MODERATORS
Will they be able to get 3 working ones from these wrecks though? If they were in good condition, they'd still be using them.
Eh. They have range issues IIRC. They'll mostly be good for interception.
If they've already had their most advanced pieces of hardware pulled out, its doubtful. Nevermind finding someone to actually pilot the damned things.
What Ukraine needs more than anything right now is more young professionals capable of operating the hardware of war. What they're getting is a military garage sale.
If nothing else, these can parts and trainers . That's pretty important.
Ukraine has stated they need 150-200 of them and I believe this commitment plus those from Denmark and the Netherlands will get them near 100.
200? do they plan to no-fly-zone the whole of Russia?
Not all of them will fly at the same time.
Some will be unavailable for various repairs, some will be too far from the interception target to get in time, some will inevitably destroyed from time to time. 200 isn't that far fetched.
They can only carry a few missiles at a time, ukraine is huge, and some will inevitably get shot down.
200 sounds about right.
Factor in service rotations too and it makes even more sense
Fuck russia
To be more precise, fuck the current Russian government. Its not like all Russians are evil, they just happen to be born in a country with oppressive governments for the past... 2000 years or so?
I mean, past 1800 AD or so they were all degrees of shit everywhere agriculturalised. I don't have any reason to expect Feodor I was noticeably worse than Elizabeth I.
Serfdom proves otherwise, but it's not like it was a whole different ballgame.
Have you seen russian first aid? (Nsfl)
Russians are, lets say unique. Always has been. There are attitudes in the Russian population that are cultural conflicting with peaceful societies. Dont excuse this campaign by blaming it on one individual. He has support.
Sorry, I call bs on that.
Take what you write and change "Russians" for "Jews", add in some video of a single Jewish person doing something horrible, and tadaaaaahhh, the propaganda writes itself. Want to repeat that with gays, perhaps? Or Blacks? No? Heo about Palestinians?
What you're doing right now, demonizing an entire population because of its leadership, is the same racist shit that had been used for centuries to get rid of the unlikables, the unwanted. Its cheap, its ugly, it's sad.
Don't do this, please.
People might pick a nit about the other two, but this is literally what anti-Palestianian comments look like right now. Just swap in October 7 footage or something.
The conclusion is always the same, and pretty heavily ironic in that case given the origins of Israel itself.
Oh I know. I was more talking in relation to what the guy above said. Just another example
Absolutely brainwashed.
According to polls, majority supports special operation, Putin and plenty still enlists to army 🤷♂️
Like 20% of the population will always support whoever is in power, another 10% will unless everyone is actively dying where they live, and then 30%-40% don't care enough about politics to do wrongspeak. I don't know what poll you're looking at, but any additional percent is probably related to who's doing the polling. Maybe 2% is there that actually supports it out of genuine independent thought, and even that I doubt because it's just an objectively stupid war.
TL;DR we're all just humans, and your countrymen would too in the same situation.
You mean like the Russian elections where really 80+% votes for Putin and totally not because they are standing next to a window? Uh huh, sure, uh huh
