AN EXPLOSION has rocked a Russian airbase in Crimea as horrified tourists watched from a nearby beach.

The blast comes just hours after Putin's humiliated troops were forced to pull out of a key occupied city in Ukraine.

The cause of the explosion, which sent sparks and plumes of smoke into the air, is currently unknown.

But according to the Russian-appointed head of occupied Sevastopol, the explosion was caused when on board munitions detonated on a military aircraft that overshot the runway at Belbek airport.

There were no immediate reports of missile strikes on the plane or airport by Ukraine.

It was unclear if there were casualties but it was reported that the pilot managed to escape.

While I reserve judgement on this war, I am heartened by the seeming ineptitude of the Russian military.

The seem to stink on ice.

Roughly translates as something like: "Mama Mia* We've got to get out of here!"

* I think it's a fond diminutive of mom, something like mamacita literally "little mother" in Spanish.

Increased ops tempo with poorly maintained aircraft, poorly maintained weapons loads, poorly trained pilots and air crews = kaboom!

However, it seems to me we also have an increasing number of birds falling from the sky, too.

This is the United States conducting war on Russia.

But either you’re not smart enough to recognize it or honest enough to admit it, or both.

Tactical battlefield nukes, here we come. You can pretty much count on it.

And then what?
