The death road for Russian forces in the Kharkiv region. The number of destroyed equipment is increasing, and the cemetery for Russian soldiers is expanding on a daily basis.

Canada plans to commit over 500 million CAD ($360 million) in additional military assistance to Ukraine this year.Funds will reportedly primarily go to the NATO-led effort to provide Ukraine long-term military support.Canada will also expand its training of Ukrainian pilots.

That is great if we are going to give them F/A-18's as well or if Canada is just doing the basic pilot training.

After the attack on the Okhmatdyt children's hospital, a Russian pilot contacted Ukrainian military intelligence and passed on data that helped identify 30 commanders of the Russian heavy bomber division, according to sources of @pravda_eng in Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate.

He wrote that he was shocked by the attack on the children's hospital, so he decided to hand over to the Ukrainian side documents related to the activities of his military unit, as well as private photos of the command staff of the 22nd Heavy Bombing Aviation Division.

The array of information includes documents from the personnel files of senior officers, personal data of Russian military personnel and their families, etc.

Great Britain did NOT give permission to use Storm Shadow missiles deep into the territory of russia, — The Telegraph

The new Prime Minister Keir Starmer said that his policy has not changed on this issue. But he clarified that there is permission to attack Crimea. 

But strikes against the russian Federation, in his opinion, can lead to escalation.

The most disgusting words in the last 28 months: escalation, condemnation.

Have any of the aid packages have we sent any of the GBU series of bombs?  I read that the F16 platform can support GBU 31 and 38 in concert with JDAMS system.  These are in the same family as other bunker buster weapons, but I'm not entirely clear if they are exactly the same thing. 

My basic thought is to make underground unsafe for the Russians, bomb them out of the concrete holes, and then set them on fire with napalm.  (I know we haven't green-lit napalm).  I'm just hoping these are the sort of surprises they will get in the very near future.

Exactly.  Why are WE the ones worried about escalating?  We are the ones who could drop the hammer, and Putin has already shown himself to be a limp dick when it comes to his "red lines."  Fuck him up already.  Let's end this shit.

Manpower improving. Now AD appears to be the biggest issue.

So word is that the Ukrainian F16s have been spotted by Russians over Odessa, with the thought being that they are being flown out of Romania.  This is great news for the Southern front and makes sense because they are protected by being at a NATO airfield.  Not so great, I can't see how they could possibly be used in the Northern front like this.

F16s being used in the north is probably never going to make sense due to the expansive Russia border and layered AD on the Russian side of the border.  
That is what makes the Crimea such an appealing target environment. All the attack vectors come over water and there really isn’t a AD strategy that works to protect the major points of interest due to geography. In the north, the F16s would be flying into a U that has overlapping AD systems. In the Crimea, the geography is such that it is the complete opposite. You instead are dealing with an attack vector that you come in at a point and so there is a very limited amount of ADs.

As it seems like 70-80% of the radar and AD facilities taken out lately are either in or near Crimea, it does seem like they are softening the area up for some major sorties. 

I know I may be in the minority here, but I like the idea of large trenches filled to the brim with Russians saying “hi” to F-16s carrying napalm.   if you don’t wanna die a horrible death by fire then don’t go to Ukraine and kill and rape the locals and bomb children’s hospitals. Your choice.

 I would limit napalm use to Ukrainian territory, with a clear message being if you go home, you’ll live, if you stay here, you’ll fry.
