Isn't it interesting. With all 'parties' reportedly trying to avoid the 'full party/full-scale conflict' - and the reality moving towards it.

Actually, the 'situation' really is frightening. Would the Conservative hardliners support mil aid to ruz and putin?
One wonders.

On the radar system in Brjansk. Another one east of Moscow attacked, several explosions reported last night, so probably damaged (this time, UKR has tried it before). ruz says it's range is/was up to 3000 km. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HryMDt8QP8 edited to add on the extra-long-range radar: Wh...

More on cloud-seeding, so maybe there's something in it after all?
CNN: Dubai flooding sparks cloud seeding questions. What is it and does it work?

I've read similar opinions. Just how much flying force was there remains unconfirmed. Some say helicopters, and a lot. Dunno. But ruz withdraws (or has already) the troops from Nagorno-Karabakh. One should guess no peace any more to keep there for them? Or is it just more needed in UKR? Le Monde: Ru...

Not sure which forum it should go to? Not an aviation incident, but on the other hand, the jets are floating on water... well, seemingly anyway. #-o The surreal scenes in DXB - airport flooded (video).

Yeah, Fox... :-w They do, they do. Looks like the initial strike was around 0400, always the worst time to get woken up, especially by a missile attack. :D Sure, 5:30 would have been much more convenient! @-) HUR drones attacked the Gorbunov Aviation Plant in Kazan, where Russians manufacture and re...

Dunno. The fire was mentioned in other sources as well, "A fire broke out at Moscow's Avangard Machine Building Plant, the sole supplier of missiles for the S-400 system, on April 16, Russian Telegram channel Astra claimed." Hoping Fox will find out more about the Dzhankoy situation - some sources c...

Russia's S-300 / S-400 plant caught fire in Moscow

(btw - any idea on the reliability of the source, anybody?)

More specifics on the radar in Brjansk (that was hit) - 55Zh6U NEBO-U, range of up to 700 km.

Very warm spring (extraordinary), lots of rain and lack of finances spent for maintenance + the usual hope of somehow someone else getting into the trouble. Meltwater is nothing unusual, it's just that much of it. And, if nothing has happened for the previous 80+ years, it might not need any extra e...

Interesting. With everybody claiming everything it's quite impossible to work out what's actually happening - ruz is trying hard for sure and gaining some ground here and there, UKR has hit a command centre in the Crimea, and the situation around Iran is complicated. But, something out of the ordina...

Of course, Kyiv might get nuked by putin in response. Hard call. Do you think it could actually happen? Deliberately, I mean, not by some "jumpy finger"? With putin knowing it'll be the end for him? And others doing nothing (the ones that could do, that is). Actually it isn't about just pressing a ...

True. Still, more could be done? If there were 'political will', and if ruz didn't have nukes...
