Warzone/The Drive: Claims Swirl Around Supposed Strike On Russian A-50 Radar Jet In Belarus  

One of Russia’s most prized military aircraft, an A-50 Mainstay, is claimed to have been struck at its forward base in Belarus. 

There has been quite the buzz this Sunday on social media about a supposed attack on a Russian A-50 Mainstay airborne early warning and control aircraft that is forward deployed to Machulishchy Air Base south of Minsk, in Belarus. 

We cannot confirm that this attack actually happened or the nature of the damage, if any, to the A-50 — the type has been a staple at the base throughout the war. But if it did occur, it would be a significant loss for the Russian Air Force and, depending on how it was carried out, it could be a sign of a developing front and what's to come in the now year-old war.

WNU Editor: There are only 9 (now 8) A-50 Mainstay airborne early warning and control aircraft in the Russian fleet. On social media there are reports that another Belarus air base was attacked, and that there have been clashes on the Belarus - Ukraine border where one Belarusian soldier was killed.

Well there you go. Big Ukrainian oppressor attacking smaller country to the north. Nazi aggressors, right?

But was the plane even really destroyed?

This is exactly the pretext Russia needs for Belarus to get involved. Comes right on the back of Belarus saying they will not get involved unless attacked. This doesn't benefit Ukraine in the slightest.

You won't hear any alternative view on this blog other than that it was Ukrainian aggression.

Gauranteed a false flag operation by Putin to force Lukashenko to attack from the north and be annhilated by second and third rate Ukrainian troops. They'll gain great combat experience putting Bellorussians into body bags.

People don’t realize but many Belarusian’s are fighting for Ukraine and hunger for freedom. This was an inside job not done by a Ukrainian but a Belarusian…another bad sign for Russia that’s for sure

If you look at new Israeli and American AWACS planes, you cane see that the Russian AWACs plane is a dinosaur. Not much of a loss militarily. The trend has been for smaller planes.

So the Russians set up a false flag. The ministry of Truth makes sure they have a troll that is first to comment on this thread/.

The Russians are soon to lose Kola Peninsula and Kaliningrad.

Why is a Russian AWACs needed except as a decoy on a tarmac? Russians pilots are too scared to fly over Ukraine. They get wee weed up faster than Obama just thinking about it.

Putin $328 million spy plane 'is destroyed in drone attack near Minsk by pro-Ukraine Belarus group'

Once Lukashenko is overthrown just think how close we will be to Moscow. We march on Moscow on multiple axis and the people revolt,. Putin ends up like Qadaffi with a very sore keister.

8:13, any nation invading Russia will meet the same results as Germany did in 1941-45. The best strategy in dealing with Russia is to do fair business with it and not threaten it's borders as NATO and the USA have been doing.

Invasion of Russia not necessary containment constant destruction of asset blockade old fashion siege until they negotiate

Russia is an invader to a sovereign nation. So what is that supposed to be worth? Nothing nothing at all.

Unless you want to add Somalia, Afghanistan. Syria, Iraq, Kosovo. And several others.

If you think this is a false flag. Great. In the coming weeks you will have to prove it. Generally with these things you don't get the truth until weeks months or years later.

But the Russians blew up that pipe line and shot rockets into Poland, right?

For give me if I do not believe you any more.

Did not read the article, did you fazzy?

The claim is internal saboteurs did this.

So Who is blaming the ukies?

Ah yes, pointing the fingers as the Russian trolls do. USA did this so it's okay for Russia to annex a country because they feel that Russians there are under threat. Let's get real Russia not going to stop until they take back their old capital. If we go, Tit for Tat not saying anything any one does it right. Annexing a country kind of reminds me of the Germany back in the days.

Pointing out the hypocrisy really does strip you of your attempts at moralism however.
