Footage of a Russian strike, presumably by an Iskander-M ballistic missile, on a Ukrainian army field camp. The video was filmed near the Lozovaya-Slovyansk railway, between the villages of Sadovoe and Burbulatovo in the Kharkiv region. It is not known which Ukrainian unit the field camp belonged to.

Blue 21 was one of the modernized Su-25M1 with western and Ukranian equipment, though. If I recall correctly, the original modernization included updating some of the countermeasure suite.

If the RWR on F-16V upgrade blows big chunks then what chances does Blue 21 have?

Very interesting from Taiwan said regarding upgraded F-16s. Even after the upgrade. RWR has trouble reacting to PLA radar. Has trouble identifying the direction of the incoming signals. All of this has led ROCAF to lose nearly 110 pilots in the past year. Also, it says here that the new MMC in F-16s is not very reliable, likely related to yesterday's F-16 crash.

I think there is probably limitations to how much you can upgrade old F-16s
if the power can't support it, then your EW suite is going to be very limited.
