1. What air defence doing?

2. Looks like it could use a second tap

3. Get the gaffer tape out

4. Something is telling me Kerch bridge is not good place to be these days.

5. Looks like they hit the expensive bits, but a shame they didn’t also manage to get the boom tubes at the back there too, for a little extra *chef’s kiss

6. “Best in class” in action

7. I enjoy seeing Rushist assets repurposed into scrap metal. That and hot coffee make an enjoyable beginning to my day.

8. How many S400s does Russia have left?

9. Could those be decoys? I don’t think real launchers would have survived like this?

10. How thoughtful of Ukraine, they have given Russia the perfect opportunity to display the might of Russian war economy and how ineffective Western sanctions are .. I’m sure Russia is building so many of these 500 million dollar machines that such an incredibly important airfield will have a replacement next week to show off this economy in action
