Likely enough that the US suggested they delay it until their troops were well skilled on the latest lovely force projection stuff they are getting.
Which part is the big news?
Was that created on ms paint.
I didnt know I could read Ukrainian until now...
Looks like Biden has said no to F-16's
...
Why does this and some Telegram screenshots look like ransom notes from the 1970s?
If you want to worry about Orc money in UK politics, I'd suggest a quick look at the source of team Sunak's finances - (hint) info-sys. Boris' flat and loan scandals suggest to me he was extremely bad at negotiating his portion of borscht or he didn't get any. The Torries are a dead party walking; they ought to go down for the count shortly.
Could be BS, might be not.
But I think the ransom style of notes is how the Google and Microsoft translators show the converted language over the original. Doesnt look pretty, but usually somewhat accurate and transcribing, regardless if the document is true or not.
Because when you run images through Google translate and it does it's ocr that is what it ends up like.
He said no to Abrams too.
💩
We're making the exact same mistakes as we did with tanks all over again.
The current rate of attrition in the Ukraine Air Force is not sustainable. It's not a case of if, it's a case of when they start to run out of combat aircraft.
There is going to be a considerable lead time in sourcing, preparing, shipping and training of Western aircraft and crews.
If they announced F16's today, how long before they in active service doing missions, one year doesn't sound like a ludicrous estimate.
Allegedly the original, it's from Ukrainian officials so take with a big pinch of salt of course.
The same picture was posted a few weeks back, with a different date. Seems possible notices like that are posted around Kyiv, after all mobilisation was declared when Russia invaded.
What is the source for this and why is it in English?
⚡️Визначальним theater in this war is Crimea. The government of Ukraine realizes that it cannot accept Russia's continued control over Crimea, says former U.S. Commander in Europe General Ben Hodges.
In his opinion, Ukraine "will not be safe and will not be able to rebuild its economy as long as Russia keeps Crimea."
"Over the next few months, Ukraine will create the conditions for the final liberation of Crimea," the general emphasized.
According to him, Ukraine will need long-range precision weapons, such as ATACMS, to liberate Crimea.
"The transfer of weapons that can deprive Russia of any hiding place after its missile and air strikes will allow Ukraine to make Crimea unusable for the Russians," Hodges said.
He added that the liberation of Crimea would also require isolating the peninsula from Russia and destroying the Kerch Bridge.
Not that anyone was suggesting that the Orcs should get away with hanging on to Crimea...
If Putin doesn't want to do it, there are a few Boards posters I could recommend or at least two Irish MEPs who'd do it on a second's notice
Another article discussing origins of "Western" components popping up in Russian/Iranian military equipment, missiles and drones [taken from RTE Website European Public Service broadcaster sections]. We are observing another unexpected side product and downside of the long orgy of globalisation during this conflict.
“It can be assumed that Russia and Iran are procuring such goods via third countries. These purchases for illegitimate military purposes are often made by front companies,” said a SECO spokesperson.
They said one of the biggest problems is that there are often no controls or insufficient measures in place at the foreign production sites, where Swiss law does not apply.
[On 3rd parties aiding Russia] Chinese satellite/space company sanctioned by the US recently over claimed sale of imagery to Russia (Wagner) to aid their war effort. More of this happening would be good IMO.
This is Faqued up ....
If this story is true (and it's starting to look that way), it's a reminder that people living under occupation must be in another form of hell
But why aren't the cheering us we liberated them from the CIA gay junta and brought them into the bussoms of mother Russia
In Ulyanivka, near occupied Skadovsk, an ammunition depot was destroyed after three "arrivals," military journalist Andriy Tsaplienko reports
The night before, it was loaded with "mobikas" ammunition all night.
Looks like Ukraine did a good job levelling the mobik equipment playing field. On hearing that some mobiks only got an ice filled trench and a single rifle, but that another lot got a whole pile of fresh weapons, ammo and warm sleeping bags, they fixed this terrible injustice. Now no mobik need feel jealous of another.
I can't decide whether to upvote or not. That is utterly disgusting and should not have happened to her, if it's true.
So a silent upvote for the post but none for what happened. Hope someone shoots them.
Speaking of tanks all over again, this sounds all too familiar, but the tanks saga eventually had a happy ending, so here's hoping history repeats that bit.
Poland is ready to transfer F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine in coordination with NATO, - Mateusz Morawiecki.
"In this matter, we will act in full coordination with other NATO countries and the United States," the Polish Prime Minister said.
He also added that Poland's military spending this year will reach 4% of GDP, which may be the highest percentage among all NATO countries.
Probably sanctioned by Putin himself.
(NTV always had an independent view of Putin till it was taken over by Gazprom and even still since the invasion some in the station fled the country for fear.)
Can we imagine what these scum are doing to the general population under their sick control.
It's horrendous, if these guys are walking up to a Russian journalist, assaulting her team, raping her - dread to think what they are doing to local women.
Bucha and Borodyanka were liberated after a month and a half, these other areas have been occupied for much longer.
And then there is Thales in France,selling thermal-imaging fire control system to Russia,thats crucial for their tanks.
Imaging their tanks not having it?It would be another desert storm for Ukraine now ,if they didnt.
Wouldnt be surprised at all by these savages
More proof if STILL needed that Russia is a nation of disgusting savages!
