From what I have heard, we have already trained Ukrainian pilots to use Gripen, and I seem to recall that we sent an aid package a while ago with Gripens spares to enable a quick deployment once everything was signed
TVP World is the English service of the Polish state broadcaster. With the PiS populists in power, the broadcaster was a major source of far-right populist propaganda. They lost power to centrists (Tusk and Co) in 2023.
While the Polish state radio is quite good now, the TV is still a shill for the government. It's just not far-right anymore.

It's fine if you go through all the consent settings and turn them off, except for the tick box that says "I object to the..." blah blah can't remember everything it said.
Another day, another war crime, with a civilian area bombed, and no consequences for the aggressor once again. Was it the US or Israel mass murdering civilians today? Nope, it was Russia's turn. Still, it's only early in the week ...
I case anyone is also wondering that bombs measured in tons of explosives sounds pretty close to nuclear, where I vaguely remembered the number 15 tons - in case of nuclear weapons, it was kilotons, so thousand times as much.
While the MOAB is the largest conventional bomb used by the U.S., Russia tested the "Father of All Bombs" (FOAB) in 2007, which is claimed to have a blast yield four times greater than the MOAB, though specifications are disputed.

I hope Ukraine gets our Gripens as soon as possible, preferably complete with Meteor missiles from the start, this shit can't keep going.

It is probably a year before we'll see them in action, factoring in delivery and training time, sadly.

I just wish we EU countries would cancel our fucking F35 orders and order the same monetary amount in Gripens instead.

Site is being reported as cancer on mobile, but it looks safe on my side. If anyone is seeing anything off, let me know and I'll pull it.

Used to be Polish (far-right) state TV propaganda. But some years ago, Polish PM Donald Tusk cleansed all state media and it should be ok now.

I tried the privacy setting to not consent. And the UI was clearly built to mislead. So I backed out.

Always good advice! I run Firefox on mobile with the usual plugins and avoid a lot of silliness and nonsense.

I would guess they chose that target because any larger city's air defense systems would have shot the Bomb down before impact.

Interesting that this is posted around the same time that I saw a post about Israel dropping big new bombs on Gaza.
