Just read a report that North Macedonia has donated the four MiG 25's they bought from Ukraine, back to Ukraine.
Some versions of the 25 (Mig25RB) were "nuclear capable". Can't find any info on the version being returned to Ukraine, but it is likely that Ukrainian pilots will be familiar with the aircraft...and its capabilities.
Fight (nuclear) fire with fire?
Desperate times sometimes lead to Desperate Measures.
The Mig-25 and its follow on variants were A2A interceptors, originally designed to go up against the XB-70 and SR-71/A-12s. Some experiments were probably conducted for a high speed penetration bomber version but the variants dont have the legs for that. Highly doubt there are any nuclear capable Mig-25s/35s flying today, there are better delivery options available should Russia choose to go nuclear.

Also, maybe if Ukraine didn’t have biolabs there this wouldn’t be a problem.
Lol you are just trolling now.... Every country has biolabs, go look at how many France has to include 4 level 4s that cost about a billion per to build. BTW their so called biolabs were older USSR ones that the US help them upgrade in support in what they would need like every other country does to a WOPPING 21 million over like 10 years.

What utter tosh.

Russia has long been calling on the international community, in various contexts and at various levels, to strongly condemn the Kiev regime’s incessant military strikes against the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP), while using increasingly destructive weapons systems. The power plant came under Ukrainian fire again on August 5 and 6. Thanks only to the skillful and prompt actions of the employees and of Russian forces, which ensure the comprehensive protection of the facility, was a major disaster avoided.
It is impossible to ignore the obvious: the situation is growing more dangerous by the hour. We regularly send updated information from the site to the IAEA, which is reflected in the Agency’s Information Circulars. These reports clearly expose the criminal actions of the Ukrainian armed forces, suggesting their command has finally lost any ability to think sensibly. Clearly, they have also lost their sense of basic self-preservation. After all, by aiming artillery at operating reactors and spent nuclear fuel storage facilities, the Ukrainians are targeting themselves.
.........................
We noted the UN Secretary-General’s statement of August 8 that “any attack to a nuclear plant is a suicidal thing.” He emphatically expressed the hope that those attacks would end. In turn, the IAEA Director General also emphasised his concern about a missile attack on Europe's largest nuclear power plant, pointing out the real risk of a nuclear catastrophe that could endanger people and the environment in Ukraine and beyond. He condemned any acts of violence directed towards the plant or committed in its vicinity, as well as against its personnel.
There is no way the heads of international organisations can turn a blind eye to the atrocities committed by Kiev. The Ukrainian military’s actions must be sending chills down their spines. But one question remains: are these signals heard in Kiev, and is Vladimir Zelensky's regime interpreting them correctly? Time after time, the leaders of the UN and the IAEA fail to find the courage to openly name the source of the threat, revealing an unwillingness to point to the officials in Kiev. As a result, it sounds like those rockets and shells are just raining down on the Zaporozhye NPP and its employees’ heads, on Energodar, the city located in the immediate vicinity of the plant, out of the blue – when they are flying in from the areas controlled by the Ukrainian armed forces. It is perfectly clear who directs the hand that aims the weapon and pulls the trigger.

Ukraine is being absolutely crushed while all the aid and money we give them is going into the hands of dirty politicians.
You guys are not helping the people of Ukraine at all you are killing them.

Not a Vlad fanboy but you'll happily repeat the line "special operation" take a breath then say look! Homeboy just took a landmass as big as England!
It's not like you haven't spat venom in regards to Western and specifically British history in the past, which I highly respect if it isn't a scrutiny given via a lense clouding your vision... But this whole Russia defending it's noble and beautiful sovereignty schtick is seemingly revealing in regards to where a lot of people were coming from.
I suspect places of hate. The awesome most humbling emotion. Thanks Vlad!
Ukraine is absolutely non of our business! British have no reason whatsoever to interfere in Russia's domain.
