Interesting news Item this morning was the fact that a British reporter reporting about Ukrainian casualties was not allowed to say how many Ukrainians were killed , so he could not say how many Ukrainians were killed but he was happy to repeat how many Russians were killed by the Ukrainian using Ukrainian sources. This is what they did during Malvinas war.

News really has turned into shit.

Don’t you mean the Malvinas war.

A life? Tis you that spends it in here. You’re normally so careful not to use the “F” word though

If it’s the British Bullshit Corporation article from Bakhmut - the one you can’t work out how to get the link to - they do say, if you actually read it, that none of the figures mentioned have been independently verified.

I take casualty claims from both sides with a hefty pinch of salt. There seems little doubt it’s been a very bloody 7 months there though.

The whole point of all this is the fact that if the fuckin yanks did not poke their nose into the joint this was would never taken place.

I fear for Taiwan next. They may be the next sacrificial lamb for the yanks interests. All they need to do is announce they are joining Aukus thingy and all hell will break loose there too. The Americans can then sell a lot of weapons to them too and then watch them get slaughtered.

Very nice, aren't the yanks nice people?

We all seen these images by now and still it is claimed that the Russian Jet had struck the propeller on the drone to cause one blade to bend and causing it to crash into the Black Sea.

Now, this has to be the biggest bollocks of an explanation by the Americans that the Russian jet physically made contact with the drone’s propeller. It is physically not possible for that to happen since the propeller on the drone is protected from all sides by objects extending further out than the propeller, like the stabilizers at the aft of the drone.

What is more likely to have happened was that the thrust from the Russian jet engines forced one of the stabilizer (most likely the top right stabilizer) to break off towards the propeller and making contact, hence bending a propeller blade. It was also stated that this bent propeller caused the drone to fall into the sea, which is another bunch of bollocks.

A missing stabilizer at the aft on the drone would have caused the drone to fall out of the sky and not a bent propeller . The fuel spray from the Russian jets was more than likely to clog up the air intake valves to make the engine stop running on the drone, so to crash land into the sea or glide back to home base, which did not seem to have worked, but was a good idea all the same.

Perhaps I’m missing something here but can’t see what all the fuss is about.

These things have been flying Black Sea missions for months. They even pop up on Flightradar24 now and again. Not just recently though.

They’re drones, gathering Intel on Russian activities for Ukraine in a war. International airspace or not, a legitimate target, surely?

IIRC, not too long ago a Russian fighter “accidentally” dropped a weapon off its wing quite close to a manned RAF RC135 Intel gathering aircraft. Bringing something like that down would have more significant consequences of course.

Bullshitting is spreading. Very interesting headline. Says it all really.

Ukraine won't forget who backed us - foreign minister

Ukraine's foreign minister tells the BBC nations that don't back Ukraine will be held to account.

Wow we are shaking in our boots.
