You love to see it!

:cool:

Them and the Poles.
 
I wonder if the girl they've arrested over the killing was actually involved or just an innocent pawn. Sort of suspect the latter tbh.

At best, she has some awkward questions to answer. She's anti-war, and has protested against Putin's invasion of Ukraine. So why was she attending an event for a pro-war blogger, and what was the purpose of presenting him with a statuette? Where did it come from?
 
First of all it's very likely that it was one of the many criminal Russian elements that is indistinguishable from the government and it's businesses. Secondly it's war... hope you don't think we behaved well during ours.

I'm sorry but I don't agree with blowing up people in cafes full stop. Aside from the angle of "murder is wrong ", I would also not put it past the ******* Russians to go a new round of tit for tat and dish put polonium tea.

I know nothing about the man or if he is a prolific killer himself or whatever controversy there is around him, I just so not agree with killing people like that.

A Russian in a trench is fair game...

It seems to me that if your country is invaded, assassinating the enemy is fair game (although it's not actually clear this was carried out by Ukraine anyway). But I'm not so sure about killing everyone in the audience or the café staff.

Russia has quite literally blown up entire cities full of cafes.

I would hope we all agree that Russian moral depravity should not be considered a good ethical guide.

So when the Russians decide that the free press on our side are the enemy because we have caused the death of their people and blow up a few journalists it's fair?

Again I'm ignorant currently about this man and will read up on him later. If its just a case of him writing some **** to be lapped up, I'd have a distaste but still wouldn't reckon its worthy of being murdered with 34 other people injured....

I think what your not getting is the Russians lie, constantly.
And they have in the past murdered their own citizens in order to trigger a false flag attack.

Dont believe anything they say.

Its just as likely someone in the Kremlin decided that fella needed to stop. The fact innocent civilians could get caught up would be deemed irrelevant to them.

Until someone trustworthy claims this I would simply assume the Russians did it.

You're ignorant, like you said.

"Unlike many other Russian military bloggers and state media journalists in Ukraine, Tatarsky took up arms in combat operations." (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-65155075)

I'd say that makes him fair game.

Most sources seem to be suggesting it was an inside job within Russia rather than Ukraine organising it, he was allegedly pretty vocal against Putin.
Would make sense TBH, back in '99 a bunch of Russian apartments were blown up by Chechen terrorists using non-common/highly guarded Russian explosives which resulted in the invasion of Chechnya and Putin becoming president (but it was totally not a false flag attack ofc).

Wouldn't surprise me if this act of terrorism carried out by a "pro-Nevelny Ukraine sympathiser" also had a more plausible alternate explanation.
 
Russia claims it will station 12 divisions on the border of Finland



Personally I call BS on this, because since the war has been going on Russias existing defences have been dropping rapidly as it sends units to Ukraine - so there is currently very little to no defence along the Finish border at present (as shown by western satellites). And yet Russia now claims it's going to station over 100k soldiers on the border.. like yeah sure mate take another swiggle of the vodka

Integrating NATO ordinance in to ex-Soviet aircraft is no trivial task. There is a huge about of data transfer between the weapon and the aircraft's systems. Yes, once launched a lot of these weapons are fire-and-forget but up until that point, all the target acquisition and designation is done by the aircraft's systems. You'd be looking at either replacing large sections of the weapons systems and avionics, or piggy backing a bunch of stuff on to the existing systems. Then you have issues such as interfacing with the Russian radar and IR systems, control and integration of a TILDS etc.
IIRC they managed to get HARMs working on the MiG-29 and Su-27 by tricking the aircraft into thinking they were launching Kh-31's (Soviet equivalent). Problem is the Soviet equivalent of the AMRAAM is the R-77 which wasn't completed until the 90's and so Ukraine's planes were never upgraded to use them which means tricking them in a similar way is out of the question, they could try and get the planes thinking they're launching R-27s but it would be quite a stretch :(

Just itching for the chance to even the score after the last war xD
