Russia tried downplaying the destruction of one of its prized supersonic bombers.
Ukraine has launched two major kamikaze drone strikes that took out one of Putin's prized nuclear bombers in a spectacular fireball and caused significant damage to a train station used to supply Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
New footage of the strike on Soltsy airbase in the Novgorod region shows one of Russia's nuclear bombers being swallowed by an enormous fireball.
Smoke billowing from the fireball could be seen for miles around.

The attack on the prized bomber came a day before a major railway station was also attacked in a suspected Ukrainian kamikaze drone strike.
There was a fire and damage to the roof and facade of the Kursk train station on a line used to transport weapons, troops and ammunition to Vladimir Putin's illegal war against Ukraine.
Footage showed the moment of attack as drone attacks were also reported in Moscow and Rostov region.

So "Putin Stooges" is now the epithet you use for people who disagree with you? It's one of the new insults to replace "Putinista" that Jim Rob ordered people to stop using? Oh and I only worship one God in heaven, the God of the Bible, but you knew that and decided I 'deserved' an insult upon my faith for daring to disagree with you.
I want the billions Biden sent to the Ukraine to be used to build a wall on the southern border, where there's an 800x increase in illegals from China flooding into the US. I don't want our money to go to Russia or the Ukraine, and you have an epithet lined up to 'discourage' people from voicing that opinion.
That will buff right out.
I just can’t figure out why so many freepers are pro Russian. They have spread their tyranny and communism throughout the world for over 100 years. Ukraine might not be perfect but they are victims of Russian imperialism
Good point
So, we should expect more wars of liberation of ethnic Russians in neighboring countries? Poor Russia! Somehow, the lands of the biggest empire on the planet were stolen by its neighbors and need liberating. What country in Europe does not have ethnic minorities in neighboring countries? The wars would never end if that was a legitimate reason to invade a neighbor.
Maybe they should move?
Was I supposed to tailor my post for your approval?
Good shot!
Exactly.
After WWII, millions of ethnic Germans across Europe were deported to Germany. Maybe the same should happen to Russians? Only Putin and Mother Russia can keep them safe.
How about calling you pro-Russia guys, Putin’s altar boys?
Russia is no longer communist. Actually they seem more socially conservative than the Democratic Party in the USA.
I agree neither is perfect but I think both sides have valid points. Russia doesn’t want NATO expansion to the point it almost surrounds them (at least their most important region) and Ukraine has a right to defend their border, unlike the US apparently.
Now we can argue a lot of details like was the 2014 coup that put Zelensky in power staged by western deep state under Obama? or is Putin using NATO expansion as a frivolous excuse so he can conqueror the world?
Which is why I’m neutral but honestly as I’ve watched Biden and Hunter revelations on how they made money in Ukraine—traded favors as a VP etc I’m less critical of Russia than I would have been.
The price for trusting Biden.
More war porn from the Zelensky-loving trolls. The fake war will be over soon and you Ukrainian trollers will scurry like rats.
Tu-22M?
Worry about America 🇺🇸 This isn’t our business.

You were supposed to respect Jim Rob's wishes, not employ a technicality to evade them.
Apparently you don't comprehend the difference between targeting people you disagree with and 'tailoring your post for their approval' and I'm not available to teach you.
Tu-22M3.
Sorry Dude, you can’t remain neutral. Either you root for one team or you root for the other team.
At least that what it looks like around here.
“Rah rah, sis BOOM bah!”
Happy for you sweetie.
Putin’s Chechens just got Storm Shadowed in Mariupol a few minutes ago. Boom! Boom! Boom!
