Hi thread,

I'm just posting to let you know that I'm also still here and to thank CommieGIR and Toxic Mental for being stupid insane, brave and nice enough to help this thread out. :tipshat:

Also, thanks to all the regular posters for coming back and not being too rude to the other threads during the hiatus. :hfive:

Here's the official press release:

quote:

Russian aircraft collides into US unmanned system in international waters
Two Russian Su-27 aircraft conducted an unsafe and unprofessional intercept with a U.S. Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance unmanned MQ-9 aircraft that was operating within international airspace over the Black Sea, March 14, 2023.
By U.S. AIR FORCES EUROPE - AIR FORCES AFRICA Ramstein Air Base, Germany Mar 14, 2023
Two Russian Su-27 aircraft conducted an unsafe and unprofessional intercept with a U.S. Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance unmanned MQ-9 aircraft that was operating within international airspace over the Black Sea today.

At approximately 7:03 AM (CET), one of the Russian Su-27 aircraft struck the propeller of the MQ-9, causing U.S. forces to have to bring the MQ-9 down in international waters. Several times before the collision, the Su-27s dumped fuel on and flew in front of the MQ-9 in a reckless, environmentally unsound and unprofessional manner. This incident demonstrates a lack of competence in addition to being unsafe and unprofessional.

“Our MQ-9 aircraft was conducting routine operations in international airspace when it was intercepted and hit by a Russian aircraft, resulting in a crash and complete loss of the MQ-9,” said U.S. Air Force Gen. James B. Hecker, commander, U.S. Air Forces Europe and Air Forces Africa. “In fact, this unsafe and unprofessional act by the Russians nearly caused both aircraft to crash.”

“U.S. and Allied aircraft will continue to operate in international airspace and we call on the Russians to conduct themselves professionally and safely,” Hecker added.

This incident follows a pattern of dangerous actions by Russian pilots while interacting with U.S. and Allied aircraft over international airspace, including over the Black Sea. These aggressive actions by Russian aircrew are dangerous and could lead to miscalculation and unintended escalation.

U.S. Air Forces in Europe – Air Forces Africa routinely fly aircraft throughout Europe over sovereign territory and throughout international airspace in coordination with applicable host nation and international laws. In order to bolster collective European defense and security, these missions support Allied, partner, and U.S. national objectives.

This is straight up Ukranian propaganda. More neutral estimates have total casualties (wounded and killed) at 200k, not 600k. Versus 120k Ukrainian casualties.

Most of these "fortifications" are corruption based to earn money while giving the impression that something of actual value's being done, but rooted in a genuine fear that Ukraine might get enough equipment to launch an amphibious assault. In reality they'll rely on bringing artillery and HIMARS within range of Crimea and interdict the supply to the peninsula by the means available to them.

However, those aren't the only parts being fortified. There are trenches, cope bunkers, etc. being built in and around any towns of military significance and near the temporary mustering points of any troops on the peninsula. Specifically, Perekop, Armyansk, Sevastopol, Simferopol, Dzhankoi, Yevpatoriya, Primorsky, and Oktiabr'ske were mentioned, though there might have been other locations where they also set up defenses. The 'best' defenses - or as good as Russia can make them on short notice - are primarily near Perekop and Armyansk.

e: some of it has been identified by satellite footage on the OSINT channels, so if you want to take a look they should be there.

:tipshat: Appreciate that.
