Yes, its well known that the general Russian military approach has no concern for civilian deaths and in fact targeting civilians is often part of their strategy like we saw in Grozny, Syria and other conflicts But its always unsettling and sad to witness it .

Yes I've seen these stories too, including first-hand reports documented by human rights groups operating inside Ukraine. Putin's propaganda campaign to villify the Ukrainian people coupled with their vaunted military prowess being mocked the world over has clearly pushed many Russian soldiers over the top. In so many reports the civilian deaths are not accidental but deliberate. They're literally pointing their weapons at innocent civilians and opening fire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, not sure why the gunner did that, the vehicle halted after he blew a tree up, not as if they were rushing the convoy. Why using the cannon as a warning shot is also puzzling (although I guess that does get attention..). Poor training or jumpiness, happens a lot. Why has elegance found so little following?

pmp10 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 (edited) Yet another complete turnaround by the polish government then. That they would try to hide behind US with this, after decades of 'evil Russia' rhetoric might just be a new low for the ruling party. And I'm pretty sure it is too late for them to do much good by now. Edited March 8, 2022 by pmp10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totally not Gorgon Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Those planes might make the difference between surrounding the big cities and starving them out, or not. They aren't going to beat the Russian air force on their own, but along with a large infusion of SAMs. They could make a huge difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to US intel Russian SAM coverage has already been established. Besides Russian air force is not as active as was expected so need for interceptors is questionable. Now if they get to transfer Su-25s from Bulgaria that could actually count for something. Edited March 8, 2022 by pmp10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjshae Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 The Mig-29 has ground attack capability. It's possible it may give the Ukraine better cross-border strike capabilities, so they can attack Russian logistics and other targets. They would also be in range of Moscow from Kyiv.
