100,359 views Dec 5, 2022 Ukraine attacks Russia's Engels Air Base with a possible drone over 600 kilometers from Ukraine home to Tu-95, Tu-160 and Tu-22M
"Engels"??? As in Friedrich???
Looks like Russia needs to be "decommunized" ...
I agree! Russia needs to be decommunized!!!
“That is not propaganda. You saying it is “nothing” is propaganda.”
Who said anything about ‘propaganda’ other than another classic MeganC ass*umption?
Merely stated that for days on end, all of you been living in the shadows and the first time something “good” goes your way, you all crawl out from them shadows to scream and yelp ‘victory’ or that you done something.
Everything that was done via those Ukie strikes today amounted to NOTHING. The bombers still fly, the air fields are still intact. Oh wait, you did kill a few Russians, and to you all, that always good news, right MeganC?
But since that cruise missile strike has occurred, about time to crawl back into the shadows cause I know you all NOT going to talk about anything concerning how the Ukies are being slaughtered in and around Bakhmut, etc., huh?
Bye, bye.
“Everything that was done via those Ukie strikes today amounted to NOTHING.”
If that makes you happy then so be it.
Now I hope the Ukies can find out what part of Russia you live in and give you a personal demonstration of their ability to do ‘nothing’.
‘Now I hope the Ukies can find out what part of Russia you live in and give you a personal demonstration of their ability to do ‘nothing’.”
Spoken like the good little Nazi that you are.....
Yes, time to obliterate Ukraine nationally, and NATO politically, if they persist in being a threat to America. Pull our troops out to defend the homeland and kick the non citizens of the US out of the country
I know that sounds odd, but the International community in all of its forms, hates, Hates, HATES the American ideal. As does the ELECT ed of the US.
It is surrender slow, or “get it on”. The enemy of our enemy is our friend principle. Our collective enemy is the W.E.F., the UN and NATO...there are more. Bank of international settlements for one.
Why are you afraid of nothing?
“Imagine if an independent Texas...” were being invaded by the blue states who were then outraged at the Texans shooting back.
“Why make all sorts of fantasy arguments about Mexico, Canada, or Texas when Cuba is already in the Russian-Chinese orbit?”
Because they have no originality, and are just repeating the same stupid arguments they hear from Russian apologists.
The damage shown in this pic is extensive. Given how crappy RUs logistics have been, this aircraft will probably never fly again.
All ribs in both horizontal stabs are destroyed (damaged beyond repair), and the skin is also destroyed.
Both engine exhaust nozzles are also destroyed. Variable exhaust nozzles are not service items. They are integral to their respective engine.
The only way to repair the engines is to remove them, and ship them to a engine depot or send them to the manufacturer.
There is also structural damage to the airframe itself. This damage appears to be minor, but it would still need to be repaired by a specialist. Unfortunately, most specialists are in a trench in Ukraine.
Most likely, this aircraft will be given "Hangar Queen" status and will be used to supply parts for other aircraft.
