Ukraine needs fighter jets to stop glide bombs

According to a representative of the Ukrainian Air Force, the Ukrainian army is not able to withstand Russian long-range gliding bombs in front-line areas and needs American-made fighter jets.

/Newsweek/
The West argues for the refusal by saying that American fighters require too much time to train Ukrainian pilots to operate.

Ukraine will also need to build a new infrastructure to accommodate NATO aircraft.
If Ukraine does not launch a counteroffensive soon, it will face a bleak future
said Lord Dannatt, a former chief of the General Staff of the British Army.

He stressed that thanks to the supply of Western weapons, Ukr will be able to make a "breakthrough" on the battlefield. Image

The editor-in-chief of Censor.net, Yuri Butusov says that the United States has greatly reduced the supply of 155-mm howitzers and ammunition for them, as well as Javelins and Stingers.

Butusov believes: the US will be able to increase deliveries to Ukraine only in two years, and in the meantime simply forget about quantative advantages over the Muscovites in armaments.
The Americans say the report about the Kinzhal (Dagger) downing a few days ago is true.
The only missile that could potentially shoot it down is the PAC-3 with a MSE Kinetic Interceptor.

Earlier, the US had already transferred similar equipment to the Ukrainian military, however, they were low-power emitters with a short range. It is thought they were not very effective

"There are no Ukr soldiers in Bakhmut, because we no longer take prisoners. But it is full of corpses of the Ukrainian military. Zelensky is lying. Bakhmut is taken along all legal boundaries.
The last Ukrainian soldier ran across the road half an hour ago, was dressed in a woman's dress.

We shot him because we don't take prisoners."

⚡️In the Zaporozhye direction in the zone of responsibility of the Vostok grouping, the enemy managed to penetrate 400 meters from yesterday, in the morning the enemy went on the offensive, at the moment there is a battle, artillery is working closely against the enemy.
⚡️In the Ugledar direction, a battle is underway in the village of Novodonetsk. Marines stopped the enemy.

The weather conditions are difficult for carrying out artillery adjustments from the air

⚡️These attacks are still currently classed by Russian reports as larger probing attacks...the main enemy forces haven't yet been committed
❗️Now we can definitely say that the offensive of the AFU has finally begun.

/Sofa General Staff/
1/ Ukr is launching probing attacks in both bakhmut & donetsk/zaporizhzhia to identify where they will launch their offensive. As predicted in my video, they are fighting west of Ugledar as that seems to be the weakest point of the Russian defenses in the south.

Weeb Union
2/ So far Ukraine hasn't had any success but the Russian defensive capabilities are being shown. That is exactly the point of the Ukrainian attacks.

What does this mean? It means the offensive is coming VERY SOON. This is the prelude.

Hi everyone

June 6 Updates Image
❗️The mayor of Nova Kakhovka (Kherson Reg), specified that the upper part of the Kakhovka power station was destroyed as a result of shelling, but the dam itself was not destroyed.

The water level rose 2.5 meters downstream, all services are in place, RIA Novosti reported.
One more video from Nova Kakhovka

Both sides are blaming each other
The Evacuation has begun in the Ukraine-controlled Kherson region

This was announced by the head of OVA Prokudin. After 5 hours the water level will be critical according to local media
⚠️Just a reminder, such a scenario as is happening now with the flooding, was one of the reasons for the Russian withdrawal from Kherson across the Dnieper last year
❗️Video from the Kakhovka HPP shows the scale of damage to the dam and the main building. According to emergency services, 11 out of 28 spans were destroyed.

Water runs downstream - 80 settlements can fall into the flood zone.
❗️Ukrainians are evacuating their men from some of the Kherson islands...apparently under artillery fire
No reports about any huge detonations suggest the dam just broke down - after Kiev regime reopened the closed dams up to the river after having them closed till 4th of May.

🇦🇺🇺🇦❗️Australia and Ukraine are negotiating the supply of 41 x F / A-18A / B fighters to Ukraine and their operation by retired Australian pilots.....I should mention that the Fighters are also "retired" Image
⚡️Ukr military fired at the Kakhovka HPP at night with the "Olha" (Alder) MLRS, the emergency services told the media.

The impact led to the destruction of 3 spans of the HPP under the pressure from the water.

The "Olha" (Alder) MLRS is a Ukr modification of the Smerch ImageImage
❗️ In Kharkov, the headquarters of the extremist organizations "Patriot of Ukraine", "Prosvita" and "Azov" on Rymarskaya Street in the city center was destroyed by a night missile attack Image

Prediction on what could happen with the flooding ImageImage
This scenario is unlikely UNLESS the dam collapses completely which will result in a surge of water

1/ Statements of Russian President Putin

▪️In Ukraine, significant enemy losses exceeding the "classic indicator" are observed.

▪️Modern weapons are not enough yet, but the defense industry is developing quickly, and all the tasks set before the defense will be fulfilled.
2/ ▪️Ukr troops didn't achieve their goals in any area thanks to courage of Rus soldiers and the correct organization of troops.

▪️It can be argued that the Ukr offensive has begun, as they are using strategic reserves.

▪️Attacks failed, but AFU still has offensive potential.

According to the latest reports that I've seen the situation at the Vremevka bridgehead is something like shown on the map Image
The key location in this sector is the town of Staromikhailovka which is what this Ukr attack is aiming for almost certainly.

If they manage to capture and hold it, then the territory roughly north of the black line will automatically fall

Map: Weeb Union (edited) Image
However, they probably need to capture it fast before they run out of steam, as the ground they currently hold is largely surrounded by high ground controlled by the Russians. Image

Acc to Rybar, the Russian current positions are 700m to the South

Keep in mind, that this is an ongoing battle and both sides seem to be pilling in reserves Image
1/ AFU have brought 8 x Bgds on the Vremevka Salient in recent days

Not all are full Bgds but it's still a pretty heavy concentration for a relatively small area
2/ I don't have data on Russian units atm

So the AFU have the initiative while the Russians are responding with active defence (defence with limited counter attacks)

Hi everyone

Morning Update for June 15
No significant changes reported on the Vremevka Salient over the past 24 hrs.

Going by the maps and as reported late yesterday, the frontline between Urozhaine and Novodonetsk has been straightened out somewhat Image
As mentioned previously, Staromlinovka is the main prize in this sector as it's an imporatnt hub for Russian supplies to the other positions & settlements to the North of it.
The AFU has to take Urozhaine and Staromajorsk to move on Staromlinovka OR they could try to bypass the 2 settlements and attack via the fields directly on Staromlinovka as they did a few days ago

Good Morning - June 17 Updates Image
🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦The most active part of the Zaporozhye frontline and where heavy fighting took place was at Pyatikhatki

Earlier, the AFU managed to enter the western part of the town but failed to establish themselves there. Latest reports say they were pushed out with significant losses. Image
Presumably, the AFU is present in the stretch of forest to the west of Pyatikhatki which can be a potential threat to Russians positions at the town of Zherebranyanka (to the south) Image
The wider area including the town of Kamyanka which is contested. An important road goes from there south, which the AFU tried to reach but have failed so far Image
🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦Vremevka Salient

No significant changes.

The AFU launched several attacks (blue rifle icons) that were reportedly repulsed. Image
Looks like they're trying to pinch off the small Russian bridgehead around the town of Rovnopil as well as continued attempts to reach Urozhaine via the fields to the West.

It's unclear who controls the fields marked out on the map.

❗️Starting a new "World War Z" thread.

Last one ends here
❗️After a pause of several days, NATO chose to launch an attack on a Kursk (Khalino) airfield with ATACMS missiles. To distract and overload the air defense system, the attack involved drones also. Unfortunately, not all missiles were shot down.

◾️The Khalino airfield in the Kursk region, is one of the sites where reinforced concrete shelters are being built at a rapid pace.

◾️Based on the published footage, it looks like 2 missiles got through and released their cluster munition payload.

◾️The exact damage caused is unknown at the moment, although it's reported that combat aircraft were moved from the border airfields and relocated further inland a while ago.
The following is a summary from several opinion type pieces

Objectively, NATO countries and the bloc's leader, the United States, have two basic options for further action:

1. Raise the stakes and continue using Western missiles on the "old" territory of Russia,

2. Abandon this and return to the previous framework of the conflict in Ukraine.

However, the second option is an admission that Russian deterrence has worked, which means significant image loss for the West.

Western missile strikes on the "old territory" have continued. Either the United States does not believe in Russia's use of force against the North Atlantic Alliance, or the outgoing Biden administration has decided to actually start a war in Europe, a scenario which it sees as favorable for the US

Therefore, the choice facing Russia is now extremely simple.

The first scenario is one in which Moscow relies on defeating the enemy on the front where it is doing well, and does not respond.

Then the level of escalation from the opposing side will increase. The next targets could include the HQ of the SMO command in Rostov-on-Don or the Black Sea Fleet base in Novorossiysk or the Crimean Bridge again.

The second scenario is Russia raising the stakes, that is, a more powerful response than the non-nuclear test of "Oreshnik". A response that could be limited to the territory of Ukraine OR expand into NATO countries.

The Russian leadership has a lot of options for action, and here it is a question of exclusively political will. Although for some reason the West does not believe the Kremlin will escalate to a level causing a large scale direct clash.

Let us also add that if the first scenario is chosen, new types of Western missile weapons may appear in Ukraine and Moscow and St. Petersburg may be under attack.

The use of a "dirty" nuclear bomb by the enemy is also a possibility

The drone is launched from a low-tonnage truck using a launch rocket accelerator, and then flies to the target on a piston engine with a pusher propeller.
