If deals can be made there are about +-40 Mig 29 for Ukraine, although the 10 odd from Bulgaria is problematic. The 10 from Slovakia would be the easiest deal followed by Polands 20 odd.

False flag since we are talking about an assault on a town in Russia prime.

False flag operation to subdue the populace in my opinion, but we'll see as the story unfolds. No pics?

False flag to achieve what though? It might be fake and time will tell, however it makes some sense for Ukraine to run small raiding parties across the border to destroy essential Russian infrastructure, it will force Russia to reposition some of its troops away from the frontline battles.

I am for the raiding parties but it seems a civilian target is being attacked which leans more Russian false flag.

Russia will claim it's civilian, even if it's not. Hostages make sense if needed to help with retreat

Likely to quell brewing discontent with decision to go to war. It's not beyond Russian military but I see your point.

Given the targets, I'd very definitely lean towards false flag.

Ukraine would setup raiding parties without a doubt, but their targets won't be an electrical substation or a gas station... they would target oil storage and transiting facilities and major logistical hubs.
Also why would the raiding party wear yellow arm bands? This also smacks of amateurish Russian attempts at blaming.

Ukraine has now also switched to wearing green arm bands due to instances were Russian / Wagner units masqueraded as Ukrainian soldiers near Bucha. So wearing yellow might get you shot by Ukranian soldiers at the moment.

You guys keep saying false flag but arent answering to what end? Ukraine have attacked gas and substations with drones before so that doesnt seem surprising, anyway lets wait and see before speculating further.

No thats not how it works, different coloured tape bands represent different units/army groups. Blue, yellow and green are commonly used.

No they haven't... they are referred to as floppy's in the rest of the world. I'm surprised you don't know that, given how keyed into Russian Military operations you are.

Nope, they were originally called stiffy's. Shows how long I've been around. Floppy disks is what preceded stiffy's. Typical child, assumes their opinion is correct.
 
Seems that things got a little hotter, Ukraine have taken hostages in a border town in Russia. Russia has convened an emergency meeting of the Duma so anything could come out of there. The A-50 (Russian version of the AWACS) has also taken off, apparently this wasn't actually damaged in the recent UAV attack as claimed by Ukraine who said it was destroyed.

Favourite vodka flavors is my bet.
