Simply means that a Reuters reporter was not on-site witnessing it. Do you care to comment on all the videos of Russian planes going down in flames.
no that means zero evidence was provided so you posted 1 video of 1 downed plane of uknown origin (for me it looks like ukrainian plane) downed who knows where and who knows when and you want to say that the evidence of 3 downed russian planes in Avdeevka?
Those poor guys... I was right... they should have taken the UAL jobs before the superior US firepower provided to Ukraine blew them out of the sky. You mentioned their children... what kind of life insurance policy does Putin's DOD provide? I bet they're f'd too. A large price to pay for sheltering them from our equity, inclusion, and divesity policies don't ya think? Well... those poor kids can now enjoy a life of starvation, subjugation, and (let me think of a rhyme here)... impoverization.
As I discussed way back - and is now happening- one of the things that the Ruskies need to be careful about is that if Biden does not get the funding he wants, he will compensate for it by sending longer and longer range missiles to Ukraine. Expect the Kerch Bridge to be renamed the Navalny Memorial Bridge when it comes down. And yes the Ukrainians are in trouble. Not denying that. Just saying the Russians still have problems until they don't. Biden administration is leaning toward supplying Ukraine with long-range missiles Biden administration is leaning toward supplying Ukraine with long-range missiles (msn.com)
Granted I don't keep up with these things, but I assume by the nature of your post, the Kerch Bridge is a strategic asset for Russian logistics. Which begs the obvious question.... with all the weaponry we have sent them, how friggin hard is it to take out a bridge?
It is also known as the Crimean Bridge. or the Kerch Strait Crimean Bridge. The Russians have massive, massive air defenses set up there and they have been successful in taking down missiles and drones probing it on a weekly basis. When the bridge was hit before it was hit with a sea drone. They have barriers and steel netting in the water now. Actually as I recall now, it was originally hit by loading a truck with explosives that were detonated. And the sea drone attack was a second minor damage attack. The other big problem is the distance. Giving long range distance missiles to Ukraine- that can reach the bridge is a crossing of Putin's red line but that red line is being crossed incrementally. The British have given the Ukrainians harpoon missiles which can reach the bridge. And what the Americans have given is not clear. The Americans have missile launch systems that can take both medium and long range missiles and they/we state openly that the Ukrainians have received only medium range missiles that cannot reach the bridge so Vlad needs to chill out. Except little birdies keep saying that they have some long range ones too. Vlad needs to worry about that.
I won't bore you with stupid questions then, google is my friend right(?). General VZ will get back to you on this.
