this sort of fog of information is something UA wants russian population to feel for a few days or hours. some percentage might think it’s ukraine, others might believe its sabotage. the difference of perception can be panic-inducing.

it’s almost like putin can’t believe what fell.
lol, I guess Ukraine is worried that if they dunk too hard on Russia the West will reduce aid.

Meduza had a reporter in Chernihiv before it was surrounded. She wasn’t able to get out and only today was able to report on what she saw before the city was encircled
An older couple, leaning over the registry of the city’s dead, seems to cheer up for a moment. On March 22, they were told that their son, a soldier, had been brought here — to the morgue at the Chernihiv Regional Hospital. But the nurse in charge of records can’t seem to find his last name.
“Relax, I don’t have a soldier with that name,” Yelena repeats. “I’m looking at it. I remember all of the names. The last soldier I got was on the 17th. Since the 17th, there haven’t been any soldiers.”
The soldier’s mother takes a half step away from the desk. “It could have been earlier than that,” her husband mutters, before catching sight of his own last name. A second later, he lets out a groan: “There he is — Alexander Boichuk.”
His wife starts to cry.

I saw a documentary on CW that showed how getting a blood transfusion from someone exposed to lots of radiation from nuclear fallout or living in space cures radiation sickness.

In that thread they also say they need aircraft. Not MiG-29s but more modern western aircraft, even suggest sending F-15s and -16s. They say they can learn to fly them in a few weeks. Unless there’s a dramatic expansion of the war, hard to see that happening. And in that case there would be NATO pilots doing the flying.
I’m all for giving Ukraine $100+ bn in military support, but planes seem like a bad option. Not only due to escalation, but also training, the need for functional airports that Russia could destroy with long range missiles, munitions logistics, general logistics, command and control integration, etc. Seems like very little bang for the buck. That said, I wish they were getting enough mobile artillery to penetrate into Russia. And keep giving them advanced AA to deny air superiority. Also, give them enough anti ship munitions to sink any Russian ships within 100 miles of the coast.

in this scenario there would probably be a total no-fly-zone within minutes of the invasion starting, NATO airstrikes on russian columns moving into Ukraine, and even inside of Russia, and possibly even a NATO counterinvasion.
Pretty much the Korean War.
