The United Kingdom’s Defense Ministry says Russian forces are likely to create an “elite” aviation group to operate in Ukraine as part of its war against the neighboring country.

In a Twitter thread on Monday, the UK’s Ministry of Defence said that the aviation group, referred to as “Shtorm,” will likely consist of at least one unit of Su-24 FENCER and Su-34 FULLBACK fighter-bombers and a unit of attack helicopters.

“The mix of aircraft types suggests the group will have a primary role of ground attack missions,” the ministry said.

British intelligence also cited Russian media reports which suggest that Russia’s own ministry of defense is aiming to “attract highly skilled and motivated pilots by offering large pay incentives and opening recruitment to retired aviators.”

Poster Comment:

The helicopters run electronic interference. The fighter bombers drop guided 1,100 and 3,300 pound bombs. Russia is dropping 25 to 30 guided bombs a day. Guided bombs have a 40 Km range so they only drop in safe area near the frontlines. This group might be dropping bombs further into Ukraine territory. Higher risk, so higher pay.

The WEF and their Bankster Masters in the "City of London" i.e., Rotchildistan, are trying to start a World War that the believe that they would rule after they come up out of their underground (taxpayer built) Bunkers.

What do you think Traitor Milley?

I would think those retired aviators know all too well the risks involved. Unless they have a fierce loyalty to Mother Russia, I doubt they would come out of the woodwork to go into action. ;)

Could this be the underlying reason the 101st Airborne Division has been deployed for the first time in 70 years?

If U.S. and Russian forces tangle the Ukraine thing might just escalate out of control. ;)

One thing Russia is gaining in this war is combat experience, and doing it with contemporary military hardware and contemporary environments with drones, satellites and so forth. Compare that with our soft, woke military.

Compare the Kinzhal - Mach 12 digs a hole 98 feet deep where the target used to be. It replaces the Iskander. Compare the Iskander to what the US has which is a set of drawings of something Raytheon wishes they could sell to the DOD in 10 years.

Compare the Zircon, a Mach 9 Russian cruise missile, to the US Navy's Mach 0.7 cruise missile. The Russian missile is 12.85 times faster.

The F-35 has a maximum speed of 1,199 mph compared to 1,616 mph for the SU-57 and 1,500 mph for the SU-35.

They can't go into the Ukraine. They would die. Beside, Russia blew up the bridge from Moldova to the Ukraine.

And Lloyd Austin our politically correct Sec Def. They needed a minority on the inner circle. ;)
