Ukrainians Shoot Down Su-35
It’s just one plane but Ukrainian forces quickly let the world know that they had shot down one of Russia’s most capable aircraft Sunday. A video and photos posted online Sunday showed an Su-35 diving vertically before pancaking in the Kharkiv region. (www.avweb.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
The proper hardware can work wonders. And since Russia has either floated and overhauled or built new nuclear capable submarines, proper hardware includes assets that can track them, both in the air ot on or under the seas.
Yes. It's called nuclear blackmail and now it is real.
Drill the bastards!
I went into a ring of fire And it burns burns the ring of fire

I read that this aircraft was brought down by a British Starstreak MANPAD which has a 16,000 ft ceiling and Mach 4 top speed. I don't know why Russia hasn't bombed all rail and road links in and out of Poland to prevent these weapons from getting into Ukraine. I really don't understand their strategy.
Trains are travelling freely back and forth to Poland - UK PM Johnson travelled to Kiev on a train. Russia has some high precision missiles that they can use in close proximity to the Polish border so they need to seal-off the border with Poland before any more lethal weapons get in. Boris Johnson promised Zelensky anti-ship Missiles. If any of these missile hit a Russian ship in the Black Sea Putin needs to see that as a direct attack by the UK on Russia since no doubt these UK weapon systems will be manned by UK military advisers. This is not like shipping Ukraine Soviet era weapons they know how to use.
I'm afraid that eventually those of us living in NATO countries will pay a price for arming Ukraine with weapons to kill Russian. The Russian people will never forget this and they can eff us up in all kinds of ways.
