I'm guessing Kirk Ferentiz is lining up for the end-of-year fired bus?

Say hello to Laramie again otherwise Utah.

I have a feeling the people who run that university are going to regret this if true. Not enough forward thinking.

Poland has already stated they don't mind transporting grain to other ports. They just won't sell it in country.

This is about local supply/demand. These Eastern bloc countries don't want Ukrainian grain in the country, because more supply=lower prices. Consumers of course will be happy to buy anything that's cheap, but Polish farmers will lose their arse on the lower prices. And in an election year ( in Poland at least) that's untenable.

I think Ukraine/ their farmers are just going to have to bite the bullet for this years harvest. Especially after 60 tons got destroyed in Odessa and now there's a naval blockade. They'll just have to accept the longer rail transport to the Northern NAto ports/Romania. Lower profits for the farmers, but at least they'll get something.

And what will they fight with? Rusted T-34's?

If Ukraine had any sort of modern air force and not stitched together Russian relics they wouldn't be near the positions they are now.

All that is just drivel.

While we'll wait and see. I'm sure Ukraine would've preferred to hit the rail bridge rather than the road one. Either way is good news though.

about an hour until the truth is unfolded.

My guess? The be used used primarily for the guided munitions they can carry. Also they can easier integrate with NATO missiles/other guided bombs. The F-16 can supposedly track the long range missiles Russia is launching to hit civilians much better than the Mig's/Su-25.

They aren't going to be dogfighting Su-35s. But if they do find them away from AA range they can at least engage much farther way than the Mig-29 they are flying now as well.

Ukraine will use them in the best that ensures their survivability. Much like Himars, getting one destroyed will not be a good look, and Russia will of course celebrate it. The question is which version will they get? The F-16A/B are most common, but they are also the oldest. The C/D are the more modern versions.

I'm still curious why Ukraine hasn't requested additional helicopters other than additional Russian ones they currently fly? Given the initial success the Russian had using their attack helicopters wonder why Ukraine doesn't want to try them?

Two coats of Turtle Wax Seal and shine work the same way and it's $15 at Walmart.

The shite lasts forever if applied correctly.

Uhhh?

russian TG is saying that
ukraine knew about the upcoming attack from the 1GTA
they have prepped the battle field.
they knew the attack rout
and they knew the units
and when they were going to attack....

so what could go wrong there????
just how long do you think it will take to get to 300k??? only 64K to go... and the 1GTA with the rest of the central military district has about... 75K alone.

or its about 1.333 troops per cluster bomb.
and yes they are attacking in the open.

russia is trying a battle of the bulge attack directly into a reinforced easy to defend area in the open where 3 arty brigades are with nice new cluster bombs.

Russian 1st Guards Tank Army is going to cease to exist if they keep up the zombie attacks (if this is true). Weren't they the crew that got nearly eliminated in the Kharkiv offensive?

Turkey also wants F-16s. Being on the U.S./Ukraine good side will help that happen as well.

They and China have become adept at doing what's best for them.

If this shortens the war by 6 months I'm sure Ukraine will take that trade. Also only sending the 99/100% explodable versions should help minimize the dud risk.


this may be the reason why all the crazy talk about the nuke plant.
russians are scared. russian media is saying they have located and IDed the 9th and 10th corps of the ukr army and are openly saying they have nothing to stop them when they kick off. right near the nuke plant.

LINK

here is what rybar is posting. in the area behind the plant they have no combat firepower, and on the entire line they only have the 36th RU brigade as a res force... everything from the 19th and 42nd div is engaged. the 20the div was supposed to block but they moved it to bakhmut last month.

LINK

the ONLY units i can see moving are some of the TD battalions or brigades to try to block and buy time for ????. the most probable is the 214th tank... and they are equipped with a mix of T62s and T55s... soooooo

Here's some speculation about the Russian fears that they have no combat power behind the nuke plant. If it's true could be why Russia has been retreating from that area.
