French military advisors are on route to Ukraine. Though the picture shows Brits, no doubt we will get blamed again by Russia. ![Evil](https://www.pprune.org/images/smilies/evil.gif)

101 vehicles obliterated yesterday.
way above average. Seems like UKR has been hittimg logistics in the rear yesterday. US approval for hitting military targets within Russia was utilized and targets were readily chosen. Very good.

The Kerch Bridge possibilities were discussed a couple of years ago, with many following the ancient Chinese art of war philosophy of leaving a route open for your enemy to flee.
The bridge may still be just be strong enough to hold cars, and possibly a light train, but Russians in Crimea will have to leave most of their heavy equipment behind.

Meanwhile in the real world: this is what happens to POW's in Russian hands. Russia is a nazi state

35 missiles and 46 drones were shot down during tonight’s Russian big missile attack on Ukraine. Air-, sea-, and land-based missiles, as well as "Shahed" were used by Russians.
In total, the Russians launched 53 missiles of various types and 47 attack UAVs:
- 35 Kh-101/Kh-555 cruise missiles from Tu-95 MS (launch area - Saratov Region, Caspian Sea);
- 4 Iskander-M ballistic missiles (from Crimea);
- 1 "Iskander-K" cruise missile (from Crimea);
- 10 Kalibr cruise missiles (from the northeastern part of the Black Sea);
- 3 Kh-59/Kh-69 guided air missiles (from the Zaporizhzhia region);
- 47"Shahed-131/136" (Prymorsko-Akhtarsk launch area).
81 air targets were shot down:
- 30 Kh-101/Kh-555 cruise missiles;
- 4 Kalibr cruise missiles;
- 1 "Iskander-K" cruise missile;
- 46 "Shahed-131/136".
The second image shows a map of today's Russian attack on Ukraine. Once again, Stryi, where Ukraine’s largest underground gas storage facility is located, becomes the primary target of the attack.

How do you think that fella feels about his military aged countrymen that have fled the country he was fighting for and are now hiding all over Europe ?
Former Soviet state sends military aged males to every capital city in Europe. What could possibly go wrong ?

Jetblast is a place for general tin foil hatting.
I was in the understanding that this thread is for directly linking Ukraine war discussion..
On topic: drone wars is something that evolves in a very rapid pace. All eyes on these technologies.

🤡🤡🤡 Love the 11 aircraft and 4 helicopters but. How many times have they shot down the Ukrainian Air Force now?
Damn. The new, non-corrupt, honest Russian minister of defence says Ukraine lost 35000 people in May, in addition to 290 tanks and hundreds of other equipment. Dude's got a good start.

I did have a lengthy reply to grim weasels cralaptrap but I thought, don't feed the troll. Oh and by the way if by saying your location is the UK, and you would like to be thought as British, a bit of a mistake. I think you were taught English language in the American English dept of the FSB. There's no Z in institutionalised.(Except in the US and those influenced by being taught American English) Probably a bit of incoming flak for the last bit.

Ukrainian defenders report about a Russian attack between Vuhledar and Novomykhailivka:
“The boys repelled a large assault between Vugledar and Novomykhailivka. A lot of AFVs were involved. 5 units of AFVs were burned.
In nutshell: "burning Russians were running across the field."

GrimWeasel, I'll report your post and ask that it be moved to the Jet Blast thread about the Russia/Ukraine war.
The Israel/Palestine thread is locked.
Please don't pollute this thread again, as we do not care for excessive Mod attention here.
OK?

BBC reporting:
Russian officials have made clear their anger at the prospect of F-16s being used over their territory. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that F-16s would be destroyed just like anything else supplied by Nato, and would not change the situation at all.
However, as F-16s had long been used in Nato's "so-called joint nuclear missions", he warned that supplying them to Kyiv could only be seen "as a deliberate signal from Nato concerning nuclear weapons"
The retard is living in a different world![Ugh](https://www.pprune.org/images/smilies2/eusa_wall.gif)

OK, so they just have to pour more concrete to fix the problem - but that’s not really the point. It’s the whole planning, contracting, building, corruption thing again…
Look at this design…. Closely…..
1. Clamshell hangars are BEST positioned in the middle of a ramp, allowing drive thru ability. These are butted against the back ramp.
2. Even backed up, there’s no room for jets to manoeuvre along the taxiway, especially if another crew chief is out front of another spinning up jet.
3. The RIGHT answer would have been to covert the middle grass area to ramp. Russia didn’t do that, likely out of haste, laziness, or both.

Seems like a target of mirth & delight. Take out the buildings at each end... bozo the clown didn't leave room for the aircraft to move along in front or behind the hangers. Seems only reasonable to oblige showing the folly of their architecture.
