March 13, 20233 yr There's a fair bit of ethnic cleansing going on in Russia with an estimated 40 times more eastern Tatars and Kazakhs (both predominantly Muslim) being sent to the frontline and dying than Russki's from the western areas of Moscow and St Petersburg. Add to that clearing out the prisons and it's all starting to look like social engineering on a grand scale.
March 13, 20233 yr Needs an air drop of leaflets. Encourage them to revolt, down "tools" and move to the other side. Fight for their own freedom.
March 15, 20233 yr This Russian pilot downed a US drone by colliding with its propeller and dumping fuel on it.Been watching Maverick Shirley?

March 15, 20233 yr The potential Republican 2024 presidential candidate DeSantis has called the Russian invasion a territorial dispute that is Europe’s concern🙈

March 15, 20233 yr https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/3901925-thune-majority-of-senate-republicans-disagree-with-desantis-on-ukraine/ Not a clear demarcation between parties though.
March 15, 20233 yr I can’t see any US President being brave enough to pull troops out of Europe. Be the next JFK
March 15, 20233 yr DeSantis is a loon, almost as bad as Trump but he got in so fuck knows. Are the folk of Florida so easily led?

Yes , but also remember ha does sound bites, he signs legislation which makes the headlines and makes the numbnuts happy, it then enters the court system and it a lot get thrown out for being unconstitutional, but said numbnuts have get passed the first bit, and never seem to find out that it was all bullshit.

Either way, if Russians were flying drones that close to US airspace you’d expect them to be trying to knowkcnthem out of the sky. Fairs fair.

I kind of think they were thinking "let's see what happens if we try this..." They can be even more reckless than they are normally as its unmanned, but I think the actual impact was pilot error. Clearly trying to douse the drone in dumped fuel and fucked it up. And I've no doubt US pilots especially would be acting the goat as well if roles were reversed.

Not clear on the vid, and the telly sort of suggesting it was just the fuel spraying.

Certainly a poor bit of flying then in putting his own aircraft at risk. I expected the US would release some footage to help prove their case, it really doesn't show the Russians in a very good light at all. They're pretty reckless with manned recon flights as well but this is next level. As our man in the shed says though, it won't lead to an escalation. I'd like to see a photo of the damage done to the Flanker though, for sure
March 16, 20233 yr It's weird. The first section of footage shows the propeller rotating after the fighter has gone with apparently no damage. Then the slow motion bit and indeed a bent one.
