He can respond as well, as he already has.

Still clinging to the old habit of deflection and not giving a direct answer to a question, I see.

Russia says it shot down Ukrainian drone near air base

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — The Russian military reported Monday that it shot down a Ukrainian drone approaching an air base deep inside Russia, the second time the facility has been targeted this month — again revealing weaknesses in Russia’s air defenses.

Russia’s Defense Ministry said debris killed three servicemen at the Engels air base, which houses Tu-95 and Tu-160 nuclear-capable strategic bomber planes that have struck Ukraine with missiles in the 10-month-old war.

Russia’s Baza news outlet reported that four people were wounded and said a fire had broken out, with explosions, sirens and flashes on a video it posted on its Telegram channel. The Defense Ministry claimed no Russian aircraft were damaged. It wasn’t clear whether the drone had been launched from Ukraine or Russian territory.

If the drone had been launched from Ukraine, it would have traveled more than 600 kilometers (370 miles) to reach Engels, located in Russia’s Saratov region on the Volga River. Shooting the drone down after such a long trip inside Russia again raises questions about the effectiveness of Russia’s air defenses, particularly those intended to protect its most strategic military assets such as warplanes capable of carrying nuclear weapons.

Ever heard of "under siege".

I think I understand what you mean.
I felt something similar when I came 20 years ago to an atheist forum with my vision of the world where I was literally mixed with dirt.

Some people think or say, that his country is different, maybe so... but politicians are the same; and History too.

Are you sure of this, or convinced of this?
At what point did your opinion become yours?

You say that politics and history are the same, and this assertion is partly true.

However, as always, there are nuances. Look away from the screen and look around, what do you see? Surely, at least you see a computer screen, a table, walls, it's all matter, a substance consisting of only three elements: an electron, a neutron and a proton. But I'm ready to bet that your tongue won't turn, but it won't even cross your mind to say that what you see around you is the same.

Think about it, because the devil is in the details.

So, my point has been taken?

Your point is wrong.

What is the theory that you are defending? I haven't seen your hipotesis anywhere.


And I wonder when someone is going to say this is going off topic...
