Sounded like some sort of convention.AgLA06 said:

Extremely dumb since Russia has shown they couldn't care less about civilian lives and were probably eager to blow up a theater on a beautiful Saturday morning in the middle of a large city.
Quote:
At least seven people were killed, including a 6-year-old girl, while 12 children were among the 117 wounded, acting mayor Oleksandr Lomanko said.
Quote:
Many victims in the attack had been on their way to church to celebrate the Ukrainian Catholic holiday the Feast of the Transfiguration when the strike took place.
But it is clear that the Russians launching those missiles and those giving them orders in the middle of the day to the civilian city realised that the victims will be primarily civilians.
"There is no other way to interpret it than a war crime against civilians, yet another Russian war crime."
The United Nations' humanitarian coordinator for Ukraine, Denise Brown, said: "It is heinous to attack the main square of a large city, in the morning, while people are out walking, some going to the church to celebrate a religious day for many Ukrainians.
"I condemn this repeated pattern of Russian strikes on populated areas of Ukraine, causing deaths, massive destruction and soaring humanitarian needs."
The building struck by a ballistic missile was allegedly hosting a drone exhibition at the time.
President Zelensky said of the attack: "A Russian missile hit right in the center of the city, in our Chernihiv. A square, the polytechnic university, a theater.
"An ordinary Saturday, which Russia turned into a day of pain and loss."
So not a military event. Just a drone convention for civilians?
Oh I wouldn't say that at all.AgLA06 said:

It was a "Drone Demo Day."
Quote:
Berlinska said it was not a public exhibition but "a closed meeting of engineers, military and volunteers on military tech for the frontline."
"We are now working with the Security Service of Ukraine providing all needed information for a prompt investigation," she added.Quote:
"As soon (as) the air raid siren went on, the event was stopped and participants were told a number of times they need to go to the shelter. Unfortunately, some people still went outside. Everyone who went to the shelter is safe. Me personally, I entered the shelter a minute before the hit," she said.
However, Klymenko said, "Everyone who was inside the drama theater went down to the shelter in time. The National Police officers tried to get everyone into the shelter after the air raid was announced."

How effing stupid do you have to be to be in a war for survival and post on effing Facebook that a drone conclave will be held in the city theater. death toll up to over 120. The Utes need training on OPSEC!!!!!!!!
yep, my bad. still doesn't excuse the stupidity
The feast of the transfiguration was 2 weeks ago.
I'm not sure if people genuinely believe someone is going to say, "Wow, if some people say I'm a moron for not believing this, it clearly must be true."
It's not much a persuasive argument. It really just sounds like a bunch of miniature dachshunds barking because the first one one barked when it thought it heard something.

TRANSFIGURATION OF OUR LORD ( SPAS , Second SPAS, APPLE SPAS ) On August 19 ( according to the new order) Ukrainians celebrate the feast of Transfiguration.

I only know when our church celebrated.

I believe it's the release between the two bombs.
That's the best thing I've seen in ages

Oleshky. Andrew Perpetua has been fairly reliable, too.
I haven't updated this part of the map since the last time I have confirmed info (which is how I always update things, if I have no info then things don't change). The Ukrainian area of control is likely larger and Russian extent of control further south. pic.twitter.com/ssiRr9RZfU

Another example of why videos released by either side should be taken with a grain of salt until verified by other means.
This video supposedly came from RU 7th GMAAD, and after looking at the Zapo front for a while, we concluded it was not the right area. So we looked at Kherson direction. And after hours of looking, @bragachaves05 found the location.

My understanding is they're all Dutch birds. Providing "up to 42" will mean reactivating ones fairly recently put into storage and sending their currently active ones, too. Those and the Danish F-16s have all received the MLU so while still not cutting-edge 4th gen fighters, they're nonetheless far superior in most respects to the MIG-29.Not a Bot said:74OA said:
Denmark pledges nineteen F-16 transfers to Ukraine.
FIGHTERS
Up to 42 from the Netherlands.
MORE
The Netherlands doesn't have 42 operational F-16s. Assuming they are the middlemen for an unnamed third country.

More details on the strategic bomber taken out deep inside Russia.
TU-22
I laugh when I read the RuZZian articles about the "terrorist" attacks by Ukraine. The RuZZians are high on Krokodil

Why did all the Pro-Russian posters suddenly start popping back up in here?
Because their thread went bye bye. I would recommend to not engage them much if we want this thread to keep going.TH36 said:

TU-22 is more or less contemporary with the old F111.
The TU-160 is the B1 more or less equivalent. That is B1a fast version, not so much B1b low altitude lower radar signature version.

WOW. Talk about deadly efficient.
‼️The RuZZian attempt to attack at #Klishchiivka was destroyed right from the start! Precisely 🇺🇦#Ukrainian artillery destroyed two T-80BV tanks, two BMP-2 and an unknown number of RuZZian infantry!💪🏻🪖💥🧌
