A message from the Wagner chief in the ruins of Bakhmut.

Wait, so Bakhmut is fully Russian now?!? Did it just happen? I thought Wagner was running out of ammo and retreating and using what ammo they had to shoot at their own Russian soldiers who were fleeing when the Ukrainians counter attacked? I'm not being sarcastic, I genuinely dont know if Bakhmut is fully Russian now.

Are you sure? 施佬 and gang often complained Russian has different criteria at calculating their weapons’ ranges. e.g. the speed of the launch platform, the altitude of it, the size of the target, etc

There is another criteria. presumably active seeker not used until 110km. but these will be for export.

It is effective when used against air targets of various types at ranges up to 110 km in conditions of active enemy opposition.

Ukrainian minister said they need aircraft with missile range greater than 150km. but those ranges will be against some thing flying at medium altitude.

He emphasized that the Armed Forces would be grateful for any aircraft, but the main combat aircraft should be more modern. That is, it should "see" more than 200 km and hit targets at a distance of more than 150 km.

"Counterattack" was probably to evacuate the remaining Ukraine forces. Bahmut is done. Let's see what is next.

For context the leaked US documents last month pegged it at 50 British SOF operatives at the time, more than triple the 14 operatives it listed the US as having (Yes, veracity is unknown). An aggressive stance is universally supported by the mainstream political parties and the public at large (radiation and nerve agent poisoning on British soil were widely publicised events that haven't been forgotten) so they have the political room to be more overt in assistance

The battle of Bakhmut is definitely over unless the Ukrainians launch a counteroffensive in the coming days. I know Suriyak as one of the most trustworthy reporters on Twitter about the Russo-Ukraine-NATO war. When the man says it is over for the moment than I believe the man. Zero emotions in his reporting. Cold reporting and nothing more.

As of late, only for Sweden but I think they started to deviate from it as well with the latest variants of the Grippen.
The C/D versions are designed with it in mind, have not heard anything else about the latest E version.
It is not just the planes though, It is/was a system with loads of dispersed airfields with hardened bunkers spread far apart, Decoy bunkers, Decoy planes etc. Went under the name Bas 60 and Bas 90.

Was meant to make it hard to destroy the Air force on the ground even with Nuclear weapons, requiring many Aim points for every Airfield. Without the accompanying Airbase system the planes alone wont give you much.

Ukrainian mercenary sabotage group in Kherson, spotted and tracked by drone to an ammo depot. The depot and shelter was hit by a strike.


Hyacinth-S firing. Video cuts in to a scene which appears as Krasnopol strikes on Ukrainian positions.


This is a Ukrainian mortar nest, probably in the 'Aircraft' or 'Tetris' sector of now Artemovsk before it fell. Drone spotted and dealt with by artillery.


Ukrainian BRDM-2 gets attacked by Russian FPV drone, with a second drone providing 3rd person POV to confirm the kill.


A Russian T-72 falls victim to a brutal Ukrainian howitzer attack.
