1. L’hélicoptère de combat
Le choix le plus logique sera le AH-64 qui non seulement a été construit pour se battre contre les forces du pacte de Varsovie mais qui surtout est disponible en quantité
La machine est combat proven et a eu d’excellents états de services

La formation ne sera néanmoins pas simple car les équipages devront utiliser des missiles antichars et des roquettes guidées pour tirer le plein potentiel de la machine
On est loin des techniques “à la soviet” visant à tirer en cloche de la roquette non guidée de 57mm (S-5)

🧵 Adesso è partita la bambola degli F-16 all’#Ucraina, con inclusa illusione (fomentata da chi li vende) che siano dei “game-changer”. Ricordiamo i precedenti invii di nuove miracolose armi che non hanno cambiato assolutamente niente dall’inizio della guerra: 1/n
1. Gli #stinger: missili terra-aria con lanciatore a spalla: avrebbero dovuto impedire ai russi la superiorità aerea e il supporto di elicotteri alla fanteria. Ne abbiamo inviati migliaia, non è cambiato granché. 2/n
2. Gli #HIMARS: sistemi di lancio di missili a corta-media gittata (MLRS o ATACMS) che avrebbero dovuto minare la superiorità dell’artiglieria e della logistica russa colpendo le retrovie: al momento irrilevanti tranne per un unico colpo inferto alla vigilia di Natale 2022. 3/n
[1/11] F-16 für die #Ukraine - lange von mir erwartet, nun offensichtlich in abschließender Vorbereitung.
Das ist die denkbar schlechteste Nachricht für #Russland.

#putin escalates by voicing his plans to deploy tactical nuclear weapons on #Belarusian territory.
It was planned well before. In 2020 #Lukashenko illegally seized power. In February 2022, he conducted an unlawful referendum that ditched the country's non-nuclear status. ⏬

putin voices a plan to modernize Belarusian aircraft to make them nuclear-capable and train Belarusian pilots to operate them. In December 2022, putin deployed, and in February 2023, the Belarusian reported that they started operating the #Iskander-M dual-capable missile systems.
On February 25, 2023, putin played an idiot linking his nuclear proliferation plans to armor-piercing rounds containing depleted uranium to be provided to Ukraine by the U.K.
Erdogan´s move to only ratify #Finland goes against the wish of those 28 allies who have already ratified both Sweden and Finland – together, as it was intended. Turkey creates a wedge in #NATO that mainly serves the interest of Russia. A thread👇

1/5 Russia benefits from a fragmented and unfulfilled security architecture in Europe. Hungary, also with close ties to Russia, will follow suite and only ratify Finland.
2/5 Sweden’s status as an invitee means that defense and political integration into NATO is ongoing. Noteworthy, Turkey is not blocking it. In addition, several allies have already given bilateral security assurances. Hence, in the short term, the decoupling is less worrisome.

1/1 Der Feind setzt seine gelegentlichen Angriffe im Gebiet Vuhledar ergebnislos fort. Verstärkungen, die hauptsächlich aus mobilisierten Soldaten bestehen, treffen weiterhin in dem Gebiet ein. Die Umwälzungen begannen wegen des ukrainischen Verteidigungsministeriums. Der Angriff
2/1 auf Bohojawlenka wurde sozusagen zurückgeschlagen. Richtig ist: Es gibt eine Menge Verwirrung, wenn "in Richtung von" erwähnt wird. Zum Beispiel: "Der Feind versuchte, in Richtung Bohojawlenka anzugreifen" kann von Medien/Bloggern als Angriff auf Bohojawlenka selbst

1/1 Was beschlossen wurde und die Zusammenhänge hier, kann man gar nicht oft genug wiederholen.
2/1 Lassen Sie uns zunächst etwas Kontext hinzufügen. Das Treffen im Normandie-Format in Minsk erregte große Aufmerksamkeit für Belarus, das sich allmählich aus der internationalen Isolation befreite und überraschenderweise eine recht neutrale Haltung zum Krieg einnahm.
Senators call on Biden to delay F-16 jet sale to Turkey until 🇫🇮 and 🇸🇪 allowed into NATO.
A bipartisan group of 27 senators
“cannot consider future support for [Turkey],” including the sale of the F-16 jets, until Turkey “completes ratification of the accession protocols.”

“cannot consider future support for [Turkey],” including the sale of the F-16 jets, until Turkey “completes ratification of the accession protocols.”
“Failure to ratify the protocols or present a timeline for ratification threatens the Alliance’s unity at a key moment in history, as Russia continues its unprovoked invasion of Ukraine,”
The US-Turkey relationship “has been shadowed by continued delays in ratification for NATO enlargement,” the letter says, “and those delays pose a risk to the security of the alliance, to Europe and to the international world order that Vladimir Putin continues to threaten.”

1/4 🧵PM #Sunak - This is a crap answer. The notion that #F16’s / 4th Gen fighters are too advanced for this war against #Russia is ludicrous. Here’s why:
@MriyaReport @BalticSnowTiger @YAmzallagh
@MriyaReport @BalticSnowTiger @YAmzallagh
2/4 For nearly a decade, DC, London and other NATO capitals validated the need for next Gen fighters (#F35) on the tech advanced #S300/#S400 air defense threat - both present in the #Ukraine war.
3/4 hence, if politicians remained consistent, they’d argue the #F16 and other 4th Gen fighters are NOT tech advanced enough for the #Ukraine theater with S300/400, as it’s the same argument they used to spend billions to fund the #LightningII.
Hello there!
Ru have failed in all their attacks.
Quite a lot of losses yesterday on Ru sides.
#Ukraine remains strong everywhere.
Have a good day friends! take care you all!

2/ Ru are trying not to use as much as heavy armored vehicles as they did last week as they directly experienced the hedgehog strategy (willingly chosen by #Zaloujni #Zaluzhny) so we are still "contemplating" thousands of Ru bodies impacted every single days... #RussianLosses
3/ Gen staff reports :#Zsu grateful for the support and help #Canada and #GreatBritain !
Engineering training is important in identifying places where explosive objects r installed & ways to identify how mines r installed & defuse booby traps.

1. The #UnitedStates has decided on the type of aircraft that will be transferred to #Ukraine. With a high degree of probability, I will assume that it will be the #F16.

3. 65 air victories, without losses. Very easy to operate, considered one of the best single engine fighters in the world. Cheap!!!

1/ While 🇩🇪 defence minister did not say no yesterday, rather not yet, I think the #Leopard Plan as we conceived it in September 4 @ecfr is dead.

2/ The #Leopard2 is arguably the most prolific tank in Europe. However surplus and reserve tanks make up only a small part of the force.
They could be used to start training and introduce the tank into 🇺🇦 services, but to achieve a real effect in a long war, more ...

3/ ... deliveries over the long run would be necessary.
This is still possible as the Leoprd is still in production, theoretically 3 sites (🇩🇪🇬🇷🇪🇦) could produce it and there are 🇪🇺 funds for joint procurement, hence states could replace donated vehicles.
But will they?
