Since I have too much time this morning I did some digging, and I don't think anything is going down.

You observed 2 airliners that regularly fly between Russia and Turkey:

D-KSJX is a glider: https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/d-ksjx/

Aircraft SPIRB is most likely a private plane that took off from a rural airstrip at coordinates 53°58'59"N 20°52'51"E.

The article calls the planes unusable, so I don't think Ukraine has enough spare parts to fix up 81 outdated planes just to blow them up. They'll probably strip out everything usable and use the more modern husks as decoys. That being said, I have a feeling Ukraine will scrape together enough parts to get some of the older models flying and cause some embarrassing security incidents and IFF shenanigans. Finally, there's the possibility that other former Soviet countries can pool the resources to refurbish at least a few aircraft, which would be good timing after the latest US aid package and donated F-16s entering service in the next year.

Go to settings/system/about/ steam deck controller ID. The serial number will start with either MEDA or MHDA.

I think I'd be more into it if it had a more distinct bed like a big El Camino

There's also when Woody called Buzz "Mr Lightbeer".

Literally weak sauce.

The pilots will be bringing home American doctrine, and be introduced to a wider array of weapons, tactics, and networking technology. Most importantly, in my opinion, the Soviet technology bubble has been broken and Ukraine will gain 21st century air power.

But the improvised cope cage didn't even get a scratch. Checkmate, NATO.

Sir, please find your own holodeck and forget what you saw in here.

Picture this: a group of Ewok tailors who became famous designers after Leia helped them open a shop on Coruscant in order to bring in refugees.
