These attacks are like every other day now, it's going to be a very pianful year for Russia. It's going to be a painful decade in fact.Engels was also attacked
This was a big coordinated attack but the question that people are asking... what air defense doing?
I don't know what they're hoping for, Russia can't do jack about Transnistria. Ukraine or Moldova could invade it and return it to Moldova and all Russia would be able to do is watch. Russia's ability to protect Transnistria relied on Ukraine being friendly and providing them access. Moldova and Ukraine could seal up Transnistria like a box and stop anything getting in or out if they wanted.
Russia only has 55 Tu-95s and 11 Tu-160s. Things are not looking good for their strategicEngels was also attacked

He is the only HT fan here. He identifies with that level of maturity.
He is popular in Russia. The country is at war, and naturally he's gonna be popular. Especially 'cause he is delivering victories. His approval rating was in the 70s before the war.
Lol.
They are still poor and corrupt relatively.
Russia’s air force is hollowing itself out. More air defense can help.
Opinion: NATO can afford to donate more munitions to Ukraine now without worrying about its immediate strategic reserves.www.defensenews.com
Their only choice is to build more. Su-57's currently at 20 a year. And they are producing a number of Su-30SMs, Su-34Ms and Su-35Ss too. That's about 45 jets. Then the Mig-35 line is expected to ramp up. About 100 jets from 2026, I guess 20 each. So it's a long term threat.
Just some mercenaries at best. France isn't prepared to fight Russia after giving the Russians 2 years to build.
Every far right party in Europe got its funding from Russia. E.g. the RN in France had borrowed money from Russian bank Aviazapchast.
Much less so than Russia.
Why do you think Russian stole toilets? Do you think people from a rich country would steal toilets? That wouldn't happen unless they're made out of gold or something.
Sure, on average, Russia can seem wealthier. But averages are tricky if you have an extremely unequal country. Russia's poor are much poorer than Ukraine's poor; and Russia's rich are so much richer than Ukraine's rich. Outside of Moscow and Saint Petersburg, the rest of Russia is poorer than Ukraine.
I blame the Europeans for being weak and dependent.
Russia's stockpiling and arming itself.
They are preparing for a major offensive with a second army.
Americans attacked non-whites after 9/11. They also attacked Asians during the pandemic. This is normal.
NATO chief floats 100-bn-euro fund to arm Ukraine
Brussels, Belgium (AFP) April 2, 2024 - NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg has proposed creating a 100-billion-euro ($108-billion), five-year fund for Ukraine in a push to get the alliance more involved in sending weapons to Kyiv, officials said Tuesday.www.spacewar.com
Five-year fund. Yeah, that will work.
Ukraine’s drone strike destroys 6 aircraft, damages 8 at Russia’s Morozovsk airbase – media
MT Anderson, an OSINT analyst, estimates that the Morozovsk airbase might have had up to 30 Russian aircraft on-site at the moment of the drone assault.
The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), working in tandem with the Ukrainian Defense Forces, orchestrated a drone attack on the Morozovsk airbase, located in Russia’s Rostov Oblast, according to SBU sources cited by Ukrainska Pravda.
The source also mentioned that the Morozovsk airbase served as a crucial hub for Russian air operations, housing Su-24, Su-24M, and Su-34 bombers. These aircraft have been actively used by Russia to target Ukrainian military positions and frontline cities, causing extensive damage and casualties.
According to OSINT analyst MT Anderson, who examined satellite imagery from 4 April, up to 30 aircraft, including 26 Su-34 fighter-bombers and 3 Su-30/35 multirole fighters, were present at the Morozovsk airbase during the recent drone attack.
At night on 5 April, drones attacked several Russian military airfields at once – in Morozovsk, Yeisk, and Engels. Local residents reported dozens of explosions on social media.
The Russian Ministry of Defense stated that air defense shot down over 50 drones.
Some serious swarm power being unleashed over Russia I guess.
Primarily due to their relevance to Russia on social and political lines. It has nothing to do with neo-Nazis.
Conservatives in Europe are more likely to have good relations with Russia.
It has a lot to do with these countries being very small and unable to create world-beating companies for the rich to get richer. Russia gets fat on oil wealth. Overall, I don't see the Balkans doing so much better in comparison even after over 25 years of freedom.

I'd love to see them try, especially with the shortage of landing ships they now have.
Not on the same scale. This happened even before the attack in Russia too.
20 a decade maybe.Their last 'batch' of flankers had two aircraft. In the long run, Russia is f'cked and right now NATO and the current US administration is working on doing an end-run around any potential Trump presidency, so he can't stop weapon supplies to Ukraine even if he gets in.
