Preemptive Ukrainian drone strike while Russia was preparing another mass missile attack on Ukraine on the 26th. Rumors 2 Russian strategic bombers were hit as well as Russian cruise missiles stored at the base.

Engels Air Force Base (Russian: Энгельс, formally Engels-2) is a strategic bomber military airbase in Russia located 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) east of Saratov. Engels is a major bomber operations base, and is Russia's sole operating location for the Tupolev Tu-160 (NATO: Blackjack) strategic bomber. The base has a 3,500-metre (11,500 ft) runway and about 10 large revetments. It is named after the nearby city of Engels, which is named after the Communist philosopher, Friedrich Engels.

Waiting for a Putinista to chirp "See? America renames things due to wokeness...Russia holds on to tradition."

Blasts reported at Engels air base deep inside Russia - online media

Russia can't defend its airbases from a Ukrainian drone?

Correction: CIA & MI6 pre-emptive strike.

[elpadre]

seems like I read a story the other day that the CIA had a sabotage team working inside Russia.

If that is true (big “if}, then if they should apprehended we may expect the first nuclear strike.

The more we bow to threats of nuclear attacks from the communist/fascist nations, the more they'll build up their nuclear forces. The more they get away with those threats and build up their nuclear forces, the more they'll be likely to attack us with those forces.

With unlimited dollars gifted to them after being borrowed from taxpayers yet to be born, they should be able to deploy weapons gifted to them after being bought using money borrowed from taxpayers yet to be born, in all sorts of creative ways.

File this one under>>> Russian sheeeet goes KABOOM! Mysteriously!

[Vaden]

The ground is now freezing solid allowing the Ukrainian troops to begin planning major attacks. It will soon start up again.

Many of these mysterious explosions going on all over RuSSia (including the far east 3,000 miles from Ukraine) are due to RuSSian general disrepair, technological backwardness, and also a failure to maintain facilities due to sanctions. It is a fact that much of RuSSia’s industrial, gas, oil, and military facilities are OLD. Much of it has not been improved since the 1960’s-era technology. And since RuSSia is a nation that cannot make even make ball bearings that hold up, everything is falling apart and causes catastrophic failures.

Trump was right…if he was in charge it would be over now.

Trust the plan.

For Christmas the Ukies
Must be extra nice
So blast away at Russia
And do everything twice

Nuke ‘em from Orbit
If Ukies must
The only way to stop
Bad Vlad’s blood lust

Blast Vlad so much
That he’s begging for more
Vladimir the evil
Known as Satan’s whore
