Germany chooses F-35
Various agencies reporting that Germany is now negotiating to purchase F-35s.
Just three years ago Berlin said the type had been rejected from consideration ...

I was literally just giving consideration as to how the Russians behave when their offensive becomes bogged down, utterly barbaric and immoral is probably the most accurate phrase. I was reminded of how they disguised anti-personnel bombs as childrens toys in Afghanistan, well guess what….
Bombs Disguised as Toys Found in Mariupol
Yes I know, it could be Ukrainian PsyOps - in fact I honestly hope it is.

The strike on the base housing foreign fighters just by the Polish border was a rare military and propaganda success for Russia, and showed a measure of intelligence gathering and execution. That said is does beggar belief somewhat that these personnel were housed, apparently en masse, in a base previously used to train the Ukrainians with western weapons, the BBC having reported there some time back.
Hopefully lessons have been learnt and ar5es kicked to ensure this was a one-off.

Of all countries he dealt with - he despised the Russian diplomats the most.
"They lie, lie some more, and just when you think they've finished lying, they'll lie again," he said once.
Described them as absolute brutes underneath it all.

Why dropping under such unfavourable circumstances ? Why wasn't the helo shot down as it would presumably have been flying straight and level for a short period at least, over troops who one would have expected to have manpads;?
Not everybody ther carries a Stinger or equivalent manpad with them, so not every AC gets shot at.
I spilled my coffee over this 'News'.
Can't get ahold of Ukraine with their 100 Fighter Aircraft and 200.000 troops and now wants to take on NATO/Sweden/Finland with 4000 Fighter Aircraft and 3Mio troops.
Not sure it will buff out.

Russia is apparently using the nuclear power station as a base for their equipment, makes sense because the Ukrainians will not attack it for fear of the results.

I wonder if the damaged Su25 was this one purported to be hit by a manpad but continues to drop its ordnance. The damage on that one being towed reminds me of the Jag in the Gulf War.

Even I can spot a fake, that is the Grenfell Tower.

Re the defusing the bomb with water, I said I believed they came off a downed fighter, I have found the link and you can see the one in the film that they defused.
