Returning to the condition of Lukashenko and his possible demise (last post was on the reinforcement of Russian troops in Belarus to suppress any dissent after his death)
IS SOMETHING COOKING IN BELARUS?
Two FSB planes flew to Belarus, and Viktor Lukashenko (son of Belarus Dictator Alexander) flew to China.
This very same FSB aircraft was last seen in Minsk on August 18 & 26, 2020. During that occasion, the Director of the FSB, Nikolai Patrushev, flew on it.
Dictator’s son may be setting up succession details (for after his father kicks the bucket), or seeking financial support from China.
Dictator’s son arrived in Beijing at 17:03 local time today. He is likely seeking money or other backing for succession.

Or he is worried that Putin after getting rid of Daddy would find him next on the list.
Evgeny Popov, the TV/polly is espousing a theory that UK polls are fair game as are UK DOD staff, as they are providing, and I quote, "the terrorist Ukrainian Govt" long range weapons. Comments that "3,000" Russian homes have been destroyed in Belgorod, That is impressive as a statistic, assume that it would take the Russian air and army might to achieve that level or civilian damage, not seen as yet by anything as evidence. A bit of satellite time would be worth the effort overhead.
Russia misses the irony of calling Ukraine terrorists for using drones etc to attack military targets inside Russia that are part of the criminal action against Ukraine by Moscow. Apparently they forgot they invaded a sovereign country in 2014, shot down an airliner, murdered civilians, and targeted civil populations, transported populations etc... seems "terrorist" meaning is rather dependent on opinion not facts.
An interesting and sad juxtaposition of headlines today, from the New York Times. This says it all - much cognitive dissonance.

Russia Denounces West Over Drone Strike on Moscow. Kremlin officials said Ukraine’s allies should have condemned the strike, and argued again that its real war was with the West.
Another Early Morning Attack in Kyiv Kills Three. Among the dead were two children, the city’s mayor said. Russia has recently increased the pace and intensity of its strikes on the capital.

If this is true then even the best Russian air defence system S-400 Triumph is unable to defend itself from HIMARS although it should be able to track and shoot down ballistic missiles.

I was going to post that yesterday but a comment said it had an axle photoshopped on to it, so didn't as I was unsure about it.. There is also a launcher hit somewhere.

The Kerch bridge isn’t looking too healthy.
Build in haste . . . repent at leisure. Who did they use to build those supports, Bodgitt & Scarper?

Loys of aerial activity today, RAF, NATO, USAF, French, Swedish, plus subcontractors; way more than usual.

Europe’s leaders meet in Russia’s shadow
CHIȘINĂU — Gathering more than 40 European leaders in Moldova on Thursday will be a symbolic thumb in Vladimir Putin’s eye — a sign of collective commitment to join hands against Moscow.
It’s also a major risk.
Literally and metaphorically, the so-called European Political Community’s second summit is taking place in Russia’s backyard, a region Putin sees as part of Moscow’s sphere of influence. That makes getting several dozen world leaders in and out no easy task.
Moldova has closed its airspace for the duration of the summit and NATO surveillance planes will keep a watchful eye — a nod to the constant threat of Russian incursions. Access to the main airport has been restricted — a recognition of the myriad fake bomb alerts there since the start of the war…..
In addition to the aviation restrictions, the country is essentially locking in residents near Castle Mimi, a winery strategically chosen to host the summit 35 kilometers outside the capital, Chișinău.
Locals have been asked to carry special permits to leave their homes while leaders are around and Moldovans have been given a public holiday.
Journalists are also only permitted to travel to Castle Mimi on two specially chartered trains, leaving at 6 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. from the Chișinău central train station….
