Russian Tupolev Bombers at Dyagilevo Air Base

[tomorrowusa]

EXCELLENT! 👍🏼 🇺🇦 The only way to end the war for good will be with Putin's defeat.

A flagship Russian long-range bomber has been destroyed in a Ukrainian drone strike, according to reports. Images posted on social media and analysed by BBC Verify show a Tupolev Tu-22 on fire at Soltsy-2 airbase, south of St Petersburg.

Ukraine had not been very active in that region. Soltsy is 124 miles/200 km south of Putin's hometown St. Petersburg.

The Kremlin is pretending that this is not a big deal.

Moscow said that a drone was hit by small-arms fire but managed to "damage" a plane. Ukraine has not commented. The Tu-22 can travel at twice the speed of sound and has been used extensively by Russia to attack cities in Ukraine. [ ... ] It stated the location as "a military airfield in the Novgorod region", where Soltsy-2 is situated. "The UAV was detected by the airfield's observation outpost and was hit with small-arms fire," the ministry said.

The point is to make the Kremlin feel insecure and cause the Russian military to divert resources to protecting locations which were previously thought to be immune to attack. Soltsy-2 is about 620 km from Ukraine.

The location of this attack is directly related to Russia's terrorist attacks on Ukrainian civilians.

The Tu-22 is a Cold War-era, swing-wing supersonic bomber, codenamed "Backfire" by Nato, which has been used extensively in attacks on Ukrainian cities. Modern versions such as the Tu-22M3 can reach speeds of Mach 2 (2,300km/h or 1,430mp/h) and can carry up to 24,000kg of weapons, including "dumb bombs" and homing missiles. They have been used in conflicts in Syria, Chechnya, and Georgia and most recently in Ukraine. According to prosecutors in Kyiv, 30 people were killed when a Tu-22-launched missile hit a block of flats in Dnipro in January.

There is now one fewer Tu-22 (possibly two according to other reports) which can bomb Ukrainian maternity hospitals, schools, apartment buildings, and blood transfusion centers.

Russia is losing the war – but not fast enough. Give Ukraine whatever military hardware and weapons it needs except nukes.

The bottom line is that Russia has no fucking business in Ukraine. That's all anybody needs to know about this conflict.

Drone destroys Russian supersonic bomber

[awesome-casuallyfamouscollector]

Very good news: Dyagilevo Air base, Ryazan Oblast (~500km from the Ukrainian border, 175km from Moscow), a Ukrainian drone attack damaged a Russian Tu-22M-3, RF-34110 (Red 02). The aircraft appears to have been armed with a pair of Kh-22 (AS-4 'Kitchen') missiles when it was hit. Source:  OSINTtechnical

P.S. Ukrainian drones have managed to successfully punish several Russian war criminals who participated in the bombing of civilians in Ukraine...

Megvan a magyarázat a rejtélyes robbanásokra a semmi közepéről: az oroszok, minden másból kifogyva, az 1960-as években gyártott (később korszerűsített) H-22-esekkel “támadják a stratégiai célokat”, ezeknek a rakétáknak a szórása kilométeres nagyságrendű.

Svegliarsi e scegliersi ogni giorno per tutta la vita

[mi-recuerdo-sera-tu-tumba]

Te prometo que cualquiera que sea el final,

nunca me arrepentiré de entregarte el amor

que nació de mi para ti.

Lo necesitabas.

[otro-daniel]

Y no debería pero, no puedo evitar pensar que cuando me dicen “¿que deseas de cumpleaños?” Te desearía a ti, todo el día, toda la noche, toda la vida.

Thinking about all the NFAK songs built around the act of looking at the lover. How there is an exploration of the manner in which the sight of the lover engages with the beloved. The sight being the first sense that interacts with the beloved, and what that means to the lover. How sight lets you build what you want to make of your beloved without touching them. Akin to how one might interact with god because one can't touch god.

"Kiven Mukhre ton Nazra Hatawan" being an ode to how you can't take your eyes off the one you love because you see god there. "Je tu akhiyan de saamne ni rehna" being this sulky, pouty demand you make to your love to return your heart if they are not going to be there in your sight always. "Akhiyan Udeek diyan" a reminder to your love that your eyes are waiting for their arrival, to get a glimpse of you. "Chaap tilak sab cheen" being about how the lovers world collapsed when their eyes met their beloved's. "Ye Jo halka halka suroor" literally telling the beloved that its their gaze that is responsible for this constant state of inebriation that the lover finds themselves in. A love so intense, so potent, that even when the least invasive sense is exposed to it, it's enough to capture a whole gamut of human emotions.

Je voudrais tant que tu me reviennes, que je puisse à nouveau boire l’amour à tes lèvres, me sentir exister entre tes bras, avoir le sentiment de compter pour quelqu’un, sentir tes mains sur moi, ton souffle sur ma peau, ton cœur contre le mien, ta vie contre la mienne, croire que la vie peut être belle ; mais comment faire si tu n’es pas là, oui, comment faire sans toi...
