This is some interesting reading. An internal FSB report reveals many of the suspicions and worries the Russians have regarding China, including espionage and revanchist territorial claims that China might have eastern Siberia.

Generally speaking, we have our shit in buildings, not out on a tarmac day to day.  

I think that's wrong.  Just put into Google Maps "Minot AFB," "Barksdale AFB," and "Dyess AFB" and count the number of B-52 are out on the flight line of the first two and how many B-1s are on the flight line at Dyess.

And to be real honest, I don't see just a whole lot in the way of hardened shelters for the aircraft at those bases.  I see the hardened shelters for the weapons.  But it looks like those would be driven to the flight line and loaded on to the aircraft.

At this point Russia is wondering where all it will come from next.

And taking out locomotive power is an underrated thing.  You can't just go down to the dealership and buy new ones off the lot.  Choo, choo, Motherfucker!

so i saw on a youtube channel that the nuke bombers under the START II Treaty are required to be easily photographed from space to show Russia (and in reciprocation, US) that the other are not hiding bombers other than the times they are on a mission.   

meaning the bombers cant be under cover, or in hardened shelters, they have to be visible to both sides.

interestingly enough, Putin declared the START Treaty void back in 22 when he attacked Ukraine.    so that may mean we start hiding the bombers.

because heres the deal... Ukr just showed how a group with low budget could take out Capital assets.

the vid I showed basically said that going forward, the air force will have no choice but to declare no trucks are allowed to idle or rest within at least 15 miles of a US air base without having been cleared.... thats gonna cause all kinds of security chaos forcing truckers to move just in case one of them

and it also means we have to be on the lookout of hidden drones on maritime shipping that just happens to go near Guam, Hawaii, Alaska, Diego Garcia, Marshall Islands, etc

Ukr just showed a very simple road map to take out millions of dollars of planes for pennies on the dollar. 

There was an article in one of the threads here that discussed same. Basically, the Nuke treaties had a requirement on being able to verify aircraft, and that only certain named bases could house them.

Over the years, I have updated my Google Earth to include all of the Air Bases I have been to or have some knowledge about things that have happened. I've done similar things to O&G facilities I've been to, and others of significance.

I'm glad Bergstrom is no longer an AFB, and the only explosive proximate to my domain is the buried propane tank and a few gas cans.

The other thing I was thinking about is the result of the urgently pressing need to search and investigate every box and cargo plane and railcar and truck in Russia.

We know that the entire country is built upon theft and graft of government property and private property.  It seems impossible to me that the thorough ongoing inspections will not catch some of that theft and black market transportation.  Or they will examine the bills of lading and find out there is only half of the promised cargo.      I’m sure you can always bribe local people to let you steal things, but now the local people are going to be subservient to state security services looking through everything.

This has to be bad for the Russian national sport of crime-ing.

And it's a great way to find fresh meat for the front lines - somebody fucking around with stolen stuff or caught bribing or being bribed is headed to Ukraine.

The bigger picture - it will ramp the paranoia up to 11, because now they've had drones in cargo trucks, in train cars, and the FSB have to be flipping out over what's next - drones hidden in a warehouse near or in Moscow maybe?

That rumor has been making the rounds but it's 100% made up. Treaty says nothing about bombers needing to be photographed.

️At least two Ukrainian "Liutyi" kamikaze drones struck the "VNIIR-Progress" enterprise in the Russian city of Cheboksary.
💥The facility develops navigation receivers and antennas used for both civilian and military purposes, particularly in UAVs and the Iskander-M and Kalibr missile systems.

🇺🇦 According to Germany’s BILD, a Russian Su-35 shot down in Russia’s Kursk Oblast by a Ukrainian F-16 was first detected by a Swedish-made Saab 340 AEW&C (Airborne Early Warning and Control) aircraft, recently transferred to Ukraine. The Saab 340 reportedly identified the Su-35 from nearly 300 kilometers away and transmitted the target’s coordinates to the F-16 pilot, enabling the successful strike.

I'll read the article soon, but from your summary I'm shocked by these developments. There is simply NO WAY the Chinese would invest time and energy on stealing tactical and technical military as well as IP knowledge from their BFFs the Russians. I just can't believe that to be the case!

Knowing the Russians, and how they store equipment, they are probably too cheap to have hangar space for everything anyways (not that we do, but we at least maintain our stuff and we do it well).

Russians may start parking their hangar queens out in the open to soak up drones and keeping the good stuff inside.

So @Schulz2.0 that first target is the area circled in red on this map, with Ukraine's boarder on the left in red.  Moscow is the poop drawing or whatever somebody drew.

Wonder why they aren't hitting Moscow - the drones in the video were big enough to go the distance and not be launched from trucks or rail cars (and they didn't look too stealthy).

My only guess is that Moscow probably has 50% (or more) of all Russian air defense hardware circling it.  They are hitting targets that degrade Russian military infrastructure, and unless Moscow/Putin gives up some of those air defense systems, they have a lot of fairly unguarded targets to choose from.

Still want to see the Kremlin in flames.

I wonder if Ukraine can get its hand on some Chinese made drones and use them to attack Russian assets in far east Siberia.   Then deny they had anything to do with it.

Yep.  Last time American-made aircraft shot down Russian-operated MiGs would have been the 70s (Vietnam), but there is a possibility that Russians were in the cockpits of some of the Arab MiGs the Israelis fought later on.
