Is Ukraine about to have a war?
A hit YPR765 appears to carry on burning possibly to give the rest of the column a protective smokescreen. If true that takes balls.

Shades of 'he stuck with the plane to avoid crashing into the school/nursery/orphanage' there, Nutloose. More likely not thinking of anyone or anything else other than his own self-preservation at that point, and was just trying to clear himself from the danger area. That the smoke from his burning vehicle obscured his comrades was little more than a happy happenstance, I'd suggest.

I concur ... let's not turn all Ukranians into SuperHeroes.
Even though many of them undoubtedly are.

Does anyone have anything further on the affect of sanctions on the opertional capability of the likes of Aeroflot with their fleets of A320 etc?
Its been a while now and Flight Radar shows plenty of Aeroflot operated flights still. Or are these simply carrying large number of deficiences?

Likewise could Germany not open their valves letting the gas escape into their tanks, reducing the pressure and letting it flood?
Regarding Nordstream - is it possible that a cyber attack could have taken it out by manipulating the pumps and valves?
Discounted in the Jetblast thread, on account of there being no appreciable gas flow, without which the pig isn't going anywhere.
Not without a reason and location would not be enough, in fact even being caught in the middle of an act of sabotage probably would not be sufficient. ROE are quite tricky things especially outside conflict zones.
All the people wailing about the damage that will be caused if the line becomes full of salt water are way ahead of themselves. Short term it really doesn't matter if the line becomes full of uninhibited sea water, provided that there is no flow of thay water in the line. But better if it was gas full at low pressure which is the natural outcome in the do-nothing state.

At this point, I will ask you all to continue further discussion of the Nordstream's function (as fascinating as they are to a layman like myself) to the Jet Blast thread.
We've covered the military and / or aviation related aspect of this development sufficiently for our purposes here.
Thank you all in advance.

A face says it all, Scared fartless but also relieved, I wish I knew what they are saying.

Is the front that close to collapse that it warrants such drastic matters.
If that was me, I would be looking at the first opportunity to run away and surrender.
