Ukraine on Sunday said its forces hit an ultra-modern Russian warplane stationed on an air base nearly 600 kilometers (370 miles) from the front lines, after its Western allies allowed Kyiv to use their weapons for limited strikes inside Russia.

Kyiv’s main military intelligence service shared satellite photos it said showed the aftermath of the attack. If confirmed, it would mark Ukraine’s first known successful strike on a Su-57 fighter plane, a twin-engine stealth fighter lauded as Moscow’s most advanced military aircraft.

In one photo, black soot marks and small craters can be seen dotting a concrete strip around the parked aircraft. According to the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense, the strike took place on Saturday at the Akhtubinsk base in southern Russia, some 589 kilometers (366 miles) from the front line.

And that would be the second violation after a warning. Time for a break.

How is that breaking civility rules but your post right here is fine? https://lemmy.world/comment/10541760

Saying a question is stupid is not uncivil. Saying a person is stupid is uncivil.

And asking why all Westerners are okay with invasions except when Russia does it is a stupid question because it's obviously not true based on anyone who has paid attention to protests in Western countries when those countries invade other countries.

And if you really have an issue with that, you are free to take it up with lemmy.world admins.

I’m just saying this feels like a “who watches the watchmen” type of deal. You’re like the biggest power user on this website and I see you bickering with people in the comments of every post with more than 30 replies.

That’s kind of a poor response, no? You’re happy to contribute more written material than Stephen King on a good day but you don’t want to talk about your tendency to pick fights?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

No, I am not interested in the fight you are trying to pick with me.

You know what to do if you have an issue with my moderation.
