Ukraine on Sunday said its forces hit an ultra-modern Russian warplane stationed on an air base nearly 600 kilometers (370 miles) from the front lines, after its Western allies allowed Kyiv to use their weapons for limited strikes inside Russia.

Kyiv’s main military intelligence service shared satellite photos it said showed the aftermath of the attack. If confirmed, it would mark Ukraine’s first known successful strike on a Su-57 fighter plane, a twin-engine stealth fighter lauded as Moscow’s most advanced military aircraft.

In one photo, black soot marks and small craters can be seen dotting a concrete strip around the parked aircraft. According to the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense, the strike took place on Saturday at the Akhtubinsk base in southern Russia, some 589 kilometers (366 miles) from the front line.

Russia has been conducting strikes for over a year inside of Ukraine. It's only fair that Ukraine can conduct strikes inside of Russia. Putin has done more to strengthen NATO than any other country's leader in decades.

Ah yes, the typical Russia bad post. You should be at least, more creative than a rock

I mean... Russia is bad. It invaded its neighbor twice, it makes being queer illegal, Putin critics keep "mysteriously" dying, the media is all state-owned meaning it only reports what Putin wants reported, the elections are fraudulent affairs...

But apparently they have fresh bread in supermarkets in Russia. So says Tucker Carlson. So it's not all bad.

It invaded its neighbor twice

Just out of curiosity, when did westerners started to have a problem with invading other countries? I ask just because of the fact that in the last 100 years you were always either the invader or sided with the invader. And now its all wrong. Could you care to point when this change happened?

[-] Spedwell@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago

Ah, yes. The famously singular "westerners" who all 100% agreed with every foreign affairs policy of their government over the past century.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Are you saying that because Western countries have done bad things it means that Russia isn't doing a bad thing when it does it too?

[-] FreudianCafe@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

No, what i did was ask you a question, wich you did not answer

[-] Tinidril@midwest.social 23 points 1 year ago

You are mistaken. This is a "Russia is pathetically weak" post.

Lol, remember when a a band of mercenaries invaded Russia a year or two ago? The only reason this didn't end in devastation for Russia is because Wagner called it off.

Ah yes, the typical Russia bad post post. You could at least contribute something to the discussion.

Sometimes when everyone thinks something is bad, it's because it's actually bad.

[-] FreudianCafe@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Or its propaganda but who may know

[-] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago
