The tips coming in to the Ukrainian army by people in the Khearson area is insane.

I'll see what funds I can shift your way. All of my spare cash has been going to a few Ukrainian friends that has been hunting down and extracting orphaned children out of hot zones. It's a small group of former Ukrainian army vets. They just got done with a run from Poltava. |

One thing for sure, the drone usage in this war has driven development of them to an entire new level.

Interesting....
Translation from Russian: fragments of the American AGM-88 HARM (High-speed Anti-Radar Missile) - a high-speed anti-radar missile - were found. The ammunition was issued by the marking on the tail "BSU-60 A / B" View Quote

That is what makes this very interesting, both for me and the account that posted that. I would not be surprised if Ukraine had a truck mounted method of ground launching them once a known Russian air defense radar was on and within range. Or modified an aircraft to be able to launch them, if this really is a HARM. Just spitballing ideas though. |

Digging a little, Northrop Grumman had a shipping container ground launched HARM display in 2018.
https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/24111/northrop-grumman-shows-off-shipping-container-launched-anti-radiation-missile-concept The Association of the United States Army conference and expo is underway in Washington DC and our own Joe Trevithick was making the rounds around the show floor and spotted a very interesting concept from Northrop Grumman. It takes the increasingly popular containerized weapons trend and mixes it with the company's newest anti-radiation missile designs, the AARGM, which is the advanced AGM-88E version of the long-proven High-Speed Anti-Radiation Missile (HARM), and the longer-range AARGM-ER with its sleeker form factor. You can read all about that missile here. In essence, such a system could place enemy threat emitters at risk in a persistent manner anywhere within the range of launcher's missiles. And that containerized launcher could be located on a road or at sea, as well as in semi-fixed positions. View Quote |

I would also have to assume that this may have as much to do with degrading Russian air defenses recently as the HIMARS systems. Ukrainian Su-25's were up yesterday working in significant numbers, performing direct attacks against Russian forces. Clearly, something has changed in recent days. |

Originally Posted By Charging_Handle: If Ukraine gets F-16s and uses that paint scheme, I'm buying a diecast as soon as they become available! Best looking F-16, ever! View Quote This just got me thinking about Erik Price on the Shawn Ryan podcast. He was talking about how we could have prevented the war altogether had we given the UAF our recently decommissioned F15 and F16 squadrons (that are now in F35s). They're almost a complete write-off as they sit in long term storage in the desert. He estimated ~$300mil in maintenance to get them operational again. The main concern was trained pilots, which he brought up a NATO Flying Tigers style volunteer group as a holdover until a UAF pipeline could be established. |

I'm trying to see if this helps in knowing when stuff blows up in a big way, perhaps a supplement for the FIRMS data. This system uses a commercial sattelite and watches for flashes in Ukraine, then geolocates them on Google maps. Flashes are rated in magnitude from 1 to 5, 5 being huge. I think some big ammo dumps registered a 3 recently. Accuracy is 2.5km of map point.
Just got this notice:
Now to see if there is evidence that something was hit. Occasionally it updates with an image to see weather for the area. Again, same area, bigger flash. Secondaries?
FIRMS data 53 min ago. |

I'm still trying to wrap my head around how parts of an AGM-88 were found over there ?
Last time I checked, there is no Ground Launched version ? So, is somebody trolling the Russians with some supposedly "Found" pieces of a HARM Missile, for the purposes of mind fuckery ? In conjunction with the above posted pictures of a fictitious Ukrainian F-16 ? Nice. |

The current poor state of communications in the LPR/DPR forces, interesting read.
https://wartranslated.com/lpr-volunteer-and-blogger-murz-describes-the-state-of-radio-comms-in-the-republics-as-apocalyptic/ Here at WarTranslated we’ve covered the livejournal blog of an old-school “LPR” blogger and volunteer Murz (aka Andrey Morozov) on a number of occasions. Murz is an engineering guy who repairs and accumulates various communications equipment for the so-called Republic’s Army Corps, and has been involved in the process since early 2000s, way before the republics emerged in 2014. His reports are often eye-opening as Murz doesn’t spare words to describe the real state of affairs in his blog. On 7 August, he published a post detailing the current situation with communication devices in the “LPR” forces. Mainly, he says that the essentials such as tank intercoms have run out, and existing radio stations that are being used come from the Soviet era, such as the R-123 tube radios. We provide the translation of the post below: View Quote |

Slava Ukraini! FVP! I'd rather see 25,000 on a pile. The PR value of live prisoners is pretty high, though. Sure, I don't care how many die before the rest give up, but they should definitely give up. Let them spend some time in the west under controlled circumstances, free them from propaganda, and they'll never support Putin or his cronies again. And of course, there is extensive UXO & demining work to be done all over Ukraine, that will take years, even for 15-25K POWs. Oh, and the Russians don't get to go home until every Ukrainian taken by Russia comes home. I think I saw Russia claiming they've "taken in" three million "refugees." |
