They're going to nuke Belgorod or some other Russian city.
I mean, that would be a good way to end war. Basically kill your own innocent civilians from a misfired nuclear weapon.
 
I am sure the people of Dnipro can't wait to be occupied and annexed by the glorious Russian Federation after having an intercontinental missile dropped on them. Such affection.

They'll have a vote to join the Glorious Russian Motherland, just like the other regions did so willingly. And convincingly.
 
Zelensky apparently talking about ceding territory to Russia to bring an end to the war, with his terms being NATO protection

Task & Purpose usually makes great videos but he is on one for visiting the front lines. Here he shadows a drone team as they attempt to resupply frontline troops.

 
Slovak Crime Minister made a well-publicised trip to Moscow this week.

It's a shame there's never an electric scooter around when you need one.
 
Russia has likely shot down yet another airliner. This time it was an Azerbaijan Airlines flight from Baku to Grozny that crashed this morning after attempting an emergency landing in Kazakhstan. Flight path data from flightradar24 and video from the crash landing indicate that the aircraft’s control surfaces were not working properly and that the pilots may have steered the aircraft by thrust and thrust differential.

Photos of the tail shows that it has been perforated by what looks like shrapnel from a missile. According to BBC, Russian media states that the flight was diverted due to fog and suffered a bird strike before landing.

Weird bird if you ask me.

Wondering if there was someone on board to remove or it was another accident by some imcompetent BUK operators

Probably incompetence and recklessness. Deliberately shooting down an airliner would be an act of war against Azerbaijan, I don’t think it would be in Russia’s interests to do that.

The second one apparently, there was an Ukrainian drone attack in the vicinity of Grozny when the plane came in to land and someone mistook it for one of those, and fired a Pantsir-S at it. Then the plane was sent all over the Caspian Sea for the required emergency landing, I guess to send it away from the war zone and preventing a direct strike on it?

Anyways pilots were heroes, maneuvering the E190 with no hydraulics for more than an hour over the sea. Much like in JAL123 or UAL232, and somehow still managing to save 30.
