5-plane formation just after noon over Seattle today.

May have been F/A-18s or F-15s as the best images I have show what look like two engines and twin tails.
By coincidence, perhaps, there were a trio of F/A-18Fs from VF-154 "Knights" at KBFI last night. Tails 102, 103 & 105. NH tail code denotes ties to Carrier Air Wing 11, which is Teddy Roosevelt's.
There was also an AFSOC 🇺🇸 C-146A Wolfhound at KBFI last night - 12-3040 #AE68BA

Hearing report of a plane crash near Ryazan in Russia 🇷🇺

I haven't heard any confirmation yet as to type, though one source said it was an Il-76. Updates when I get some more info.
Certainly looks like the cockpit of an Il-76. Now to work on whether it was civilian or mil.

Screenshots from a TASS segment on the crash. Definite Il-76 variant, just not much left to suggest one way or another a specific type. ImageImage

There is just so much to break down about this video of a 🇺🇦 Ukrainian Navy attack with a pair of AShMs on 🇷🇺 Project 22870 rescue tug Vasiliy Bekh (SB-739).

A short thread in cooperation with @ameliairheart.

1/7
Background: Vasiliy Bekh (SB-739) was a 57-meter long seagoing tug of the Russian Navy's Black Sea Fleet. On May 11, Vasiliy Bekh or a vessel very similar in shape/size was spotted resupplying Snake Island with a SAM system encumbered on its aft deck.
2/7
The attack: at 0354 local time (0054Z) 17 June 2022, Vasiliy Bekh was observed by a Ukrainian Navy TB2 at a range of 75 km at a bearing of 157° at position 45.213°, 30.614°.

The TB2 was observing & not a factor in guiding; its camera is observed at a very shallow angle.

18th Shturmovik Aviation Regiment really got eaten alive this past few months.

🇷🇺 Su-25SM RF-91957 / 03 RED from 18 ShAP is at least the 2nd Su-25 to RTB with major damage in the regiment. Maybe repairable, but unlikely.

At least 4 other Su-25s in 18 ShAP have been written off.
*At least five shot down: RF-91958, RF-91961, RF-91969, RF-93026 & RF-93027.

If RF-91957 does not return to action, it would be the sixth Su-25 from 18th Shturmovik Aviation Regiment out of the fight.
Also, realized RF-90965 was from 960 ShAP, so this is the 2nd documented Su-25 of the war having to RTB with major damage, but the first recorded from this regiment. Apologies.

There's a lot to unpack from this video.

The UAV seeing its own destruction.

The precision artillery strikes from at least 20 kilometers behind enemy lines.

But there is more to the story. What were the Russians doing here?

A short thread in cooperation w/ @ameliairheart.

1/
The facility the Russian vehicles were targeted at is the PJSC Polohy Sunflower Oil extraction plant. Russia has been accused of stealing sunflower oil from the facility since at least May 7th.

2/

ukragroconsult.com/en/news/russia…
Sunflower seeds are harvested in September & October.

Google Earth pass July 2020 shows nearly empty activity on the rails. However, 🇺🇦 Ukrainian Army video shows jam packed rail yard at the facility. Nearly all of these cars have been there since the start of the war.
