About that video of the group of Ukrainian soldiers getting blasted point blank by the tank. Nobody had posted a link to the video so I went out and found it, actually two videos, to try to figure out what happened. It seems to me that the Ukrainians thought it was a Ukrainian tank, not realizing that it was actually a captured tank crewed by Russians, or else mistaking it for a Ukrainian tank because they weren't aware of Russian forces being in the area. I assume that after blasting them, the Russians recovered their phones/cameras and obtained the videos.

It may be that the troops on the wrong end of the tank barrel were posing for a photograph / Tik-Tok video.
Adding to their distraction....

Either way.
Rather foolish to die just so some sinister ivory tower folk can play real life Risk...

MIG 29 Story is back :laughter: again...
This time it's Slovakia.

"Slovakia is in talks with allies about an arrangement that could allow Bratislava to send fighter jets to Ukraine, Prime Minister Eduard Heger said on Monday"

Lately Slovakia competes with Poland in anti-Russian hysteria. I wonder what their percieved historical grievances are with Russia?

All those central and Eastern European countries behave like a pack of rabid hyenas that were unleashed by their powerful master. All too happy to serve him, competing among themselves in who hates Russia more and can cause her more problems.

Im sure there will be a bumerang effect. It is already happening.

In other words, they know that doing this is just begging for Russia to attack them. How can they not see how this is a bad idea? I obviously hasn't worked well for Ukraine. Now they think it will work for them if they get "guarantees" of defense of their airspace?

I suppose it's all virtue signaling. They never expect to deliver the planes, and if their bluff was called, they'd find some way to get out of it.
