Russia still has problems with it's military, there's a reason Cubans were brought in to crew the armor. Putin will use the time of Western weakness to gain strength and influence.

Apparently, one of the SU-24 crewmen was rescued. This piece is a concise update/analysis of the developing situation.

That definitely changes the info that was being provided to us initially, even if it came from sources apparently closer to the situation. Just proves that even those sources claiming special insight don't always know the full story and the rush to get all "doom & gloom" is a bit premature.

Absolutely. Virtually everything we've had so far is basically just opinion and certainly should not be taken as law. Only time will show us the truth.

Well credit where it's due to the surviving SU-24 pilot - he must have been paying close attention during his E&E training. Hiding in the woods and remaining uncaptured until the rescue team got him out. Respect.
