This is the type of practical important if 'non sexy' aid that will really matter. There can be little doubt that both sides are going to have a very difficult winter as both sides have the ability to seriously damage the others infrastructure. The difference is going to be who can handle it.

They probably mean that if they can find enough parts to make some of their rusty "maintenance free" nukes operational they will use them.

Putin is waving the "nuke" threat around again.
He uses various excuses to threaten everyone (like a typical schoolyard bully) but he has been warned that if he deploys any form of nuclear weapon, he will immediately get his ass nuked within minutes.

Related story. I strongly suspect that Ukraine has solved this problem using much lower cost and more available hardware.

Yeah can't say Russia would be more than sand if the missiles even got out of their tubes.

Nice to see but Ukraine must be annoyed as they usually cripple tankers without creating pollution.

It has 6 main deviations from the truth...
My respect for Oliver Stone dropped from a decent to below B-class.
Being on the Vladimir Putin's playbook was possibly a good idea back then ?

It has a lot of data I did know at all....like the hard line german collaboration.
Someone opened his mouth on this:
An open letter to Oliver Stone
In December 2014, the American film director Oliver Stone interviewed the former president of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych; and then argued that events on the Maidan last winter were the product of CIA involvement. Historian Stephen Velychenko responds.

At least one Iranian F-14 was shoot down by Iraqi MiG-23MLs, but I wouldn't consider that a fair combat. The Iranian F-14 was attempting to defect to Iraq and was mistakenly shot down by a pair of Iraqi MiG-23MLs. The Iraqi pilots were not aware the aircraft was defecting; they locked onto it and fired an R-24T missile, which destroyed the Tomcat.

A few other Iranian F-14 loses have been attributed to Iraqi MiG-23, but as far as I know not confirmed. Confirmed Iranian Tomcat losses in fair combat came from specialized tactical traps or encounters with French-built Iraqi Mirage F1s.
Pilot: Major Ahmad Moradi Talemi
RIO: 1Lt. Hassan Najafi
Talemi was eliminated by operatives from Unit 6, Army Counterontelligence Command, in Swiss.
1Lt. Najafi refused to cooperate with Iraqis, taken as POW, freed on 1993. He passed away afew years ago.
