I have said from the beginning of this invasion, way back in 2022 that F-16's / "Vipers" would be a huge help to the UAF as it's an excellent system for this kind of warfare, but I will say that I'm a little lost as to why it's taken so long to do so as they would have saved countless lives with their overall combat capabilities.

I fully understand that the Pilots & Servicing / Maintenance Crews need to be trained up on them ect BUT what I don't get is these politicians debating about shit for so long but at the same time send them hundreds of millions, billions even for shells / mobile anti air systems / GPS guided systems ect, when they could have gotten "Vipers" in there a lot quicker to do the job rather than all that other military systems saving a shit ton of money & lives as it would have been a lot more practical & more cost effective to do so, hence why I kept reiterating the fact that 16's should be deployed to get this shit sorted out real quick as this fuck head poo tin would get a good taste of the overall might that they bring to the theater & with a bit of luck shit himself, again I might add, not by falling down the stairs this time, but by showing him a small fraction of the combined might of the countries that support Ukraine without invoking the Article 5 Agreement under the NATO Aliance because of the atrocities that are happening in Ukraine under his rule & withdraw his troops, or what's left of them & rebuild what's left of his country & it's economy, that's if he really gave a fuck about them but from what we are seeing day in day out is self-explanatory, he doesn't give a shit about them such is his Pride Factor.

What a great way to destroy your country, by GREED !

Rumor has it that Gerasimov might be dead.

Was Putin's Top General Gerasimov Killed in Crimea Attack? What We Know
Jan 05, 2024 at 6:25 AM EST

Rumors are circulating that Russia's top general, Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov, was killed in an attack on annexed Crimea by Ukrainian forces on Thursday.

Social media users began questioning the whereabouts of the Russian general after Ukraine said it had struck a Russian military command post near Sevastopol and a military unit near the city of Yevpatoria, in separate strikes on the Black Sea peninsula, which was annexed by Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2014.

Ukrainian Air Force Commander Mykola Oleshchuk thanked the pilots and "everyone who planned the operation for perfect combat work" in a message on Telegram.

Russia said its air defenses shot down 10 guided missiles over Crimea, and that it had prevented an attempt by Ukraine's forces to carry out a "terrorist attack." Russia's defense ministry said it also intercepted 36 Ukrainian drones over the peninsula.

The unverified rumor of Gerasimov's death appears to have begun circulating after X (formerly Twitter) user WarVehicleTracker, which tracks vehicles and losses in Ukraine, shared an image purporting to show a message published by a Russian Telegram channel called "Ordinary Tsarism," which has more than 34,000 subscribers.

Gerasimov died?" wrote WarVehicleTracker.

The message in the image read: "According to preliminary data, Valrey Gerasimov, who was in a command post near Sevastopol at the time of the attack, was killed in the attack on Crimea."

WarVehicleTracker's post has been viewed more than 60,000 times at the time of writing, and prompted hundreds of social media users to question whether Gerasimov had been killed in Crimea.

A Newsweek search found that the message purportedly published by the "Ordinary Tsarism" channel didn't exist at the time of writing. It isn't clear if the message was deleted, or if it was fabricated by social media users. Newsweek has emailed the author behind the channel for further clarification.

The X user WarVehicleTracker told Newsweek they first saw the image and message on social platform Discord.

Questions asked by X users as rumors swirled include: "Is Gerasimov dead?"; "What happened to Gerasimov?"; "Did they off Gerasimov?"; "Gerasimov died?"; "Did Ukraine really kill Gerasimov?"; and "Gerasimov, where are you?".

"Until Russia proves that Gerasimov is alive, we should just assume he is dead," one X user wrote.

Another added: "Not holding my breath but if Gerasimov got iced in the Crimea swarm, that would be... eventful."

Gerasimov's Wikipedia page was also temporarily edited to state that he had died on January 4, the day of the Crimea attack.

There is no concrete evidence to suggest that Gerasimov has been killed, nor is there evidence that Gerasimov was in Crimea at the time of the attack. The Kremlin hasn't commented on the rumors, and Newsweek has contacted Russia's Defense Ministry via email for comment.

The New York Times reported in December 2022 that Ukrainian authorities attempted to assassinate Gerasimov as he visited the front lines in Ukraine.

1. "A Ukrainian ground drone with the ability to install 6 TM-62 anti-tank mines at once.

In theory, even one such drone can mine a fairly decent area of territory through which the enemy could potentially attack in a few passes."

2. "Very simple and effective"

Something fake floating around right now.

Actual story.

100% Fake. No insignia on the shoulders to identify the country or wing that she's a part of.

Those gloves are not right as they are quite loose fitting & would be a hindrance to & for selecting different settings on the various computer systems that make up the aircrafts capabilities as the finger looks like it can still move around in the glove & as such, IMO, I believe that these are just hand warmers.

It also is apparent to me that there's no creases in her perfectly pressed flight suit & you usually do a barrel roll to make sure that your properly strapped into the seat so that under BCM (Basic Combat Maneuvers) you don't smash your lid (Helmet) into the aircraft canopy when you invert the aircraft in a high speed engagement.

Also, the lid looks like it doesn't fit her properly & each lid is specifically made for each pilot that's attached to a fully operational wing even to the point of your eyeline correctly linking up with the HUD (Heads Up Display) for premium target acquisition as if it's rolling all around your head it feels like a very loose dead weight that just pushes from up & down, side to side ect & is a huge strain on the neck so many tell tail signs that it's a fake job to suggest that she's fully certified to fly the "Viper" & not only certified, but fully trained up for combat & part of a wing.
This is nothing more than a publicity stunt to promote her upcoming beauty pageant.

Canada handed over 1,000 armored vehicles to Ukraine

Senator armored vehicles are characterized by high resistance to fire from small arms, a reinforced bottom, the possibility of installing a turret system and adaptation to specific tasks.

These vehicles come in two versions: the classic wheeled armored personnel carrier and the reinforced MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) anti-mine vehicle. The purchase of these machines is paid through Canada and the USA.
