Bad assumptions.
Most air sorties would've been at high altitude, phone cameras don't capture that. And MLRS barrages targeted Ukrainian formations, so you wouldn't find civilian footage of this because no civilians were present where those formations were deployed.
In the coming days, detailed analysis of how the war unfolded will be released on open-source intel. We'll get a better picture of what the air sortie rate and MLRS effects were. I'd bet in the first 24 hours, there was intense air and artillery action.
By now, major Ukrainian formations and its air force is probably out of the equation. That phase seems to be over already

But it's the best kind of threat they see... It's not illegal.
Based. Putin has seemed to finally make a decision on how to communicate with the West.
For the past 30 years its was by the pen, from today onwards it will be by the sword. If anyone starts doing the useless things they did in the past, get ready to not face Putin the modern man, but Putin the Tsar.
For anyone asking what does that mean, simply open a history book and read how the Tsars behaved with hostile/bothersome countries (hint: not in a good way).
Except that’s not how reality works. Depending on the source Russia is top 2-4 of global oil exporters. Cutting them off from swift means they can’t buy oil with dollars anymore and I doubt Russia and their customers have bilateral trade agreements with local currencies.
And here is the issue with the EU 35% of gas from Russia. There is no extra global supply sitting anyway for Europe to replace Russian Gas with. Otherwise, the US wouldn’t be trying to negotiate with the Saudis and Qatar for gas. To supply Europe with gas means they will have to take it away from other countries.
Cut Russia off from swift and there will be a global frenzy for energy because they can’t use dollars to buy Russian energy. So everyone will be forced to chase after a smaller quantity of energy thus massive inflation.
Don’t be ridiculous, it clearly says it will be delivered outside the country. Since it won’t get back to Ukraine in time, it will be sold on eBay

I do agree that it is a step away from official Chinese established positions. But China has woken up that the west does not respect borders or sovereignty as we have seen in funding Xinjiang, Tibetan, HK separatists. Russia saw how the west couped a democratically elected Yanukovych and in turn decided to launch cyber and misinformation attacks all over the west.
Perhaps this is a threat to the west that China, will become like Russia and no longer stick to it's policy of non-interference if the west continues funding separatists.
From the way the market behaved, stocks up big two days in a row and oil prices dropped significantly from the peak, it doesn't seem the market is predicting harsh sanctions or foreseeing oil export from Russia will be cut from this event.
