So... War Thunder forum strikes again and this time secret SU-57 documents are published. Documents which say the SU-57, Russias greatest and latest plane, a jet designed around stealthiness, is about... 100x less stealthy than F-35s, or comparable to 30 years old Eurofighters 🤣
@AllegedKurd
it also reveals that the Su-57 has, at worst, an RCS cross-section of about 0.1-1 m^2. which for a "stealth" aircraft is really, really bad LMAO
Sentinel-1 data suggests that

Still hard to pinpoint the source, but the interferences recorded by the C-SAR satellites are among the strongest ever detected and have a unique pattern.

Article was (obviously) updated soon after it was published (removing any precise mention of Russian losses)... Guess internal struggles are going on in the government, military and media.
CLIO, the yacht owned by Oleg Deripaska, was missed by terrestrial ais receivers but has a more up-do-date position for her, suggesting she could now be in the Baa Atoll (Maldives),close to where NIRVANA of Vladimir Potanin is

Navy day in Italy and got to get on board of this beauty. Crew got chatty and was very proud of their world class Anti Submarine perf. told of how they got to track for 3 months a Russian sub without ever losing contact for all its time in the med. Kicked it back in the Black Sea
Wow !!! Russian intelligence must be really good, not as if US president said so publicly in the first week of war... Or if every 3 days there was a US pentagon source bragging about it :)
The extreme irony if this turns out to be true is that precious space in Russia best military shipyard (which would work on replacement) is currently taken by.... Putin's yacht GRACEFUL who had to run from Hamburg and took the place of a frigate in Yantar shipyard in Kaliningrad
The head of the Odessa Regional Administration also claims that a Russian Slava-class guided missile cruiser "Moskva" was hit with Ukrainian R-360 Neptun anti-ship cruise missile/s.
Lol.... No wonder Russian movies suck, they have huge issues in the script writing department....
If this was the plot of a movie it will star Steven Seagal and would be rated 2.1 on IMDB
Seen some doubtful of F16 usefulness for Ukraine but we have a very recent example:
Just a handful of years ago Pakistani geriatric F16s equipped with old AIM 120 repelled a flock of modern Indian SU-30s .
Russian hardware always sucks, just need to have the means to reveal it
Went a bit deeper with the missile thing and while videos aren't really my thing thought it would get the point across more clearly.
Missile WAS a Kh-101.

Eh... good question...
Remember when some months ago we got videos from Moscow of Pantsir being installed on various rooftops ? Well.....
In Moscow, a Russian Pantsir-S1 anti-aircraft missile system has been placed on the roof of a building of the Central District Department of Education on Teterinsky Lane, for the reasons so far unknown.

AIS data shows Putin 80 meters yacht "GRACEFUL" in Sochi during summer 2020 and Google Earth has images of it for summer 2020, 19,18 and 16. AIS then shows it moving to Barcelona in autumn 2020, possibly did the same in previous years too given sat images.

While the Russians consider it a win, if you stop to think about it for a second...
Not only the Ukrainians still have Bayraktars (🇷🇺 claims they shot down 300% of 🇺🇦 fleet), but they are so confident about them (and crappiness of 🇷🇺 AD) that they are sending them over RUSSIA !

Not only the wings, but if you look hard enough you will notice that also the characteristic "lump" just in front of the wings matches perfectly.
This is a very positive thing, western support to Ukraine is having the effect of exposing the shortcomings of our military industry allowing us to fix them. Updated stinger seeker is very long due, tech has made huge progress and it will be much faster to design a better seeker.
Because US hasn't bought Stingers in 20 years and many components are obsolete, Raytheon CEO Greg Hayes says the company will have to redesign components in the missile and seeker head if it wants to replenish stocks given to Ukraine. "That’s going to take some time," he said.
This.
The idea that Russia shown or is showing any kind of restraint is ridiculous and completely ignorant. Restraint was imposed on Russia by heroic defense efforts and embarrassing strategical and tactical choices.
A truly confused story that can’t separate what the Russian military is unable to do from what it’s choosing to do. Claims that Putin is showing ‘restraint’ in his war with Ukraine. What restraint? .

Sanzioni contro la Russia:
A Trieste, nel rimessaggio del porto, è stato sequestrato dalla Guardia di Finanza lo yacht a vela più grande del mondo, del valore di 530 milioni di euro. Lo "SY A" è riconducibile all'imprenditore russo Andrey Igorevich Melnichenko.
Just as Ukraine has the right to defend itself against Russian occupation, the Palestinian people also have the right to resist occupation that has persisted for decades.
This could be the first trace of one of the IL76 claimed to have been shot down by Ukraine in the first days of the conflict. If it turns out to be true, many here will have to apologize to Ukrainian armed forces....
