Russian invasion of Ukraine

[NinjaSX]

It won't be going into the Black Sea, Turkey aren't letting any military ships through the Bosphorous.

A quick google search says it's been in the Med since June 15th, and is part of a "consistent carrier presence in the Mediterranean Sea, which the U.S. began in December 2021".

To be fair though, in December 21, the ruscunts were already building up on the border before the invasion unless I’m mistaken?

Yeah, they had been since about September 2021, in fact I think they put extra ships into the Black Sea before Turkey stopped any military going through there.

Us put airborne drones into the Black Sea quite regularly, they fly on the edge of russian controlled Ukraine air space, and various other surveilance aircraft go there from UK and US (and others on occasion).

Also JSF has a range of at least 1200 miles without mid air refuelling. I’m convinced NATO will be involved within the next 6-12 months.

Wouldn't really matter, as there are refuellers over Romania daily, sometimes as many as 3 or 4, they're servicing various aircraft, fast jets (who usually don't switch on their transponders), P8 Posseidon, though they tend to stay in NATO air space.

There's probably a lot more going on that we can't see to be honest, but NATO is already involved, at least with monitoring what's going on, even Sweden not yet in NATO do monitoring further north, sometimes going down into Romania, along the border region.

90 aircraft including 35 JSF, F/A18 super hornets, F16’s, E-2D Advanced Hawkeye, EA-18G Growler electronic attack aircraft, MH-60R/S helicopters, as well as unmanned air and combat vehicles.

Yep, the world's 2nd largest airforce is a Navy. They'd stomp the russian airforce alone in a 1v1.

Looks like things are getting heated. Antalya is just a short way from the Black Sea.

Overt support for Turkey who are pissed off at Russia firing in Turkish waters?

More Russian stuff blowing up:

More Russian stuff blowing up, plus Russian commander deemed crazy for trying to save his troops

Someone should bring marshmallows. That tank is toast. Sixteen drones were part of this assault and Russia apparently only shot down three. The East German judge gives that one a 9.5 in the freestyle turret toss. This isn’t Russia. It’s a gas station...

+ Tank Cook offs, Drones severely damage a Russian airfield, drinking perfume, the Russian Neo-Nazi arrested in Finland, Hacking office cameras in Russia, the not-so-glorious 205th on the Dinipro, a Kitler (cats that look like Hitler) and, a dog waits for his owner.

The composition of Russian defensive positions in southern Ukraine and the ambiguities about how Russian forces are manning and equipping them continues to obscure how the next phase of fighting will transpire. Kursk Airbase in western Russia was...
