Ukrainians Shoot Down Su-35

No better news these days than hearing about Russian gadgetry being rendered unusable, both in the air and on the ground. Keep them coming (down). Slava Ukrajini!

this post is not for political feelings nor observations,but one cannot help but say, particularly after seeing the horrific photos (not staged by the way)of the teriible destruction, and the deceased people left to rot in the streets of various communities,more power to ukraine and their people..

Bravo!

Good for them!

Imagine what Ukraine could do if the west really cared and wanted to stop this horror!

Drill the bastards!

Yay Ukraine!

If their planes are like their ground equipment not a surprise. I wonder if their industrial companies are also fleecing the government

Excellent

Yes. It's called nuclear blackmail and now it is real.

For propaganda reasons let's not mention it was a Russian air defense missile system that captured the target. Although if pressed we can always say it was a Ukrainian kid with a slingshot.

I went into a ring of fire And it burns burns the ring of fire

Pancakes are awesome.

The proper hardware can work wonders. And since Russia has either floated and overhauled or built new nuclear capable submarines, proper hardware includes assets that can track them, both in the air ot on or under the seas.

Господь захистить нашу країну

Bully!

Splash one MIG... Let's hope they receive those BUK 300s in time for round two and shoot them at altitude..

Seems a bit weird, from the pictures it looked like the "Su-35" was in a flat spin, exactly how is questionable... Maybe the missile took out both engines?
I would expect a plane shot by missile in more pieces than shown...

The pilot ejected and was captured. I hope and pray that he is being properly treated but I fear that is not the case. There are videos of Ukrainian forces executing Russian troops. The Ukrainian Nazi's are barbaric and the west just looks the other way while they commit atrocities not only against Russian troops but Ukrainian civilians. It was the Azov-Nazi's who murdered all those villagers in Bucha who they deemed to be too friendly to the Russian occupiers. It was Ukraine that targeted the train station in eastern Ukraine filled with women and children in a false-flag attack to be blamed on Russia. I could go on and on - maternity hospital, theater etc all false flags.

I read that this aircraft was brought down by a British Starstreak MANPAD which has a 16,000 ft ceiling and Mach 4 top speed. I don't know why Russia hasn't bombed all rail and road links in and out of Poland to prevent these weapons from getting into Ukraine. I really don't understand their strategy.

Trains are travelling freely back and forth to Poland - UK PM Johnson travelled to Kiev on a train. Russia has some high precision missiles that they can use in close proximity to the Polish border so they need to seal-off the border with Poland before any more lethal weapons get in. Boris Johnson promised Zelensky anti-ship Missiles. If any of these missile hit a Russian ship in the Black Sea Putin needs to see that as a direct attack by the UK on Russia since no doubt these UK weapon systems will be manned by UK military advisers. This is not like shipping Ukraine Soviet era weapons they know how to use.

I'm afraid that eventually those of us living in NATO countries will pay a price for arming Ukraine with weapons to kill Russian. The Russian people will never forget this and they can eff us up in all kinds of ways.
