I always said The last 30 years have been an illusion, China and Russia are always the enemy no matter what.
Operation Dessert Storm.
Battle of the Bulge
Back in WW2 617 squadron drop things like this on the Mohne and Edersee dams. That Barnes Wallice was a damn clever fellow.Ukrainian snipers shouldn’t have too much trouble getting Putin’s new general in charge
Russia in debt default as payment deadline passes
The country fails to make $100m interest payment due to sanctions and is reported to be in default.

Erdogan's insane monetary policies is already harming Turkey's economy to the extent that joining sanctions probably would kill it outright, so he's either proven he knows his policy is dumb or they think the value of playing both sides is worth more than being able to shift the blame to Western pressure for his own economic malice.
It seems that the incoming Surface to Air Missile System for Ukraine is the Norwegian NASAMS.

This Advanced Surface to Air Missile System NASAMS is used by several countries like Norway, Finland, Lithuania and by the United States to protect the airspace around the White House and the Congress in Washington.

Rocky times ahead for Russia, as the sanctions bite hard: 'Sanctions drive Russia to first foreign debt default since 1918.'
Two payments missed already. Many more to come. You love to see it!
Classic Turkey. Wants all the benefits of Europe with none of the responsibilities.

It is all a bit silly though isn't it. They can't make the payments despite having the cash and being willing to pay...

I remember during the 2008 war between Russia and Georgia that Georgia was in possession of a brand shiny new Rafael SPYDER air defence system that they’d just had delivered from Israel, so new infact that the Georgians had nobody trained to operate it at that point, and possibly hadn’t even take delivery of any live Python and Derby missiles for it yet. However, when the Georgians fired up the SPYDER’s fire control radar for the first time, and the Russian’s radar warning receivers caught a sniff of it, they **** bricks, cleared the air space around Tbilisi and stayed out of it for the rest of the war, despite the fact that they’d been running rampant, almost completely unchallenged up to that point.
The Russian Airforce really seem to struggle with SEAD/DEAD, even against systems developed during Soviet times like Buk, Tor and S-300 that they should be more than familiar with and know how to defeat, so facing something unknown to them like NASAMS or SPYDER for instance must have a big fear factor for them.

Economic warfare, they should have realised there would be consequences for invading your neighbour.
Right...but this is distinctly a "hurt us more than it hurts them" moment. Everyone can transparently see it was artificial reasons behind the failure to pay...

It is very odd, isn't it?
When you consider many countries still actively trade commodities with Russia, it looks even stranger.
To be fair, this does significant damage to russia's long-term economic prospects. It is the equivalent of an old CCJ when you are trying gti get a mortgage five years later.
