The War in the Ukraine

I think it would be of some great convenience to get F-16s to try to bomb the Russians when it becomes muddy season, But those F-16s I heard are the very early blocks that might be passed their service life. An F-16I got shutdown in Syria before by an S-200 there might be a better chance that they might just crash based on their service life.
Anything that fly over Ukraine is asking to go down... F-16 on unprepared runway will just eat up dirt like a vacuum cleaner or will be awesome targets on known Ukrainian airports. Their life will be short and fiery.
Even with degraded Ukrainian airdefences, Russian aircraft just lobe glide bombs from afar.
Russians using cluster munitions on a cluster of Ukrainian vehicles.
Burning Ukrainian vehicles in Orekhiv sector.
First loss of an M1064A3 self propelled mortar supplied by the Americans. This is basically an M120 mortar on an M113.
Lancet takes out a Humvee in the Kherson front.
Lancet takes out an AN/TPQ-36 counter battery radar.
BMP-2 fires on a group of Ukrainian troops, reportedly with great effect.
Ukrainian quadcopter strike on an airfield reported one plane damaged, possibly a Tu-22M3.
Remains of a converted Ukrainian S-200 missile that was shit down in a failed attack.
Akhmat forces bombarding Ukrainian forces at Klishchiivka. At least 12 APCs and two tanks were reported destroyed.
Akhmat sends an FPV drone to a Ukrainian mortar nest in Klishchiivka.
Many of those who went were specialists and techs on drone development which makes the hit important in terms of overall effect.

Has they considered counting the number of urns used at cremation facilities? /s
I feel like using a hodge podge of multitude of different foreign equipment, each with its unique model number parts ID, some discontinued or backlogged thousand miles away, might be a worst logistical nightmare in world history of human warfare....Has there been even worst examples? This likely is by far the worst.
I think the F-16 idea is dead.
Lend lease was pretty much the same thing back in WW2. The Americans offloading all their unwanted and obsolete inventory. At least Ukraine got some decent systems.
The logistical complexities seems to be much was and was an avoidable situation with better planning. It comes from the fact that lots of countries want to help, but aren't prepared to give much.
Speaking of censorship, Military Summary channel was saying the Russian govt will implement a new policy where only the MOD can release videos of combat operations starting in September. And currently Kupyansk area is the test ground for this, hence why there's a relative lack of footage from the Russian side of the Kupyansk front despite reports of heavy front line activity.
Not too sure what means for all the usual Russian telegram channels that post vids from the frontlines.
Information blackout could also mean preparation for a major offensive.

Exactly how is Russia supposed to launch such a gotcha attack without US ISR detecting deployment of Russian troops? Btw Ukraine has 60-80k troops in defensive positions on north northeast of Ukraine how will Russians break those lines when they couldn't break defensive lines to east and south? This isn't Feb 2022 when there were no trench system with mines unlike today. Not to mention they have more capable arty and MLRS any Russian cross border attack would we a lot worse than their "offensive" at Vuhledar where they almost lost a division worth of armored vehicles.
Lol any buildup would be obvious enough to anyone with 2 functioning eyes and some drones without you having to fellate "US ISR" lmao. Same way Russian ISR spotted Ukrainian offensive buildup and was waiting for you.
If they are going on an offensive they would seek to punch through with numbers and weight. In the 2000s, there is no surprising any non shit military formation with large troop maneuvers.
Does Ukraine have enough troops to hold it? We can just wait and see.
M109 taken out by Lancet in the Kupyansk direction.
The work of obtf Kaskad. Intelligence drones, maybe referring to Orlans and Supercams, search and spot for targets for Lancets to attack, here a Ukrainian artillery piece.
Italian FH-70 taken out by Lancet.
Explosion in Kiev. Someone did something stupid by sawing off and striking the warhead of a fallen R-27 missile with a hammer. This is an air to air missile if you don't know.
Artillery from the Siberian Association strikes an AFU truck.
Drone with thermal imager adjusting Russian artillery fire at Rabotino.
Battle in Rabotino. Wounded is transferred to an AFU IFV only to have a Russian FPV drone flew into it.
Your daily Ka-52 kills.
AFU APC hit on the move by Lancet.
Ukrainian vehicles cemetery on the road to Rabotino.
