Ukraine says it struck one of Russia's most advanced warplanes
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’m just saying this feels like a “who watches the watchmen” type of deal. You’re like the biggest power user on this website and I see you bickering with people in the comments of every post with more than 30 replies.
That’s kind of a poor response, no? You’re happy to contribute more written material than Stephen King on a good day but you don’t want to talk about your tendency to pick fights?
No, I am not interested in the fight you are trying to pick with me.
