I think you underestimate the amount of logistics, coordination, and technology it would take to complete an operation like that in a hostile country. Its not about underestimating anyone, its about being realistic in regards to their capabilities.

Ukraine is very technically literate and already had the capacity to innovate. It's where at least 40% of scientific advancement in the USSR came from. It's where much of the USSR's industry was located. It has never been solely a breadbasket. Especially in the western part where Jewish skilled artisans immigrated to under Polish/Lithuanian rule, along with to Belorussia. They were invited by very Catholic Poland/Lithuanian.

Do you have a legitimate source for that?

Igor Alexandroff who was a physics professor at both St. Petersburg and Kiev universities in the USSR as well as on the board which decided which scientific projects were funded.
You wouldn't know about him or any actual Soviet scientist anyway

After 9/11 I wouldn’t under estimate anybody.

So I'm going to take it as a no on the legit source, you just made up the 40%. Good to know.

That op is way more complex than hijacking a plane
Which, btw, almost never happen anymore since 9/11 because of reforms made on security.

Why is it that Volsquat posts about how he feels about something with no basis pre 2023 yet everyone else has to cite some source he approves of to be credible?

Your opinion, but there were more than one plane, one pilot, 1 crew of hijacker’s.
Again, you aren’t giving Ukraine much credit here.
JMHO

I genuinely wanted to see some proof of it. Sorry that I actually ended up exposing that you were completely making something up

I don't think it should be controversial to say they probably had some help. Even help planning is help.

Ukrainian report
Ukrainian Post
Pokrovsk direction: The enemy has broken through to the Pokrovske coal mine north of Udachne and has partially secured its territory. This is not full control but enough to use the mine as a stronghold for further actions. Our FPV drones have already yielded results: part of the attacking group of swinehogs has been destroyed, but the fighting continues. The enemy does not stop and judging by the pace, is preparing to press the position and develop the offensive further.
Strategically, they have two logical vectors of development: The first is northward, towards the Pavlohrad–Pokrovsk highway. Advancing there will give the enemy a direct artery for supply and maneuver, as well as the ability to pressure approaches to Pokrovsk from the north. The second is westward, towards the border with Dnipropetrovsk region, where they can secure themselves to ensure a flank in case of our countermeasures. Both vectors are dangerous because they allow them either to openly advance along the highways or try to bypass the defense with a continuous deep line.
Also east of Kotlyne, the enemy took control of section No. 13 of the railway track. Control of this section allows them to start flanking maneuvers and creates a threat of encircling Pokrovsk from the west — a scenario in which the city will be under double pressure!"

Any updates on the top secret technology you were working on with them?

He already told us his made up technology failed. I'm sure he has another made up innovation coming.

What Keeps Putin Awake at Night? Veterans Returning From Ukraine
The Kremlin is increasingly concerned that the return of tens of thousands of veterans from the war in Ukraine—including many former prisoners—may pose a serious internal threat to Vladimir Putin’s regime.
According to the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine (SZRU) on October 7, Russian authorities anticipate that returning soldiers may become a destabilizing force, both politically and socially, particularly as they face reintegration into a society marked by low wages, economic uncertainty, and limited social support.
“According to the Kremlin’s estimates, veterans could become a catalyst for criminal and political destabilization capable of shaking the system built around Putin’s personal loyalty,” the SZRU said in a public statement.
Ukrainian intelligence draws a parallel to the 1990s, when Soviet veterans returning from the war in Afghanistan formed criminal and paramilitary groups that contributed to a surge in organized crime across Russia.

GROK on Ukraine # of F-16's.
quote:
Current Status of F-16 Jets in Ukraine (as of October 8, 2025)Ukraine's F-16 fleet has grown significantly since the first deliveries in August 2024, primarily from the Netherlands and Denmark, with contributions from Norway and limited support from the U.S. for spare parts. Based on official announcements, defense reports, and timelines from donor countries, Ukraine currently operates approximately 60 F-16 fighter jets. This number accounts for deliveries through early October 2025, minus confirmed losses (at least 3 aircraft). Exact figures are often classified for operational security, but estimates converge around 55-65 operational jets.

I would not be suprised if Emergency meetings are being called in Ukraine. Breakthroughs are happening across the frontline.
"The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, due to breakthroughs by the Russian army, announced changes in the names of the operational directions of the front, effectively admitting the loss of extensive territories
The statement of the Armed Forces of Ukraine acknowledges that the names are changing due to "changes in the operational situation":
Seversk - Slavyansk
Toretsk - Kostiantynivka
Novopavlovsk-Oleksandrivka"
