>billions of dollars in fragile, irreplaceable hardware which provides a massive economic boost plus civic pride in having modern, First World transportation infrastructure>Ukraine refuses to attack it
>>65098643Same reason Russia doesn't nook, neither side want to escalate further and the international backlash would be huge. Most of those planes are not owned by Russia.
>>65098643They are saving it for a war prize in reparations when they win! Shrewd move.
>>65098660>Most of those planes are not owned by Russia.Russia stole them and has no plans on paying for them.
>>65098670They are a chip to be traded eventually when a peace is reached.
>>65098675Just shut up.
>>65098684>there will be no peaceWhy do you think the Russian will to fight will survive longer than Putin?
>>65098691Nobody needs to hear the thoughts of someone with 60 IQ. Just stop talking.
>>65098696You think hitting the planes is a good idea, it is not, you are angry and calling others stupid because you didn't think about 2nd and 3rd order effects.
>>65098643Ukraine doesn't have vedeve
>>65098643>Ukraine refuses to attack itUkraine, as far as I know, doesnt target civilian-centric infrastructure, they have struck trains and shit like that, but attacking a civil airport is terrorist tier.>billions of dollars in fragile, irreplaceable hardware which provides a massive economic boost plus civic pride in having modern, First World transportation infrastructureIt isnt like this is the only large airport in Russia, and Ukraine would probably get much of their western backing removed as consequence for attacking a civilian target.
>>65098929Russia shuts down airports whenever a ukie drone wave approaches, targetting the airports is not required.HItting refineries is more cost efficient. Maybe pipelines and pumping stations, soon.
>>65098643Why waste drones on a target surrounded by air defenses that doesn’t generate any significant revenue for the war effort?
>why doesn't ukraine stop attacking oil infrastructure to focus on some old civilian planes? what a stupid thread
>>65098643The Ukrainians actually have ethics and shit.
>>65098643>civic pride in having modern, First World transportation infrastructureThat's great and all, but economically insignificant.Blowing up a refinery or port is infinitly more damaging to the Russian economy.Blowing up one critical railway bridge would do more harm to Russia than nuking that shitty ariport.
Have it easy on OP, not everyone has three-digit IQ okay??
>>65098643go on and attack it thenI would personally bomb kiev in 2 hours
Literal zigger logic>we should kill civilians!!!!
>>65099392a civilian is just a plainclothes soldier
>>65098643I'd rather see them go after the power substations that run Russia's electric locomotives.
>>65099392It’s an age-old Asian logic:Bully the civilians until the army surrenders.And when the army surrenders, they kill everyone.
>>65098643>billions of dollars in fragile, irreplaceable hardwareit's not though>billionsonly to build initially, repairs are much much cheaper>fragileare only the airplanes and logisticsairplanes aren't from Russia (you can literally see one Turkish Airlines airplane)and much of the logistics complexity is in processes not physical hardware>irreplaceableyeah no, they'll just ask China>provides a massive economic boostyes butyou severely overestimate the damage of a temporarily closed airport thoughit's also only "abstract" damage, i.e. lower economic growthhitting things like oil terminals have direct monetary damage for Russia's gov also it's civilian infrastructure...
Those aircraft are worthless. Since being stolen by Russia, the chain of custody for their maintenance records/tech logs is gone. No airline would touch the things with a barge pole because they now have no idea how many flights hours or pressurisation cycles it's been through, how much accumulated or acute demand has been placed on the electrics, hydraulics, any of it. There's now no way to know how close any of its components are to their next maintenance cycle or what type and level of maintenance each system might need, or even if there's any existing problems that have yet to fully show themselves. Not short of tearing the whole thing apart down to the bolt at least, which is not exactly cost effective.The rightful owners have just filed insurance claims and written them off, it would be outright illegal to operate a passenger service on an airframe with a tech log that was just a printout of some guy shrugging.
Attacking civilian infrastructure, or out right terror bombing like russian are doing is an extremely jewish way of war.
>>65099428>yeah no, they'll just ask Chinaask China for what? China's ONLY domestically produced jet airliner, the Comac C919, has only 42 manufactured over the last 11 years.
>>65099429Thirdie cargo carriers would still use them but airlines are out.
>>65099434Distinctly possible, fair point, but they're gonna get what they fucking deserve if they do and something important comes unglued at 500mph and 30,000 feet. I would only hope it was the decisionmakers in the cockpit at the time.
>>65099429>No airline would touch the things with a barge pole because they now have no idea how many flights hours or pressurisation cycles it's been through, how much accumulated or acute demand has been placed on the electrics, hydraulics, any of it.You have clearly never seen how African, Indian, Chinese and to a lesser extent South American airlines operate. There's an airline in Africa that routinely flies like old DC-10s and dash 8s at like 10,000 to 12,000 feet because they can't keep them pressurised. They'll buy those planes from Russia and be happy to get them.
>>65099440How absolutely horrific. I guess at least they'll pay so little for the things that they aren't worth a drone strike to deny the sale?
>>65099431Oh those filthy Jewish Iranians!
>>65099451>How absolutely horrific.It gets worse. The reason I know about them is our military, I won't say which one, wanted to charter them to fly troops into the mideast during the GWOT because they were cheap. Fortunately it didn't happen, probably because someone responsible looked over their safety regulations and presumably screamed and had to have a lie down.
>>65098643>terror bombingukraine only does that to its own citizens
>>65099480Has anyone else noticed since the sanctions were lifted, this kind of low effort shitposting to flood the zone has come back a lot? Almost like some people are getting paid again.
>>65099483Not really, you probably haven't seen the shitfest here during major happenings a few years ago.
>>65098660>pozzia does not nook because le gesture of goodwill and "escalation"This is your brain on terminal western stupidity
>>65099494Make an actual informed, educated thought before posting. It isn't even decent trolling at this point, your just being lazy.
>>65099494K, Russia doesn't nook because their nukes are long nonfunctional, stolen or sold on the black market.Does that interpretation make you feel better?
>>65099666>>65099690She's upset because she has a thirdies understanding of war>lets just break shit
>>65098696Where is your rebuttal?
there are Chinese, Indian, Turkish, Saudi, UAE etc planes in this airport. Damaging those would backfire very badly for Ukraine and HATO
>>65099452Same difference, they're all desert people
>>65098929>but attacking a civil airport is terrorist tier.Like what's happening on civilian airports in Iran? Oh wait, then they're reclassified as military airports with regime airplanes of course.
>>65100078>trump's war is shit, news at 11Everyone knew that, yet you faggots managed to stoop even lower.Also, make your own thread.
>>65099341>Blowing up a refinery or port is infinitly more damaging to the Russian economy.It's not, though. Loss of prospective profit is NOT the same as loss of current possessions. Note how everyone was crying "genocide" over Israel bulldozing a few hundred million dollars in Gazan housing. We could also say that the Gazan women not prostituting themselves to their foreign neighbors is also the "loss" of hundreds of millions of dollars, but is that the exact same thing as them going back to a bulldozed house? Their not making money through prostitution is not the same as them losing their houses, and the destruction of their houses is more meaningful.If someone were attacking Texas oil refineries right now to the point where US oil exports dropped a bit, would that impact you more than if someone bombed a bridge you need to cross to go to work every day? Even if the loss is more in dollar amount than the bridge costs, the dollars are just going into the Exxon/Mobil CEO's pockets while as long as the bridge is out you don't get to eat.The bridge is more important to the bedrock functioning of the economy. Selling excess oil is a luxury. Attacking Russia's airliners means that a meaningful transportation network is destroyed. There's a reason we are willing to spend billions on airliners, because they're worth the cost. Airliners are more of a military target than the oil refineries since Ukraine isn't putting a dent in their domestic oil supply while airliners support the weapons manufacturing infrastructure. Airliners provide more to Russia's military than Kiev's power plants do to Ukraine's, and Russia hits Ukraine's power plants on a daily basis. They're a valid target.
>>65099666>>65099690Pozzia can't nook ook in a chimp out because their chink overlords banned the idea you stupid cunts. Not because chinks care about ukraine, lol no, but because they dont want nuclear taiwan. Because proliferation happens the minute westerns predictably cuck out. Who is going to retaliate for a MIRV carpeting downtown kyiv? Sent with the explicit purpose of acking as many ukranians as possible. Frenchies that always talk big shit and always underdeliver? UK lead by bureaucrats like stahmer that have the intimidation factor of a baby lamb and warheads on US missiles? Trump? Lol. He would blame ukraine for bringing it upon themselves and then ban brits from doing anything. As that threatens the bribes him and his trailer trash family want from muscovia
