Going by some comments on Russian TG channels and forums, it's believed that the FAB-3000 is the largest bomb that can be equipped with a glide kit. The larger FAB-5000 or FAB-9000 are too large for practical implementation. They were used periodically during the Soviet intervention in Afghanistan in a free fall mode but would not be practical in the current conflict where air-defence is pretty strong

Putin’s Western fanbois LOVE homoerotic images...

You mean homoerotic images of Ukraine's fabulous Zelensky himself?





This is the man sending white Christians to their deaths.

Trump was preventing war by boxing Russia in by strengthening NATO and our nuclear threat against Russia, and started sending weapons to Ukraine.

Putin was afraid of the NATO threat from Trump, he wasn’t just being friendly.

What had Zelenskyy been doing just before 2014 that poked the big bear?

Interesting comment, so after two years of blood letting and destruction of a great deal of equipment, putin is now getting serious.

Interesting strategy

I think that plays into the “3 day” narrative. I believe he did think the roll over of Ukraine would be a cakewalk. After two years his military and country have been severely degraded. He knows a loss would mean the end of his power and his dreams as well as himself(no dictator retirement homes), and he is playing the cards he has left. Big bombs, and he has to use them before adequate responses become available to Ukraine.

Clock is ticking for both sides, I see this as an act of desperation on putins part, may work or may not

I would offer a different perspective or scenario if you like for Trump and his words.
First it was Trump who actually sent weapons to Ukraine. It was Trump who told NATO members to spend what they had agreed to on defense. It was Trump who warned Europe on being dependent on Russia for energy needs.

Trump has his own way of speaking and setting the stage, his 24 hour statement could be read as making ukraine capitulate, or it could mean he will tell putin leave Ukraine or I will get biggly on support

If you mean the word ‘friendly’ I meant Putin wasn’t just being friendly or nice, Putin was afraid of Trump and Trump’s military aggression against Russia and strengthening of the forces against Putin.

lol I understood, that is why based on trumps past actions, I think his words today may be misinterpreted as saying Trump will force Ukraine to cave to putins demands
Trump has dealt with many thugs in his day

“This is the man sending white Christians to their deaths.”

Fortunately for Putin there’s no such people in the Ruzzian forces.
