In the past week I've seen multiple statements from different Russian officials that confirm that Russia is now intending to fully annex every Ukrainian region it occupies, with a condition.
Condition: if it occupies more territories, it will annex those too.
In other news: Russia started testing its 5th gen Su-57 fighter jets in Ukrainian airspace, using the unified data link between the jets to scout and target Ukrainian air defenses.
>Russia started testing its 5th gen Su-57 fighter jets in Ukrainian airspace, using the unified data link between the jets to scout and target Ukrainian air defenses. Somehow I'm extremely skeptical of that claim, losing an Su 57 would be the biggest embarrassment possible, I don't think they'd risk it.

No one cares bro. Ukraine was so …… April. We gas pump price now.
Nathaniel Wilson
If they don't annex Donetsk/Luhansk/Kharkiv/Nikolayev/Odessa/Kherson/Zaporizhaya/Dnipropetrovsk it would be a slap in the face of the Ukrainians who endured 8 years of NATO warfare against them. The Ukraine Jews can stay in Israel where they belong.
design and build something that you will never use because "you're too scared to lose it" yeah that makes sense
Adrian Brooks
they already tested Su57 in Syria several years ago.
Hunter Russell
>losing an Su 57 would be the biggest embarrassment possible, I don't think they'd risk it. you think they would want to find out all of its vulnerabilities and fix them
Liam Perry
I'm sure the Su-57s main role is locating and targeting enemy drones so linked-in Su-27s can shoot them down. They can also fire long range standoff weapons, but the MiG-31 is already in use anyway for that purpose.
Liam Thomas
Yeah I know but Syria isn't Ukraine, Syria was like a game's tutorial level.
Chase Wood
>Yeah I know but Syria isn't Ukraine, Syria was like a game's tutorial level. The USA's first test of the F-117 was in Panama, because they knew Panama didn't have much air defense. So yeah these wars turn out to be opportunities to test new stuff, like all wars.
Ryan Perez
And then they got fucked by an old ass 60s soviet AA defense system lmao
Kayden Nelson
>Yeah I know but Syria isn't Ukraine, Syria was like a game's tutorial level. Yes and no. There was always a threat that Israel or Turkey could target Russian jets. Plus, one of Russia's bombers was shot down by Turkish airforce.
But since Russia tested Su57 in Syria years ago, it's only logically it would progress to the next level in Ukraine.
Lucas Ward
They only have six (6) of them.
Connor Green
SU-57 really look dope tho. Almost equals the best fighting jet in the world aka Rafale in terms of beauty.
Logan Peterson
>They only have six (6) of them. I highly doubt their numbers are publicly available
Alexander Hughes
>They only have six (6) of them. That we know of. Its not like Russia broadcasts how many they have of everything. Remember when 2 months ago they said russia would run out of missiles. Russia's fired 1700 missiles so far and they don't seem to be running out.
Jonathan Nelson
They have 2 that are operational at best
Mason Kelly
>I don't think they'd risk it.
they are already not afraid of ukie AA
Ian King
Lol NATO tranny they have like 50+ it's confidential, but sure a dickless faggot knows better..
James Johnson
Have sex Chud.
Cameron Harris
We're talking about Russia here, if anything you have to assume the numbers are lower. They used to repaint new numbers on their VTOL jets to make the west think they've got more of them.
Knowing it's their newest jet they'll probably be extra careful. But we also saw russians lose modern jets just because they flied low enough to drop unguided bombs.
Dont konw about annexing. But they will have new buffer states Donetsk poples republic and Luhansk p.r. They will probably have some kind of autonomy ofcourse whit pro Russian people.
John Perez
>We're talking about Russia here, if anything you have to assume the numbers are lower. Sure, like the numbers of their Kalibr cruise missiles that apparently ran out of stock 2 months ago, but are still hitting Ukraine on a daily basis. kek >They used to repaint new numbers on their VTOL jets to make the west think they've got more of them. kek, why not just remove numbers then? What if they tried to conceal the relationship of the jets to their units instead? >But we also saw russians lose modern jets just because they flied low enough to drop unguided bombs. They threw unguided bombs hundreds of times per day in Syria over a span of several years. Imagine how many jets they'd lose if your story was true.
Jordan Roberts
How long before that Russian businessman gets served some polonium sushi
Jason Young
Yeah and a month ago they were apparently losing the war decisively
Christopher Lewis
They are still losing big time. Zelensky said they lose up to 500 vatnik soldiers a day. I am thinking he is low balling it and it's closer to 700 a day.
Caleb Martinez
>bounty on putin how is Putin related to this even? You think the war will stop if Putin leaves or dies? kek
Andrew Thompson
>Zelensky said they lose up to 500 vatnik soldiers a day. if Russia would be losing 500 per day, they wouldn't be able to occupy the territories they occupy today. Smells like Zelensky cope
Matthew Jenkins
>words of a kike As worthless as boat heading down niagra falls
Carter Jones
Its pretty much a perfect place to test them, Ukraine hardly has any air defenses at all if any.
Colton Brooks
>Zelensky said And I stopped reading here
Juan Turner
>kek, why not just remove numbers then? What if they tried to conceal the relationship of the jets to their units instead? Cause they park them bellow the deck of their only aircraft carrier retard, they had a handful of Yak-s and wanted to make it seem like they've got more. >Imagine how many jets they'd lose if your story was true. Are you denying they lost modern jets like the Su 30 and Su 34 because of absolute retardation?
Josiah Campbell
Russia hasn't moved an inch since March if anything they have lost most of the land they occupy as well as most of their elite force and best weaponry, this is a war of attrition Chud, Russia has at best 1 month left of supplies to fight this war, by then Ukraine will begin their counteroffensive. See you during the spring pride parade in Moscow ;)
Jackson Walker
I am thinking you are an idiot. There's only 200k Russian troops in Ukraine. Russia wouldn't be able to continue the operation or hold any terrority with that many losses. Tldr, you're an absolute fking idiot
Julian Gonzalez
Must be noon in Tel-aviv apparently, a jew is shitposting while enjoying his gefilte and perogis.
Tyler Bennett
>They used to repaint new numbers on their VTOL jets to make the west think they've got more of them. wouldnt that just ensure they are fucked in an actual war? like oh shit I thought you faggots had 50 of yours so I brought 75 of mine... but turns out you only have 6!
Ryder Morales
The Allies during WWII would have inflatable tanks and wooden artillery piece decoys. Its all part of warfare, making the enemy mis-count your stuff.
Aiden Morgan
These guys are bots 100%

The USSR employed a lot of deception to make them seem stronger than they are, it acted as a deterrent.
Jason Robinson
It has a lot of air defences and their air defences are actually pretty decent. They avoid using their own radar capabilities, relying on NATO data, and generally try and preserve what air defences they have. It's why our airforce, while still naturally not being as important as the US airforce for the US doctrine, doesn't do quite as much as they could and generally prefers to fling rockets from safety, not go in vast bombing runs - it's dangerous and wasteful to fly Tu-22Ms in an air that filled with rockets that can shoot it down. And they can - Ukrainians just a few days ago downed their own jet. Incidentally he also said Ukraine's losing 600 a day. 100 dead, 500 wounded. The real count obviosuly is higher even if he was telling the world what he was told, since, naturally, no army can accurately, in a conflict like this, know their losses.
David Jones
>The USSR employed a lot of deception to make them seem stronger than they are, it acted as a deterrent. Then again, the USSR was a lot stronger than the USA. Thats why the US strategy was to basically nuke the shit out of europe to stop a Soviet advance and make it so radioactive that it wasn't worth taking. And the moronic europeans went along with this idea.
Joseph Davis
In an actual war jet numbers would matter for a very limited time since nukes would come into play. Also, our big war doctrine generally assumes we won't have air control and we respond assymetrically, relying on strong AA and artillery, not trying to match the NATO airforce.
