Hosseini, R., Askari, N. A review of neurological side effects of COVID-19 vaccination. Eur J Med Res 28, 102 (2023). https://doi.org/10.1186/s40001-023-00992-0
Abstract
Following the COVID-19 virus epidemic, extensive, coordinated international research has led to the rapid development of effective vaccines. Although vaccines are now considered the best way to achieve collective safety and control mortality, due to the critical situation, these vaccines have been issued the emergency use licenses and some of their potential subsequence side effects have been overlooked. At the same time, there are many reports of side effects after getting a COVID-19 vaccine. According to these reports, vaccination can have an adverse event, especially on nervous system. The most important and common complications are cerebrovascular disorders including cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, transient ischemic attack, intracerebral hemorrhage, ischemic stroke, and demyelinating disorders including transverse myelitis, first manifestation of MS, and neuromyelitis optica. These effects are often acute and transient, but they can be severe and even fatal in a few cases. Herein, we have provided a comprehensive review of documents reporting neurological side effects of COVID-19 vaccines in international databases from 2020 to 2022 and discussed neurological disorders possibly caused by vaccination.
ahem! An echidna thank you!
Conclusion
According to the vaccine study literature, adverse effects have always been part of the mass vaccination strategy, but ultimately the desired effects of the vaccination are more significant. Side effects of COVID-19 vaccination have been reported more frequently in people with a history of immune-related diseases or who are more sensitive to age and physiological conditions. The most important and most common complications are cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (more about AstraZeneca), transverse myelitis (more about Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca, and Johnson & Johnson), Bell’s palsy (more about Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca), GBS (more about Pfizer, AstraZeneca, and Johnson & Johnson), and the first manifestation of MS (more about Pfizer). Finally, discovering whether these disorders are accidental or whether the vaccine is the main cause of them requires future studies, ongoing efforts to gather evidence, and long-term monitoring.

but a trained local militia (30% of population) armed and ready for guerilla warfare would be my proposal for local activities.
That woulda worked up until perhaps 1970, when we were still an homogenous Nation.
It can’t work now when perhaps 60% of the population share either Race, Religion, or Ideology with the invaders.

Zelenskyy arrives in Rome for meetings with Pope Francis, Italian leaders
Zelenskyy arrived at Rome’s Ciampino airport, with Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani on hand to greet him, the ANSA news agency said.
Zelenskyy will hold midday meetings with Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni, who staunchly backs military and other aid for Ukraine, and with President Sergio Mattarella.
Zelenskyy’s exact schedule wasn’t being publicly announced because of security concerns, and the Vatican only confirmed a papal meeting shortly before the Ukrainian president’s expected arrival in Rome.
Italian state television reported that as part of protective measures, a no-fly zone was ordered for Rome skies and police sharpshooters were strategically placed on high buildings.

I have saved Pogria’s Dodo image. It is my intention to send it to offending Victorian Liberals in the body of the email every time they do something really stupid. I will do this till they block me.

Tomorrow’s headline:

To prove how insidious they are – here’s the song they posted while I was incarcerated in an underground dungeon (BIRM) … 😕
Zelensky was an entertainer, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t take his position seriously. He won an election as an outsider against the Russian and EU biased factions. The “illegal” phone call Trump made showed Zelensky felt the same way that Trump did about career politicians and the EU and even Biden’s meddling in Ukrainian law enforcement, as well as Russian aggression. He has made some very grave decisions most politicians never have to.
Harris is an insider, a gold digger & social climber who doesn’t take her job seriously.

Mr. Zelensky did not leave Ukraine for the first 10 months of the war and his initial trips outside the country — including to Britain, France and the United States — were rare. In recent weeks, however, he has visited The Hague and Finland, and is expected to travel next to Germany.
I wonder what they pump into the old thief.

Just watching a Gutfeld bit on the arrest of the U.S. Marine for the Jordan Neely incident. Neely’s (family’s) lawyer/spokesman claiming that no-one on the train asked Neely “How can I meet your needs?”
Again, it’s the ridiculous assertion that de-escalation tactics can and WILL work at any time in ANY crisis. Having had low-level training and experience in crisis situations (though not in a law enforcement sense, and not when weapons are involved), I can say it is unrealistic to expect to de-escalate the behaviour of an individual when they are at or nearing the peak of the crisis event. Nor am I a medical doctor or neuroscientist, but my understanding is that at crisis point, the person’s brain activity is almost wholly in survival mode, meaning that expecting them to recognise and respond to logical, rational statements, is unlikely to succeed. Sometimes, the best that can be done is to contain the damage by removing bystanders and yourself if possible. I’ve also heard it said (and have witnessed) that recovering/coming down from the peak crisis moment, can take up to 30 minutes, and that during this period, the crisis may re-ascend.
‘De-escalation’ is one of those misused and misunderstood terms, and in incidents such as the Neely one, is being used as a political (financial) tool.

In 1955 as a 15yr old working in the ANZ bank, Cnr Elizabeth St and Devonshire St Sydney I’d walk down to Hay St to take accordian lessons from Otto Weiss at 6.30pm once a week. After the lesson I would walk back toward Museum station past the hotel on the corner (IIRC) of Pitt and Goulburn Sts, where the Salvation Army would play outside the pub. I can remember standing there each of those nights until they played “Will there be Any Stars in my Crown” highlighted by their tambourines.
They always played it and it always had an effect on me which I remember vividly to this day. I don’t know why.

Greenfleece is demanding $10B in reparations per whale, and an end to the genocidal fostering and adoption of young whales by non-wet animals. I’m pretty sure I’ve got that right.

The Burnet Institute – an influential public health body that advised the Victorian government on its Covid response – stood by its findings and described the scientists’ comments to news.com.au as “disappointing and unprofessional”.
But Plos One has now acknowledged flaws in the study with a lengthy notice appended to the paper. An expression of concern – one step above a correction but short of a retraction – is used to “alert readers of serious concerns about published work”.
“After publication of this article, readers raised a number of concerns, including about the methodology, the limitations of the study design, and whether the conclusions are fully supported,” Plos One editors wrote in the notice.

The Tassie stadium thing is becoming popcornworthy!
‘Had a bloody gutful’: Senator Jacqui Lambie joins thousands of protesters in Hobart to oppose new stadium (Sky News, 14 May)
Senator Jacqui Lambie joined thousands of Tasmanians on Saturday to protest the development of a new stadium in Hobart.
Tasmania will officially be home to the AFL’s 19th team after a joint announcement to build the $750 million Macquarie Point stadium precinct.
However, the long anticipated announcement has been slammed as a “scandalous con-job” and a waste for taxpayers facing a health and housing crisis.
People could be heard chanting various slogans while holding signs such as “team yes, Stadium No. Tell the AFL where to go!”
“We can’t eat stadiums or submarines,” others said, in reference to the $368 billion AUKUS deal.
Ms Lambie, who has been a vocal critic of the proposal for some time, addressed the thousands of people in attendance.
“Tasmanians have had a bloody gutful over your stadium and you can stick it up your bum,” she told the crowd gathered in Hobart.
I wonder if the MSM will clutch their pearls about Jacqui’s language like they did with Mark Latham? More seriously I don’t like the chances of the last remaining Lib government in Australia. They look to be goners after this fiasco.

Deeming promises supporters she’ll never quit
Moira Deeming has described feeling ‘completely betrayed’ after she was expelled from the parliamentary Liberal Party in Victoria but has promised supporters she will “never quit”.
“If they want to get me out of the party, then it’s going to be another public round of beating me up for doing nothing wrong,” she told the Herald Sun.
“And if they want to have another go, they are welcome to it, but I know how much support I’ve got amongst party members because thousands and thousands of them have contacted my office since March.
“I will never resign. I will never quit. I will not do their dirty work for them, I have much too much dignity for that.
“And I am not going to help them to smear, or label as extremist, a whole movement of women who just want their ordinary and reasonable, rights protected.”
Ms Deeming’s expulsion from the parliamentary Liberal Party in Victoria failed to defuse the internal chaos engulfing John Pesutto, with more than a third of MPs voting against their leader and a defamation action now in the wings.
The Opposition Leader sought to depict the success, by 19 votes to 11, of his second attempt to expel Ms Deeming as a “turning point” for the Victorian Liberals, claiming it showed they were committed to being a “disciplined, united and focused team”.
But Ms Deeming is pressing ahead with her defamation action against Mr Pesutto, which is set to be filed in the Federal Court on June 8.
“I feel completely betrayed. I honoured the terms of my suspension, but John Pesutto did not,” Ms Deeming said.
Critics of Mr Pesutto cited the refusal of more than a third of the partyroom to back the motion, the ongoing public legal battle, and the fact Ms Deeming remains an organisational Liberal Party member despite her expulsion from the parliamentary party as evidence divisions and dysfunction are likely to continue.
In her only public statements on Friday, Ms Deeming tweeted: “I’m grateful to him (a lone supporter on the steps of parliament) and my other supporters” and in a second tweet defended her actions on the day of the Let Women Speak rally that was gatecrashedby neo-Nazi supporters. “We closed our rally early & we all condemned them both on the day & afterwards.’’
Ms Deeming’s attendance at the rally triggered the party dispute.
A second motion to sack newly elected MP Renee Heath as party secretary following a public spat regarding the minutes of the March 27 partyroom meeting at which Mr Pesutto first attempted to expel Ms Deeming also passed 19 votes to 11.
Multiple Liberal sources told The Weekend Australian a third motion, seeking to replace Ms Heath’s March 27 minutes with Mr Pesutto’s own version, passed with a smaller majority, with many contesting the accuracy of the leader’s minutes and several MPs abstaining from voting on the issue.
Ozzy piglets at work.

By the way, anyone know where Dutton is? His silence is deafening. I can only draw the conclusion he supports Moira Deeming being gagged. Worth remembering that Moira is a voter winner, unlike the Liberal candidate for Aston, picked by Liberal HQ, who was a voter dud.
Further to Dutton’s silence, as C.L. has mentioned, we have the sinister situation of the Canberra Catholic hospital, where a far-left government is planning to take over a Catholic hospital. Now apart from the legality of this, which is questionable, and it should be fought in the courts, all the way up to the HC, if this takeover successful, it will set a sinister and dangerous precedent for the state to take over of private religious schools, and make no mistake, that’ll be the far-left’s next target when private schools refuse to teach queer pervert theory, forget about euthanasia and abortion up to just before birth, soon five year old boys and girls will be taught how expertly fellate an adult male and if parents or schools dare protest, then such bigotry will not be tolerated and the government will shut you down and take you over. But has Peter Dutton said anything about the Canberra hospital? Nope, nothing, nada, zilcho.
Yesterday the Oz had a piece on Sleazy the Word Slusher, the member for Grayndler, who, when he’s not blubbering and strumming an out of tune harp for ever and a day about his lurvely single mother and growing up in “deprived circumstances” (a lie, and given his properly portfolio as an adult, he’s done quite well for the bastard offspring of a Sydney woman and her one night dalliance with Giovanni, the Italian waiter, on a cruise ship), well Sleazy is now talking, quite openly, about “changing Australia”. To what? Some Marxist paradise? Well, given government take overs of religious hospitals we’re definitely on the way……..yay, yay, yay! But who voted for this? I can guarantee you that most of those who voted last year to change government didn’t vote to change the country.
But for all of this, we can thank the stupid effing Liberals, state and federal. A big special shout out to the smirking grub from the electorate of Cook. He deserves a special thanks, for his complete incompetence as PM. Thank you Scumbag, thank you Liberals, oh and I ask again, where’s Dutton?

Of course they have to have the obligatory “I’m not an anti-vaxer” disclaimer – handing over all rhetorical power to the vaccine commies before they even start their case.
You’re telling all the people who tried to warn you and would still try and stick up for you that you don’t want our help.
What’s more you tell vaccine commies that you still love them and have no interest in seeing them punished for what they’ve done. Why would they compensate you? You’re still a willing slave to the vaccine machine.

Front-page splash in the mass circulation Sunday Herald Sun this morning, while the Green-left activists’ instruction bible, The Age, relegates Victoria’s biggest political story to a minor down-page polemic taking the side of the Stupid Frigging Liberals and the trans movement against Moira Deeming, who’s now alone in the Victorian parliament in standing up for women.
Remember when the left was all for feminism? Lefty women have been put in their place. They’re now just the ladies auxiliary for the male homosexuals running the trans movement.
The Battle of Bakhmut
What do the recent Ukrainian gains mean?
MICK RYAN, AM
13 MAY 2023
Over the past 48 hours, there have been a succession of reports about Ukrainian advances in the areas north of the city of Bakhmut. Multiple reports indicate that Russian forces have withdrawn to positions further to the north of the city in the vicinity of the Berkhivs’ke Reservoir.
There has been almost a year of fighting over the city and the region immediately to its north, east and south. It is a battle that seeks to control a small city, with minimal strategic value, but which has attained high political value because of several visits by the Ukrainian president. It also gained political value because it offered one of the few areas of possible success for the rushed and poorly conceived Russian 2023 eastern offensives. And of course, the Wager versus Russian Army aspects of the battle have also played a part in Bakhmut gaining attention, as well as absorbing far more military forces than pure military prudence might dictate.
I have previously examined the possible legacy of this battle, and you can listen to that here.
The Ukrainian assaults, resulting in about 17 square kilometres of Ukrainian territory liberated from the Russians, are some of the most significant observed in 2023. With reports describing around 1000 Ukrainian troops and 40 tanks involved, it is likely that a couple of battlegroups, or even an entire Ukrainian brigade, were involved. Of course, there would have been artillery, EW and other forms of support as well.
What Are We Seeing Around Bakhmut?
The question, then, is what does this all mean?
There are several explanations for the recent Ukrainian attacks north of Bakhmut and their success in seizing back ground around the city. I will explore each of them below and then provide an overall assessment of what we have seen (noting we only see a partial picture) and how it might impact on Russian and Ukrainian operations in the coming weeks and months.
I. It is just a local counterattack. This is one possible explanation for the events of the last couple of days. The Ukrainians have demonstrated the ability to learn and exploit opportunities in a much better fashion than the Russians have throughout the war. And certainly, the gains made in the past 48 hours will have required a keen tactical eye by several commanders on the spot. Ukrainian commanders have probably identified weaknesses in the Russian forces in this area in the last few days (or even weeks) and selected the optimal time to strike.
Adding to the case that this is just a local counterattack is that the northern Ukrainian assault was not accompanied by other large attacks in other sectors of the city. While according to the most recent ISW update, Russian milbloggers have reported Ukrainian troops attacking towards Khromove (3km west of Bakhmut), and the 3rd Brigade has attacked south of Bakhmut, I don’t think that this offers any real evidence of a much broader operational push. These are more likely to be counterattacks that are part of the normal conduct of a larger defensive operation, where local commanders are given the authority to attack where the opportunity presents.
II. The Russians have culminated. Military doctrine defines culmination as “the point at which continuing the attack is no longer possible and the force must consider reverting to a defensive posture or attempting an operational pause”. It has been clear for some weeks now that the 2023 offensive overseen by Gerasimov, which is almost a template of his 2022 invasion model (4-5 axes of advance, none of which with decisive force), has been a failure. It has not captured any significant objective of military or strategic value and has occupied a very small additional part of Ukraine. It has also squandered massive amounts of manpower and material which Russia needs to defend those parts of Ukraine it occupies.
So, with this as background, are the Russian losses north of Bakhmut the initial signs that the Russian forces in this area have culminated and are unable to sustain offensive operations? Possibly. But, at the same time as Russian forces were withdrawing under pressure from the Ukrainian assault, they continued to make small gains in fighting through the central and western parts of Bakhmut. Multiple sources report that the Russians still continue to conduct attack in these areas. For reference, I have included the maps from @War_Mapper and @MilitaryLandNet below.
Consequently, while the Russians many be close to culminating in their attack on Bkehmut, they retain some tactical momentum. However, the overall Russian offensive in the east – an operational level campaign – probably has culminated.
III. The Ukrainian counter offensive has begun. If I had a dollar for every time I was asked where and when the Ukrainian counter offensive is starting, I would already be living on a private island somewhere! The only real certainties about the Ukrainian offensives to come are that they will occur somewhere in Ukraine, probably in multiple locations and that they will probably surprise us (and the Russians) in one way or another.
The reality is that it will only be in retrospect that we will fully understand when the official ‘Preliminary Phase’ of their offensive operations has begun. Strategic planning, preparation and shaping began back in 2022. The Ukrainian requests for more equipment, training, and stockpiling had clearly commenced before Christmas last year. Commander in Chief, General Zaluznhy was quite clear in telegraphing the offensives to come when he stated in a Decemeber 2022 interview with The Economist that:
So, for all the reports of strikes and ‘shaping’ activities being undertaken by the Ukrainians over the past few weeks, the reality is that the Ukrainians have been conducting strategic shaping for six months in preparation for their next major series of offensives. Part of this is probably a massive deception campaign to ensure the Russians do not appreciate where the main effort for the Ukrainian might fall and when it actually starts.
As to whether these attacks in Bakhmut are indicative that the Ukrainian offensive has begun, my inclination is that does not indicate that. However, the ongoing defence of Bakhmut could be a key element of the Ukrainian preparations for their offensive because of how it has fixed Russian attention and drawn in Russian forces that could have been used more wisely elsewhere.
A final, and possibly related, point on the Ukrainian offensives to come. In the past 24 hours, President Zelensky has released these two tweets. They are very different to his normal social media products, and could portend major events in the short term.
Or not.

McCallum CJ was scathing of Wilkinson, who had effectively dropped Heronner in the judicial shite. Only two months previously McCallum refused Lehrmann’s application to control press commentary on the case – or stay proceedings because of apprehended influence on a jury.
Presumably Mz Wilkinson took that earlier laissez faire judicial position (along with Drumgold’s fluffing) as a green light to talk as she saw fit – despite clearly having guilty knowledge that she was driving a bus over Lehrmann’s presumption of innocence.
A delay, not a ‘mistrial’, but hardly an unfair criticism, given that was exactly what McCallum had said.
It appears that nobody is going to come out of this legal train wreck with an undamaged reputation.

When it comes to the level of both hypocrisy and sheer cowardice, the LNP is in a (under) class of it’s own. Both Labor and the Greens – and others – leave the LNP far far behind in the conviction stakes. The LNP is now a cohort of yellow bellies, not worth my consideration.

Our opponents (this is a competition) were never advocates for ALL women. Their support was only for a select group of women.
Returning to the gang culture analogy I’ve been harping about recently: They were protecting their ‘own’ and ONLY thier own, females; those who passed the tests required for gang membership & had demonstrated their allegiance to the gang’s culture & internal rules: the insiders. Females who were NOT gang members, were & still are, ‘fair game.’
Females in politics & the media who share the shame socio-cultural beliefs are protected. Those who are categorised as outsiders, including both defined political enemies & the ‘invisible’ girls & women who do not have a public voice or the ability to actively contribute to the survival & domination of the ‘gang’ (indigenous & overseas ‘low status’ females subjected to FGM, child marriage, honour killings, restriction of educational opportunities, etc.), are left to fend for themselves & take their chances.
Whatever name is applied to this type of ‘feminism’ (3rd or 4th wave?), has been – as has been the pattern – appropriated & redefined.
It is a selective, first-world advocacy for the elite who are already comparatively privileged. The goal is to extend those privileges & restrict them to maintain their value.
I would argue that this type of ‘feminism’ is deeply & unashamedly misogynistic.
Aaargh, spellink mistake!

Funny how we are back where we started. Most people forget that women got the vote because male MPs voted on the laws to enable it. And now we will lose a lot of those rights because “trans women” with perfectly trimmed moustaches and beards will decide what we are permitted to do and say. Has anyone heard anything lately from Gloria Steinem?

Black Day for Russian VVS as ‘Special Air Group’ Destroyed in Ambush
SIMPLICIUS THE THINKER
14 MAY 2023
A quick note on acronyms: some people have used RuAF to describe the airforce, though that more accurately describes Russian Armed Forces. Others call the airforce VKS, but in Russian transliteration that actually stands for Russian Aerospace Forces, under which the Airforce does operate, but includes the umbrella of the missile and space forces as well. The Airforce alone is just the VVS.
Today Russia lost two Mi-8s, and Su-34, and reportedly an Su-35. All nine pilots were killed. This is likely three in the Mi-8, three in the Mi-8MTPR1 (pilot, copilot and EW suite operator), two in Su-34, and one in Su-35.
These four aerial assets comprised what’s called a ‘special air group’ as they operated together as one unit on a coordinated mission objective. One of the Mi-8s was likely in a recovery role, specifically sent as a craft to recover downed pilots as a precaution, the other was an advanced Mi-8MTPR1, which is an electronics / EW platform. The role of the Mi-8MTPR1 is to provide electronic jamming and cover for the Su-34, whose role was to launch airstrikes, likely in the form of the new FAB-500M-62 UMPC ‘planning’ or glide-bombs. The Su-35’s role in this special air group is to provide air cover against potential hostile air threats, i.e. enemy fighter jets.
The Mi-8MTPR1 is armed with the famous Russian Rychag-AV electronic suite which I’ve reported on before. It’s one of the two main suites, along with Vitebsk L-370 or ‘President-S’ system that Russian Ka-52s typically use. The Vitebsk system is more of an active countermeasure which detects AD missiles or ‘lock on’ threats and automatically attempts to electronically jam (via laser and radio methods) them and send flare/chaff decoys at the same time to divert the threat.
The Rychag on the other hand is more of a longer range EMF jamming suite. You can see one of the Rychag L187A jammer modules circled in red here:
So, in summary: they fly together, the Mi-8MTPR1 jams enemy air defenses from a distance, the Su-34 launches bombs, the Su-35 patrols to make sure no hostile craft approach, and the rear Mi-8 simply loiters as precaution to exfiltrate any downed pilots swiftly should a shoot down occur.
This incident in fact gave us the first such indepth look into how Russia is launching its long range strikes. It’s more sophisticated than many people thought, and doesn’t boil down to just Su-34s randomly winging bombs on their own, but in fact there is an entire system of cover in place.
So, the big question is, what went wrong? If these Rychag units are supposed to jam AD, then what exactly happened?
No one knows. Of course one possibility is that the chopper was hit first, which would obviously open the rest of them up to be much easier targets. But first let’s clear a few things up.
As to people wondering why they were flying so high, when the name of the game these days is fly low beneath radar coverage. As per the mission requirements, this mission calls to fly high as obviously for the Mi-8MTPR1 to jam enemy AD, it has to be high enough to detect those AD systems, which in turn can detect it also and then it’s a matter of who gets off first. Jamming systems are not perfect. No system on the planet is completely failsafe or foolproof. We’ve seen numerous times the Vitebsk system on Ka-52s successfully fended off Manpads, some videos even showing a Ka-52 losing several Manpads in this way.
But no system is perfect because it all comes down to the specific conditions of an encounter. There are small “blind spots” and other such things in every system depending on its orientation and the various parameters of its height, distance, etc.
As for the other planes, obviously they too had to be up high because if the Su-34’s job was to launch glide bombs, these can only be launched from a high altitude so that they can have a lot of room to ‘glide down’ while they stretch their legs to 30-50km, or whatever their max range might be. Clearly, this was an operation in an area where Russia often operates and felt that the long range AD was suppressed or nonexistent.
First let’s establish where these craft were shot down:
So, what was it that actually hit the craft? My first reaction—as was many people’s—was that these were Manpad-armed DRG saboteurs that had infiltrated the Russian border region near Bryansk, due to the fact that the craft all fell deep in Russian territory. However, after more facts came to light, this appears a fairly classic hit of a medium/long range system, most likely a Ukrainian BUK. Although, there are some major problems for the BUK possibility I’ll mention afterwards. First, a few key pieces of evidence:
And lastly, we have the photo of one of the Mi-8 rotors, perforated with fragmentation shrapnel. Most AD systems do use fragmentation, although the size of those frag hits seems to point more to BUK than smaller Manpad frags:
So what appears to have happened, is Ukraine somehow snuck an AD system much closer to the Russian border under cover, kept it offline while learning of the Russian strike group’s routine and routes by way of observation or help from U.S. C4ISR systems. Then once the strike group took off and was headed their way, they would need to only fire up their radar system very briefly to designate the target and launch at them.
This is one explanation for how they could have gotten past the Mi-8MTPR1’s Rychag jamming systems.
This is just one possibility/theory. It could be wrong, and there are a number of other ways it could have happened.
For instance, one theory being promulgated is that Ukraine “ambushed” this group with Mig-29s armed with new American long range Aim-120 Amraam missiles. These missiles are fancy and advanced, but the problem is, it doesn’t matter how powerful your missiles are if your aircraft’s radar is the weak bottleneck. The Mig-29’s radar is infamously lackluster compared to the Russian Su-35 that was in the air. Many comparison videos have previously been made but the disparity is something along the lines of: the Su-35 with its famed Irbis-E radar can detect the Mig-29 at something like 250-400km while the Mig can only detect the Su-35 at maybe 60-120km at the most, give or take.
But some have rebutted by saying: “But American AWACs probably provided the target designation for the Amraam-armed Mig!”
Problem is, as I explained many times before, the AWACs radar’s max range is 450km, and maybe 600km+ for gigantic high flying targets like Tu-95 bears. This is due to the simple science of radar horizons and earth curvature.
In the end, it is an unprecedented strike because it is the downing of an entire air group in Russian territory. And fairly deep in their territory to boot. As one analyst wrote, “next they will just be shooting them down straight in Sheremetyevo airport.”
The official FighterBomber channel (linked to Russian airforce) wrote on Telegram:
There have been no such losses of our aviation as today since March of last year.
Ukrainian journalist Anatoly Shariy writes:
Anatoly Shariy: “I have absolutely accurate information that what is happening with Russian aircraft in the very near future will begin to happen with sea vessels.”
Ultimately, an air to air ambush does make the most sense simply because it’s hardest to believe that a BUK/S-300/etc. was smuggled right up to the Russian border. And even then, a BUK can likely not reach that deep as explained before.
As of this writing, Russian strategic aviation (bombers) are taking off for what is likely to be retaliatory strikes. We’ll update next time as more information becomes known.
But for all of this, we can thank the stupid effing Liberals, state and federal. A big special shout out to the smirking grub from the electorate of Cook. He deserves a special thanks, for his complete incompetence as PM. Thank you Scumbag, thank you Liberals, oh and I ask again, where’s Dutton?
Cassie, you are on fire! Absolutely right. Libs have not merely lost their way, they appear to have lost all understanding of the basic principles of their political philosophy.
I especially harbour a grievance against Morrison – for many reasons. He was an immense disappointment. I heard him speak many years ago (around 2010?) at the Sydney Institute when he spoke about Australian “values” in the wake of the escapades of the Middle Eastern louts on Cronulla beaches. He was at that time one of the few to do this.
But as PM he abandoned all such frippery. Too bad about the farmers in the worst drought in several generations….and the fires which ripped through what was left in some areas. I often look back at a photograph husband took of me in the ute with a ventilator on my moosh because of the smoke in the valley. Desperately putting out in the bare paddocks what little hay we were about to purchase at the time. Where was Morrison? No idea….but Tony Abbott appeared to help our local brigades. I will never forget that & had the opportunity recently to thank him.
