Ukraine on Sunday said its forces hit an ultra-modern Russian warplane stationed on an air base nearly 600 kilometers (370 miles) from the front lines, after its Western allies allowed Kyiv to use their weapons for limited strikes inside Russia.
Kyiv’s main military intelligence service shared satellite photos it said showed the aftermath of the attack. If confirmed, it would mark Ukraine’s first known successful strike on a Su-57 fighter plane, a twin-engine stealth fighter lauded as Moscow’s most advanced military aircraft.
In one photo, black soot marks and small craters can be seen dotting a concrete strip around the parked aircraft. According to the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense, the strike took place on Saturday at the Akhtubinsk base in southern Russia, some 589 kilometers (366 miles) from the front line.
I mean… Russia is bad. It invaded its neighbor twice, it makes being queer illegal, Putin critics keep “mysteriously” dying, the media is all state-owned meaning it only reports what Putin wants reported, the elections are fraudulent affairs…
But apparently they have fresh bread in supermarkets in Russia. So says Tucker Carlson. So it’s not all bad.
It invaded its neighbor twice
Just out of curiosity, when did westerners started to have a problem with invading other countries? I ask just because of the fact that in the last 100 years you were always either the invader or sided with the invader. And now its all wrong. Could you care to point when this change happened?
Are you saying that because Western countries have done bad things it means that Russia isn’t doing a bad thing when it does it too?
A people and it’s government are two different things. And frequently the government does not give accurate representation of its people’s desires.
But let’s say the USA, because I assume that’s what you are insinuating by westerners, is 100x more evil than all other countries combined. Does that mean the Russian government isn’t bad? Nope. Truth doesn’t change based on the moral character of another separate unrelated entity. Even if that entity is worse and even if that worse entity is the one saying the truth.
So why are you not protesting the ongoing occupation of south korea or japan?
