No other details, but this Russian report is all I have at the moment, and he has posted stuff that is very incorrect at times. Don't know when the satellite photo was taken, but I would not be keeping the Su-24's packed together in revetments like that.
About the strike on the airfield near Starokonstantinov, Khmelnitsky region The targets of today's nightly massive strike were many objects of the Ukrainian Air Force . At the moment, confirming data have been received about the hit of two cruise missiles and several attack drones "Geran-2" on the airfield near the town of Starokonstantinov. Coordinates: 49.746721, 27.268683 According to reports, as a result of the strike, two Su-24M fighters, a maintenance hangar and a fuel depot were damaged / destroyed, and damage to the runway was also reported. In addition, local residents report a strong fire at the airfield, which is still accompanied by smoldering fuel and lubricants, as well as multiple explosions that sounded after the impact  |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Prime:  Memorial Day is a national Day of Remembrance, celebrated annually on the last Monday of May. This day is dedicated to the memory of American servicemen who have died in all wars and armed conflicts in which the United States has ever participated. The tradition of celebrating this day was born after the American Civil War and was originally dedicated to the Northern soldiers who died in this war. After the First World War, soldiers who died in other military conflicts began to be remembered on this day. Since 1971, Memorial Day has officially become a US national holiday. Americans visit cemeteries and war memorials on this day. The US flag is at half-mast until 12 o'clock local time. Many Americans consider it the actual start of summer. Traditionally, it is accompanied by family events, picnics and sports events. A similar American holiday is Veterans Day, celebrated on November 11. This day is dedicated to all veterans, both living and dead. P.S. in the USA there is an old saying - every peaceful day is Veteran's Day and Memorial Day.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By stone-age: It seems like russia has always had the tactic of telling their own soldiers they definitely are going to die if they don't move forward and try to kill the enemy. More and more and more cannon fodder until they win. It doesn't matter if they are trained. Cannon fodder being managed by corrupt nationalists/communists. They just destroy everything in front of them until they can flood the enemy with enough cannon fodder to win. I agree and this is a special "quality" that Russia possesses. A society's ability to motivate its population to die en mass IS strategic asset and threat they posses. Reminds me of red ants...Russia had proven they can do it to a large extent. No other Western country could do this without an immediate coup or revolution. But it's a double edges sword. They cannot afford to have too many disaffected, abused, armed militias setting in trenches talking and complaining and scheming (1917). And unlike in WWII or WWI manpower is not enough today. They have to be motivated, skilled, and equipped for maneuver warfare otherwise they just sit in a trench wondering if it will be by HIMARS, 155MM, or a drone and NEVER see an enemy soldier... |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Shadyman: Russia is running out of time, demographics are working against them. Plus, all their young smart tech people are getting out if they can. Russia can keep on burning through all the outlying provinces young people. But there are rumblings out there from the mothers and wives that they are taking the brunt of the punishment of Putin’s War. And Putin’s government is doing everything to protect the middle class that lives around Moscow and St. Pete. Putin is waiting and hoping Trump will win the election so he can manipulate him into cutting off help to Ukraine and long term, Europe and NATO. Russia is fucked for the long term. Thet cannot abuse their populations like this (not to mention their neighbors who are now rabidly hostile and militarized against them) and there will be consequences eventually. I seriously doubt that Putin considers Trump as a good thing despite Trumps (unrealistic) words of a negotiated peace. Looking at both Xiden (who has already received millions from Russian oligarchs through Hunter and has a constant stream of escalation fear piss running down his leg) and Trump (who always tries to smooth talk adversaries but was the FIRST to send lethal aid to Ukraine, dropped the hammer on Wagners in Syria and fired Tomahawks over desert) and compare the two and tell me Xiden is the hawk that Putin should fear. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By BillofRights: They are still eliminating 400 Russians, and multiple systems, every single day. That’s a lot of attrition. Draftees don’t get turned into effective troops by proximity of the process of osmosis. It just doesn’t work that way. Often, the Opposite is true. Russians are terrible at logistics, and that’s only going to get worse. War is hard, for both sides. You don’t get to randomly decide where and when to do the big breakthrough. The enemy always gets a vote. If the USA lost 400 troops total in a day, there would be Congressional hearing, talks of impeachment and certainly protests. Whatever else we can say about Russia, we cannot say they have a glass jaw. |

That's what I was thinking too. I mean, having to pack them 2-3 to a spot is great from the standpoint of "we've been given lots of planes" but not great when it comes to missile attacks on an airfield, obviously. But, looking at the pic...where the hell else would they park them? Out in the field? On the runway? I don't know how many capable airfields Ukraine actually has or where they're located (possibly too close to the front), and maybe the ones they do have all look like this, a traffic jam of planes. I certainly hope so. But if they can, maybe they should fly some of those to emptier fields. In any event, there could be several explanations for that close-packing. Only one of them is ignorance/stupidity, and considering what I've seen from them in the past, as well as the advisors in theater, I'm going to discount it for now. I'm really hoping it's just "we're full...can we clear out some local mall parking lots?" Slava Ukraini. Heroyam Slava. |

Picked up some noise canceling slim ear muffs that fit under a MICH Hemet or can be used with a FAST high cut, pants, multi-tool and a little pouch for it, and bumpers for the combat shirt elbows. I've got some knee inserts coming in the mail. Most of the gear is from M-Tac that also has a store in town. Probably the best stuff made in Ukraine. Also got a rain cover for the backpack last week. Thanks to everyone that has helped me out. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/526834/IMG_20230529_153527_jpg-2833148.JPG I really like the ear muffs. There's a microphone in each muff that actually helps me to hear better, and closes when the noise level increases. I'm pretty sure I have the same muffs. And I agree with everything you said about them. The fact that they hear directionaly is pretty amazing. |

I saw all the posts debating calling the Russians "orcs" a few pages ago.
Led Zeppelin kinda started it in 1971: "The Battle of Evermore" is a Middle-Earth-themed analogy about WWIII:  Led Zeppelin- The Battle of Evermore (Lyrics) ETA: See this article also. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Prime: Pro-Ukrainian source: On the night of May 29, the Russian army struck a military facility in the Khmelnytskyi region, disabling 5 aircraft. https://t.me/killpukin/15203 Beat- TG gossip says Su-24s Makes sense. The Ukes have turned some of their Su24s into Storm Shadow launch platforms. It had to really piss the Orcs off when the Ukes turned a bunch of obsolescent fighter/bombers into cruise missile launch platforms. |
