Could A-10 Warthog / APKWS II Combination Solve Ukraine’s Shahed Problem?

“Kill markings” on US A-10s returning from the Middle East suggested they had downed Iranian Shahed-type drones using repurposed laser guided surface-to-air rockets in an air-to-air role.

These planes would win the war alone IMO

The Kremlin though would protest, melt down & threaten nuclear war..again

🔥 #Russia is losing control of #Crimea just as it loses key energy sites. After Ukrainian drone strikes, #Feodosiya’s largest oil depot is still burning, and #Simferopol’s thermal power plant is out of action. 💥 No electricity, no fuel, and a failed blitzkrieg unraveling Russia from the inside.

Blimey! Imagine that your life sucks so bad, that you make a selfie-murder video rather than, oh... I don't know, try to surrender and survive? That's russkiy mir for you. Totally fucked up.

Two years after Hamas’s brutal attack, Gaza’s guns are silent—and the last hostages are home.
Trump is taking a victory lap for “everlasting peace,” but Gaza’s still in ruins, and both sides are holding their breath.
This isn’t peace. It’s a pause.

Why don’t they just surrender 🤷🏻‍♂️

Obviously a logistical nightmare for Ukraine if they have to detain most the russian army

1/ A Russian soldier has recorded a video in advance of his own anticipated murder, speaking about how his commander has executed and buried other members of his unit, as well as hoarding aid meant for the soldiers. The speaker has since disappeared and is now likely dead too. ⬇️

😵‍💫 Peskov: The launch of "Tomahawks" requires the involvement of US specialists, so the delivery of these missiles to Kyiv could really end badly.

🐴 Lavrov: Bashar Assad and his family are in Russia for strictly humanitarian reasons, he was threatened with physical violence.
