The funniest rumor about Navalny was that he got conscripted from prison and was fighting in Bakhmut.

Source: BBC https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68387232 Ukraine says it has downed second Russian A-50 spy plane in weeks By Phelan Chatterjee Published 2 hours ago Ukraine says it has downed a Russian A-50 military spy plane - the second such claim in just over a month. The plane was hit between the Russian cities of Rostov-on-Don and Krasnodar, Ukrainian military sources said, over 200km (124 miles) from the front line. Emergency services reportedly found plane fragments in Kanevskoy district and put out a raging fire. Russia has not commented on the claim. Saturday marks two years since Russia launched a full-scale invasion.... ... Video shared online shows the moment the plane appears to be shot down in the air, as well as huge flames and thick, dark smoke seemingly rising after the crash. Krasnodar's emergency authorities later said an aircraft had crashed near the Trudovaya Armenia village, Kanevskoy district, and a fire was later extinguished. It provided no further details. Meanwhile, at least one Russian military-aligned Telegram channel suggested the plane may have come down as a result of friendly fire. Fighterbomber wrote: "At the moment it is unknown who shot it down." Ukraine last claimed to have shot down an A-50 on 14 January...

DJJIB-DJDCT posted:Well this is the problem, because if it were me, I would arrange for a NATO AWACs or Rivet Joint to crash on takeoff from Rammstien or whatever, and for mysterious NATO saboteurs to blow up their own LNG terminal to show they could blow up a Russian LNG terminal if they wanted to, but I guess cooler heads are prevailing? To be perfectly honest I've been wondering why so little of that has been going on. It's not because of heavy security, we know that much considering how wide open a ton of key critical infrastructure is. You could ping it on almost anyone. Then again a dish served cold perhaps.

uber_stoat posted:i don't think they can just pump these things out like artillery shells. Ah but they can make them. Which practically none of our nations can. If Australia loses an AWACS it's just gone. I guess they can order another one from Boeing for delivery in several years time, after the budget white paper approval blah blah chain see you in 10 years. Had to look it up quickly. 6. That's how many Australia has. All irreplacable domestically but that's also true of any aircraft that isn't light passenger running on props.

Russia finished 4 of those supersonic bombers this week, Putin even flew on one. They could make new AWACs, but they really should extract some sort of toll for losing theirs. Js.

Back then I thought "oh come on that's bullshit, that's not how representative democracy work, it's not hereditary" but then 15 years later I'm proven that this is actually how liberals think the world works. * the actor went on to play Indian Jack Bauer in their remake of the show for Indian audiences.

I was going through some old random photos on my hard drive I'd saved over the years, and came across one that struck me as oddly relevant to this whole war.

Until the 1980s, American historians assumed that the Soviet Union had exaggerated their death toll in World War II, because it seemed inconceivable that a country could keep fighting after 20 million people were killed. After glasnost made it possible to examine the Soviet censuses, they learned that the Soviets had actually downplayed the death toll of World War II, and the actual number was around 27 million Soviet citizens. Going by modern borders, Russia and Ukraine had the most and second-most deaths of any European country in World War II. (The country with the most casualties was China)

Regarde Aduck posted:I'm not allowed to see that Ukraine can deploy F-16s to attack deep inside Russia – NATO Kiev will be able to use the fighter jets outside its claimed borders, the bloc’s head has said Ukraine will be free to use F-16 fighter jets it will receive from NATO against military targets 'inside Russia,' or beyond Kiev's claimed borders, the US-led bloc's Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has told American state-run media. Stoltenberg was speaking to RFE/RL for an interview scheduled to air on Friday. According to snippets released in advance, the NATO head has argued that Ukraine has the right to self-defense against Russian “aggression,” which would include “striking legitimate Russian military targets outside Ukraine.” As to when the government in Kiev might actually receive the promised jets, Stoltenberg would not say. Each NATO member that has pledged to deliver F-16s has different policies and will decide themselves, he explained. While some of Ukraine’s backers want the jets in action as soon as possible, they will have a stronger impact if the pilots are well-trained and there are enough maintenance and support crews on hand, according to Stoltenberg. “So, I think we have to listen to the military experts exactly when we will be ready to or when allies will be ready to start sending and delivering the F-16s,” he said. “The sooner the better.” Ukraine has long demanded the F-16 as a way to combat Russian air superiority. Denmark and the Netherlands have both pledged to contribute some of their jets, with President Vladimir Zelensky putting the total number at 42. The first Ukrainian pilots training in the West finished their classes in the UK in December. The way the US-made jet is designed means it might have difficulties operating from Ukrainian runways, sparking speculation that they could be flown from Poland, Romania or the Baltic states instead. Russia has repeatedly warned such a deployment would be an escalation of the conflict and may even risk nuclear war, as the F-16 is capable of delivering B61 gravity bombs. “So, if one of those planes takes off from a NATO nation – what would that be? An attack on Russia. I shall not describe what could happen next,” Dmitry Medvedev, former Russian president and deputy head of Russia’s National Security Council, said in an interview on Thursday.
