Kim dot blob is a fugitive in the US. Tell fatty to quit hiding in ball less New Zealand and make it to America. His websites, there were a few, but especially megaupload, was a free for all for sharing copyrighted movies and even child porn. Dude is scum. A reaper drone should pay fatty an overdue visit.
Did I mention that it was Friday...
Hope this is real and works out for them. Following the traditions of the Lafayette Escadrille, Eagle Squadron, and Flying Tigers.
They must be super desperate if they are embracing multiculturalism
There was video of the F16 being loaded on board yesterday though I am still cautious about this.
I’ve been in an AN-124, those things are massive.
I heard from really smart people that bitcoin is useless.
I may be wrong about half of that.
I dunno. A reduction from 1,200 catching the deads to “1,100” 1,100 just isn’t very encouraging.
Ukraine war briefing: Waves of Russian bombings and infantry assaults drive major gains in east
Russian military intensifies pressure on key Ukrainian transport hub of Pokrovsk; Kyiv receives bodies of 250 slain soldiers in exchange with Moscow. What we know on day 892- Russian assaults are raising pressure on the strategic eastern logistics hub of Pokrovsk in the Donetsk region, Ukraine says, as waves of guided bombs and infantry lead to some of Moscow’s largest territorial gains since the spring. The push is fuelling a surge in civilians fleeing, with requests for evacuation in the area increasing about tenfold over the past two weeks, according to a volunteer helping people leave. Russia’s gains of about 57 sq km (22 sq miles) in the space of a week are the third-largest recorded since April after they made only modest gains in June, Pasi Paroinen, an analyst with the Black Bird Group, told Reuters.
- Russian forces are using warplanes and artillery fire to support waves of infantry assaults in the area near Pokrovsk, a spokesperson for Ukraine’s National Guard said in televised remarks. “These assaults are not always supported by armoured vehicles, often it is infantry assaults,” Ruslan Muzychuk said on Friday, flagging the bombing by Russian warplanes as a particular problem. “It’s a significant threat … because the Pokrovsk and Toretsk fronts are taking a large share of the daily aviation strikes carried out on the positions of Ukrainian defenders.” Russian forces have been steadily inching forward on several fronts in the eastern Donetsk region, staging particularly fierce attacks near Pokrovsk, with Kyiv’s troops stretched thin.
- Russia’s defence minister said its forces had captured five settlements in the Donetsk region in the past week. Russia’s use of warplanes to fire guided bombs was crucial for Moscow’s battlefield tactics, said Valeriy Romanenko, a Kyiv-based aviation expert, who compared it to a “conveyor belt”. “The Russians are not piercing our defence, they are pushing it back. They are advancing 100, 150, 200 metres every day using this tactic: dropping guided bombs, then a ‘meat assault’, [and if those are] repelled, dropping guided bombs again, a ‘meat assault’ again.” He said the supply of US F-16 fighters to Ukraine could disrupt that dynamic if the jets were able to threaten Russian warplanes, but that such operations were unlikely for now given the risk it would present for the new pilots operating expensive jets.
- Ukraine said on Friday it had received the bodies of 250 killed soldiers in one of the largest exchanges of remains since Russia invaded in February 2022. Kyiv said it handed over the remains of 38 Russian soldiers in the deal, which was mediated by International Red Cross. DNA analysis will be used to identify the bodies before releasing them into the custody of the families for funeral ceremonies and burials.
- Ilya Yashin, a Russian activist jailed for supporting the war in Ukraine, said he had not given his consent to being deported from Russia in a prisoner exchange and warned that the move would encourage president Vladimir Putin to take more “political prisoners”. “What happened on August 1 is not an exchange,” he told reporters in Bonn. “This is my expulsion from Russia against my will. My first wish in Ankara was to buy a ticket and go back to Russia.” Yashin’s comments came as Russian dissidents freed as part of Thursday’s historic prisoner swapbetween Moscow and the west shared their mixed feelings about the deal and vowed to continue their political activity from abroad.
- Ukraine’s central bank has predicted emigration levels this year will be far higher than previously forecast, largely due to power cuts caused by Russian attacks on energy facilities. “The worsening of the energy situation and slow normalisation of the economic conditions will lead to a larger outflow of migrants abroad in 2024 and 2025 than previously expected,” the National Bank of Ukraine said in a report. It predicted there would be a net outflow of 400,000 people this year, while next year’s outflow would be 300,000. The bank predicted a net return of 400,000 people in 2026 but said the process would be “gradual”.
- The US rating agency S&P cut Ukraine’s credit rating to “selective default” on Friday, citing the country’s failure to make a coupon payment on an existing bond. President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has signed a law allowing Ukraine to suspend foreign debt payments until 1 October, paving the way for a moratorium to be called that would formally mark a sovereign default.

Curious. I thought all of the donated jets were coming from European nations? Was this one of theirs being used for training in AZ? And, how common / effective is it to move jets inside of a bigger jet? One of my wife’s BFFs was married to an AF pilot and when he retired he went straight to work for a contractor ferrying jets from Europe back to the US as Iraq2 wound down.
Yeah. Makes me wonder where too because they had supposedly pulled much out of Black Sea.WTF? Russian subs must have been vastly overrated in Red October.
Actually looking into it more, looks like it may have been damaged in 2023 on attack that got another ship. It was there for servicing. So this may have been killing it off for good before repairs were made. Still 2!

Great info, thanks. You are right that so far all the aircraft have come from other nations. In the description from yesterday, they were speculating that we may finally be sending aircraft or that this was spare parts. There was a fuselage that was recognizable is all I know for sure
But Russia has Nukes!!!!!!!!!
LOL. That they will never used because this WH has informed Putin that Moscow will be wiped off the map, like Hiroshima, should Vlad contemplate it.

It’s a guess, but maybe it was an airframe used for training? I’ve posted before we were in Arizona this Spring and had multiple flights of F-16s fly over us outside of Tucson from the ANG wing stationed at the airport. I kept looking up and hoping it was a Ukrainian at the controls. From what I can find F-16 pilots for the US and around the world train at the ANG base. I suppose their might be foreign owned jets there.Great info, thanks. You are right that so far all the aircraft have come from other nations.

Davis-Monthan has A-10s, which is what the husband of my wife’s BFF flew, mostly. He had some F-16 time, too.
Arty numbers continue strong. This doesn’t account for the latest member of the Davy Jones Locker brigade. It’s nice to see continued AA degradation.
Thanks, TE.
