Russian channels already claiming it was an F-16 that shot down the Russian fighter jet 🙃
"Our Su-34 was shot down. The crew was killed. The airplane was shot down while dropping glide bombs, about 50 km from the front line. Our Su-34 was shot down apparently by an F-16, which was over enemy-controlled territory. There will be more such losses soon. NATO has released F-16s for hunting. Now there will be less FABs flying. Consequently, the losses of our infantry will increase."
A reminder that not all russians support putin's war

🇷🇺 Boris Nemtsov opposed Putin & was murdered 8yrs ago. His message was strong & true, even more today. #StopPutin
Russia has only ever successfully fired the SARNAT once, over two years ago. Every other test has failed, including the latest one. The Russian military is degrading, fast.

Ukraine has taken more ground in the last several days than Russia has done in the last 6 months at a fraction of the cost.
How embarrassing for Russia.
How is that 3 day war going?

“Russia transfers the operational reserve from Ukraine’s Kherson, Zaporizhzhya, Kupyan, Kharkiv, Belgorod, Pokrovsky & Luhansk directions to the Kursk region.”
👉 I bet this is about to work out very badly for Russia.

Russians been very quiet the past few days about "negotiations with taking realities on the ground into account".

Zelenskyy alluded to this being legit. Wait for confirmation but HUR hitting Russia in the Arctic at a distance of 1,800km is no small thing. thebarentsobserver.com/en/se…

Russian forces are massively moving equipment closer to the Kerch Bridge, according to Ukrainian partisan movement "Atesh." They are relocating surviving air defense systems, aviation, radars, and military facilities from the western part of Crimea towards the strategic crossing. Partisans report that the occupiers can only cover one area of the peninsula due to a critical shortage of air defense systems.
Looks like this is the hardest sept to graduate into for a generation.
