Russia’s nationalists are fuming over a slew of attacks on Russian territory which exposed gaps in its defenses and put it on the back foot in its invasion of Ukraine.
The prominent anonymous blogger Rybar said a recent strike on Russia’s Pskov airfield suggests Russia’s air defenses haven’t adapted to stop drone strikes. It criticized authorities for not protecting the valuable aircraft there with hangars, and compared their defenses unfavorably to those in Russian-occupied Crimea, closer to the fighter.
The Russian journalist Alexander Kots said that recent attacks showed there would be no safe place in the parts of Russia that are close to Europe, and that Russia would need to adapt.
Another blogger said that Russia’s airfields should be better protected, and another said Russia should admit the attacks as soon as they happen, rather than be forced into acknowledging them after Ukrainian sources report them.
None of them seem to understand that Russia can stop these attacks at any time by leaving Ukrainian territory.
You’re trying to reason with a bunch of ultra nationalists, alcoholics, and drug addicts.
That’s not happening.
ultra nationalists, alcoholics, and drug addicts
But you repeat yourself.
As a former drug addict I resent being compared to any kind of nationalist.
I’ll take an alcoholic or a drug addict over an ultranationalist.
Man, it must suck to be a nationalist for such an embarrassingly inept nation.
And yet, they keep going. We’re still kind of in alpha release as a species.
The one “benefit” of authoritarian governments is that they always purge the most competent people in a race to the bottom.
Well, the great silver lining of being a nationalist is that it’s always someone else’s fault when something doesn’t go your way. There’s always an “other” to blame.
On one hand, my interests and values couldn’t diverge from that of Russian nationalists any further
On the other hand, I love me some infighting among the Russians; the less they’re on the same page, the better
Just wait till they get the F-16s & make all the Russian air defenses within range of Ukraine go POOF.
You bearfuckers just think you’ve seen drone strikes.
Cope & seethe, fash. You’re welcome to leave at any time.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Since when were F-16s immune to anti-air?
Nothing is completely immune to AA, but F-16’s excel at SEAD missions & that will allow the existing Ukrainian AF to use their MIGs more effectively.
Proud patriots yell about frontline from home toilet (assuming they have one)
They are IN their toilet. Their sorry excuse for a right-wing country is one big waterless toilet that constantly overflows and spills over.
waterless
overflows and spills over
Your metaphor needs some work.
I think you never seen Novosibirsk school with toiled made with technolody “hole in the floor”.

Russian hardliners are fuming that the Kremlin wasn’t able to top a string of embarrassing attacks on home soil
I know it’s just a spelling error, but it seems appropriate somehow :)
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Russia’s nationalists are fuming over a slew of attacks on Russian territory which exposed gaps in its defenses and put it on the back foot in its invasion of Ukraine.
The blowback was picked up by the respected Institute for the Study of War think tank, which described it in an update on Wednesday.
It criticized authorities for not protecting the valuable aircraft there with hangars, and compared their defenses unfavorably to those in Russian-occupied Crimea, closer to the fighter.
They typically agree with the aims of the war, but voice frustration at Russia’s inability to defeat Ukraine more quickly.
Their anger was prompted by an increasing number of drone attacks, likely organized by Ukraine or Ukraine-affiliated groups.
And some of these strikes have destroyed and damaged Russian military aircraft sitting on home soil.

I’m guessing that some Russian bloggers may lose their balance when near windows.
