utterly humiliated, totally debased. Probably gonna off himself annnny day now.
An even better defense would be to leave Ukraine. Putin invaded a country and is now in the middle of war. The nature of war being both sides fight including on both combatants territory.
He wil not use to support his invasion. To do so will force a response. If piting can take what he wants by using a nuke them there is no logical stopping point for him.
“ You’re right, but
he does have NATO cards to play..”
Not without the United States, and Trump doesn’t seem to eager to help Zelensky. FAFO. Zelensky came to DC, embarrassed himself and Trump in front of the entire world. He FA’d and FO.
Does it matter? Neither side seems to be using planes and it’s become more like WWI artillery exchanges except they do have effective drones.
Oh look! Another British tabloid. There’s a shock.
‘There is no point in commenting on Marinovka….and it would be nice if not only the [Ukrainians] were held accountable….otherwise, it will continue like this.’

Vlad is gobbling up village after village, across all fronts….Zaparhoznia region next up on Vlad’s chopping block.
Putin started this war!

Once again, the war started in 2014 when the Ukies began shelling the Donbass….St Z’s neoNazis lead the charge on Donetsk and Lughansk provinces….well documented.
“Once again, the war started in 2014 when the Ukies began shelling the Donbass…”
Once again: Following the impeachment of the relatively pro-Russia Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, Russia invaded Crimea, overthrew the elected autonomous government and claimed to annex it in 2014.
“St Z’s neoNazis lead the charge on Donetsk and Lughansk provinces….well documented.”
Many commentators have already debunked Russian President Vladimir Putin’s absurd claim to be waging war to “de-nazify” Ukraine.

“Vlad is gobbling up village after village, across all fronts…”
Russia holds less territory now than in 2022.
Russia is going broke fighting this two week war.
