Ukrainian pilots learning to fly A-10 Warthogs

BRRRRRT!

Unfortunately, Warthogs require an air superiority environment. Those titanium tubs and multiple redundancies offer no protection against SAMs -- even MANPADS.

You and the rest of us are antiwar?

I thought we were all Putin puffers and such.

Biden caused this war with Afghanistan and his defeatist statements on Ukraine.
He only started to support Ukraine after both parties in Congress demanded it.

Facts are difficult things.

This statement alone tells me you are woefully ignorant on the history of the AZOV movement in Ukraine.

Funny how a few years ago there were newspapers running articles about the rise of the AZOV Nazis to positions of power in Ukraine that have been flushed down the search engines.

Whatever else is being planned I don’t know. I’m just noting what channel two from Billings had on TV this morning.

A nation where the leader pushes homosexual marriage in the middle of a war shows how serious they are about winning a war. Non serious people tend to lose

Of course Russia loses wars, and they are trying hard to lose this one - so far.

My comment was simply saying “the war was supposed to be over in ten days” was just like saying, “the boys will be home by Christmas 1914” - irrelevant to the outcome.

They are clueless about a lot in this conflict.

Document didn’t mention the coming Spring offensive. That was and is the main focus and not even mentioned.

This isn't a military action.

It is the name of a fund raiser.

Care to share one of these articles from before the propaganda war started in 2014?

“they must have received more because they are planning on moving Patriots up to the front line for the offensive.”

Moving a battery which shoots $2mil projectiles to the front line, low level defense is NOT winning.

Those batteries are designed for IRBMs. But they are being used to shoot down $10k Iranian drones at 500ft.

Yeah, the entire world was lied to for months.

Sure, Ukraine has put up a valiant defense...especially knowing Russia’s every move (Russia’s comms compromised).
But in the end, it’s tonnage that will prevail.

Some still refuse to acknowledge the lies because they are so emotionally invested in them.

Drones are changing the nature of warfare.

You idiot neocons..

The one you're (attempting) to communicate with is special.

She's on my "Special Type of Idiot" list - right up there with T-Bozo, the "speedy" assclown and a few others

“Russia has lost.”

What?

Russia has lost territory?

Wrong.

This is a conflict we started.

Sorry that pointing out facts has you so butt-hurt.

Exactly. And Russia’s claims have constantly evolved to such in the gullible. So first Ukraine never should have been given independence. Next Nazis. Then biolabs. Then Soros. Then gays (one of my favorites as an all time made up total propaganda fabrication repeated constantly here).

Putin wants Ukraine for lots of important reasons the fools here don’t even acknowledge.

They actuallly think Putin read that Ukraine was about to legalize gay marriage so he committed his entire army to over one year of a devastating disastrous war.

“Most of it is covered in a War Zone article - but they are unlike the classified documents of my day; these are printed in terrible colors and then photoed in a crumbled state with no attempt to smooth or straighten them.”

Where are those documents posted?

You are right the documents if printed would be in high standards. A lot of the Command staff would have access to high quality laser printers and scanners, even forward deployed J staff would have good printers.

Because of this very dynamic, I've watched Williams, in a very short period of time, turn himself from a respected, long-term FReeper into a forum FOOL.
