Des frappes russes, dont une sur un marché de la ville de Nikopol, ont fait au moins six morts et de nombreux blessés, samedi 4 avril 2026, selon les autorités locales, alors que la Russie multiplie ses attaques aériennes en journée.

Devant 30 000 fidèles, le pape a présidé, le vendredi 3 avril au soir, le traditionnel chemin de croix au pied du Colisée à Rome. Pour son premier Vendredi saint comme chef de l’Église catholique, Léon XIV avait confié les méditations à l’ancien Custode de Terre sainte, tout un symbole alors que la région est plongée dans la guerre. Un moment alliant ferveur et recueillement pour pleurer les guerres qui déchirent le monde et demander la paix.

This sucks but is part of the thing. Iran is big. You're talking about a possible LONG RANGE TRAP MISSION. And that mission is gonna be over territory that shot down an F-15 so you know our V-22s/CH-53s/CH-47s are vulnerable as hell. Additionally we're down tankers and since we don't want our aircrew slaughtered by savages or captured and paraded on YouTube/Tik-Tok/Instagram that means (at least in my mind) every other aerial operation is on pause to support this effort. I'm assuming that we have every recon asset circling the downed airplane which make me wonder if they're even putting together a package to track our people if they were captured and to go rescue them. 
 The biggest WTF in my mind is that it was claimed we had air superiority so why are our crews flying low enough to get hit? What is going on with our countermeasures? If Iran can knock down our planes after we've destroyed our air force then what the fuck is going on?
