Just leaving this here for information, I was also wondering if it was possible to request SARSAT/COSPAS information regarding the location of aircraft emergency beacons that are specifically activated over the Occupied Ukrainian territories.
 https://www.sarsat.noaa.gov/emergency-406-beacons/ Perhaps some of these guys could provide some info. https://www.sarsat.noaa.gov/sarsat-partners-united-states/ I found a map of US and Atlantic ocean rescues here: https://www.arcgis.com/apps/mapviewer/index.html?layers=77f8b4b88380466db2de8e18a7b598af Now we need one for Ukraine. |

That A-50U that was spotted in Taganrog (below photos) was possibly moved inside of the Bariev hanger there for repairs because Russia is running out of them. See this thread from @MT Anderson which shows that at least seven of the remaining 13 A-50's are unflyable: https://x.com/MT_Anderson/status/1763394290649113001?s=20 Based on the satellite imagery, there appear to be 6 remaining operational A-50's and some of those may have other problems with the Radar, comms or ELINT systems. Airbase in Aktyubinsk On February 24, 2 A-50s were present. As of February 28, there was only 1 A-50 on the tarmac. Is it possible the missing plane was the one that flew to Taganrog? Airbase in Ivanovo There are 5 A-50s with engines in them. 7 A-50's are without engines. |

Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of 🇺🇦Ukraine Syrskyi announced personnel reshuffles among brigade commanders, noted that he continues work on the Eastern Front, where the situation remains difficult, but under control. Syrskyi added that groups of specialists were sent to individual brigades where there are problems with the training of the headquarters to transfer experience. "In some cases, when the commander is not in control of the situation, and the actions and commands directly pose a threat to the life and health of subordinates, I am forced to make personnel decisions," Sirsky emphasized. |

Ukraine is going to get their artillery immediately from this stockpile, and other countries are putting new manufactured rounds for Ukraine a few months later. The fact that some countries don't want to be mentioned means contributions are happening not in the public space. That is 500,000 155mm and 300,000 122mm artillery rounds.
🇫🇷🇨🇿🇳🇱🇨🇦🇩🇰🇺🇦 During the meeting hosted by French President Macron in Paris on Monday, the Netherlands agreed to contribute €100 million (now €250m), and preliminary commitments were secured from Canada, Denmark and other countries that did not want to be identified. |

If they keep getting multiple aircraft per day it is going to really start hurting the Russian air force in about a month. If it averages out to 1 aircraft per day, it's going to be noticeable in about 3 months. They are consistently getting Russia's best aircraft for precision attacks at long range. Once these guys are attrited, it will be easy for F-16's to mop up Su-25's and Su-24's and helicopters. |

He has made dismissive comments and is largely just ignoring it now. He did make a comment recently that might support the argument that he’s not saying what he wants to.

They are asking me to comment on Navalny. Well, here you go. In my heart I don’t give a fuck about Navalny.

Yep, it is going to hurt them, and as you said it starts accelerating the losses as aircraft get worn out or less capable aircraft are pressed into service. Inexperienced pilots to replace the dead ones also accelerate this process. Patriot PAC-2 has a feature for home on jam, but way back, there was the MIM-104B "anti-standoff jammer" (ASOJ) a missile designed to seek out and destroy ECM emitters. This feature doesn't require the guidance of the system like the standard PAC-2 round. And it can have a different flight profile which gives it longer range than publicly stated. The SA-5 is an interesting case use if they are getting front line Russian aircraft with it, but the Patriot systems are far more easy to move around, so they have a place as well in this. |

Ukrainian TG
Macron is trying to remove the German blinders from the EU: political showdowns are turning into enmity Paris instantly turned into a proactive supporter of Kyiv: in this way, France renewed the struggle with Germany for dominance in the EU. This is a good opportunity to overcome the Kremlin fear syndrome. 🫵🏼 The anamnesis of the relations between Berlin and Paris is well-tracked by the example of the last meeting of European leaders: French President Macron drove a tank over German Chancellor Scholz. At first, he irritated him with his "suggestion" about the deployment of Western ground troops to Ukraine, and later he openly mocked him. "Many of the people who say 'never-never' today were the same people who said 'never-never tanks, never-never planes, never-never long-range missiles, never-never all these things'... I remind you , that 2 years ago many people at this table were saying: "We will offer sleeping bags and helmets," - Macron. 👉🏼 The Germans replied that Macron is so cool only in words. France sent only €640 million in military aid to Ukraine, while Germany provided and planned to provide €17.7 billion: "Scholz uses every opportunity to put pressure on the EU countries, in particular France, to send more weapons and ammunition to Ukraine." 👉🏼 The French were also not silent: they say they provide really important weapons, and they do it with less hesitation than the Germans. And they remembered Taurus. 👉🏼 Taurus caused a separate international scandal. Scholz invented a whole handful of reasons why he does not share these missiles: starting from the fact that the chancellor is very worried about the appearance of Moscow, which can be spoiled by Ukrainian attacks, ending with a complex guidance system that takes place only with the participation of German army officers: they say, I do not want to repeat the experience of French and British colleagues who sent their specialists to Ukraine to serve SCALP and Storm Shadows, who became complicit in the war. The French and the British responded controversially: first, it is not true; secondly, sometimes it is worth chewing, and not spitting out information. 🫵🏼 Macron begins an open confrontation with Scholz at a time when Berlin loses its second blood partner - Washington. 👉🏼 The first was Moscow: the ex-chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel, hugged Putin so hard not so much to appease the Kremlin... but to gain access to cheap Russian resources, which created economic preferences, allowing to overtake France. 👉🏼 Washington also hugged Paris with special love and at every opportunity. For example, the story turned out to be loud when the US turned on the €50 billion French contract already signed with Australia for the production of submarines. It is not surprising that Macron professes slogans about "autonomization from the USA" and about economic cooperation with China, with which "we need to get along geopolitically." 🫵🏼 Macron's idea of introducing European ground troops into Ukraine is not only an opportunity to assert oneself over the indecision of partners. This is a chance to unite new EU members around Paris, who will feel the Kremlin's aggressive breath on the back of their head. 👉🏼 Now the French authorities are trying to get support inside the country. Of the latter: Prime Minister Gabriel Attal repeated in the Senate that the state can send its soldiers to Ukraine to "protect a certain number of borders"; and Macron invited the leaders of the country's parliamentary parties to talk about Ukraine. 👉🏼 It is logical to assume that behind the scenes, Paris is also working with the new members of the EU and NATO to give the initiative international weight. If at first we heard only negative comments from the leaders of European countries, now Estonia, Lithuania and the Netherlands "support" or "do not rule out" such a development. 🫵🏼 The announced initiative is not so much about the troops, but about changing the West's attitude towards Putin's war: Macron offers an active strategy of supporting Kyiv, without bringing it to the point where the bunker fuhrer himself attacks one of the NATO states. And that's right, because the whole Western logic of "avoidance of escalation", known as "Scholz's wallowing", was wrong. It is time for Europe to take off the blinders... P.S. Although the split of the EU is a story of its own. https://t.me/orestokratiia/948 |

Good channel-
The Kremlin decided to pump up European "nuclear" fears ... it turned out that until recently the biggest threat was Beijing The British Financial Times "suddenly" gained access to 29 top-secret Russian military files: this allowed journalists to "sharpen" previously unknown details of Russian nuclear doctrine. The main conclusion literally blows the roof off: Muscovites have much more reasons for using tactical nuclear weapons than they officially declare. 🫵🏼 The leaked documents are more than 10 years old, but their essence has hardly changed over time: the bunker* is allegedly ready to fire tactical nuclear warheads during almost every scare. In the language of experts, it sounds more beautiful: the operational threshold for the use of nuclear weapons can be very low, if the desired result for the Kremlin cannot be achieved by conventional means. 👉🏼 Threshold is a set of factors that lead Russian troops to "irreversible inability to stop enemy aggression" and cause "a critical situation for the state security of Russia." 👉🏼 A nuclear response can be a reflection on a wide range of adversary actions: from a hostile invasion of the territory of the Russian Federation to more specific triggers, such as the destruction of 20% of Russia's strategic ballistic missile submarines, 30% of its nuclear attack submarines, 3 or more cruisers, 3 airfields or a simultaneous attack on the main and reserve coastal command centers. 👉🏼 A separate document relays the palette of criteria for a potential nuclear strike, including the landing of the enemy on Russian territory, the defeat of border units, or an imminent attack by the enemy using conventional weapons. And here's my favorite: "the Russian military will be able to use tactical nuclear weapons for a wide range of purposes, including deterring states from using aggression [...] or escalating military conflicts," "stopping aggression," preventing Russian forces from losing battles or territory, to increase effectiveness Russian fleet. In fact, anytime, anywhere, and under any pretext. 👉🏼 Apparently, this "secret" horror film was painted by the best creatives of the Russian General Staff, and by order of "himself". After all, these "novels" contradict the military doctrine of the Russian Federation, which provides for the right to use the nuclear triad exclusively in response to an enemy's nuclear attack or in the event of aggression against the Russian Federation, when the very existence of the state is threatened. Or, or... no "whatever"... In the Black Sea alone, Ukraine gave many "reasons" for the use of "nuclear power", not to mention the deoccupation of "new territories of the Russian Federation". 🫵🏼 By the way: to add more weight to the "information", the files are stuffed with information about whom the Russian Federation considered a likely adversary until recently: you will be surprised, even a decade ago the Kremlin was expecting an invasion of China. 👉🏼 The Moscow elites saw the danger precisely in the PRC... even when Putin was creating an alliance with Beijing: the Eastern Military District of the Russian Federation regularly worked out numerous scenarios of a possible Chinese invasion. 👉🏼 The Second World Army was practicing nuclear first strike: The Northern Federation responds with tactical warheads to stop the South from advancing a 2nd wave invasion force, a typical scenario for such exercises. 👉🏼 This fear of China has not passed until now. With the beginning of the large-scale war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, the Kremlin transferred a lot of forces from the east to Ukraine, but the Chinese border did not remain exposed. Muscovy continues to strengthen and train its nuclear forces in the Far East. Many of these systems have a range only to hit the PRC. ☝🏼There are eternal elements on this planet: water, fire and intimidation of the West. It is already clear that today our partners fear not so much the Kremlin's nuclear triad as Putin himself: he scares them more than any warheads. This is practically the only thing he does competently. https://t.me/orestokratiia/947 *”bunker” or “bunker grandfather” is frequently used to mean Putin. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DonKey153: Originally Posted By jough43: If France, Poland or any other countries choose to put boots on the ground, I might suggest an easy approach first: Transnistria and Kaliningrad. Russia cannot defend either one. Putin would be beyond furious, but not be able to do much about it. Use little green men under Ukrainian flag to take Kaliningrad. What's good for the goose... Threat from the North-West As the Russian army succeeds in the Northern Military District zone, primarily in the Donbass, the Western coalition will begin to create a cascade of new threats in other directions. Russia has three distinctly vulnerable places: Transnistria, Kaliningrad and St. Petersburg. In the case of Transnistria, we are talking about the protection of Russian citizens in this republic, and the military group of the Russian Armed Forces located there, namely two reinforced motorized rifle battalions and a huge warehouse of Soviet weapons. The enemy subjected Transnistria to an economic blockade. Kaliningrad is a Russian exclave, the last of the visible achievements of the USSR's victory in the Second World War. Its economic, military and political blockade was already applied at the beginning of the Northeast Military District, and will continue to be applied in the foreseeable future. Threats in this regard have already been voiced. St. Petersburg and the St. Petersburg province (also known as the Leningrad region) are closest to NATO’s forward lines on the Eastern flank. St. Petersburg is the largest and most important scientific center and export hub, through which 200 million tons of export cargo passes, and specifically from Ust-Luga 100 million tons per year. Britain and its allies are extremely dissatisfied with the fact that sanctions and hostilities not only did not weaken the Russian economy, but gave it a powerful incentive for development. Only the real industrial sector of the Russian Federation increased over the year by more than 3%. The Western coalition plans to solve two problems: ✖️Pull a significant part of the Russian armed forces away from the Northern Military District zone, creating non-illusory military threats to the North-West of Russia. ✖️Deal a painful blow to Russian exports through the Baltic. Probably for this purpose, military provocations are being undertaken using drones to strike St. Petersburg and targets in the Leningrad region. This is very likely being done from the territory of the Baltic countries, pushing Russia to resolve the Baltic issue by military means. After which, Western countries will have grounds to block Russia in the Baltic. Literally. Britain's task is to force us to launch a military operation against the Baltic countries, that is, to actually attack NATO. The attack on the residential sector of St. Petersburg is a precursor to larger military provocations. There is a non-zero probability of an attack on one of the frigates of the Baltic Fleet by unknown naval drones. The activation of the North-Western direction is most likely carried out by the hands of British intelligence together with their “colleagues” from the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine. The British are the most sophisticated warmongers in the history of the world. Against this background, it is worth developing a comprehensive strategy for creating counter-threats in the North-West, including directly for Great Britain, and being prepared at any moment for an exponential increase in threats and provocations in the Baltic.

To do this, the Ukrainian Armed Forces use drones to detonate MON-50 anti-personnel mines in the air. The mine explodes in the air, covers a large area and hits infantry like a cluster munition. Ukrainians have also dropped mined batteries, flashlights, pickled cucumbers and even dildos on Russian positions. All fragmentation mines hidden in objects likely to be picked up by Russian soldiers for their personal use. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ServusVeritatis: They claimed another 34 last night ..this is getting out of hand for the Russians. That Russian fighter bomber channel was silenced about loses but isnt refuting these public claims all over by Ukraine .that silence tells plenty. That channel has been critical of Russian command and isn't going to willfully run fake rebuttals even if told not to confirm loses. Wonder what Ukraine is doing? Are they confirmed though? There used to be lots of video evidence of shoot downs. but for the last few months, the number of shoot down claims has gone up with almost nothing to back them up |

There used to be lots of video evidence of shoot downs. but for the last few months, the number of shoot down claims has gone up with almost nothing to back them up Two reasons for this. 1. Russian sources were told to shut up about confirming Russian aircraft losses in the past few days. 2. The Ukrainians are using something new that they don't want to show yet to give away how they are achieving the kills. Ukrainian claims have been pretty strict over the past two years. They haven't claimed Russian friendly fire incidents on their own aircraft, despite video proof and Russian claims, and they didn't claim the Wagner shoot downs either. There have been claims on Twitter in the past about Russian aircraft shot down that the Ukrainian govt. the next day says aren't true in their daily totals. So I tend to believe them when they are making an official claim, otherwise this will bite them in the ass because the Russians would not be losing planes, and they would lose a lot of credibility. I am sure they are well aware of this. |

Crash site yesterday was filmed by a passing Russia . Keep in mind that kills are being recorded as much farther from the front lines than normal.Civilians do post about “falling aircraft” on Telegram even if no vid is posted. The transponder beacons of Russian pilots that activate when they eject (or when their bodies are thrown from the cockpit) are being activated after attempted shoot downs. These aren’t encrypted in any way and are visible by most parties. The fighter-bomber channel stated he’s being told to no longer give BDA publicly and is alluding to being “told” what to say. He is not a fan of Russian command killing him/his friends. I. the last 10 days he hasn’t offered a single rebuttals to the mass Ukrainian claims. Deafening silence. Thats a lot of secondary evidence. |

It seems Ukraine fired on 3 Russian aircraft, but they are claiming 2 confirmed Russian aircraft downed so far.
Quote HistoryOn March 2, the Ukrainian military hit two enemy Su-34 and Su-35 aircraft with anti-aircraft missiles . Currently, the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is awaiting confirmation of the defeat This was reported by Air Force Commander Mykola Oleschuk . https://t.me/MykolaOleshchuk/216 "There has just been a combat use of anti-aircraft guided missiles against two enemy Su-34 and Su-35 aircraft. We are waiting for confirmation of the desired result!" - he wrote in the official Telegram channel as of 17:08. As of 18:48 , it became known that currently the Air Command "East" confirms only the downing of the Su-34 fighter-bomber. https://t.me/kpszsu/11347 "Unfortunately, only one", Mykola Oleschuk said The commander of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces said that the enemy continues to attack in the eastern direction with the use of guided aerial bombs from tactical aircraft . "It's getting harder and harder for the invaders to fly, and we need more systems, more weapons, to clear our skies!" Oleschuk said. " Mykola Oleshchuk ✔ ⚡️ The enemy continues to attack in the eastern direction using guided air bombs from tactical aircraft. There has just been a combat use of anti-aircraft guided missiles against two enemy Su-34 and Su-35 aircraft. We are waiting for confirmation of the desired result! It is becoming more and more difficult for the invaders to fly, and we need more systems, more weapons to clear our skies! P.S.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Prime: Threat from the North-West As the Russian army succeeds in the Northern Military District zone, primarily in the Donbass, the Western coalition will begin to create a cascade of new threats in other directions. Russia has three distinctly vulnerable places: Transnistria, Kaliningrad and St. Petersburg. In the case of Transnistria, we are talking about the protection of Russian citizens in this republic, and the military group of the Russian Armed Forces located there, namely two reinforced motorized rifle battalions and a huge warehouse of Soviet weapons. The enemy subjected Transnistria to an economic blockade. Kaliningrad is a Russian exclave, the last of the visible achievements of the USSR's victory in the Second World War. Its economic, military and political blockade was already applied at the beginning of the Northeast Military District, and will continue to be applied in the foreseeable future. Threats in this regard have already been voiced. St. Petersburg and the St. Petersburg province (also known as the Leningrad region) are closest to NATO’s forward lines on the Eastern flank. St. Petersburg is the largest and most important scientific center and export hub, through which 200 million tons of export cargo passes, and specifically from Ust-Luga 100 million tons per year. Britain and its allies are extremely dissatisfied with the fact that sanctions and hostilities not only did not weaken the Russian economy, but gave it a powerful incentive for development. Only the real industrial sector of the Russian Federation increased over the year by more than 3%. The Western coalition plans to solve two problems: ✖️Pull a significant part of the Russian armed forces away from the Northern Military District zone, creating non-illusory military threats to the North-West of Russia. ✖️Deal a painful blow to Russian exports through the Baltic. Probably for this purpose, military provocations are being undertaken using drones to strike St. Petersburg and targets in the Leningrad region. This is very likely being done from the territory of the Baltic countries, pushing Russia to resolve the Baltic issue by military means. After which, Western countries will have grounds to block Russia in the Baltic. Literally. Britain's task is to force us to launch a military operation against the Baltic countries, that is, to actually attack NATO. The attack on the residential sector of St. Petersburg is a precursor to larger military provocations. There is a non-zero probability of an attack on one of the frigates of the Baltic Fleet by unknown naval drones. The activation of the North-Western direction is most likely carried out by the hands of British intelligence together with their “colleagues” from the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine. The British are the most sophisticated warmongers in the history of the world. Against this background, it is worth developing a comprehensive strategy for creating counter-threats in the North-West, including directly for Great Britain, and being prepared at any moment for an exponential increase in threats and provocations in the Baltic.
