It became evident to foreign observers in 2013 AT FIRST that Russian Ilyushin Il-76 plane is second worst plane in Russian aviation incidents wise - it became evident that MOST OF INCIDENTS WITHIN RUSSIAN MILITARY AVIATION GO SIMPLY UNREPORTED AND THIS EVEN ALONG RUSSIAN UKRAINIAN BORDER AND WHAT LEFT A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT NOT ONLY ON FACES OF WESTERN OBSERVERS, BUT ALSO TEAM FROM INDIA ETC. WHO WARNED ME TO NOT GET INTO

JUST AS HE CASE WAS WITH THE INTERROGATION PROCEDURES WHICH MOSCOW AND KIEV AGREED WOULD GO ON THROUGHOUT RUSSIA(THEY
HAD WHAT APPEARED UKRAINIAN PEOPLE DELIVERED FOR INTERROGATION TO MOSCOW ALREADY BACK IN 2013 AS THE TWO SIDES AGREED TO NO NAZI POLICY MEANING UKRAINIAN SIDE WOULD SELECT CERTAIN TEAMS OF WHAT THEY BELIEVED WERE BAD PEOPLE AND SIMPLY LEAVE THEM BEHIND FOR RUSSIAN SIDE TO EITHER DESTROY THEM ENTIRELY OR PICK THEM UP AND "PLAY" WITH THEM IN RUSSIA), THE SAME WENT ON WITH

FIGHTER JETS/MILITARY PLANES ALONG RUSSO UKRAINIAN BORDER - VIDEO RECORDINGS OF THOSE IF PEOPLE HAD WOULDN'T BE RELEASED TILL COMING WAR.

EXAMPLE - Ukrainian Lieutenant Colonel Oleh Babii, supposedly killed in action on Aug. 30, 2023 not only repeatedly participated with Zelenaky and Putin in war negotiations at the same table, but was approved for "job" by Putin based on his background for which Ukrainian Lieutenant Colonel Oleh Babii claimed no longer wants to live in Ukraine but instead in new life Russia - since Russia and Ukraine wanted to portray Ukrainian loss of war as form of struggle of smaller against invincible bigger, Ukraine was to be portrayed aldo by Russia as a super formidable opponent which, however, had to loose war against Russia. One of such insane events that was to take place was exactly destruction of Russian TU-22M3 bombers in what became final Aug. 19 attack at the Soltsy military airfield in Russia - a good night dream story for which Zelensky and Putin referred to me as, a candy for military commando types like myself. Something to poison mind with.

I THUS RULE OUT ANY FURTHER INVESTIGATION OUTCOMES THAT WOULD DERIVE FROM COMING INVESTIGATION - ALL EUROPEAN AND INTERNATIONAL OBSERVES/INVESTIGATORS WHEN WITNESSING RUSSO UKRAINIAN DEALINGS HAD NOTHING BUT COMPLIED WITH WHATEVER TWO SIDES PRESENTED CASE AS. THE THING IS, NOBODY SHOULD BE EVER LEFT BEHIND AND SPECIALLY NOT THOSE DEFENDING FRONT LINES - AS FOR NAZIS, EVEN BLACK PEOPLE IN AFRICA WHO LOVED TO DRESS WELL WERE IDENTIFIED AS SUCH AS SOON AS I APPROACHED THEM. RUSSO AMERICANS HAVE WITH BRITONS AND OTHERS FOUND NAZIS EVERYWHERE AND IF THEY WERE NONE, THEY OFFERED MONEY WHATEVER IT TOOK TO MAKE THEM AND SO IT WENT IN ASIA, THROUGHOUT AFRICA, SOUTH AMERICA EVEN IN ISRAEL THEY FOUND NAZIS - THOSE WHO REFUSED TO SEE THE SCHIZO WAY AS POLITICIANS DICTATED TO SEE MY CASE AS WERE AUTOMATICALLY LABELED AS NAZIS. IDENTIFYING YOURSELF WITH SUFFERING OF TORTURED INDIVIDUAL RESULTED IN IMMEDIATE NAZIFICATION. NOW ALLOWED AND ITS WHY I ALSO(ONE MORE REASON) SAY NO TO ZELENSKY. I FOUND AT LEAST 5 RUSSIAN FIGHTER JETS INCIDENTS WHICH RUSSIA RELEASED AS INCIDENTS WHICH TOOK PLACE ON RUSSIAN SOIL DURING 2022, 2023 AND WERE ALL RELATED TO PREVIOUS INCIDENTS THAT TOOK PLACE IN EARLIER TIME. WHAT CRUSHED ME THE MOST WAS WHEN WESTERN SIDE SUCH AS AMERICANS EVEN BEGUN TO SUGGEST INDIAN SIDE THAT IT IS NORMAL TO NOT REPORT ALL INCIDENTS THUS MAKING THE WHOLE PICTURE AS GRIM AS POSSIBLE LEAVING ME AND OTHERS WITH THOUGHTS ON HOW WHATEVER TAKES PLACE IN RUSSIA EVEN ALONG UKRAINIAN BORDER - NEVER GETS OUT ON A PLAIN SIGHT FOR PEOPLE TO VIEW AND KNOW TRUTH https://ausertimes.blogspot.com/2024/01/russia-is-fighting-its-end-war-in-vein.html 

WHEN YOU COME TO RUSSIA AS POW, THE BIGGEST DANGER YOU WILL GET TO MEET IS A MAN LISTED BY UKRAINIANS AS A HERO KILLED IN ACTION - HE WILL GET HIS PAWS ON YOU AND THERE IS NO ESCAPE AS FOR REAL EVIL IS HIDING FROM BEHIND GATES OF KIEV. LITTLE HAS CHANGED AT THE TOP OF UKRAINIAN STATE IF ANYTHING.

TO PREVENT LOSS OF BRADLEYS TO RUSSIANS, ALLWAYS MAINTAIN PRESENCE OF WESTERN MILITARY ANALYSTS ALSO ON A WAR FIELD, SO THEY ARE MAKING IT SURE NOT ONLY EQUIPMENT BUT ALSO THE BEST OF UKRAINE PEOPLE WON'T GO TO WASTE.

ZELENSKY DEATH THREATENED(HE IS ONE HELL OF A PSYCHIATRIC ADDICT THIS MAN - LOVES PSYCHIATRY) ME IF I WOULD GET INTO WRITING AS SEEN HERE WHICH I AM PROUD TO PRESENT WORLD WITH. 

WHO KNOWS WHAT TOOK PLACE WITH RUSSIAN PLANES WHICH RUSSIAN MILITARY PREPARED FOR WHATEVER THEIR NEEDS WERE. MANY OF THOSE PLANES DUE TO LIMITED NUMBER PRODUCED WERE SIMPLY NEEDY OF EMERGENCY REPAIRS AND THAT MEANT PARTS WERE STRIPPED OFF THOSE PLANES BEFORE LISTED TO POSE AS COMMANDO CANDY BY PUTIN.

I AM AGAINST NAZISM AND ALLWAYS WILL REMAIN, BUT FOR MANY UKRAINIAN PEOPLE IN THEIR LOVELY UKRAINE, THOSE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE CHANCE TO LEARN WHAT FREEDOM IS. NEXT TO DEPARTURE ABROAD, THEY ARE JOBLESS/ FRUSTRATED AND RUINED VIA EMPLOYMENT ISSUES FROM BOTH SIDES OF BORDER AND EVEN TERRORIZED I ANTICIPATE WITH MK ULTRA REIGNING HEAVILY FROM UKRAINE ALL THE WAY TO MOSCOW. UKRAINIAN SIDE DETERMINED WITH RUSSIANS BEFORE HAND ABOUT WHICH UKRAINIANS NEED TO BE POW AND THATS NOT EXACTLY NICE. DOGS BARKING AT ONE ANOTHER FROM BOTH SIDES OF BORDER, ON PLANE THERE WAS ALSO THEIR RUSSIAN COMRADES KILLED WHO WERE ABOUT TO TRANSPORT THEM BACK TO UKRAINE.

For your being fit to serve in military, you should be evaluated as there is no place in militarily for nazis to hold arms in their hands of any kind.

JUST AS BRADLEYS OR EVEN MORE, UKRAINIAN MILITARY NEEDS WESTERN TROOPS ON THEIR SIDE TO ENSURE A SMOOTH TRANSITION OF SOVIET GOVERNMENT INTO THE HANDS OF UKRAINE.

SOVIET UNION WAS RUSSIAN COLONIALISM WHICH RUSSIA WOULD LOVE BACK - ITS HOW RUSSIA HAVE SEEN AND USED PUTIN FOR IS WHAT PUTIN'S TEAM CLAIMED WITH ISRAELI REPRESENTATIVES WHOM I ALREADY HAVE INTERROGATED DURING MK ULTRA DELIBERATELY DECLINING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR PUTIN(A JEWISH INDIVIDUAL RATHER THAN RUSSIAN IS WHAT PUTIN'S TEAM POINTED ME PICTURE AS THUS SPLITTING BLAME FOR AGGRESSION ON UKRAINE FROM HIS JEWISH ORIGINS UNTO RUSSIAN http://ausertimes.blogspot.com/2024/01/russia-is-fighting-its-end-war-in-vein.html - CRIME SUPPORTED FOR ME TO SEE ONE AS ALSO BY BRITISH, GERMANS AND ALL OTHERS FROM WEST FOR WHICH I ALSO KNOW VIDEO I PREVIOUSLY RELEASED WAS AND IS FACTUAL ACCOUNT OF WHAT WENT ON AND WHAT GOES ON), BUT WHAT SOON WILL GROW INTO SOMETHING ELSE AS I DESCRIBED ON PREVIOUS POST IF NOT STOPPED BY RUSSIANS IN RUSSIA. DANGER EXISTS FOR BOTH SIDES TO CEASE TO EXIST. NAZIS AS THOSE SEEN IN UKRAINE ARE UNIVERSAL ALL OVER THE WORLD AND ARE HIDING IN EVERY HUMAN BEING ON THIS PLANET.

ONCE THEY GET YOUR ATTENTION, THEY ALSO MAKE SURE YOU WILL NEED THEM...THATS HOW COLONIALISM WORKS(you first profiled and then offered services even those you don't want via war related issues - side you must pick to no longer see yourself in mirror).

VLADIMIR PUTIN EMPLOYED SOVIET TACTICS WITH HIS UKRAINIAN COUNTERPART ZELENSKY EXTREMELY EFFICIENTLY ITO A PROCEDURE OF TOTAL SELF DESTRUCTION OF RUSSIA AS SOON RUSSIA WILL BE NO MORE.

THERE ARE MAPS DEPICTING RUSSIAN PART OF SIBERIA TO BE SOON WITH CHINESE FLAG - YOUTUBE VIDEOS CIRCLE....PERHAPS ITS TIME TO UPDATE YOUTUBE VIDEOS GUYS AND PAINT THOSE MAPS INSTEAD WITH FLAGS OF BRITISH AND US AND OTHERS. THERE WAS NO REASON FOR LACK OF ASSISTANCE TO UKRAINE FROM WEST UP TO DATE OTHER THAN WHAT I STATED HERE. WAR THAT DRAGS ON AND IS AS BLOODY AS THE ONE IN UKRAINE DEMONSTRATING ALONGSIDE WAR ALSO TONES OF VIDEOS ABOUT RUSSIANS HOW THEY SUFFER IN RUSSIA DUE TO POVERTY IF NOT KILLED ON FRONT LINES OF UKRAINE - WELL, WAR THAT JUST CAN'T BE REVERSED, IS ALLWAYS STOPPED WITH MUCH GREATER ESCALATION OF ONE ON ENEMY'S TERRITORY AND THIS IS ANOTHER PROOF THAT DEFENSE OF UKRAINE BY WEST IS CONCENTRATED ON EITHER SALE OF UKRAINE OR TOTAL TAKE DOWN OF RUSSIA.

Always very nice with me(he really was) Ukrainian Lieutenant Colonel Oleh Babii NEVER COULD UNDERSTAND UNDER MK ULTRA WHY I DIDN'T LIKE HIM....

THE REAL QUESTION IS - WHERE IS THE MONEY(NOT ONLY MONEY, BUT PEOPLE ALONG THE MONEY CAUSE PEOPLE NEED JOBS) HEADING NEXT !!????? WHY SO MANY PEOPLE JOBLESS !!????

A Ukrainian reconnaissance unit, led by fallen Colonel Oleh Babii, was responsible for the destruction or disabling of three Russian Tu-22M3 bombers in August 2023, Ukraine's military intelligence agency (HUR) revealed on Jan. 23.

Last summer, the Russian Air Force suffered five bombers damaged or destroyed in a series of attacks attributed by the Ukrainian media to Ukraine's military intelligence. Russian forces regularly use Tu-22M3 bombers, commonly armed with AS-4 heavy anti-ship missiles, in airstrikes against Ukraine.

The military intelligence agency now confirmed that Kyiv was responsible for the sabotage of at least three of these planes, revealing new details of the operation.

Babii and his unit reportedly covered over 600 kilometers on foot through enemy territory to "stop the Russian terrorist bombardment of peaceful Ukrainian cities."

Making their way to the Russian rear, the unit successfully destroyed one bomber and disabled two others, the military intelligence agency said.

The operation "destabilized the operation of airfields and air bases" and "caused significant economic losses to the aggressor country and started panic among the local population and Russian military personnel," according to the agency.

While heading back to Ukrainian-held territory, the group was reportedly ambushed by Russian forces. In an uneven fight on Aug. 30, 2023, Babii was killed while covering the retreat of his soldiers, according to the report.

Babii, who was survived by his wife and two children, was posthumously awarded the title of Hero of Ukraine.

The colonel was a seasoned officer who led nine reconnaissance forays into the Russian rear. He was also responsible for 12 special operations in Russia or in support of resistance in the Russian-occupied territory of Ukraine, the military agency said.

Babii's operations reportedly had a significant effect on the tide of the war. Thanks to his unit, "it was possible to disrupt Russian logistics and destroy important targets and critical infrastructure elements."

Russian Bombers Were Destroyed in Russia After 600 Kilometers Spec Ops Infiltration

Ukraine’s military intelligence department disclosed details of a special operation during which three Russian Tu-22M3 bombers were destroyed at the Soltsy airfield in the Novgorod region of Russia.

Ukraine’s military intelligence department (HUR) disclosed for the first time the details of a special operation conducted last August, that destroyed or disabled three Russian TU-22M3 bombers, using drones.

A special forces unit, commanded by the Hero of Ukraine, Colonel Oleh Babii, covered more than 600 kilometers on foot through Russian territory in order to carry out the task.

As Kyiv Post reported at the time the aircraft had been used to launch missile attacks against civilian targets in Ukraine.

Having accomplished the task deep in the enemy’s rear, the reconnaissance team began their extraction with their commander, Oleh Babii, providing cover. He was killed covering the withdrawal of his men.

An HUR statement said: “Returning to the territory controlled by Ukraine, Colonel Oleh Babii's reconnaissance group was ambushed and engaged in an unequal battle with Russian invaders. In this battle, on Aug. 30, 2023, covering the retreat of his comrades-in-arms, Ukrainian reconnaissance man Oleh Babii was mortally wounded and killed.”

For his deeds, Oleh Babii was posthumously awarded the title of Hero of Ukraine and the Order of the Golden Star.

At the time the Aug. 19 attack the Soltsy military airfield was credited to drones, which were described as “copter-type UAV [unmanned aerial vehicle]” by Russia’s Defense Ministry.

The relatively short range of this type of drone led to immediate speculation, by the UK defence ministry among others, that the drones must have been launched from within Russian territory
