This does not make sense, it shows a British soldier in Ukraine dragging / recovering the body of a dead American to safety... Who is filming it??

To have an EMP effect the explosion has to take place in the upper atmosphere. The effect wasn't discovered until an American high altitude burst 'Starfish Prime' took place, knocking out some power in Hawaii, 900 miles from the detonation center. The altitude of the shot was about 250 miles. A tactical low altitude burst wouldn't cause a major EMP event. It certainly would cause other effects.....

It all continues to get worse. The conscripts are arriving with nothing to nothing, no support at all, no-one knows what to do, They will all starve and freeze to death within a month.

The USN had ASW helicopters searching the area a couple of days ago so presumably had detected something - I doubt they were attracting attention to any of their own assets.

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 with the smoke from his burning vehicle obscuring his comrades being little more than happenstance.

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?
