If you keep giving guns to the thugs in the neighborhood, at some point people might object. Strenuously. Forcefully, even. Decisively. It’s only right.

🚀💥Regarding the strike on Dzhankoy, as well as first footage of the aftermath of the attack. Destroyed Russian S-400 air defence system equipment.

«Tonight, April 17, 2024, the military airfield of the 39th helicopter regiment of the 4th Air Force and Air Defense Army (military unit 46453, Dzhankoy) was attacked.

The photo shows the destroyed S-400 Triumph air defense system.

The strike was carried out by two MGM-140 ATACMS tactical ballistic missiles.

The first blow hit the positions of the S-400 Triumph air defense system. 3 launchers and radar were destroyed.

The second hit was at the point for receiving and repairing military equipment of the 77th Anti-Aircraft Missile Brigade (military unit 33742, Krasnodar Territory). At the time of the impact, two S-300 launchers (of an unknown modification) were being serviced at the point. Also, as a result of the impact at the point, a secondary detonation of ammunition occurred. What exactly exploded is unknown.

There is no information about damaged helicopters yet.

Preliminary (as of 06:00) – 15 wounded, 22 missing.»

The Telegram channel of the “ZSU-War” released a picture of a destroyed Russian S-400 air defense unit.

The channel reports that the first wave of missiles destroyed the S-400 position. In detail, 3 launcher and the radar unit was destroyed, leaving the base defenseless against further missiles.

The 2nd wave destroyed the repair and maintenance hub of that airbase. Secondary explosions did their part in further compromising the Russian base in the occupied peninsula. No information regarding the status of the choppers in that base, yet.

Satellite pics should deliver the final confirmation of the extent of the destruction, which must be huge judging from the videos we have seen so far.

Only zeepers and western Media think a Ukrainian Strike is a “victory”
Russia hits many dozens of targets each day deep inside Ukraine

It’s a common thing in war that both sides strike each other

Why do you and the western media somehow think it’s a major news story?
Is it to give a glimmer of hope that Ukraine can still win if we would only send them another 200 billion?

The fact is Russia continues to advance on the battlefield and the pace of those advances is picking up …that’s all that matters

These articles would be like German newspapers highlighting attacks on Allied airbases in 1945 as the allies advance across Europe

“ The fact is Russia continues to advance on the battlefield and the pace of those advances is picking up.”

At this rate they’ll be in Kiev in 2037.

That's still a lot sooner than you'll be in the fight.

I did my stint in uniform for my country.

When did you do yours? Oh that’s right, mommy wouldn’t let her wee lad join the icky military. She let him play dress up in his sisters clothes.

This is a new fight, and one that you are noisy about. So when are you going?

lol The Sun.uk is a tabloid paper like the Weekly World News and the NY Times. They deal in sensationalism, not factual news.

Putin bragged he’d take Kyiv in 3 days. That was more than 2 years ago.
