    Islamabad UFO Seen for over 2 hours

    I don't understand this reasoning. If there's a kite in the air on a steady breeze, there's a point underneath the kite from which an observer would see the kite as directly above. This is independent of the altitude of the kite. The elevation angle only means something in terms of altitude...

    I see Georgia and Afghanistan in Asia, but CSSR 1968 and Kosovo 1999 probably qualify.

    A virtual model illustrating some aspects of the collapse of the WTC Towers

    Poland and Romania are flying MiGs. I expect the probe for a NATO drogue is easily refitted.

    Russia and Ukraine Current Events

    Are you sure the clip you saw wasn't game footage? There's a lot of "repurposed" video and images going around. Facebook and Twitter posts purporting to show Russia’s attacks on Ukraine actually showed a range of different events, from a 2015 warehouse explosion in China to 2021 Israeli air...

    Chernobyl during Russia and Ukraine Conflict

    The International Atomic Energy Agency says it's not that bad. Experts at Ukraine's state nuclear agency said the change was due to the movement of heavy military equipment in the area lifting radioactive dust into the air. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said the radiation at...

Russia has not taken any of its major objectives in the first 24 hours of its invasion of Ukraine and has lost more than 450...

    Russia and Ukraine Current Events

    That's not the point. Pre-2014, Ukraine would have received weapons like these from Russia. They were cooperating with Russia militarily, while now they're cooperating with the West. Western militaries training Ukrainian soldiers was unthinkable in the past. Have another look at your TASS link...
