Russia has held off large missile attacks for close to two weeks. Previously, they are reported to have used missiles without warheads and pulled nuclear warheads from missiles, presumably to use as decoys. There has been a increase at activity at Russian air bases used to attack Ukraine during this time. It would make sense that Russia has spent the time preparing a larger attack to saturate Ukraine's air defenses.
Today explosions were reported at two Russian airbases used to attack Ukraine. The Russian Military having more of their infamous workplace accidents shows the attack is off to a great start. /s 😈
Another long day ahead for Ukraine.
hattip and ping.
8 Russian TU-95’s are MIA from Russia’s infrastructure air attack that’s happening right now.
The Russian winter offensive is just starting.
Military experts that I tend to believe think this will be significant and result in Ukraine on its knees.
But it is war and anything can happen.
Lets keep it civil, which is really hard on Ukraine threads.
Who do you think are credible military experts who think this, and why?
Not helpful.
Oh sorry. Btw, I appreciate your comment about civility. Hold on.
How do you know? Your sources are always suspect. Could be that one stupid act, if true, led to this.
🇷🇺 ⚡️On the morning of December 5 this year. The Kiev regime, in order to disable Russian long-range aircraft, made attempts to strike with Soviet-made jet unmanned aerial vehicles at the military airfields “Dyagilevo” in the Ryazan region and “Engels” in the Saratov region.
◽️ Ukrainian UAVs flying at low altitude were intercepted by the air defense of the Russian Aerospace Forces.
◽️ As a result of the fall and explosion of fragments of jet drones at Russian airfields, the outer hulls of two aircraft were slightly damaged.
◽️ Three Russian technical servicemen who were at the airfield were fatally wounded.
◽️ Four more injured servicemen were taken to medical facilities, where they were provided with all the necessary medical assistance.
◽️ Despite the attempts of the Kiev regime to disrupt the combat work of the Russian Long-Range Aviation with a terrorist act, today at about 15.00 (Moscow time) a massive strike was carried out on the military command and control system and related facilities of the defense complex, communication centers, energy and military units of Ukraine with high-precision air and sea based weapons.
◽️ All the 17 assigned strike targets and objects were hit.
◽️ As a result of the strike, the transfer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reserves, foreign weapons, military equipment and ammunition to the combat areas by rail was disrupted
@mod_russia
Are these 8 planes missing from the Pooty Pal comment #10 about the successful Russian attack on all 17 targets planned against Ukraine today?
