Your Friendly Z-Guide To War Crimes, chapter 276: Killing Medics and Firefighters.

1. Shell / bomb at a civilian target
2. Wait until medics and firefighters arrive
3. Shell / bomb the same target again.

Done countless times, this time caught on a video. Who said they are all untrained? Not so.

I don't know the validity of this, but I found it interesting regarding resources, sanctions and the like.

Interesting if not wholly, accurately informative.

Russians near Alaska and other spots way far north:

Various articles (including this one), say it's normal for the Russians to probe the neutral zone (I forget its technical name) several times of year, to practice drills and test response times. We knew this set was coming, and Russia publicized it, too. Some nice photos of a classic Tu-95, and... what's the nickname of the Tu-160, the Swan?

white swan iirc.  still not as good as a B-1b.

Another senior Russian official falls out of a window.

Don't know how Putin thinks Russia is going to be an empire again if he can't even fix the windows...;)

That's the Russian version of a, 'Golden Parachute'.

Russians perfected that in Syria, double tapping bomb sites to get the rescue workers.

Yeesh, that track looks like a Bigfoot clan threw a kegger and produced a lot of new little foots -- several years in a row!

Not entirely relevant to this thread, tho, despite the (perhaps understandably) short-sighted hashtag appeal.

Ah! -- ironically, I think I rejected that being the proper title for thinking I was mixing it up in my memory with a classic Ace Combat boss!  https://acecombat.fandom.com/wiki/White_Bird_(Part_II)

While looking for the proper name of that AC5 boss, I discovered the White Swan is playable in one of the modern Ace Combat games!
