Highly unlikely. If that happened America would be getting the instant sunshine treatment before the F-22 got back to base.

Well I'm not the one suggesting Russia attack NATO member Poland. There are precedents for one belligerent flying planes from a non-belligerent country, such as North Korea's MiG's flying from China during the Korean War. Would be the same if Poland let Ukrainian AF fly from its bases.
It won't happen. The Ukrainians still seem to think they have the upper hand...
Hitler also thought he had a chance until the Red Army was knocking at his door.
Yeah. More repeat images of the same crap over and over presented as new losses.
Yet who is inside Kherson and basically controlling it right now?
Who knows? I do know all three major nuclear powers can interfere with satellites using ground based lasers to differing degrees.
Sure. By the time this operation ends the Russians will have more vehicle losses than the vehicles the Russians commited to the entire operation. Nice logic. That guy who makes that list, he is biased, I have seen a picture of single Ukrainian airfield the Russians targeted which had more Su-25 losses than the ones in his entire list.
More repeat pictures from yesterday.
He is an idiot. The whole point of maneuver warfare is to corral the enemy into pockets, surround those pockets, and later clear the pockets at leisure. This allows you to cover the most terrain as possible. It also starves the enemy of resources. Does he think this is a bunch of infantrymen in neat lines in a Napoleonic era battle? The Russians just do a frontal assault in a huge line and push the Ukrainians out of the map? What a dolt. And Russia never gave a timetable for the operation. Given the time of other interventions they seem to be doing quite quickly.
According to the rules of law you have to detain the aircraft and pilot until the end of the conflict. Otherwise you are considered to be a belligerent nation.

Considering that Russia went from the unconditional surrender at first to negotiations, then pretty sure it means that Putin miscalculated. Either he really drank his kool-aid about "saving Ukrainians from Nazis" and expected little to no resistance (because otherwise no way he thought they would be able to bring Ukraine down in a few days when even Iraq took weeks) or he did not expect such a strong sanction response and backlash.
Probably the good deal right now would neutral status of Ukraine + lifting at least some sanctions + recognition of Crimea because any other option brings too little to the table for the massive economic damage Russia has endured. The question is will Russia be able to negotiate that.
They can take off from highways as well. I wouldn't be surprised if that's what they're already doing with the TB-2s.
But those still need large air fields than the Russians can spot very easily and destroy fast even with their cruise missiles. Won't last too long.
But, that would be a slippery slope!
Fair point.
An alarming article got uploaded to southfront:
Looks like we're getting to the endgame.
Weren't these MiGs supposed to join up with Ukraine yesterday? If it there was a delay hopefully that is a sign of some sort of deescalation is going on behind the scenes.
