Oneiros posted:"close" maybe but i haven't heard of them doin' gun runs which is what most people think of when it comes to the a-10. ballistic rocket barrages and glide bombs seem to be favored They were doing runs above trenches at least, but as far as CAS goes, it seems like FPV drones are pretty much the bread and butter. Finally, the infantry have their own air force. Also, that is the thing, if the Ukrainians get too close...they don't seem to be able to pull it off. The Russians more recently seem to be hitting Mig-29s at fields which probably is really the only durable air superiority aircraft the Ukrainians have at this point, otherwise they have been using 4 SU-24s for their Stormshadow runs.

Good news for people who oppose historical revisionism - It's quite well known that Stalin absolutely didn't think Hitler was going to attack, and dismissed all intelligence indicating the German build up and obvious intent to invade. This also puts aside all the things the Soviets did to help Germany and other areas in which they collaborated with which I mentioned in my post that go well past the non-aggression pact as indicated by A big flaming stink for the reasons I explained.

Good news for the credibility of mlmp08 - The mystery of the attack on the Nord Stream pipelines remains unsolved on its first anniversary. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/sep/26/nord-stream-pipeline-blasts-key-details-revealed-by-scientists Key details behind Nord Stream pipeline blasts revealed by scientists Miranda Bryant in Oslo Tue 26 Sep 2023 21.24 BST Scientists investigating the attack on the Nord Stream pipelines have revealed key new details of explosions linked to the event, which remains unsolved on its first anniversary. Researchers in Norway shared with the Guardian seismic evidence of the four explosions, becoming the first national body to publicly confirm the second two detonations, as well as revealing a detailed timeline of events. The recently discovered additional explosions took place in an area north-east of the Danish Baltic island of Bornholm about seven seconds and 16 seconds after the two previously known detonations. Using information from seismic stations in northern Europe and Germany, including the Swedish National Seismic Network and Danish stations on Bornholm, seismologists deployed advanced analysis techniques to observe and pinpoint the blasts. Seismologists at Norsar, Norway’s national data centre for the comprehensive nuclear test ban treaty (CTBT), told the Guardian they had so far found a total of four explosions – one south-east of Bornholm and three north-east of the island. Two clear seismic events, named Event S and Event N, were identified on 26 September 2022, soon after the attack. The first, on Nord Stream 2, occurred at 02:03:24 (UTC+2), and the second, on Nord Stream 1, at 19:03:50 (UTC+2). Norsar said there could potentially be further explosions buried in the data. The explosions made holes in both Nord Stream 1 pipelines and one of the Nord Stream 2 pipelines. By November last year, Swedish investigators had confirmed that the breaches were caused by man-made explosives. Investigations are continuing, but officials quoted in the US and German press have said the evidence points towards a Ukrainian-backed group, or a pro-Ukrainian group operating without the knowledge of the leadership in Kyiv. German investigators have focused on a 51ft rental yacht called the Andromeda, which was hired by a mysterious crew of five men and one woman, at least some of whom were travelling on false passports. Der Spiegel, which recreated the Andromeda’s journey, quoted investigators as saying the evidence all pointed at Kyiv’s involvement. There is debate, however, over whether a small crew of divers operating from a pleasure yacht would have been capable of carrying out the difficult, deep and slow dives necessary to place the explosives. A leaked US defence document, reported by the Washington Post, showed the CIA had been tipped off by an allied European agency in June 2022, three months before the attack, that six members of Ukraine’s special operations forces were going to rent a boat and use a submersible vehicle to dive to the seabed using oxygen and helium for breathing, in order to sabotage the pipeline. But the leaked US document said the planned operation had been put on hold. Other reports in the Scandinavian media have pointed to a cluster of Russian ships, with their identifying transponders turned off, in the vicinity of the blast sites in the days before the explosions. The Nord Stream pipelines are operated by two companies, Nord Stream AG and Nord Stream 2 AG, both majority-owned by the Russian state energy company Gazprom. Nord Stream 1 and 2 are both twin pipelines, and together they bring up to 110bn cubic metres of gas annually from Russia to Germany. Nord Stream 1 went into operation in 2012. Nord Stream 2 was completed in September 2021 but has never transported any gas. From the outset it was mired in controversy in the face of adamant opposition from German allies, in particular the US and Poland, who both believed the Germans were making themselves and much of the rest of Europe hostage to Russian energy supplies. The US made clear that bilateral relations would be badly affected if Nord Stream 2 went into operation. Once the full-scale invasion of Ukraine began, all talk of opening the pipeline was shelved. The newly discovered events, named NB and NC, took place about seven seconds and 16 seconds after the event previously known as Event N, which they now refer to as NA. Investigations by Denmark, Sweden and Germany are understood to be planned for publication in a joint study with Norsar. Authorities for all three countries declined to comment on the investigations. In July, the UN security council heard investigators had found traces of undersea explosives in samples from a yacht, but that they were unable to reliably establish the identity or motives of those involved or whether it was the work of a specific country. Using information from a number of seismic stations in northern Europe and Germany, including the Swedish National Seismic Network and the Danish stations on Bornholm, seismologists used advanced analysis techniques to observe the additional two explosions. According to their calculations, the second and third explosions (NA and NB) were 220 metres apart from each other (with the third west of the second) and the fourth was several kilometres south-west of the second. Andreas Köhler, a senior seismologist at Norsar, said the distance between NA and NB “fit very well with the distance between both pipelines of Nord Stream 1 at the westernmost gas plume location northeast of Bornholm.” Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 both have two pipelines each. The location of the final explosion, however, is less clear because there are less station observations. “This best fits an explosion on the Nord Stream 1 pipeline, but we cannot exclude a location at Nord Stream 2,” said Kohler. Analysis of the source mechanism from the signals showed they were generated by explosive devices. Based in Kjeller, near Oslo, Norsar monitors events across the world including nuclear testing in North Korea, the impact of CO2 storage on the Norwegian continental shelf and conflict zones such as Ukraine. It takes 10 minutes for shock waves to reach them after a nuclear test in North Korea, with location accuracy of 150-200 metres, leading to the claim that it is “10 minutes from Kjeller to North Korea”. The war in Ukraine has marked a significant breakthrough for Norsar in terms of the potential use of seismology in conflict monitoring. “The technology that is used to find explosions the other side of the globe can also find explosions closer to home,” said its chief executive, Anne Strømmen Lycke. It started monitoring Ukraine for the Civil Radiation Authority due to concerns of radioactive landfall over Norway after the 1986 Chernobyl disaster. It monitors bombing around the power plant on a continuing basis and has been able to contribute evidence to the UN truth commission. In June, its scientists were able to confirm the time and location of reports of two explosions at the Kakhovka dam using data from seismic stations in Romania and Ukraine. “It’s amazing, the accuracy of the observation and the use of it. The UN truth commission for Ukraine has contacted us to ask us to verify some events, among them the Kakhovka dam, so they are interested in having these cold data as basis for their considerations.” Norsar is also investigating whether its technology could be used in the future to monitor ceasefires. “We know that we could see, based on frequency content and signal difference, between different helicopter types and likely also different weaponry types,” Strømmen Lycke said. “And that could be something to verify and then you could actually monitor and trace after unravelling who did what. I suppose that is why the UN truth commission is interested in these things.”

Bad news for Ukraine - Newspapers within Ukraine itself (Kyiv Post) are reporting on draft-dodging by Ukrainian men and high casualty rates amongst the Ukrainian military. OPINION: Hide and Seek – Mobilization in Ukraine By Andriy Kurkov September 26, 2023, 4:43 pm Recently, in Lviv, a military registration and enlistment car drove up to a group of young men who were waiting at a bus stop. Enlistment officers jumped out of the vehicle, grabbed one of the men, and began to drag him into the car. He resisted. The officers started beating him and he fell to the ground. Passers-by shouted at the officers, demanding that they leave the man alone. Eventually, he broke away and ran off down the street. The officers did not pursue him. I suspect that similar scenes are occurring in other cities. I know of one that happened in Odesa a couple of months ago. Someone captured the incident on video and it then went viral across the country and sparked controversy over mobilization practices. Frightened men have stopped going out to public places and avoid traveling to other regions of the country because they might be mobilized at road checkpoints during document checks. Amidst the mobilization tensions, frontline officers complain of a lack of personnel. It is clear to everyone that losses during the counteroffensive have been heavy. There are many killed and wounded, and if they are not replaced, the counteroffensive may stall. Proposed laws The Ukrainian parliament is now discussing several bills, the adoption of which could affect mobilization and the country’s defense capability in general. The main bill, being worked on by more than 100 lawmakers, concerns the introduction of electronic registration of military personnel. After President Volodymyr Zelensky came to power, electronic documentation became very popular in Ukraine, especially among young people. The jewel in the crown is the government application for smartphones called “Diya” (Action). Ukrainians can use it to generate various certificates and documents without visiting state offices. The proposed bill involves the collection, from existing government databases, personal details of all men eligible for military service from 18 to 60 years old. This super-database will contain not only the names and addresses of persons liable for military service, but all information known about them, including their mobile phone numbers and email addresses. The key question now – will “Diya” use a smartphone’s GPS to tell military registration and enlistment offices where potential conscripts are currently located? Government authorities have now increased the size of fines for those who do not live at their official address and have also not informed the authorities about their new address. Among the bills prepared for discussion in parliament, no. 9566, tabled by a lawmaker Georgiy Mazurashu from the Servant of the People party, is notably humane. It will allow Ukrainians who do not want to go to war to refuse mobilization and instead work at defense enterprises. He believes that such a law will reduce l tension in society. Such a law could, indeed, reduce the number of men who want to leave the country legally or illegally, but it will most likely not be adopted by parliament since it contradicts the policy of general mobilization. Illegal exemption certificates Ukraine’s military medical commissions now operate under close scrutiny. The commissions determine the suitability of a potential conscript for military service based on their health and physical condition. Initial checks showed that some members of these commissions have sold certificates of “unfitness” to those who did not want to go to the front and were ready to pay $4-5,000 for a fictitious diagnosis. The State Bureau of Investigation is compiling lists of those citizens who could have received illegal exemption certificates. These men will be called back for repeat medical check-ups. Recently, Ukrainian news outlets published a list of 372 NGOs and volunteer organizations that have been helping men to go abroad in return for money. These organizations produced letters with which men could go to Europe for a few days to carry out work connected with humanitarian assistance and volunteer tasks in support of the AFU. Thousands of men who left with these letters have never returned. Instead, they have asked for temporary protection status from neighboring countries. Ukrainian lawmaker David Arakhamia has suggested that recently strengthened international cooperation will solve the problem. He stated: “In any country in the world, except Russia, our law enforcement agencies can request the extradition of such people; they can be brought back to Ukraine so that they suffer the appropriate punishment.” However, representatives of the Austrian, German, and Hungarian governments have already said that they will not extradite to Ukraine those who entered their countries illegally to avoid being called up to fight. There are now officially about 200,000 Ukrainian men of military age in Germany alone, and it is unlikely that the German police will get involved in finding out which of them left Ukraine illegally.
