Why the arrogance ?. The aircraft in question landed there and the type certainly was (is) based there as several online videos clearly show..

An idea of what the cluster munitions that the USA will provide, do, I wouldn't fancy being in any trench system on the recieving end of that lot.

Ukraine advancing, in effect by cutting the road they leave the Russians bottled up with no re-supplies.

They got some use in Desert Storm.
A few of my US Army colleagues were in Field Artillery, and they had a few interesting things to say about DPICM, but the bomblets story I recall most vividly was from a friend who ran a company of fuel trucks during the 100-hour war. They more or less had to chase various armored companies in order to get them fuel. Some of the area they were chasing them through had been hit with US artillery fire.
He and his driver had an encounter with an unexploded bomblet (which they detonated) which resulted in injury and a messed up vehicle.

I think it's safe to assume that since shogu is the only one left standing, he is the likely coup culprit or at least has control of the presidency either by consent or otherwise. I think they all know putin is no longer in charge, either by coup, consent or incapacitation.

What all these Russian senior figures need to invest in is these.

Perhaps because the aircraft is NOT based at Mildenhall, has NOT got original engines,is not 60 years old and as they converted 3 of them is not one of a kind?

4 out of 4….

Guys just chill, the reply was a bit terse, but then a lot are on here, including mine, I doubt anyone on here have not done the same.... Move on, it is history in the making and lets get back to recording the war and rooting for Ukraine and their just cause.

Reference all the unknown objects on the roofs of the reactors? Where any explosives would be placed to be able to blame UKR artillery or bombs?

Guess what, the IAEA where not allowed access and didn’t check any of them…..
