Oh no.. anyway.
Was it by a russian missile ?
Wait, is this Putin awarding himself a medal?
Not at all awkward
No. He had too many Ukrainian spuds.Was it by a russian missile ?
Not at all awkward
I suspect this air strikes as more about getting news agenda away from the Ukrainian counter offensive then any real tactical or strategic importance.Latest reports seem to suggest at least 10 TU-95s with fighter escort and/or other fighters or bombers also with missiles. As touched on above though these strikes are really kind of pathetic - even small scale Western ones have been like 80 missiles.
If Putin thought, sod it and tach nuked all the supplied kit, how would the west respond?
With the line crossed would anyone really risk escalating to all out nuclear war, if he used a tach weapon then surely if backed into a corner he’d go scorched earth.
Didnt Biden already take a nuclear response off the table, as did Macron and boots in Ukraine is also a no no.
It is an interesting question.
IMO there is a fairly high chance in that situation the US would attempt to headshot the Russian government but that is rolling the dice on WW3/MAD if it doesn't succeed. The US has given Russia some fairly blunt reminders as to the consequences of the use of nuclear weapons but how much is bite vs bark and/or what they'd actually do in that situation is another question.

I'm not sure why the comparison really?Latest reports seem to suggest at least 10 TU-95s with fighter escort and/or other fighters or bombers also with missiles. As touched on above though these strikes are really kind of pathetic - even small scale Western ones have been like 80 missiles.
No it is not, read my post again, I explained quite clearly the misunderstanding he had made.Yeah. It is.
Another leopard has been lost, this one is a bit cheaper than the others though
In fairness, we only know how many missiles are making it to Ukraine. Maybe they are going for 100+ shock and awe launches but the damn things keep just dropping off the pylons into the sea when they try to fire themLatest reports seem to suggest at least 10 TU-95s with fighter escort and/or other fighters or bombers also with missiles.
