I think they’re confused as to the purpose and origins of piano burning in the RAF. But they’ve made it their own….

Ukraine’s Outspoken MiG-29 Pilot “Juice” Killed During Mission
….One series of videos, originally published by the Operational News of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, shows a traditional tribute paid to the fallen pilots through a piano-burning: a ritual that is said to date back to the World War II-era U.K. Royal Air Force and which has since been adopted elsewhere, too. The original tweet with those videos also revealed the callsigns of the other deceased pilots: “Minka” and “Prokazin.”

Very interesting vlog by Ryan Mcbeth* where he analyses the Tucker Carlson interview with Col (ret'd ) Macgregor - heavy-duty Russian apologist - and the likely veracity of his claims.
* 20 years service in US Army, ret'd as SSgt, with IT degree, worked as analyst for Accenture (?) , now full-time vlogger.

According to sources quoted by RBC Ukraine, #Ukraine's Security Service attacked the Kursk airfield at night, using drones.
Among the targets were four Su-30 aircraft, one MiG-29, an S-300 radar and two Panstir air defense systems.
Almost all of the drones hit their targets, with only three being intercepted by Russian air defenses.

Another Wagner Cemetery destroyed, Russia is making a point. Or is it? Apparently they are modernising both graveyards and the crosses will be replaced with “granite tank traps” on the graves.

Latest news from the front.
In another crazy story, in the vicinity of #Robotyne, 52 Russian soldiers beat the commander and surrendered with him to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It all started with the mobs complaining about the lack of food and ammunition, after which things spiraled out of control.
