Is Ukraine about to have a war?
Ecce Homo! Loquitur...
The question being is why haven’t the EU/Eurocontrol closed all European airspace to Russian airlines - and why is Spain allowing them to land!

Looks like the Russians are moving TOS-1 into theatre.

#Russian military leaders should think very carefully before following the orders they recently received
#Putin is 2 years shy of the life expectancy of a Russian male
and you will spend the rest of your lives evading an international tribunal for committing his crimes

I'm admire the Ukrainians for their bravery but dread the casualities they may suffer....


Is it just me or is anyone else a little uneasy with all the news coverage of civilians making Molotov cocktails? This becomes pretty close to making the civilian population legitimate targets. If they are publicly seen to be aiding the Ukrainian armed forces they cease to be civilians and can be seen as irregular forces and fair game.
Granted this will always happen and should happen, I just don’t think it should be given press coverage.

I wrote it earlier and write it again: I hope the NLAW's make it there and take those thermobaric weapons on convoy. Or that there would be some Bayraktar still flying that would take that out. Or a real Ghost of Kiev looking for the best bang for buck.
Those will multiply the civilian casualties from todays numbers once used in a city.

The carpet bombing type flashes in the distance we saw occasionally as Russia pummelled Ukrainian infrastructure and airfields on that first night rather resembled what this TOS-1 does in the clip above. I wonder if it has already been used there? Or did masses of cruise missiles all land together?
