❗️Putin did not rule out the destruction of F-16 fighters at military airfields of other countries

Russia does not exclude the possibility of destroying F-16 fighters if they are based on military airfields of other countries.

Against the backdrop of how the deadline for the delivery of F-16 fighters for the needs of the Ukrainian Air Force is approaching, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Russia will consider the issue of destroying these combat aircraft, even if the latter will be based on military airfields in other countries.

At the moment, the Russian leader said that the possibility of destroying aircraft at military airfields of other countries is not excluded, however, in all likelihood, this will only become possible if the fighters are used against the Russian army.

Predictions from some analysts on how the Ukr offensive would go, posted about 1 month ago...they expected the AFU to reach the 1st defence line in the first 1-3 days

The biggest surprise thus far has been how aggressively RFAF has contested the 'screening line' - minefields laid well forward of their main fortifications, and have consistently counterattacked.

❗️It's reported that Bradleys are being used again on the Orekhov - Rabotino line and during day light hours which they've been avoiding in the past few days

⚠️American Professor Elion Cohen at a conference at the Polish Institute of International Relations told how to prevent the victory of the Russians.

"Russia's defeat does not require a march on Moscow (which was rarely a good idea in the past).

The West should (...) convince Russia that it has been defeated.

This (defeat-approx.) is better achieved in the head."

How to do it? Regardless of the course of military operations, it is necessary to convince the population of Russia that " the struggle was useless, that the price paid in blood was in no way worth what it was worth."

After all, war, he quotes the German philosopher Karl von Clausewitz, is a test of moral strength.

The West should conduct an aggressive information campaign:

- constantly unnerve the population of Russia with one thought: they will arm Ukraine - "to the teeth for many years to come";

- convince Russians that "their generals are outdated and incompetent, the high command is indifferent to the lives of its people, equipment is inferior to Ukrainian, logistics is rotten from bribery and corruption";

- plus, you need to put long-range missiles to permanently destroy the Crimean Bridge.

The information war should be intensified by continued sanctions.

"...We need to see masses of Russians: fleeing, deserting, shooting at t

"convince Russians that "their generals are outdated and incompetent, the high command is indifferent to the lives of its people, equipment is inferior to Ukrainian, logistics is rotten from bribery and corruption"


Hmm🤔, a lot of people in the comments must be students of this guy
