Ukrainian pilots are not training on french Mirage jets ,
Some Ukrainans are received survival related courses and other training but no pilots have been trained to fly Mirage 2000s.
spokesman of the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Yuriy Ignat, denied the information of French journalists that Ukrainian pilots are allegedly training in France on Mirage 2000 fighters.
France trains Ukrainian pilots on Mirage 2000
combat aircraft. The training has been going on since February, - reported journalists of the publication Le Figaro
For more than a month and a half, about thirty Ukrainian pilots have been undergoing accelerated training at French fighter-bombers at the air bases of Mont-de-Marsan and Nancy.
That is some truly great news if true. I mentioned recently I was puzzled at the US getting $100m approved for pilot training 9 months ago if they had no intention of using it or allowing planes to be provided. I hope clandestine training has been happening there too.
wasn't one of them an ex-politician from Norway or something like that?
They've always looked dodgy to me
If you have a bunch of yanks spinning tall tales and looking for your money off the back of it, you can be fairly sure that it's a fiddle.
where does that leave them? they seemed legit?
Yes he's part of the team LinkedIn has his profile about his role
Claimed to have served for 14 years in the US army ranked as a master chief, also fought in Desert Storm at 16,his service record says he only served 2/3 years . while he's been photographed in Ukraine he's claimed he was deployed with Various units and claiming their Victories despite never been there
was Vasquez part of Ripley's Heros ? (deleted Twitter so can't cross check)
Looks like Putin is going trough museums now to find tanks to send to Ukraine
He's Also claimed to have left ukraine to go on a Europe wide road trip just before he deleted his socials ,and Just as someone made his service record public , only yesterday he claimed ukraine weren't In the UN therefore the Geneva convention didn't apply
Followed that Vasquez fella on and off, appeared he was in Ukr. There's a massive kickback against him (trolls, propaganda, etc). Can anything be verified?
Was just about to post about James Vasquez. Some claims that he raised over $3m... and its gone
Anyone donating money to a fella that has more red flags that a Chinese state parade has only themselves to blame
An obvious con man.
Has anyone been following James Vasquez at all , former US soldier running around ukraine making claims of working with Various units that never met him , while he's been fundraising for equipment that never seems to appear
Hey, I think Leitrim's great! Herself's family came from there, the place is low population with beautiful countryside.
Just to put things in perspective with regards to how much of Bakhmut is holding out here's the city as defined by Google:
And here are the latest frontlines + contested spaces in grey with the above outline drawn over it all:
Could be a drone hitting some kind defense or being hit with a weapon ,
We could see something burning outside the actual port which has anti submarine/swimmer nets across it
Nice catch. That was my point. The drones don't have a lot of explosives, so for them to damage a building on land some distance from the water, it might suggest they set off a secondary and larger explosion, which would indicate mission accomplished. Hope so.
They should be able to hit Sevastopol with a big fat JDAM-ER. Maybe stage another raid like this last one and then have the big fella glide in amongst the confusion.
muskovytes claim nothing was hit and attack was intercepted and then launch missile attack on nearest civilian target makes me think they might be lying about the Ukrainians having no success with their drones as you suggest. Here is a still I took from a recently released video of the drone attack on Sevastapol which seems to show something blowing up. probably just another smoking accident and nothing to do with the drones.
Exactly or just to expose their defences for the big one coming
Probably yes,
Just letting them know we can hit you too
Could be testing Russias response and defences as well,didnt seem like many drones was used
Leitrim Computer Skills Tutor:
"So Jimmy, what is a Hard Drive?"
Jimmy: "Carrick to Mohill on a wet night..."
*gets coat.
Looks like not a great success in svastaspol last night,
One drone flew in and hit something while 3 marine drones were stopped one could be seen burning outside the port ,
Still surprised they haven't been able to pull off another Moskva
Unlikely to happen, though. There's only one, and it's in the Central Museum of the Armed Forces in Moscow, and not in the greatest shape.
Seems to be footage of other impacts which look to be around the same area.
Another day, another war crime.
If they were running at a steady ratio, then yes you would be seeing more Ukrainian soldiers dying (social media posts etc...) as more Russian soldiers die, that's how ratios work.
Now if you were to dig down to confirmed death notices % increase/decrease on each side you could claim the ratio is increasing or decreasing.
Ah ok, it's just when you mentioned 7:1, that's what I have seen mentioned specifically to Bakhmut.
