Ukrainian officials were previously confident that fighters would be delivered, with options including the American F-16 or the Swedish Gripen.

Military experts suggest that disinformation is being used as a weapon of war and that modern aircraft are essential for effective tank warfare and air defense systems.

Ukraina on toistanut pitkään tarvitsevansa kipeästi moderneja hävittäjiä. Panssarihanojen auettua presidentti Zalenskyi on neuvotellut ahkerasti, jotta Ukrainaan kohdistuvassa aseavussa siirryttäisiin seuraavalle tasolle. Tässä muutama ajatus aiheesta. 🧵1/14 #Ukraina #Fighters
Jos päätös panssarivaunujen toimittamisesta otti aikansa, niin hävittäjien osalta prosessi todennäköisesti kestää vielä pidempään. Modernit hävittäjät ovat todella ”arvokkaita” ja niitä on määrällisesti suhteellisen vähän. 2/14
Hävittäjillä on oma roolinsa valtioiden alueellisen koskemattomuuden valvonnassa sekä kansainvälisessä yhteistyössä. Nämä järjestelmät ovat siis kovassa käytössä myös nyt, eikä niitä ainoastaan säilötä pahan päivän varalle. 3/14

Since the Dutch F-16 announcement has generated more talks on #fighters for #Ukraine; a few thoughts.
1) The Ukrainian Air Force would absolutely benefit greatly from Western fighters in terms of air-to-air and (potentially) air-to-ground lethality. But there are caveats (1/10) Image
Any western fighters that could plausibly be sent would still be at high risk from Russian SAMs, so would have to fly at very low altitudes within several tens of kilometres of the frontlines. This would dramatically reduce effective missile range and limit strike options (2/10) Image
Most common Western close-air-support weapons like Paveway II and AGM-65 Maverick require the pilot or a JTAC to use a targeting pod or other sensor to find, ID and designate the target for precision strikes. This sort of CAS is far harder when confined to very low level. (3/10) Image

1/ #Russia’s fighters now carry the newer #R37 / #AA13. This is not a menace, but rather another act of desperation. Here’s why:
2/ The #Axehead is a massive (limited maneuver) #missile designed to shoot down US #C4ISR aircraft (#AWACS, #RivetJoint, #CompassCall). Shooting these missiles at maneuverable #Ukraine fighters is a waste.
3/ The #AA13 #axehead missile looks much like the old US #AIM54 Phoenix missile. There’s a reason the US ditched short / fat missiles for long / thin ones. They stink against maneuverable targets.

Polish Internal Security Agency #ABW have detained on May 7 four 4 #Tajiks on charges of attempting to recruit Muslim converts to carry out militant attacks. The suspects were inspired by the #IslamicState terrorist organization but are not members of the group.
This is another terrorist plot in Europe with citizens of Tajikistan in recent days. On April 15 German authorities detained 5 Tajiks suspected of forming an IS cell plotting attacks in #Germany.
Two individuals in this Tajik cell in Germany were alleged to have traveled to Albania with plans to carry out a contract killing. Around two weeks later, authorities in Albania said they arrested a Tajik citizen sought by Germany for suspected membership in an IS cell.

(1) The extreme accommodations being offered by Grassley & Mitch are the greatest #BlessYourHeart in history.

They know she will NEVER repeat her allegations under oath.

They know the votes next week WILL be 11-10 then 51-49.

They know Kav will NEVER be impeached.

#Chill
(2) OK I used a little poetic license in Tweet #1. They can't know exactly what the votes will be; there's more than one way to #ConfirmKavanaugh next week. Any judge *could* theoretically be impeached on a new issue, but IMHO Kav is the least likely person ever to commit crime.
(3) I've had it with all the shrieking over this confirmation. No, ongoing Democrat slime ball tactics to undermine Kav once he's on the SCOTUS are not going to succeed. Haven't you learned this by now?

The more they try, the more they show voters who they are. #WalkAway
