  1. Wasting time, fuel and air hours just to show off attacking Ukraine cities? Sweden is already showing off how good NATO ally their are.

  3. Oooh boy! How scary! 1960’s technology…Russia is just so special. That whole country is a giant clown car.

  4. OK, so now we know that Russia is able to fly fighters and bombers. What else is new?

  5. Good. More hours on airframes they probably cannot replace quickly. Hopefully NATO will keep enough activity along russian borders to make them waste resources away from Ukraine.

  6. lol, and? They also put nukes on belaruzzian territory.

  8. Lol nice, im sure Sweden is going to cancel their NATO membership because … SIXTY YEAR OLD planes can still fly in russia. Fucking joke.

  9. In a show of aggression that might trigger a nation to join a defensive alliance. Putlers muppets

  11. They’re using Mig-31s to carry Kinzals? That’s an air to ground missile. The Mig-31 is an interceptor meant to engage other fighters? They must be running low on SU-34s

  15. >The operational ceiling of this bomber, capable of carrying a payload of up to 24 tons, is 14 km,

    It can fly higher further than it can actually fly over Ukraine.

  17. That’s not really a scramble. It’s more of a temper tantrum

  18. All they’re doing is showing that they’re still too stupid to comprehend that NATO is a defense alliance (Sweden/Finland joining was entirely their own fault) and that their country doesn’t matter nearly as much as they want it to and they’re kicking and screaming about it as a result.

  20. Good encouragement is needed . Give them two invading forces posted on their borders. And a shield 🛡️ wall on Ukraines borders . Spread them thin and let Ukrainians focus on the stretched thin troops .

  21. Putin is a paranoid nut case. Hes the one invading European countries then saying hes being threatened when others prepare to defend themselves. Nobody wanted his freezing mafia state to begin with.
