There is lots of conjecture that US and a few other nations are already flying sorties over Ukraine

Putin won't like that

Serbia wont be happy



The whole region is a tinder bix

Is that what you get when you combine a breakfast cereal with a dating app?

Hell yes!

FIFA clowns

Wonder if making them play as FUR will be enough to get Poland, Sweden and Czech to actually fulfill the qualifying matches next month. If not, FIFA actually have to make some difficult choices.

Who delivers pilots? Can they be selfdestructed if they fall into Russians hands.

I don't think that Poland, Sweden and the Czechs would have anything to do with with such a half arsed cop-out.

I'd genuinely be astounded if the US/NATO were active in any way - that would mean we're 1 missile away from Article 5 and world war.

Sounds like a promiscuous teen breakfast

Suburban areas of Kyiv are plagued by wild boars, these animals go nuts for the taste of this fatty lard. By spreading it on the bullets, these guys are increasing their chances of a kill; if the bullets don't kill em the wild boars will. It's an old but effective strategy, used in numerous conflicts within the region.

Not sure if it actually qualifies as a war crime, but it’s certainly very bad form. American soldiers took a lot of heat for doing the same thing in Iraq.

I very, very much doubt this. If they were to attack a Russian jet or convoy, perhaps even in self-defence, it could be casus belli for either side.

That would be a huge risk - one too far at the moment - unless they really are prepared to go into combat. Is it worth the escalation due to an act of aggression?

What they are likely to be doing elsewhere is probing close to Russian air space to keep air assets pinned down and gaining intel from communication etc.

It could even go as far as Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) missions, but @Mutzo Nutzo will likely know more about all that jazz.

Theyre protected by Sams apparently

Aye, it was more a throwaway remark.

Their BUKs have been getting targeted as they're prized assets, and as they don't have air superiority yet so it may be working.

Again, @Mutzo Nutzo any idea if they're using their longer-range SAMs like the Growler and Grumble?
