it is the extreme right and parts of the radical left (out of a natural connection to russia) but all in all always the querulous, the delusional, the nationalists, the radicals, the populists who constantly defend putin's war of aggression. you can see this everywhere in the world. just like here in the forum. whereas you can fortunately also observe that the reasonable members (no matter if left, right, center...) stand against the propagandists.

you can already observe the growing concern on russian television. the land gains of ukraine are not even kept quiet. the tide seems to be turning. and it shows. russia has no chance if nato stands together. that's exactly why we need this alliance.

Nailed it mate

The extreme right and tankies sound the same yet hate each other? isn't no coincidence IMO, they're radicalized lunatics whose positions went static years ago regardless of the data, at what point do external power/enemies become your friend? right before a treason charge id imagine

You definitely wouldn't want them in a position of power when the SHTF

I meant why do they not fly modern migs that can drop bombs from afar and avoid aa , they are very agile and fast.
This was my main question.

Check it out guys, us Europeans do not want to support Ukraine.
Were fed up with Nato and Eu.

Endlessly pump money and arms into Zelinsky that does not want to negociate and trashes minority rights in his country.


How is that fair ?
Why should I pay at the gas pump more than I should so Zelinsky can rage on Tv again.

Lack of logistics, operational aircraft, training and expertise are possibities.

There doesn't seem any sound strategic reason not to use them if they could so probably they can't

I find this non sense, I have seen squadons of these flown.
Putin just held them back and let his troops take the hit, he loves his planes more than his troops I think.

You certainly haven't seen squadrons of mig 35s.

If you are right it just makes Putin even more stupid and sociopathic.

More likely ever is Russias air force is every bit as much a paper tiger as it's army.

Yes. MIGs have been around for donkeys years.

Now, MIG 35's, specifically.

How many are there?

Answer this simple question, without hesitation or deviation, please.

Thats a 30 year old design which was really an upgrade of a 45 year old design.

Okay maybe not mig 35 but other newer migs compared to what they are using now inside Ukraine, that is really old.

Maybe not MIG35 but more modern capable aircraft than they are flying now in Ukraine, that low boat stuff that gets blown up with sholder cannons, no wonder they get shot down.

Where?

Well I see more migs on that platform taking off in the previous video I showed so it seems they are operational and armed and are taking off to kick ass.

I think you should click the video link I posted.

Hitler said in 1945 to his Generals " Bring up the reserve units of Panzer's to defend Berlin "

His Generals replied " What reserve unit's would those be " ?
