Where will comedy boy be in 5 years? Ukraine? LOL. He's Hollywood bound baby! Will he face the pain he's a facilitating along with poopy? Yeah, lol. From Hollywood. "Damn shame about that whole corruption thing over there, he'll say." But them's the breaks. I got mine. Call my agent!
Oopsie-daisy!!! "Russian air-defense troops apparently shot down a high-tech fighter-bomber over eastern Ukraine on Sunday." "Just one problem: it was a Russian fighter-bomber." https://www.forbes.com/sites/davida...as-one-of-their-most-precise/?sh=5bcfb7a67c41
Well on the bright side -- the Russian air-defense troops were finally able to get some of their surface-to-air missiles to work.
I kinda hope that Ukraine takes out Crimea bridge, soon afterwards Kyiv’s Rada will be wiped out with all the rusty crappy weaponry that Russia has.
That's 76? Leaves plenty of time to be funny and spend money long after he gets the hell out of Dodge. Hollywood types are gonna eat him up with a spoon. Think about the late night comedy / "politics" drivel, the "acting like the president" shows, news commentary shows. They gonna think this is the best thing since electric toiletpaper. We'll see...
Ukraine Preparing to Target Russia's Black Sea Fleet With Western Weapons https://www.newsweek.com/ukraine-preparing-target-russias-black-sea-fleet-western-weapons-1726057
Regular viewers may know that I am sort of a "bridge guy" as far as analyzing the situation in eastern Ukraine. That is to say, I don;t see the Ukrainians being able to go on the offensive until they can somehow- with troops, missiles, planes, sabotage, whatever, get behind the Ruskie troops and cut off the rail lines supplying them. And by cutting off the bridges, it would/will leave the Russians- already struggling to resupply- trapped like rats down in the southern part of the east. Well, the months are going by and I guess the "somehow" is starting to look like HIMARS. Looks like they have just damaged- although still standing and functional- one of the bridges but it is the right idea and MORE TO COME, hopefully. The ruskies are not naive here and obviously were set up with air defense to intercept the HIMARS. But it is equally true, that some got through. Take those frigging bridges out. There are only about two, maybe three. And all of those ammo dumps that have and are being blown up need to be restocked by crossing over the aforementioned bridges and rail lines. Meanwhile, the Russians are scrambling bigtime to protect the big bridge connecting to Crimea. Not sure how they are going to do that but it divides their attention a bit and that is a good thing. I don't think you can reach that with HIMAR but the Russians know that if NATO ever has to get involved, that bridge is gone the next day. Ukrainian forces strike key bridge in Russia-occupied south KYIV, Ukraine -- Ukrainian forces have struck and seriously damaged a bridge that is key for supplying Russian troops in southern Ukraine, a regional official said Wednesday. Kirill Stremousov, deputy head of the Moscow-backed temporary administration for the Russia-controlled southern Kherson region, said the Ukrainian military struck the bridge across the Dnipro River with missiles Wednesday, scoring 11 hits. He said in remarks carried by the Interfax news agency that the bridge sustained serious damage but it wasn't closed for traffic. Stremousov said that the Ukrainian forces used the U.S.-supplied HIMARS multiple rocket launchers to strike the bridge, adding that some of them were intercepted by Russian air defenses. Wednesday's shelling of the Antonivskyi Bridge was the second in as many days. It was lightly damaged by Ukrainian shelling a day earlier, according to the Moscow-backed authorities in Kherson. Early in the war, Russian troops quickly overtook the Kherson region just north of the Crimean Peninsula that Russia annexed in 2014. They have faced Ukrainian counterattacks, but have largely held their ground. The 1.4-kilometer (0.9-mile) bridge is the main one across the Dnieper River, and if it's made unusable it would be hard for the Russian military to keep supplying its forces in the region amid repeated Ukrainian attacks. The British Defense Ministry said Wednesday that the bridge was likely still usable after the Ukrainian strikes, but it is a "key vulnerability for Russian Forces,.” “It is one of only two road crossing points over the Dnieper by which Russia can supply or withdraw its forces in the territory it has occupied west of the river,” it added. “Control of Dnieper crossings is likely to become a key factor in the outcome of fighting in the region.” https://abcnews.go.com/Internationa...ike-key-bridge-russia-occupied-south-87106730
TreeFrog, the problem is, missiles are too puny to seriously damage a bridge. The videos from the Antonov bridge show holes about 10-15 feet in diameter. Those can be repaired quickly. You need something heavier. So if the HIMARS can take out the Russian PVO and PRO (anti-air) systems defending those bridges then maybe bombers can get to them.
