Is it stupidity or carelessness that allows you to park your bombers out in the open like that?
They may have figured Ukraine couldn't get drones out that far?

BBC News - Ukrainian drone destroys Russian supersonic bomber

Is it stupidity or carelessness that allows you to park your bombers out in the open like that?
Could be lack of available hangar space.

Russia did technically beat India to the moon, though.

Well, that logic is undeniable.

Heh, a little late to the party but some of the replies from a Guardian opinion cartoon on the subject:

Leave the Moon alone!
Be content with fucking up
Planet Earth, our home.

Alas! Missed the hospital and school by 230,000 miles!

Russia will likely claimed the Moon that was once a Comrade has joined NATO.

The moon was full of Nazis and was a puppet of the West.

Fun fact #1: The Soviet space program was a success largely because of Ukrainian rocket engineers (google Sergey Korolev).

Fun fact #2: In Finnish language there's a verb "ryssi", literally "to Russky", meaning "to fuck something completely up".

It was a perfectly legitimate military target.

did they actually waste enough money on a failed lunar launch or is that propaganda? I can't even tell anymore

oh nevermind I think I know now

the US is going to have to claim complete control of the ISS at some point, isn't it? Russia already can't operate it without aid and there's no way we should be helping them at this point.

The problem is you can't trust any poll at all when everyone knows that there is no free speech.

We have no idea how many of these 75% are truly brainwashed, and how many of them just say "oh, yes, putin great" when asked directly.

Even if the poll is made by independent and trustworthy people, it doesn't mean that the asked people trust them too.

We have seen people getting arrested in public for holding a white sheet of paper. Of course this is going to impact any poll.

Say something wrong to the wrong person, and the next day you may get some friendly visit.

this is true but for that guy to claim that the majority of russians still supporting putin is fake news and propaganda is a ridiculous claim when the only information we have indicates that they do still support him.

no poll will ever be 100% accurate, but when you have multiple independent pollsters that get similar results it is probably a decent barometer of where the public stands. it isn't shocking for me to imagine that much of the public is sticking with putin even as he commits daily atrocities

Elon Musk is murdering people if not directly due to him disrupting Starlink. He is pro-Putin which means, he wants Ukraine to be handed to Putin on a silver platter.

Not sure, the closest thing so far is buying Starlink terminals and services to get them away from Elons hands which the Pentagon is doing.

Maybe not backfiring, but minefields certainly are less effective when your enemies can easily map you retreating through them and copy your route.

The issue is that Russia (probably) has those spots zeroed in for artillery, and you can use artillery shells to deploy mines and close off those routes once your troops pass through.

Power level 10: Ukraine succesfully strikes an advanced Russian air defense system a hundred miles from the frontline.

Power level 20: An Ukrainian recon drone flying literally above the advanced Russian air defense system captures the succesful strike on video.

Much like all the Russian soldiers in Ukraine before him, Prigo decided to choose a 100% fatality rate of bending the knee to Putin over the (still high, but at least not 100%) fatality chance of going against him.

I wonder who the other 9 on the plane were? Others Putin wanted dead specifically, or just collateral damage he didn't care about?
