To note :  UPGRADES

By the way, on Ukrainian F-16s you can see a set with pylons with built-in missile attack warning sensors and countermeasures. PIDS+ from Israel's Elbit Systems.

Terma has already supplied Pylon Integrated Dispensing System Plus (PIDS+) and Electronic Combat Integrated Pylon System Plus (ECIPS+) pylons to the Belgian, Danish, Dutch and Norwegian Air Forces for installation on various F-16 modifications. In the past, Terma also produced similar integrated self-defense systems for Panavia Tornado combat aircraft.

 

 

 


 

to add to the above quote:

 

it’s understandable the delay in some of the aircraft UKRAF is receiving,.

 

these upgrades outlined above  will give UKR Pilots a massive advantage,  along with the training ,  and more likely, flight time they have been getting WITH these upgrades over the past year.

This is good news!  Ukraine is being well credited by @SilentSam, I mean the media, for inflicting heavy damage against Russia's Kharkiv offensive up North.

 

Urozhaine, East of Tokmak, is part of the Southern region where Ukrainian offensives the last two summers stalled? The Surovokin line. Eventually breaking the land bridge to Crimea remains the critical element in breaking the back of any hold on Crimea.  

Urozhaine

it will get interesting,  

but don’t , for one second think that UKR isn’t prepared for this ..

 and anything that “malfunctions “ or over shoots into a NATO or other EUR country will draw a response that will burn RuZ in a major way.

Thanks for keeping the info coming @SilentSam. I am not on Instagram or a lot of other websites and info on YouTube is getting hard to find. Your dedication to keeping us all informed is noted. Cheers!


Thank you Koots !

of course ,   It interests me ,  as I realize it does many others here..

 

just why we are a species that keeps on re-living historical conflicts that we never seem to learn from , is beyond belief..

 

But it truly starts with one, or a small group of people wanting power and wealth .

 

Greed.

 

    Our tolerance must be less,.  Our actions against , must be swift.

   And the punishment must match the full threat of the proven probable conspiracies they operated for.

 

The Haugue moved swiftly and surely after the 2nd world war to execute the Natzi Regime after the high crimes and atrocities were committed.

AFTER FACTS are too late.

 

Anyone using that familiar language for power,  is just as big a threat to human kind and should be dealt with in a similar way.

 

      No pacifism ,  No tolerance.

Two takeaways amongst some bland stuff about Kadryov.

 

1) Putin is better left in place.  His incompetence as a leader, specifically of an army, a corrupt army, has allowed Ukraine to defend itself. 

 

2) Two Colonels in Ukraine's secret service were just arrested for plotting a current hostage taking / assassination of Zelensky.

Mali's ''Junta'' has cut off diplomatic ties with Ukraine. Over its support of Rebels that fought ''govt.'' fighters who were backed by Wagner. 

 

The Junta who seized power, with Wagner's support in return for ''concessions,'' via military coup against the democratically elected govt..

A war of many fronts ..

 

 

A group of 70 MEPs demanded that the European Commission suspend Hungary's participation in the Schengen zone.

This is due to Budapest's easing of visa requirements for citizens of eight countries, including Russia and Belarus.

The EU fears that Hungary's relaxation of visa measures may give a "green light" to Russian spies and make it easier for them to get into the EU countries.
