I did a little correction to my post while you were typing. That first successful attack was actually a truck load with explosives as I recall.
Maybe because US weak and Russia is strong? And Russian proxies in the middle east just waiting an order to sink several US ships and give arrogant former hegemon a life lesson?
Hey... you are correct. THERE WERE 6 PLANES DOWNED. Sukhoi Massacre! Ukraine Has Shot Down Six Of Russia’s Best Jets In Just Three Days. https://www.forbes.com/sites/davida...best-jets-in-just-three-days/?sh=1f94e5f0655f
So Putin has seized another American citizen to hold hostage. Ksenia Karelina, who is an American citizen and lives in Los Angeles donated just over $50 to "Razom for Ukraine" to send a child to summer camp for 7 to 10 days. Note this donation was made while she was in the U.S. She also attended pro-Ukraine rallies in the U.S. Ksenia Karelina went back to Russia to visit her parents and was arrested for treason. Note that none of her activities occurred on Russian soil. It should also be noted that she may no longer even be a Russian citizen -- possibly having given up her Russian passport when she became a U.S. citizen. American woman faces 20 years in Russian jail for 'treason' after donating $50 to Ukraine war effort https://news.yahoo.com/russian-secret-arrest-american-woman-121103385.html An American woman faces up to 20 years in a Russian jail for reportedly giving $50 (£40) to an organisation raising money for the Ukrainian army. Ksenia Karelina, has been charged with “high treason”, after being arrested by the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) in the central Urals city of Yekaterinburg. The 33-year-old is the latest American to be locked up in Russia amid concerns Vladimir Putin is using detained foreign nationals as bargaining chips. Evan Gershkovich, 32, a Wall Street Journal reporter, was arrested last year on espionage charges that he, his employer and the US government have strenuously denied. Ms Karelina, who was detained on Tuesday, is accused by the FSB of collecting funds “used to purchase tactical medical items, equipment, means of destruction and ammunition”. Perviy Otdel, a legal rights group, told The New York Times that Ms Karelina is accused of sending just over $50 to Razom for Ukraine, a New York-based non-profit human rights organisation. She is also accused of repeatedly participating in public events in support of Ukraine in the US. The FSB said Ms Karelina, had been acting “against the security of our country”, news agencies reported. Russian-born Ms Karelina, who lives in Los Angeles, obtained US citizenship in 2021. She was detained on a trip back to Russia to see her parents. Analysis of her social media profiles suggest she attended the Ural Federal University in Yekaterinburg. According to Perviy Otdel, a group of Russian lawyers who specialise in politically charged cases, the number of treason cases in the country has been rising steadily since the invasion of Ukraine. A video shared by Russian state news agency Tass shows the woman being handcuffed while wearing a cream puffer jacket with a white hat pulled down over her eyes. She is escorted by a man in military camouflage who appears to be a Russian soldier. She is ushered into a car and later appears behind bars in what appears to be a courtroom. In a later image, the woman’s hat is removed, showing her brown hair with blonde highlights tied up in a bun. Meanwhile, Moscow City Court has rejected an appeal against detention filed by Mr Gershkovich’s lawyers. The journalist, who is accused of espionage after being arrested while reporting in Yekaterinburg, will spend at least a year in custody before coming to trial. Earlier this month in an interview with Tucker Carlson, a US political commentator, Putin hinted that Russia would be willing to release Mr Gershkovich in exchange for Vadim Krasikov, a Russian hitman detained in Germany for the murder of a Chechen fighter in Berlin in 2019.

The day has finally come when more Russian military have died in the Ukraine war than American military died in all of World War II and there have been 80 years of medical advances since World War II. Just let that sink in. It really gives you and idea of the depth of Putin's idiocy.
I used to think that these numbers represents wounded as well, but it seems that they have 1.2 mil wounded.
