Russia will take years to replace nuclear-capable bomber planes that were hit in Ukrainian drone strikes last weekend, according to Western military aviation experts, straining a modernisation programme that is already delayed.
Satellite photos of airfields in Siberia and Russia’s far north show extensive damage from the attacks, with several aircraft completely burnt out, although there are conflicting versions of the total number destroyed or damaged.
The United States assesses that up to 20 warplanes were hit - around half the number estimated by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy - and around 10 were destroyed, two U.S. officials told Reuters.
My dream is a united EU assault on Moscow to dethrone Putin and the Oligarchs and, hopefully, return the nation to a less corrupt state.
At this point, it could easily be done, except that Putin would nuke Europe (and probably everybody else) before going down. That is literally the ONLY reason it hasn’t been done.
Immediately upon his death they need to strike.
My dream is for wars to end, not to make new ones, but you do you I guess
I was so naive once too, but I grew out of it.
You said “my dream is”. So if dreams are comming true, I’m not dreaming of an assault on Russia, I’m dreaming of an end to all wars and sufferring.
You should share your dream with Pootang.
That’s a fantasy, not reality. We live in reality.
Reality is there won’t be a unified assault on Moscow either, unless they do something really stupid. And they have done plenty of stupid things already and that hasn’t made anyone do much. People haven’t learned and are trying to appease all over again.
