How to hold Russia’s propagandists accountable

Missing finnish 60+ F-18C/Ds ...and classifying Mig-29 as 4th gen fighter is rather hmm... optimistic.

Out of context -- ten yards and the loss of down.

I wonder if the US military industrial complex called up USSOW Hegseth and said we're at risk of missing out on the biggest bonanza of military spending since GW2.

Ahh. I had forgotten Finland was close by and I agree with you.
I have long expected Ukraine to let a swarm of drones off a disposable ship near to Vladivostok to destroy an oil refinery there so that Putin gets the message that no part of Russia is beyond Ukrainian ingenuity and your idea of using the submarine in that area would work just as well. Both together would really shock the Russians.

I would suggest that he is on his own side, whilst his people are on the side of Ukraine and the West.Tangentially related - who's side is Orbán on?
‘So what?’ Orbán says spy drone incursion into Ukraine was no big deal.
Hungarian PM says “Ukraine is not an independent country” while advising Kyiv to pay more attention to its eastern border.

Just a thought on this. The UK has tomahawk cruise missiles and fairly recently ordered new ones which would imply that we may well have some older ones reaching the end of their life. It could be possible for Ukraine to get authority to launch the deep strikes but to get the older versions from the UK.

Wasn't one of the reasons for the (now expired) arms agreement against land attack cruise missions that the targeted country cannot tell if they are nuclear or conventional, and thus must choose the worst case scenario and react accordingly? If Ukraine launches a TLAM against the Kremlin, how is Russia to know it's not a nuclear-tipped decapitation strike?

A good point, but the same argument can be applied to any cruise missile. This is because a nuclear warhead can be very small, and weigh as little as 40 to 50 pounds.
Tomahawks have been used multiple times and the UK weapons are not nuclear.

Oh no...the Russians *might* escalate if American cruise missiles are deployed by Ukraine.
For the love of God, which is the keyword for the drinking game, Nukes or Escalate?

The M2/3 Bradley is over 30 years old and so is the F-16...

Reading is fundamental. Go look at my original point. It was about how Cessnas penetrating air-defenses 35 years ago is not relevant in this discussion. It was not about any aged gear that still finds use in the battlespace. Christ, people.

I hope this lives up to the hype.

In less than two years so will the F-22. Here's its first flight in 1997. Time's a relentless bitch.

Do I hear the first sounds of retreat?
US Special Envoy Keith Kellogg says that his previous comments about the possible transfer of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine do not reflect internal decisions in Washington. He stresses that the use of these missiles could significantly change the course of the war, The Guardian reports.
Speaking at the Warsaw Security Forum, Kellogg stresses that he was only referring to public statements about providing Ukraine with Tomahawk missiles and had no inside information about the process or the final decision.
