Save state games do, but idk the word - "continuation based checkpoint" games often do not load the last "save". Gta online used to be like this and you actually used up healing snacks and armor midmission, making heists a slog if you died and used them all up. Now it loads the state and you get those back when you die.

A trend that really took off is allowing checkpoint based-save games to remember I used consumables when reloading a save after you fail a mission. This conditions you to worry you might hit a hard spot and use all your consumables, and still lose, and be out all the money/time it took to get them.

Games used to just reload a savestate so if you died and had to load a checkpoint you "didnt use" those consumables. Bethesda games are great about this Used a lockpick magazine and there was a trap on the other side? Dont worry fam use that magazine again and be ready for round 2!

"Slammed" and other hyperbolic words would probably be a good filter tbh. But politics words aren't too hard to concieve.

President, DEI, Tarriff, administration, immigration, controversial, budget

Just to name a few.

I did think a number of them to be funny

Depending on fuel availability and other obligations, it opens them up to some severe implications to enterprising forces. Logistically they must either weaken other theaters (like say Syria or Georgia or Kyrgyzstan) by flying them to replace the lost craft, or simply accept a weakened position with air power over Ukraine. (Assuming all are in service and none are reserve)

Even more so, Russian command will have to gauge if Ukraine is able to replicate this, and how often. If another strike like this is deemed not only possible but imminent, they will have to start using an airbase even further from the front, driving fuel costs up to deliver the same payloads. Additionally, increased flight time means less chance the target will be caught unprepared for your arrival and allows more time to relocate mobile AA to respond to your (now much longer and obvious) flight path.

Edit: The TU-95 (the nuclear capable bigboi) has a fuel range of 15k km (9300mi) so these were already well within range, just flight times will be longer.

"One former Soviet sold me the exact amount of fire extinguishing equipment to outfit a single large battlecruiser which is weird, but he said the price was a steal! Hope that doesnt come back to bite him in a few decades"

This was my takeaway. Shes so spun up with fear she sees on TV she thought it possible it could show up at her door.
