I would say bombing military bases that have been used to attack Ukraine is fair game

Absolutely. WTF do Russia expect as Ukraine comes closer to it's own "borders". It makes perfect military sense to attack the opposition in "there own space".
Would any of us expect our own army to do any different ? I think not, so why wouldn't the Ukrainians.

Slight issue is if they're using Western weapons to do it..

Damn, attacks in to russia are an escalation... how on earth did that happen... Must be a pilot error or some kind of rebel soldier surely.

They've carried out attacks into Russia (both Crimea and Russia proper) at various times, granted they've previously been a bit closer to the border but still.

The slight worry is why this attack now and why against those TU-22M planes...

On one hand - new drones, because they can, because those aircraft have been involved in conventional attacks recently etc..

On the other hand, well if the US/UK etc.. were to get intelligence re: plans to say use a tactical nuke perhaps fired from a cruise missile from a bomber then it might be prudent to try and attack the facility/aircraft due to use one thus the slightly unusual missing further into Russian territory.

I hope it's just the former, the Ukrainians have developed better capability to hit further into Russia.

Well i'm sure there are many reasons, but one of them has to be 'Your bombers aren't safe anymore'.
 
They shouldn't attack Russian soil at this stage this is asking for complete "trouble"
Need to be wound in a bit as sick as that sounds.

I could be getting my maths very wrong... never been my strong point, but am I right in thinking you'd require 867 tablets to get the recommended doseage (130mg every 24hr) to protect against radioactive Iodine?

Yes, you are right. Those tablets only contain 150 micrograms each not milligrams and an adult would need 130 milligrams a day according to the CDC.
 
The Tom Clancy in me says Ukraine received credible and actionable intelligence from Western sources that Russia was about to deploy a flight of nuclear armed Backfires from that airbase and Ukraine destroyed them on the ramp. Just need Zelenskyy to troll Putin now by ringing him every hour on the hour to sing "We know what you're doing. We know what you're doing."
