Ukrainian Airforce

Have the Ukrainian airforce been destroyed. Do the Ukrainians have drones to help target the 40 mile convoy of trucks .

Over years we have been watching on tv now targeted missiles take out individual enemy. Why has a missile not taken out the Kremlin when they know Putin is there. Can't see anyone taking up the job then. Johnson and Biden are weak leaders.
Do we wait till a Western city is wiped out before we act!
Hit first and hit hard.

Hmm I think that would be rather counter productive even assuming it was that simple.
We should not assume it’s just Putin

If you launch a missile attack on the Kremlin there would be massive - even nuclear - retaliation.

What do you think the response would be if Russia bombed the White House or Downing Street?

PS - how do you know where Putin is?

[ichkeria]

Yep that’s right Davebro

On the subject of airforces, Ukraine air defence just shot down a Su-30

What I understood late last night is that the sheer number of tanks and very heavy logistic lorries are stuck in the mud.

They have the tanks churning up the road into a mud bath, plus some breaking down. Because they are travelling in this tight convoy it only takes one to create a blockage.

Hence why they are not moving. We all know what happens on a UK motorway if there is an accident, it can take hours to clear.

Even if tanks can get through the mud the logistic lorries will struggle and block the tanks. Big mistake in my view for all these to travel in one big line. At least I hope it was!!!!

^^^ You could pray for 10 foot of snow to now fall upon them. :)

There’s a fake photo of a burning Russian fuel train which turns out to be an old Polish train crash.
I try to stick to defence ministry announcements

Good example of Putin trying to get support from the population. That's why he keeps calling for peace talks to show all that he's trying to make peace, when in fact he just wants to keep murdering people.

Hitler did the same painting, its not me but them.

Its all smoke and mirrors. The convoy is going so slowly because they don't want it to reach kyiv. It's there as a threat to try and pressure the ukranian government to give up before it gets there. The convoy vehicles will be virtually empty as they don't want to commit a large amount of troops.

As for the Wagner group again its propaganda. Why send them in after the invasion when the ukranian president is hidden away under heavy guard. They could have gone in on the first day and assassinated him when they weren't expecting it.

[ichkeria]

The thing is: the WERE expecting it for several months.

According to Ukrainian defence sources it was a detachment of Ramzan Kadyrov’s Chechen “kadyrovtsi”, apparently in a change of plan, but they were killed or captured. A large tank convoy of his was eliminated on Saturday night.
