Also huge benefit to China. I’d say the Chinese military are having all sorts of interesting meetings and any consideration of invading Taiwan will be off the table for a long long time.
Great Post. The F-35 ( currently on CAP over Romania) takes the principal one step further. External cameras plus a Helmet Mounted Display allows the pilot to "see through" the plane, giving the pilot 360 degree situational awareness.
A scrap between 4th Gen Russian and 5th Gen Western would be a thing.
Thoughts are that Kadyrov is an unobservant Muslim since he's obviously hard on the sauce.
Statement from todays event
Today, on May 27, at about 2 pm in the skies of Kherson region, a MiG-29 fighter of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine shot down a Russian Su-35 fighter from the 23rd Fighter Regiment of the Eastern Military District of the Russian Federation.The Ukrainian MiG-29 covered a group of attack aircraft - Su-25 attack aircraft of the Air Force, which struck at enemy troops in the Kherson region. As a result of this air attack, a company-tactical group of occupiers with equipment and manpower was destroyed.
A Russian Su-35 fighter jet took off from Belbek airfield to intercept Ukrainian attack aircraft. In fact, he was met by a Ukrainian fighter…
The intercepted radio exchange indicates that the Russian pilot was ejected, and a characteristic explosion erupted near Kherson.In the Kharkiv region, servicemen of the 95th separate assault brigade from the Perun MANPADS shot down another combat helicopter of the Russian occupiers, the Ka-52 Alligator.And in the Donetsk direction the air defense of the Land Forces destroys another UAV "Orlan-10".
A short thing. Those F-35s are more likely there pulling passive sensor information. 5th gen fighters would wipe the floor with what the Russians have, not even getting into comparative pilot proficiency
Putin gets ousted vs Zelensky ousted
?
Probably more of an question of which will die first. Both have targets on their backs, and are working under incredible pressure, but Putin appears to be in much worse shape then Zelensky.
Zelensky is probably the easiest of the 2 to assassinate since he actually goes out in public (as opposed to Putin’s staged visits to his bodyguards in hospital while they pretend to be wounded soldiers). However Zelensky appears to enjoy a lot of genuine grassroots support at home compared to the hyperactive propaganda campaign the Russians have to use to drum up support.
It’s a hard one to call. i feel that Putin is in greater danger of being ousted from his position, and that Zelensky is in greater danger of being killed.
The problem with that is its not the poor people's consumption that's sinking this world. Its the rich.
It's been said that if everyone had the energy and resource usage of the average American the world could only support 1.5bn people. So killing off billions of Africans and Indians doesn't solve the problems.
Artillery attack!
"For Ukrainians, Saturday begins with coffee and the words "good morning".The occupiers have shells from our artillery, which continues to clear Ukraine of their unwanted presence.The sponsor of the "good mood" of the enemy - 45 separate artillery brigade of the Armed Forces.Glory to Ukraine!"
...
I haven’t heard it described as good as this yet :) perfect analogy
Reading a few reports of a lot of Ukrainian desertions and commanders the same in Donbass.
Hard to know what’s actually happening.
Would these 'reports' be from telegram channels...
The notion their are Ukrainian commanders deserting their actual own land is idiotic.
Idi
Otic.
That is indeed true! The amount of data being passed to Ukranian forces must be incredible. Troop movements, triangulation of signal sources for targeting plus naval movements. (There was a US Navy P-3 Orion having a good look at the Black sea around Odessa/Snake Island last night)
More evidence that D Trump would do nothing the help Ukraine. The world is lucky that Joe Biden is in the white house. Russia would be taking over half of Europe by now if the Republicans were still in charge of the US.
It’s easy for Donald now playing hurling on the ditch.
Beyond war...
Point of interest. This conflict has given the US an opportunity to test platforms in real-world scenarios. One of these platforms is the US Army's very unasuming Bombardier 650 which has been gathering Signals Intelligence over the last few weeks. It appears on FR as an ordinary bizjet
The longer this war lasts the less it is important to Ukraine and more to Russia. Zelenskyy's presence in Ukraine was crucial at the beginning of this war. Now the fight against Russia is established, so it will be continued, even in a case of something bad happening to him. In Russia it is exactly opposite.
More likely to be isolated and confined to certain pockets rather than anything widespread. The Ukrainians literally know they are up against a fascist regime who wants to destroy them and for them to live under Russian rule (for eternity). They've already seen what Russia does to their towns and citizens once they are in occupation. It's an army of brutal oppressors.
HUD, head up displays have been around for decades
Show me that you haven't read my post without telling me that you haven't read my post... 🙄
I made that very same point in my post before moving on to the advantages that Helmet mounted displays have over HUDs.
Have you any reputable links for this?
Most recent claimed losses from the Russians
When you see the staged photos of Putin what the hell are the military guys thinking its farcical that Putin has such a hold over the country.I understand his cronies would go along with whatever he does but the rest I don't get at all .
I think they are more worried how to cover their own a***s as far as their corruption and incompetence is concerned...
Anti-aircraft teams had a good day yesterday.1 aircraft+4 helicopters.
Hopefully the russian ships start sinking in the coming weeks as the Denmark is joined by UK and the Dutch to supply Harpoonshttps://defence-ua.com/weapon_and_tech/ukrajinu_protikorabelnimi_harpoon_posilila_ne_tilki_danija_jaki_krajini_peredali_raketi_dlja_znischennja_flotu_rf-7541.html
Yes will be good to start seeing the results of these new weapons coming through into battle.
Hopefully we will start seeing many more chip pan accidents happening soon enough...
Mariupol prisoners. I just skipped through this guy's propaganda but you might be interested
Meanwhile in Paris, French tennis has welcomed Russian players onto the Roland Garros courts for the French Open.
Could the French not even give a bit of a lead is making Russian athletes pariahs and sending a strong message back to the motherland. What would it have cost them?
C**ts.
