1/8 GBU-39 SDB precision guided glide bombs could almost be a game changer for Ukraine. Take by @joni_askola Image
2/8 russia's defense industry has seen few tangible successes in this war, but their glide bombs stand out as a notable achievement. These cost-effective weapons efficiently inflict substantial damage at the front lines. Image
3/8 Confirmation has been received that Ukraine's Mig29 fighter jets are capable of deploying GBU-39 SDB precision-guided glide bombs. Image
4/8 Ukraine encountered problems with russian jamming on the GLSDB, but it seems that the GBU-39 small-diameter bomb has shown resilience against jamming. Hopefully, a solution for the ground-launched version will be found soon. Image
5/8 This is fantastic news, as these bombs are both cost-effective and have been manufactured in large quantities. Additionally, they boast a longer range compared to most other bombs in Ukraine's arsenal. Image
6/8 Ukraine's allies have supplied JDAM ER, AASM Hammer, and Paveway IV munitions, all of which are crucial. However, the quantities are probably limited, so any additional supply is greatly appreciated. Image
7/8 The deployment of F16 jets is expected to aid in keeping russian Su-34 aircraft at a distance, as well as in enabling Ukraine to conduct more bombing runs on russian forces. However, there is still a significant journey ahead. Image

1/8 The time for excuses is over: Europe must step up and take on the responsibility of replacing the US in Ukraine moving forward. Take by @joni_askola Image
2/8 The aid package from the United States is excellent and will provide Ukraine and Europe with some breathing room to prepare. However, we cannot afford to find ourselves in the same situation in the spring of 2025 as we were a year earlier. Image
3/8 Ukraine's destiny holds greater significance for Europe than for the United States, and we should express gratitude to the United States for the substantial aid they have provided. While we hope for the aid to continue, we cannot take it for granted. Image

1/6 Syrskyi confirms that France is going to send instructors to Ukraine. Update and take by @joni_askola Image
2/6 "I have already signed the documents that will allow the first French instructors to visit our training centers soon and familiarize themselves with their infrastructure and staff," said Syrskyi on his Telegram channel. Image
3/6 This is fantastic news because it's probable that other countries will also step up and send their own. Ukraine is currently mobilizing and facing a shortage of instructors, as many of its units are deployed at the front. Image

Why should talk about a big war between Russia and NATO not frighten us, but should push us towards unification and greater assistance to Ukraine? Putin may really be thinking about not stopping in Ukraine, but that is precisely why he should be stopped there. This is the

only way to avoid a big conflict - to provide Ukraine with everything it needs. The fear of a big war should not paralyze Western partners, but rather push them to action. Fear is the Kremlin's main weapon. Many politicians in the West, expecting that Putin will not stop in

Ukraine, are not ready to send their weapons to Ukraine, expecting that they may be needed in the future. In part, this happened with the initiative to send additional Patriot systems, which many countries refused to provide. Of course, the huge cost of these systems plays

1/6 Way to go! The UK and other allies are secretly buying Soviet weapons around the world to replenish Ukraine's stockpiles. Update by @joni_askola Image
2/6 The Times published a news article stating that the UK and its allies have been covertly purchasing Soviet weapons, along with probable ammunition, from various locations worldwide. Image
3/6 This bears some resemblance to the Czech artillery initiative, albeit for different systems. Similar efforts have been undertaken previously, and I have consistently advocated for such actions. Image

2/6 Ukraine's General Staff is undergoing a major overhaul! According to Brigadier General Yevhenii Ostrianskyi, the reform will see a 60% reduction in staff, with some personnel being sent to combat units. This move aims to optimize structural units and reduce overlap. Image
3/6 The dismissed personnel will be used to backfill operational and tactical command and control bodies, as well as combat military units. This will allow for the rotation of units that have been performing combat missions in the war zone for a long time. Image
