Bombing runways is almost completely useless unless done on a daily basis, since the repairs can be done quickly and cheaper than the cost of whatever ballistic missile they use. Blowing up the airplanes in the hangars incurs an irrecoverable loss to the tune of a hundred million dollars give or take.

But even were Iran or anyone else to hit some expensive F-35 or similar NATO bullshit plane they will never confirm the loss officially or do so reluctantly weeks later; case in point, the whole F-16 debacle currently in Ukraine.

The "vampire drones" aren't drones but 122mm rockets fired from an Czech RM-70 MLRS, an unguided saturation bombardment weapon aimed at civilians for the umpteenth time by Ukraine. Since these are relatively short range weapons they've started bombarding Belgorod more since Donetsk city isn't within safe firing ranges anymore after the fall of Avdiivka.

This map has daily updates showing changes in territory which have been confirmed either by geolocation or multiple sources, both Russian and Ukrainian, reporting said changes.

If you want a rough overview of the big movements over the last months have this very detailed completely 100% accurate image that I made over the course of several hours.

Pink area was under Ukrainian control at the start of February with the most important part being Avdiivka, a city fortified since 2014 and the point from which Donetsk civilians were regularly bombarded by Ukrainian forces. This fell after a massive Russian air campaign with glide bombs, a sneaky sewer tunnel getting troops behind Ukrainian lines, and Russians gaining control of the slag deposit of the nearby coke plant which gave them the high ground and fire control over the entire city and its supply routes.

After the fall of Avdiivka and the Ukrainian retreat the front stabilized at the neon green line, this second line of defense was breached along a highway marked with the black arrows. Russian forces pushed about 3km behind Ukrainian lines and captured Ocheretyne and started pushing south, capturing Soloviove and Novobakhmutivka, which threatened encirclement for Berdychi and Semenivka to the south-east and consequently the Ukrainians retreated from those positions. Russian forces also pushed north and north-west of Ocheretyne capturing parts Arkhanhelske which again threatened encirclement and led to the retreat of Ukrainian forces from Keramik and surrounding fields.

As a last point the brown line represents a rough third Ukrainian defensive line, this line is less fortified as the first two and is possibly a target for Russian forces as after this there are increasingly sparse fortifications. As the Russian army does not broadcast its strategy in advance, unlike certain other parties, we don't know the next advances. There are speculations of the Russians advancing west to the town of Progres to once again outflank a Ukrainian defensive line, or advancing north towards the highway in order to weaken Toretsk to the north-east, or advance south-west towards the vovcha-river to capture the basically empty fields to the south.

JDAM air-burst munitions exist and are completely consistent with the type of damage shown, no large crater, wide area covered, materials directly underneath the explosion ignited by the mid-air conflagration. The claim that these munitions always cause massive destruction to buildings is also false since JDAMs can be fitted on several types of ordinances including lower yield munitions. The audio of the strike is the most telling so far where you can clearly hear a whistling sound produced by the munition which is consistent with JDAMs and artillery. With artillery you should however hear the gun that fired just before the explosion.

Every war has blocking/policing units behind the front lines, combined with POWs being notoriously unreliable as they can be pressured into false testimonies. I'd take this with a grain of salt.

Got banned from a bunch of reddits, advocating for genocide and the death of Arabs is ok. Telling those advocates that they should kill themselves or that I will do it for them is however uncivil and a ban-able offense.

Strap me to a missile and fire me at the US.

Yes, both on Gaza and Lebanon, they also missed and hit their own fields while trying to hit Lebanon.

I'm fully aware of that, just shouting into the void and hopefully reaching at least one other person who happens to be reading their calls for genocide and being revolted by such a display.

It was r/196, a subreddit dedicated to memes that calls itself "left" but it goes no further than supporting gay/trans rights within the imperial core and perhaps some student loan forgiveness. Now the same person equating the Palestinians to the Nazis compares them to ISIS and I get closer to committing a crime.

I just love looking at so called "leftist" subreddits and seeing Hamas being equated to the Nazis.

Fuck the reeducation camps at this point, Barbara pit 2 electric boogaloo edition lets go.
