So would we file that under "incompetent Russians can't fly planes" or "evil Russians attack peaceful US drone"

Probably pretend it's no big deal.

But they'll start flying with an escort, I bet.

I can figure perhaps 5, maybe 6. Not bad camo lads.
Am I close? do I get a prize?? :biggrin:

Regarding almost 1 million working age Russians fleeing, From Aljazera: "While nearly 60,000 Russians arrived in Bali last year, roughly 20,000 have been arriving each month since the Kremlin declared a partial mobilisation of military reservists in September, according to figures compiled by Bali’s international airport."

Here, this one will be a little easier for you. How many Russians from the 155th Separate Marine Brigade do you see in this picture?

Yes I believe I read about that engagement, in the South if I recall correctly. An object lesson in the dangers of the modern battlefield and, most important, the huge impact of Western ISR in helping Ukrainians conduct their defense. The sheer number of mines Ukraine has laid in that area was a contributing factor.

But as I've mentioned before - the Russians aren't Supermen and they also make mistakes. Shall I post some vids/pics of the routes out of Bakhmut?

Kind of morose pic but the slaughter of ill equipped and ill trained Russian conscripts is rather sad.
Also rather sad is the continual drivil from the "devils' advocates"
There is a lot of history in Ukraine that is recent. The eastern Russian speaking parts at one time wanted to lean to Russia while the central and western areas of Ukraine wanted to lean west. The governments after 1991 leaned to Russia and after 2014 and the recent election of Zelensky the Ukrainian bent was to the west and joining the EU.
Not sure how much of the eastern parts of Ukraine still want to be aligned with the corrupt Russians but pretty sure the rest of Ukraine would like to align with the west.

As a comeback, that was as weak as sleepy Joe running up the plane stairs lol. Not really worth 5 minutes spent with MS Paint.

Yep, morose indeed, but the loss of Russian life doesn't seem to matter much to some on here. I was careful not to link to the higher resolution picture, because I realize not everyone that frequents this thread is looking at this as if it's a big video game playing out.

The intention was a wake up call, but I suspect it will miss the mark with a couple on here.
