One very productive S-300



Not surprised much at using S-300 missiles to down Orlan and other drones, because those drones can carry laser designators for Krasnopol shells or scout things out for Tornado satellite-guided missile systems. I mean, Ukraine has knocked out a few Russian S-300s with artillery, no reason to give the Russians a chance to return the favor.

Several countries agree to train Ukrainian pilots on the F-16 :getin:
https://mil.in.ua/en/news/several-countries-have-agreed-to-train-ukrainian-pilots-on-the-f-16/

MilDef Ukraina posted:

Ukraine has received a signal from some countries about their readiness to start training Ukrainian pilots on F-16 fighter jets.

Dmytro Kuleba, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, announced this.

“There is progress. We have clear signals from some countries that they are ready to start training Ukrainian pilots on F-16 fighter jets,” the Minister said.

According to the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, the F-16 fighter is a perfect aircraft due to its technical characteristics, although Kyiv avoids neglecting other aircraft.

Kuleba added that the last word regarding F-16 was with the United States, because they were American fighter jets.

In addition, the Minister said that yesterday he discussed with his counterparts what necessary steps had to be taken and what arguments had to be found in order for Washington to give the green light to the project.

US support
The day before, one of the publications reported that members of the US Democratic Party insisted on the transfer of F-16 fighter jets and long-range ATACMS missiles to Ukraine and demanded that President Joe Biden approved the relevant decision.

“Members of congress from both parties have called on Biden to supply Ukraine with long-range rocket artillery, called ATACMS, and modern F-16 fighter jets,” the American publication The Hill said.

The U.S. administration has so far refused, saying that the United States can’t spare any ATACMS systems and that jets aren’t a priority for Ukraine.

However, Washington’s promise to provide Ukraine with M1 Abrams main battle tanks, after months of opposition from the White House, has given cause for optimism.

For now, a group of lawmakers believes that F-16s and long-range missiles are the logical next step. The equipment could be of key importance in the defense as well as the counteroffensive of the Ukrainians, members of Congress say. Among them, the publication points out, are the names of Biden’s fellow party members, such as Jason Crow, Richard Blumenthal, Sheldon Whitehouse, Jared Golden, Mark Kelly and others.

Meanwhile, some U.S. military leaders agree with this position. Official Kyiv continues to insist on the need to start the process of transferring F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine. In this connection, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dmytro Kuleba, called on the United States to allow other countries to transfer American fighter jets to Ukraine.

Zelenskyy: We will launch counteroffensive before we get F-16 jets, there will be no delay.

Ukrainska Pravda posted:

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is confident that Ukraine cannot delay the campaign to liberate its territories until partners provide F-16 fighter jets, so the counteroffensive should begin earlier.

Source: Zelensky in an interview to Finnish, Swedish, Danish and Norwegian journalists

Quote: "It would help a lot... But we understand that we will not delay this, and we will start even before we have F-16 or anything else.

Reassuring Russia that we still have a few months before starting training on jets, and only then we will begin… No, it won't be like this. We will begin [sooner – ed.] and move forward.... "

Details: Zelenskyy explained that earlier, Ukraine asked to close the sky to protect civilians, and now it asks to support the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces.

He emphasised that there should be no fear of Russia’s reaction to the provision of the aircraft: "the worst thing has already happened, they did begin a full-scale war."

Earlier, Zelenskyy said that he believed in the success of Ukraine's counteroffensive.

The Ukrainian OSINT accounts and war summary guys on YouTube said around last month that PMC Wanker didn't have much left in the gas tank. Three months ago, a Ukrainian major who was commanding the defense of Bakhmut mentioned that they were down to 7,000 core recruits remaining with no prisoner cannon fodder left. Very recently, a news report mentioned that Pigozhin only managed to scrape together 2,500 new recruits to restore the losses which they took. The war summary channels also recently mentioned that Ukrainians on the ground in Bakhmut say that the majority of the forces now attacking the city are PMC Wolves and Redut, along with what's left of a number of VDV regiments providing armor and artillery support. Collating all this information together, yes, we can safely say that PMC Wanker will likely soon cease to exist as an organized force in Ukraine.

Its wild how good people have gotten at OSINT in general. It will never happen of course but it would be interesting to see how their methods compare to the work of actual intelligence agencies.

How do they update this kill-list when they shoot for example another plane down? Color it all over and start from scratch? It seems so impractical - why not just have a bunch of stars or turds or whatever and not differentiate between kill types? Makes me doubt this is legit. I am sure there are S-300-s out there that have shot down Russian poo poo but that list seems strange to me
