Engels Airfield Strike 2 Poem by Gert Strydom

Near to Seratov at Engels airfield
deep into Russia at a strategic bomber base
in the early morning Ukraine did Russia face,
to their civilians from attack to shield.

Russian missile ships, going to sea were not concealed
where Ukraine did them and Russian bombers trace,
that would fire-off missiles aimed at civilians in disgrace;
they are not using these terrorist acts on the battlefield.

This second strike was much more intense
with NATO countries blaming each other,
as Tupolev 925 and 160 aircraft was left intact.
To the command-centre the damage is immense,
for Russia it would be difficult from there to bother
where Ukraine did with an own weapon attack.

Without notice a weapon did deep into Russia enter,
to stop a joint Russian attack at the point of action:
with officers gathered for a last briefing in that centre,
lying about only three dead is the Russian reaction,

but decimated was that whole place,
totally in black burnt to the ground,
as Ukraine did many a Russian pilot erase,
where every pilot in that airfield was around.

Russia is slow to take hints from anyone:
three weeks ago this same airfield was hit
and Russia brought back bombers that were gone.
From where Russia strike, to counter Ukraine will commit,

until the terrorist acts and attacks do stop,
of Russian plans even open source intelligence is on top.

Whether it be a missile or a drone do not matter,
while Biden and NATO are into appeasement
and Ukrainian self-defence does their plans scatter,
as they give the least of old stock to conscience easement,

where this airfield had been taken out of operation,
by Ukraine's very clever design
and to the bravery and strategy this comes as an ovation
and to Russians to stop atrocities as a sign.

Apart from the command-centre four targets remain:
two storages for munitions and missiles are left,
with a emplacement that do munitions contain
and it's hard to hit when they are of this bereft

but possibly until not a bomber is left they will try,
needed are long range missiles to shoot them from the sky.

Another target the storage for jet-fuel could be,
where Russia again has strategic bombers evacuated,
to have them from attacks totally free,
as attacks on this airfield are perpetuated,

another huge missile strike was closely averted,
as Putin do dislike Ukrainians to have a life,
think that his power is by terrorism asserted
as for total destruction of a nation he does strife,

has moved six bombers to Ukrainka Airbase,
all across Russia, very far to the east
where Russia thinks Ukraine could target at the least,
with some left at Engels to still be in place

to keep attacking from Seratov as the Russians do,
as if that they are loosing they have no clue.
