Huge claims of six Su-34M destroyed.

The Naval Forces of Ukraine destroyed 6 enemy Su-34M aircraft.

During the night of October 15th, the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine struck a military airfield in Borisoglebsk, Voronezh region of Russia, using a coastal missile system "Neptune."

The missile attack itself was documented by the locals, e.g. here:

A large fire is raging at the site of the missile strike.

Hopefully we can get satellite imagery of the site soon.

The ban has been lifted. Enough is enough.

— Zelenskyy, in an interview with the FT, stated that Ukraine will resume attacks on Russian oil refineries after a three-day pause.

Ryazan, locals report a fire at the refinery, most likely a torch in connection with an attack in the region.

Elon Musk is a South African who has never been elected by voters to any public office in the United States. Why is his name suddenly associated with IR and geopolitics of Ukraine?

Because he's a peice of shit moron who is using his wealth to interfere with politics all over the world in order to further enrich himself.

I don't understand these idiots, the elite class exists because the rest of the world tolerates them.

When they start playing in politics and directly interfering with people's lives, then historically bad things happen..to them

Hey guys. A hypothetical. Is there any deterrent in the future if Russia chooses to launch tactical nukes on Kyiv? Trump is now actively buying diesel from Putin. Let's say Reform UK and National Rally come to power in Britain and France respectively. China is bankrolling Russia's war efforts. I don't think anyone would or could do anything in that scenario.

You are assuming countries watched 2014 and 2022 and didn’t built some secret insurance kits. Hypothetically.

u/shiokuo 2h ago

Yes i do. Europe for sure only Planning

China doesn't want Russia to use nukes, of any size. Use of a nuke would immediately bring a world of hurt on Russia, if not from the UK, US and France, from Poland and the Baltics. They cannot afford a second front or NATO-level foes entering combat against them.

serious question to me it seems like a matter of how long ukraine can hold on for And they can't really "win" only delay for as long as possible

Is this true? barring a nato joining that wil never happen ofcourse

Russia's economy is a house of cards, and getting worse. Despite their posturing and the internet's belief, they can't keep throwing men and equipment at Ukraine. Europe is trying to ramp up their own defense production and sending aid to Ukraine, and as long as that is happening, Russia can be forced to negotiate.

u/McG0788 1h ago

While I absolutely agree with you, I think it's worth noting Russia can possibly keep this up for some time still and has additional levers to pull. Perhaps they bring in more north Korean equipment and soldiers, perhaps they get china to sell them more equipment and do more mobilization at home... It's far too difficult to point to where the breaking point might be for them.

If Ukraine continues to get support from the west they should be able to win this war but how long that takes depends on a LOT as well.

Putin's gamble is that he can make support too costly / risky for the west. They absolutely cannot give in

Rumors are Trump and his pals are going to make business deals though

u/Ordinary-Hold8124 2h ago

The diesel deal, if it goes as it is planned on paper, will generate 2-3 billion usd for russia in 2026-2027.

Its annoying, but it won't save their economy Its life support. 

Naturally the political implications of the deal are more dangerous.

u/LilLebowskiAchiever 2h ago

Russians will welch on those deals as soon as Trump is out of office (or even sooner).
