Is UK stepping up their game due to the partisan fuckery in the US?

Or are they just pulling thier weight?

 

There's an upcoming election, the party in power has extensively fucked up the country and is far behind in the polls, and supporting Ukraine is about the one thing they can/will do that's popular with the electorate. There may be more to it than that but I don't think so.

The Russians are pulling the barrels off of old towed artillery pieces from storage to put on self propelled artillery.

Thanks to a huge consignment of shells from North Korea, Russian forces in Ukraine are flush with artillery ammunition. What gunners don’t have in abundance is howitzer barrels. @forbes #ukraine https://t.co/mVoqImFVIY

We lost around 420 Lt. Colonels in 10 years of Vietnam, with almost half (187) being Air Force (pilots shot down).

Russia has lost 200 in less than two years, with a fraction of the overall numbers of troops serving in Ukraine than we had in Vietnam - in total, we had 2.7 million American who served in Vietnam, with a peak of 560,000 in 1969 - Russia hasn't even come close to 500,000 in Ukraine.

Every third or fourth day a Russian Lieutenant Colonel is killed in Ukraine.Ukrainian armed forces have eliminated at least 200 Lieutenant Colonels since the beginning of the Russian invasion on 24 February 2022.

OPINION: Where is General Gerasimov and Why Does it Matter?

Quote

“After a series of Ukrainian missile strikes in Crimea, the continued silence from the Kremlin is potentially telling. Is Putin worried that Kyiv is actively targeting his high command?”

Quote

It has been a week since Ukraine conducted two deep fire missile strikes against Russian targets in Crimea on January 5th. British Storm Shadow and French SCALP cruise missiles were used to strike a command post near Sevastopol and a radar station in Uyutne near the coastal western city of Yevpatoria.

Visegrád 24 reported shortly afterwards that 23 Russian troops were killed in the Ukrainian attack on the Russian airbase in Saky, Crimea. Nine were purported to be special forces – and five “high-ranking commanders.”

Quote

Soon thereafter rumors quickly began circulating that one of those high-ranking commanders was Russian General Valery Gerasimov. WarVehicleTracker tweeted an image from the Telegram channel known as “Ordinary Tsarism” that suggested Russian President Vladimir Putin’s theater commander had been “in a command post near Sevastopol at the time of the attack.”

Quote

It is doubtful that he is dead. Indeed, on January 6th, former deputy chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ General Staff, Lieutenant General Ihor Romanenko warned “against believing rumors about the elimination of the head of the Russian General Staff, Valery Gerasimov, in an interview with Radio NV.”

Yet Gerasimov’s continued absence from the public stage and Moscow’s ‘radio silence’ to date on his status are interesting. Gerasimov was last seen in public was December 29th, presenting awards to “military personnel who distinguished themselves during the liberation of Marinka' in occupied Donetsk region, Ukraine.”

twitters think russia lost some important airplanes

 

UPDATE: The IL-22 in question appears to have been the M variant rather than the PP variant. IL-22M is the type of Mission Control plane that Prigozhin's Wagner PMC shot down during the 'March on Moscow' in Russia. Both the A-50 AWACS and the IL-22M are mission critical assets.

 

UPDATE: Russian sources claim the IL-22M was hit but managed to make an emergency landing. Two crew members injured. Deafening silence on the fate of the A-50 AWACS behemoth from the Russian side.

 

Some Russians now claim the IL-22M was hit by Russia's own air defense by mistake. Since the plane managed to land afterward and it's rather difficult to imagine the aircraft would've survived a PATRIOT missile hit, this is plausible.

What could be behind this uptick in "friendly" fire on Russian aircraft? Is hacking possible? Sabotage, lack of radar or other equipment due to attrition, or an increase in incompetence?

They’ve lost around 3,400 officers since Feb of 2022.  That’s a lot of institutional knowledge when you factor in that Russian junior officers fill in roles that NCOs do in the West.

And, I believe Russian air defense doctrine is heavily reliant on command and control identifying and vectoring to targets.  Take out that command and control and they become error-prone.

Yes, and they treat their air operations as more like flying artillery than owning the sky.  There is also a major skill gap between Russian and Western pilots; the Russians just don’t fly as much and don’t practice complex air operations.  They steer their jets as onesies or twosies.

What we see here is the picture from a 500 USD drone with an RPG-7 warhead (another 50 USD). This is all what you need to smash more than a dozen Russians, their gear and their truck. Another Russian meat wave turned to a close to 100% casualty rate. Source:…— (((Tendar))) (@Tendar)
First image of the damaged IL-22M appeared. It was able to land in Anapa but the tail is heavily damaged.

 

Looks more like blast fragmentation. PAC-2 interceptors uses such warheads.

The downing of the A-50 was apparently the first ever destruction of a long-range airborne early warning aircraft in history.

https://news.yahoo.com/ukraine-achieves-world-first-downing-150400964.html

The destruction of a Russian A-50 in the skies over the Sea of Azov on Jan. 14 was the first-ever documented downing of an airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft in history, Ukrainian military news outlet Defense Express reported on Jan. 15.

Previously, downing AEW&C aircraft was considered to be highly implausible, since these sorts of planes typically avoid the front lines and stay as far away as possible from the adversary’s air defense zone. They are also usually protected by an escort, and their radar capabilities allow them to spot any incoming threats long before they materialize.

"No one in history has ever shot down a long-range radar detection aircraft, and the Ukrainian Armed Forces have once again accomplished what was considered impossible and has never been done before," Defense Express writes.

The downing of the Russian A-50

Media reports that the Ukrainian military had shot down a Russian A-50 AEW&C aircraft, as well as an Il-22M11 airborne command post over the Sea of Azov began to surface on Jan. 14.

The two planes were on duty near Strilkove, Kherson Oblast, and were downed around 9:00 p.m. EET on Jan. 14, prompting an emergency landing in the Russian town of Anapa. The crew urgently requested evacuation and sought assistance from emergency services.

It was later revealed that Ukrainian Air Forces downed the A-50 near Kyrylivka, Zaporizhzhya Oblast.

"This is for the Dnipro! Burn in hell, devils!" the Air Force commander Mykola Oleshchuk said on Telegram on Jan. 15.

The Fighterbomber Telegram channel, allegedly run by Captain Ilya Tumanov of the Russian Armed Forces, reported casualties among the pilots of the downed A-50, while claiming the damaged Il-22M11 successfully made an emergency landing.

The Kremlin has refused to comment on the situation.

Anti-tank/shaped charge/ mortar shells (or anti-tank hand grenades).  They’ll use normal hand grenades against troops or soft-sided vehicles but mortars/anti-tank/shaped charges against armor.  60mm or 80mm  

In this instance they hit the engine deck which was not as armored (being in the back and behind the turret) and it may even be the air intake area they hit which is the most vulnerable.  Those shaped charged mortars/hand grenades can also probably generate enough power to make it into the fuel tanks and set them off (and they have ammo up against the fuel tanks).

We waited until the Houthi crossed a clear line, after we told everybody what would happen in advance.  We gave them plenty of slack.  If it’s actually the IRGC and it was actually aimed at the consulate, then the gloves will come off.  

The administration can’t be seen as weak on this either, for a lot of reasons.  

If it was IRGC aiming at the consulate, at the least, we will hit Iranian units/infrastructure within Syria.  Probably target some high level folks.

The gloves ain’t coming off. The response will be targeted and measured. We don’t want to be seen as escalating considering the current environment. If IRGC really did strike our consulate, it means the Anti-Israel crowd are trying to widen the affair to lessen our support.
