Russia will take years to replace nuclear-capable bomber planes that were hit in Ukrainian drone strikes last weekend, according to Western military aviation experts, straining a modernisation programme that is already delayed.
Satellite photos of airfields in Siberia and Russia’s far north show extensive damage from the attacks, with several aircraft completely burnt out, although there are conflicting versions of the total number destroyed or damaged.
The United States assesses that up to 20 warplanes were hit - around half the number estimated by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy - and around 10 were destroyed, two U.S. officials told Reuters.
No, I just believe that the EU will break the law and attack, like members already did in Libya and Iraq.
I can also say that I was not the one talking about fantasies.
Is there a reason for that? UN article 51 seems to allow support of other countries if they are attacked.
To compare Libya and Iraq to an all out attack on Russia by some imagine combined European pan-national military is just… ugh, too naive for me to even be care about writing a breakdown for.
Enjoy your weekend
For those attacks the size doesn’t matter but the willingness of breaking the law. My size argument is that the USA and China will clash. Europe will engage Russia when that happens.
Thank you for your insightful feedback. Have a great WE, too.
