US Navy and a sampling of ship mishaps: Bonhomme: just some dude did it! Iowa: Gay guy did it for gay reasons! Maddox: okay, so it never even caught fire, but it was those damned North Vietnamese guys anyway! Maine: Cuba, I tell you what Grandcamp: ok, so the government might be negligent for blowing up a whole US port and killing hundreds of its own people, but you can't legally force us to pay out damages Liberty: Look, mistakes happen, and Israel paid the families of the dead...

the horizontal stabilizer does produce lift so the terminology “wing” is accepted https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHqGnYpbzV4

The problem with the level of, let’s be charitable and call it detail, is that I have to go back to the inciting incident, sometimes a page or more, to figure out what’s even being argued by the time it’s gotten to arguments about ousía and physis.

Ardennes posted:So you don’t think the wing or any part connected to it was damaged just to be clear. No, why do you think that? Airplanes are interconnected, and the wingtips of a TU-22M3 are rather near to the aft of the aircraft, where we can clearly see that both horizontal stabs were torn up and shorn, as well as the engines and portions of the tail assembly getting hit. I'd be surprised if there wasn't any damage to the wing. I just thought this was a very funny claim to make, given the photos we have: Ardennes posted:From the damage it looks like it is repairable though and the damage was primary to the wing from the various shots released. I bet a lot of components on this particular Backfire are damaged. That tends to happen when the rear end end of a plane gets shorn off. I would bet it has all kinds of damage, including the tail assembly, engines, probably that port-side wing, etc. e: removed images of a broken truck and aircraft tail mlmp08 has issued a correction as of 14:22 on Dec 6, 2022 |

I think the rear end end of the plane being “shorn” off implies something very different but rather it does very much look like repairable damage, even if portions of the wing and the the entirety of the horizontal stabilizer need to be replaced. It doesn’t look like it is totaled, but the truck was. The Ukrainians are going to need more strikes, this isn’t it. They may also start upping harassment and discrimination of civilians.

This is kind of a moot point as 500 Tu-22Ms were built to 140 Tu-141s lol. Even with perfect precisions Ukraine would run out of drones to strike the bomber bases with before Russia ran out of bombers. This is a vengeance weapon thing, a sensational attack to grab the news cycle just like Dugina, Sevastopol, the Crimea bridge etc.

Yeah, but it is important to fight for accuracy of claims from both sides or it ends up as complete nonsense. But yeah it is a vengeance attack, the Ukrainians be running out of steam on the ground. The problem is what that opens up including possibly in other theaters like the Balkans or the Caucasus.

Even with perfect precisions Ukraine would run out of drones to strike the bomber bases with before Russia ran out of bombers. Russia has dozens, not hundreds of TU-22M-series in service. To get to 500, you have to count some cool looking but very out of service earlier models in the count, which are in museums, graveyards, crashed, scrapped, etc. But good news for Ukraine, they already destroyed at least 60 TU-22s left behind in Ukraine when the USSR fell apart in a great blow to their numbers! Ukraine can retroactively credit themselves with those as aerial victories. Early type TU-22s looked good in a retro way:

Well I am sure the Russians completely trashed every part of those t-22s and have absolutely no parts or way to replace any part of them.
