Watched some pretty destressing videos of this attack. I was married in Dnipro 3 years ago and remember this plaza quite well. A cool circualr tram rail system in the middle, cafes and restaurants on the side, the train station as the backdrop. Dnipro is such a cool city and I was pleasantly surprised how many people spoke English there. Much more than Kharkiv.
I know some people whine when we celebrate russian deaths, but considering the destruction and straight up murder that pilot put forth on civilians, #### that guy and rot it hell. |
The Backfire being eliminated is an interesting one. Shot down 300 km's inside Russian territory is basically the max range of an S200 sitting right at the border, so it would be a long missile flight with radar warnings going bonkers in the cockpit. So you'd think the pilots would get moving as fast as possible away from the threat? But the way it's falling from the sky it doesn't seem like a plane moving as fast as possible was hit? More like a plane cruising along without a care in the world being taken completely by surprise to me. But I have no idea.
Maybe Ukraine has AA assets on Russian territory? Russia is so f***ed.
