Re: Whiskey's Briefing Room II
"Pentagon Plans to Begin Training Ukrainian Pilots on F-16s in U.S. The decision (https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/24/w...-training.html) is a shift from last week, when a U.S. official said the pilots could be trained in the United States if European training programs reached capacity. The pilots will first receive English language training in Texas and then begin months of flight training in Arizona, said the U.S. official who addressed the issue on Thursday, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss future training plans." Note the article link is behind a paywall.  "Having spent less than 3% of annual U.S. military budget in security assistance, Ukraine managed to cut Russia’s combat capacity in half, U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said at a press conference in Kyiv on Aug. 23. At the press conference, Graham highlighted that the United States had spent less than 3% of its annual military budget to aid Ukraine in its war against Russia. He noted that the Ukrainian Defense Forces "have destroyed half of the Russian army." "This is the best investment for American security ever; Ukraine is a fantastic partner — we have not seen such a partner since Churchill," the senator said. Additionally, he pointed out that U.S. intelligence had made an error ahead of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, greatly overestimating the strength of the Russian army. “When the Russian invasion began, we were told that Kyiv would fall in four days, and the country — in three weeks,” Graham adds."

Gosh. US not getting a whole lot of recognition in vid #3. Nor for its significant contributions to NATO for the past 70 or so years…

Re: Whiskey's Briefing Room II
Wow, this is kind of big. "Russian Volunteer Corps (formation of Russian citizens fighting for Ukraine) appealed to fighters of Wagner Group: "...Apparently, yesterday your commanders and the founding father were cynically executed... Therefore now you have a difficult but quite logical choice: either to become in the stall of the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation to serve the murderers of your commanders, or to preserve your honour and take revenge on their executioners by switching to the side of Ukraine. If you have not committed war crimes on the territory of Ukraine, then we suggest you to join our ranks and first finish this bloody meat grinder of the so-called "SVO", and then march to Moscow again, but this time not to stop 200km from the Moscow Ring Road, but to reach the end! In case you voluntarily switch to the side of Ukraine, the AFU and the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine will guarantee you safety and decent conditions!"" #rdkfrl

"After the war, we will have several million veterans, so we need to help them get used to civilian life and give them opportunities for self-realization. Ukraine's past experience shows we have not coped well with this task."

Re: Whiskey's Briefing Room II
"The first photo of the mobile anti-aircraft missile complex 2K12M2 "Kub-M2" , which was handed over to us by the Czech Republic. In general, the Czech Republic promised to give us two batteries of such systems."  "67 separate mechanized brigade (DUK PS) received its own battle flag."    I'm 95% sure this is mostly training footage. "Nice video from 4th Tank Brigade , which recently changed its armband. In the footage, it is nice to see Ukrainian T-64BV"

Re: Whiskey's Briefing Room II
"A Russian citizen has been arrested in Finland on the grounds of a request from Ukraine and preparations for his extradition are under way. The Office of the Prosecutor General of Finland carried out the detention at the request of the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU). Media report that the name of the detainee has not been disclosed, but according to some sources it is Yan Petrovsky. According to the investigation, in 2014, Jan Petrovsky took part in combat clashes on Ukrainian territory as part of the Rusich group, which was characterised as a "Diversion and Assault Reconnaissance Group". He was indicted in 2016. At the moment, the process of preparing documents for his extradition is underway."  ▶"Today Lukashenko made a statement about Prigozhin: "As for this issue, my duty does not include providing security to Prigozhin. Second, I have never had a conversation in such a manner. Third, it's important to mention: the issue of security was raised by us twice. The first time was when I contacted him by phone while they were moving towards Moscow. I asked, "Zhenya, do you realise that you could endanger a lot of people's lives, including your own?" He, taken in the excitement of fighting ( just from the frontlines), replied, "Even if it leads to my death, I am ready." I told him, "Understood, I'll send you a rope and a bar of soap." But he refused, "No, I don't want that outcome. I'll be a hero." That was the nature of our first conversation. The second time he came to see me together with Dima Utkin. I warned them both categorically: 'Guys, watch out' " Lukashenko claims he never gave security guarantees to Prigozhin. However, he expressed the opposite position in a video recorded two months ago." ▶"Putler's "Second Army" is armed to the teeth: Soviet tanks "Joseph Stalin" are used So, the “dinosaur” of weapons progress arrived at the front - the IS-8 tank (aka T-10), which was produced from 1954 to 1966."

♪ ♫ Meanwhile... ♫ ♪ ■ In what looks like Monty Python's Flying Circus 2 UA MIGs collided. If you go to their profile, scroll down on their media and you see diagrams of dogfight maneuvers that definitely have me wanting to know more about how the collision occurred.     |
