Russian Invasion of Ukraine

[Blitz24]

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.

So if they all stay home, it's a no vote?

The number of homes is sadly ever decreasing.

Still 115% for to join.

Zelensky apparently talking about ceding territory to Russia to bring an end to the war, with his terms being NATO protection

Russian General Igor Kirillov, suspected of authorising chemical attacks using chloropricin in Ukraine, has been connected to God's wifi.

What a marvellous piece of news.

Apparently the Ukrainians are taking credit for it.

A Russian general was killed by a bomb in Moscow. Ukraine official says secret service was behind it

Igor Kirillov, who was named the head of Russia’s nuclear defense forces in April 2017, was under sanctions from several countries including the U.K. and Canada for his role in Ukraine.

See Israel, this is how you kill a senior level official without leveling an entire city block.

If only Israel were that accurate...

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.

Took out a high-value cargo ship, severely hindered port operations, and delayed the launch of a submarine for an extended time, all in one shot. That's what you call efficiency.

Massive missile attack on the morning of December 25-th.

Ukraine has explicitly changed its Christmas calendar from the Tsarist 7th January to the continental 24th December.

****ing *****.

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.

That’s just pure evil, coming from one of the world’s major players. Humanity has a long way to go.

Gee, you think?

This very forum on the internet is already proof.

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.

True miracle there were survivors.

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.

While shooting down airplanes, the Russians are also blowing up power cables too:

Finnish police say authorities detained a ship linked to neighboring Russia as they investigate whether it damaged a Baltic Sea power cable and several data cables.

Wouldn't be a Russian move if they turned on friendly fire.

 

[Dennisch]

Estonia has started a naval mission to protect the cables in the Baltic Sea. Finland has taken over the tanker. It's going to be a matter of time before ships heading for Russian ports will be stopped altogether.
