@AnalogNotDigital Ah I found BBC, Reuters and AP quoting the Ukranian SBU " SBU officially confirmed it had carried out the strikes, saying that “34% of [Russia’s] strategic cruise missile carriers” were hit" - bbc.com/news/articles/c1ld7ppr… - and that " Tu-95 and Tu-22M3, as well as A-50 were destroyed" - Claims not yet independently verified. - It sounds like a massive hit but I have a feeling that we might see independent claims downgrading the figure a bit. The “strategic cruise missile carriers” is also a bit of qualifier. I would assume that there are independent estimates of what usable air power Russia has. I’m not seeing those chime in yet.

@Bonifratz @AnalogNotDigital I was interested in this - can you share where this figure came from / how calculated?

@Bonifratz @AnalogNotDigital Do you have sources for those stats?

@Skiluros Totally understand. Its marginal…but still important

@Skiluros Also read bbc.com/culture/article/201908…

@Skiluros Sure… so you need to work away at changing minds which never really works if you are just yelling at people.

I think the opportunity is to demonstrate that Sat TV could be the space (sic) where people.might prefer to go to get away from wall to wall news.

I think this article is an interesting read…ridl.io/how-the-war-changed-ru… and a quote “Some entertainment and infotainment programs were removed from the broadcast schedule.” - That is something that external broadcasters could fill.

@Skiluros Agree … but making information and entertainment together attracts people and opens the opportunity provide alternative views to people who are primarily consumers of TV. Its about working away on the marginal audience using soft power.
