Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

[Relic]

In the wake of Ukraine penetrating more than 30 kms into Kursk Oblast, they have now struck the Russian Air Force Base in the city of Lipetsk, using a barrage of long range drones. The ammunition storage facility at the base was struck, causing a significant detonation. Apparently secondary detonations are continuing and Russia is evacuating 4 communities surrounding the base. More to follow as the damage to the base becomes clear.

Furthermore, Ukraine has also struck the Metallurgy Plant in the city of Lipetsk with a wave of drones. This enormous facility is Russia's largest producer of steel.

More to follow as video becomes available!

During the night the Russians sent a column of 13 military trucks (Ural and Kamaz) full of Infantry to try to stop the Ukrainian advancement in Kursk. Ukraine located the column and shredded it with M30A1 HIMARS rockets. Dozens of dead infantry are visible in the footage. It's obvious that they didn't see the strikes coming because they never made it out if the backs of their trucks.

Good. Whenever there is talk about the use of nukes, it means the Russians are getting desperate and are no longer confident about the situation on the front. So let’s hope more and more talk about nukes in the following days.

Tactics of the Ukrainian army in the Kursk region of Russia. Mikhail Zvinchuk, the author of the project "Rybar", published a video of the tactics of the Ukrainian army in the Kursk region of Russia. According to him, Ukrainian troops entered in small groups of three to six armored vehicles. Tactics of action, a third of the group pins down a Russian stronghold, others bypass it, entering nearby settlements and organizing ambushes on the roads, mining them.
Russian reinforcements are attacked, after which the Ukrainian group leaves the village. Thus, it seems that many villages are controlled by the Ukrainian army. Which can lead to panic and misinterpretation of the military situation on the ground.
Let me remind you that the Ukrainian army, numbering up to a thousand people, attacked the border area of the Kursk region of Russia on August 6 at 5:30 am. Military operations in the Kursk region continue, the Russian army is pulling in reserves.

The Ukrainian army has published footage of the entry of military units into the Kursk region of Russia on August 6. The video shows a battle with a Russian stronghold and shows destroyed Ukrainian equipment and a military medical service vehicle. The Ukrainian army is bringing up reserves, and the Russian army is doing the same. In the video, you can also see the evacuation of a Ukrainian VAB armored personnel carrier in the Kursk region and the evacuation of an International Maxxpro armored vehicle by an M88A2 Hercules repair and recovery vehicle. In some cases, the evacuation is carried out without hindrance. The Ukrainian army has begun to dig in in the Kursk region and is bringing up heavy equipment. According to experts, if the situation does not change within a week, the fighting will turn into a positional war and will drag on for a long time. Against this background, rumors have emerged about the need for a new wave of mobilization in Russia, officials deny its necessity. But according to experts, the 1,500 km long front line, the entry of Ukrainian troops into the Kursk region and the threat to the Bryansk region indicate that there is a shortage of 700,000 personnel, especially units with drones.

Lol I've been saying this very thread for months. Ukraine would be using their F-16s to fly top cover over their cities, tasked with intercepting Russian drones and cruise missiles. AIM-120B/C and AIM-9M are more than capable of completing said task, as has been proven by firing the same missiles from Ukraine's NASAMs systems.

Gradually, as an influx of pilots and airframes are introduced to the theater, the role of the F-16 will expand. They will be used to fire HARM anti-radiation missiles to their fullest capability in a "wild weasel" capacity. Later still, they'll be used to launch JDAMS against Russian "hard" targets. The intent was never to have F-16 engaging SU-35s in air-to-air dog fights. They can, however, stay in Ukraine's SAM net and act as a significant deterent to Russian CAS aircraft such as SU-25s and KA-52s. AIM-120Cs are MORE THAN CAPABLE of scoring kills on those airframes, while primarily fulfilling airborne air defense duties.

The West is well aware of the capabilities and limitations of the F-16 models that Ukraine has received with the MLU upgrade. These aircraft were never meant to get into standoff engagements with SU-34s and SU-35s. In a conflict between USA and Russia, the Americans would use low vis F-35s and F-22s to take advantage of Russia's awful airborne radars. Their R-37s would be virtually useless because the launch platforms from which they would normally be fired would be destroyed by modern AMRAAMs supported by far superior Western aircraft, with superior radars, that would allow the Americans to engage the SU model aircraft from ranges that far exceeded those of the Russians.

Bro you are literally suggesting that NATO will get involved in the conflict with F-22s and F-35s as your solution to deal with the fact Ukraine has received 35km-50km air to air missiles. Its like you are self-admitting the F-16s given are useless
