Feek is suddenly feeling like he's missed the chance for a "joke" and can't work out why.

Seems a strange move, Belarus is probably much safer to keep equipment given Ukraine likely won't send drones there because it would give Lukashenka reason to involve Belarus militarily going beyond just hosting Russians
Possibly worried about what Belarussian partisans/dissidents will do to them, iirc they've got some unrest in regards to how their leaders have been helping Russia and have had some incidents involving the the likes of rail routes Russia is using to move supplies.

Reckon Russia goes for Kharkiv soon?
The dry summer season is almost over. Looks like the best Ukrainian army can hope for this year is enlarging and fortifying the Robotyno foothold - if they are able to deploy artillery and rocket artillery there, it can hit a lot of juicy targets in the russian back end.

Nope.
Define soon?
2067? Maybe, depending on NATO membership ofc.
They seem to be pulling unites from Belarus to send to Ukraine to help hold the line, they are approaching spent without full mobo.
Even the fighter jets now have cope tyres
I wonder how much that affects this su-34's aerodynamics
The worst thing about this, is that they have effectively covered the plane in cups, ensuring any grenades dropped by drones don't bounce off.
This is a level of stupidity so stupid it's existence actually hurts my mind to the point I want to believe the pilots are doing it to try and get their planes blown up so they don't have to risk being shot down lol.
NB: I know it's pedantic but for reference the Su-34 isn't a fighter it's a strike aircraft (similar to the F-111 or Tornado IDS). A lot of sites (inc Wikipedia depending on the day of the week) make that error as it looks so much like an Su-27 but that's because the USSR couldn't afford to develop a replacement for the Su-24 so instead made an enlarged Su-27 airframe and installed Su-24 kit in it. It has been updated since then, but to be clear it isn't going to win a fight against any fighter made after 1970.

They've got my hopes up too many times to believe it.
That or they know how well maintained they are.
They tried twice in the opening stages of the war and got their arses handed to them... that said the Ukrainian forces who were involved in that fighting are now deployed elsewhere and/or sadly lost some of their best since.
