If there's one thing I'm learning from this war's combat footage is that VVS has taken over.Mi-28 down, rocket hit severing it's spine:

I wonder for how long that farce will be touted as an undeniable truth.
I know India has been reliant on Russian weaponry. There are too many jokes to make and I have to run errands.India is not fully committed to either side of the war: The world's largest democracy has become more aligned with the U.S. in recent years, but relies on Russian weapons and oil and has yet to embrace Western sanctions.

In an interview with Morning Edition's Steve Inskeep, Nuland acknowledges that the situation is complicated, especially since nearly all of India's ground force uses Russian weaponry. That dependence on Russia puts India in an awkward position, as the war in Ukraine and international backlash continue.
"I think they are quite uncomfortable, particularly as they see how Russian weapons have performed and the fact that they're likely not going to be a very reliable supplier going forward," Nuland says. "For a long time the U.S. was not willing to supply weapons to India ourselves, so now that has changed and now we are talking about how we help them make that transition."
While India has long been friendly with Russia (and the Soviet Union before that), Nuland says U.S. officials are emphasizing that Russia is increasingly aligned with China — meaning that if India were to come into conflict with China, it can't count on having Russia in its corner.

The term "whiney bitch" is a forum exclusive (like Joe's Caidinism), use it freely and as often as needed!Hope you haven't trademarked the "whiny bitch" comment because I used it at #3419. It's the most apt description of how Putin and his cronies react whenever anyone disagrees with them. Such childish temper tantrums....but with nukes in the background.

That's funny. I have a soft cover book at home about the P-38 titled "the fork tailed devil." Where did that name come from, and what did the Germans call it?ww2aircraft.net
