Going to make Russia mad!
Twitter links in the article with a bunch videos.
U.S. officials have told The War Zone in the recent past that targets in Crimea are fair game for Ukrainian forces using advanced U.S. weapons. The U.S. sees Crimea as illegally occupied by Russia and no different than the territory it holds in eastern Ukraine. As such, all military targets are fair game, as well as critical infrastructure it relies on to keep its war machine and occupation efforts running. While some Ukrainian officials claim their military carried out an attack on the base, it is not unheard of for major accidents at Russian ammunition supply depots to occur, although the chances of that being the case are relatively slim in this instance. However, Novofedorovka is about 124 miles (200 kilometers) from the front lines. https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/russian-airbase-in-crimea-erupts-in-massive-explosions |

Oh no, so sad.
The Largest Russian Air Force loss since ww2 and financially probably about 500 million dollars. |

But whatever they do they are not to use those advanced weapons to attack targets across the border in Russia.

I really fucking worry about how much of the shit we are sending them is winding up the hands of people we really do not want having it.

Technically anything within 200 miles of Ukraines original borders are fair game, including Russia and Belarus. Therefore Ukraine can attack Minsk and Sochi with weapons if they want.

I don't really care. We already gave it to them, they might as well use it to be maximally effective.

Quoted: I really fucking worry about how much of the shit we are sending them is winding up the hands of people we really do not want having it. View Quote Considering what was abandoned in Afghanistan and given for free to terrorist groups that for sure will use it against the US in their first opportunity, does it really make a difference? Ukrainians are selling a good part of the stuff they get anyways. So, just a bit more to the pile. I just hope that they are used first against the politicians that decided to abandon and/or send that stuff over there. |

I wonder where things will be in a year or two on that front.
Crimea is a big deal, since 2014 since it was used as a staging area for this 2022 assault. |

I'm shocked Moscow isn't getting mail bombs and subway attacks.
Reap what you sow. |

Ukrainians should be sabotaging and blowing up shit all over Mother Russia.

Quoted: Russia was always going to win. Give it another month, those 1km a month gains will turn into 2km. It's a war of attrition, and Russia emptying prisons shows they can pull it off.

I think Russia emptying prisons shows just how desperate they are, and how few options they have to obtain more meat to feed into the Ukrainian grinder. |

Hopefully we're keeping a sharp eye on all our CONUS infrastructure. Certainly seems waaaay too easy to access such things and harm them in a 'non attributable' manner.

View Quote By all accounts the Ukraine invasion or at least the current resuts of same, is not very popular IN Russia. Directly attacking the populace at THIS point might galvanize support for the war rather than allow its unpopularity to perhaps hasten a withdrawl. |

If only those advance weapon systems included land fired Tomahawk missiles which have just enough range to fuck Moscow and St Petersburg.

View Quote Actually If the rooshins wanted to have a chance at interrupting the supply of advanced weapons from the US to the UKR, employing a an America hating third party to use a jav or a stingy to hit an hvt conus would certainly start that conversation. Lets hope that doesn't happen. |

Why don't we stay the fuck out of this shit?

"Why" would we not want an America hating non state actor to get their hands on something like an advanced MANPAD? I guarantee you that even the folks greenlighting the supply to the Ukranians think of that possibility |
