I was trying to keep it short, and you are quite right, but only up to a point. Russia has Air Superiority over much of Ukraine. The Ukraine Air Force is vastly outnumbered and outgunned, but their commanders are making the very best use possible of this scarce resourse. They are concentrating their aircraft where they can be most effective. Sadly though, this leaves vast swathes of the Country open to Air attack. The Ukraine President, from the early days has asked repeatedly that NATO establishes a 'No Fly Zone' over his country. Fearing, (presumabley), that this might lead to direct confrontation with Russia, this has been refused. I SUSPECT that NATO and psrticularly The Nordic countries along with The USofA and GB would be prepared to offer Air Support to Sweden, and by implication Finland.
Belarus President claiming that the atrocities at Bucha were carried out by British Special Ops. He’s an absolute prick him like, Belarus is like the little kid who sides with the big bully and hides behind him. As I’ve said previously, Belarus by themselves couldn’t take Fellgate Estate.
Air Dominance yes, but not air superiority. The S-300 and Sky Sabre air defence systems plus the many Stinger misles deny them superiority (otherwise they would be using helicopters a lot more).
He is a Pro-Russian Ukrainian politician who very likely would have been installed as Putin's puppet Ukrainian President.
Putin doesn’t want Sweden and Finland to join. Is he really too thick to realise that they weren’t applying before , and are doing so now all because of his aggression ?
That F-15 shot over Roker last night, was loud as owt! Followed it on Flightradar24 and it was over Scarborough about 10 minutes later. Pretty annoying as it took me 2.5 hours to drive home from Scarborough earlier in the day. He could have given me a lift.
I'll put this as diplomatically as I can. The Americans have no idea where they are or what they're doing most of the time. Which results in them upsetting people.
