Popular Post Bkk Brian Posted May 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2023 Interesting, it is possible to assume that Patriot air defense missile was involved in recent string of air crashes in the Bryansk region. Defense officials and congressional staffers told CNN that Ukrainian troops have in recent weeks used the US-made Patriot air defense system to shoot down at least one faraway Russian fighter jet. The Russian jets have largely been staying behind Russian defensive lines, making them difficult for Ukraine to target with shorter-range systems like NASAMs. The Russian planes the Patriot targeted were on a bombing run to fire missiles against Ukrainian targets, US officials said, which Russia has been doing throughout the past year to maximize civilian casualties. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/05/18/politics/us-allies-f-16-jets-ukraine/index.html 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modi is doing Putin a favour by buying his oil as the money is fuelling Putin's economy and war. Russia has defaulted of its defence contracts with India and the equipment it has sold so far is second-rate and not up to world standards. Modi is part of the West's Quad to curtail China and Modi is forming alliances in trade etc with other democratic countries. He is in Australia at the moment signing up for a closer alliance there. He will not jeopardize his standing with the West to help Putin. Edited May 23, 2023 by LosLobo 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bkk Brian Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Wagner boss ranting again, don't know how much to believe of what he say's but who knows. Prigozhin says war in Ukraine has backfired, warns of Russian revolution RIGA, Latvia — Fresh off his claim of victory in capturing the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut, Russian mercenary boss Yevgeniy Prigozhin warned that Moscow’s brutal war could plunge Russia into turmoil similar to the 1917 revolution unless its detached, wealthy elite become more directly committed to the conflict. In a lengthy interview with Konstantin Dolgov, a political operative and pro-war blogger, Prigozhin, the founder and leader of the Wagner mercenary group, also asserted that the war had backfired spectacularly by failing to “demilitarize” Ukraine, one of President Vladimir Putin’s stated aims of the invasion. He also called for totalitarian policies. “Russia needs to live like North Korea for a few years, so to say, close the borders … and work hard.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/05/24/yevgeniy-prigozhin-war-backfired-revolution/ archive link 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
