The article does state that..”In 15 months of hard fighting, the air force has lost at least 1/2 of its pre-war jet inventory—and scores of pilots.
Furthr ading...”for the 7th Bomber Regiment, there were up to 47 ‘old’ Su-24 airframes in storage across Ukraine, many of them at the aircraft boneyard in Bila Tserkva near Kyiv.... Technicians have been fixing up these old jets in order to keep the 7th Bomber Regiment in the war.”
Thank you Vlad for your input.
If Ukraine has 18 HIMARS, and Russia claims 25 HIMARS destroyed, how much is the Russia MOD lying?
That about sums it up.
Ok. You’re the most intelligent person on FR.
You forgot to mention the bayoneting of babies on church doors. Please stop with this Russian nonsense. There were never any plans for the ethnic cleansing of Russian speakers. In the meantime, how many Ukrainians have the Russians killed using this fiction as an excuse?
So, you are okay with the Russians killing hundreds of millions because of their paranoia?
A reality check, for those few remaining freepers who still value reality when it comes to this war.

False assumption.
It will be WWIII, western nations attacking Russia and Russia attacking them. The war would expand to affect other nations directly - and open the door for China to stretch the US military across the world. Also NK.
I prefer peace to senseless death.
No one is planning to attack Russia; they have nukes.
I prefer peace to senseless death.
So do I. That is why Russia needs to go home and end this tragedy. There was no reason this had to happen in the first place. It is Russian aggression — not NATO expansion, not alleged ethnic cleansing, not Nazi boogeymen, etc., etc. — that is driving this. Russia goes home and all can live in peace again.
I don't see it that way.
If you threaten any nation, it will go to the next step.
My nation, the US would do the same.
Russia will be no different.
I'm astounded you think that. The west will attack Russia, regardless of nukes.
That is why Russia needs to go home and end this tragedy.
Still silly and resolves only one side.
There was no reason this had to happen in the first place.
Agree. Little Z should have counted the cost and negotiated before it began. I think he was paid not to.
It is Russian aggression
War is always the last aggressive response when a nation cannot resolve things peacefully.
No one has been threatening Russia. If you have not noticed, it is Russia that has been doing the threatening, and the actual invasion.
If you escalate using shadow cruise missiles, or F16s, Russia will take the next step. Only natural.
If you have not noticed, it is Russia that has been doing the threatening, and the actual invasion.
Only in the fevered Zeeper world, where even coins are so thin they only have one side.... so there's that.
It is interesting that you skip the first step: RUSSIA'S INVASION!
Simplicious is one of the absolute most accurate sites, he backs up what he states by video and pictures, something the Biden bootlickers MSM never do.
Good to see some have “ seeked out” the truth in this regional conflict. His coverage on the destroyed Patriot batteries was outstanding.
“War is always the last aggressive response when a nation cannot resolve things peacefully.”
Or if that nation doesn’t WANT to “resolve things”.
Which was Russia’s position. Putin and Co. saw an opportunity with weak US leadership- Biden had recently signed off on Nordstream 2 and had just been humiliated in Afghanistan. NATO was moribund.
Russian goals were to force Ukraine into puppet status, as was its policy pre-2014. A Belorussia situation.
There is no other side. Putin at this point just wants to hold on to the land he has grabbed. This is uncomplicated aggression.
It’s exactly like Stalin’s aggression vs the Baltics, Finland, Poland and Romania in 1939-1940, under cover of the German war. Opportunistic land-grabbing.
Stalin too had disingenuous propaganda to cover his schemes.
