Be interesting to know if Russia decided not to send fighters to intercept the MiGs due to not knowing what took out the Su-34s, or if the Russian pilots straight up refused to go. Understandable either way as anything that can reliably shoot down Su-34s can reliably shoot down anything in Russia's (or NATO's) inventory.

Wouldn't say that's true. The Su-34 is a good plane, not far behind the latest block F-16s or Typhoons, but those planes aren't the F-22, F-35 or Su-57 when it comes to entering contested airspace.

Seems odd that Ukraine would send MiG 29s to do bombing, but then I guess they felt their Su-25 would be MANPAD fodder and they couldn't risk using their Su-24s as they need them to launch storm shadows.

I think like a lot of things both sides have done in this war, it was probably done for morale or propaganda reasons. A bombing run by 1 or 2 MiG-29s isn't going to do very much on it's own.
 
As much as I dislike the guy, he seems to be on the right side of this one, taken a while but seems the right noises are being made. I seem to remember recent articles with completely misleading headlines.

Wouldn't surprise me one little bit if the Satan-2 was almost empty inside it :cry:

One of Vladimir Putin's top generals in charge of Russia's "Satan-2" nuclear weapons has been arrested.

Lieutenant General Oleg Frolov, 61, was charged along with two other alleged co-conspirators.

Frolov, who is the deputy director of the Russian space agency Roscosmos, has been accused of stealing £4 million from the Russian state.



The Russian Investigative Committee said in a statement: "Frolov used his office to conspire with two other co-participants in the crime.

"During the performance of a contract, they stole at least 435 million roubles of public funds intended for the purchase of equipment."

Frolov and his co-conspirators could face up to 10 years in prison if they are convicted.

The general was also involved in Putin's hypersonic weapons agency, which produced the "meteorite" nuclear-capable hypersonic missile Avangard. The weapon can reportedly target at 27 times the speed of sound.

Do you wonder why Ukraine releases a constant flood of drone videos of dropping grenades on wounded russian soldiers etc???

I think you have to be pretty special to not understand this is a 2 way propaganda/morale street.

Shush, don't point that out!

This war is disgusting with both sides posting 4k videos at people at their most vulnerable and desperate. And maybe it's just western bias but overwhelmingly it's been Ukrainians posting.

Lots of terribly sick people out there.
 
The videos obviously have a purpose. You can see that because the videos are posted with captions like:

"How is invasion going?"

"He should have stayed in Russia"

Like how only Putin has so far been the only candidate to have managed to fill a form out.

100 mistakes!! How can you run a country with that many mistakes on a form, ditto the rest who can't.

Not to mention, we now start to see pictures of Russian infantry after they try to charge across a field only to meet 25mm bushmaster rounds from a m2 Bradley

As you can imagine it's gory as ****

I'm guessing here, but i think his point is that sitting in front of a pc LOLing at videos of people being killed is pretty poor behaviour. Comparing notes with others about favourites is downright vulgar.

And complaining when one sees a ukrainian dying in pain is missing the point.

See post 80,136 above for an example of utter heartlessness. Those are people, being killed. However, it's just entertainmemt for this poster.

Yes and he's saying it's mostly Ukrainian/western videos, laughing, whatever it is.

Which it most certainly is not, which I was correcting the Putin bot on with his statement.

Society became hooked on morbid voyeurism a long time ago.

Exploitation on the internet? The morality of watching death online

Reddit’s r/WatchPeopleDie sees 425,000 subscribers share clips of horrific and tragic deaths. Since when did so many of us like watching death?
theguardian.com theguardian.com

I’m not sure why it features so highly in people assessment of the morality of the war. Unless it’s to deflect from the fundamentals of what’s happened.

Namely the unprovoked invasion by Russia. Which is the root cause of all the loss of life.
