Live Conflict Ukraine-Russia War

ERAM is a "low cost" cruise missile that USA created specifically for Ukraine. It's compatible with Ukraine's F-16s and has a reported maximum range of 450km. The first units are expected to be delieverd within the next 6 weeks.

Let’s hope the US will allow Ukraine to use those missiles to hit inside Russia, and target things like oil refineries, which is vital for destroying Russia’s economy, which is the only way to bring an end to the war.

According to reputable French publication Le Monde, France is in talks with Ukraine to double the number of Mirage-2000F5 fighter jets it will send to Ukraine, from 10 to 20. The increase to 20 would allow Ukraine to field an entire squadron of the jets, a much needed development as Ukraine looks to replace it's extremely tired Mig-29 and Su-27 fighter jets with Western upgrades. I'll keep following the story to see if France makes an official announcement in the coming weeks.

Ideally, Ukraine would like to field 3 squadrons of F-16s, with aircraft held in reserve and training units kept in foreign locations, and 1 squadron of Mirage-2000F5s. That would give them approximately 80 upgraded fighter jets to support what's left of it's Soviet fleet, with roughly 20 held in reserve or held back for training.

sadly, they are not faster then ATACMs that was used to hit Russia and they have to be air launched. I heard only F-16s can use them to.

An episode of the battle of the Ukrainian Leopard 2A4 tank, from the 155th mechanized brigade of the Ukrainian army. In the video, the Leopard 2A4 tank is looking for a Russian sabotage group in the city of Krasnoarmeysk in the Donetsk region and is firing at buildings. The second part of the video is the defeat of Russian FPV drones, presumably of the same Ukrainian Leopard 2A4 tank. As a result of the drone attacks, the Ukrainian Leopard 2A4 tank was destroyed.

Bad reconnaissance on Russia's part if it says the launchers were near the village of lyubitskoye which shows me Kursk if it got that close.


Russians are fighting like Ukrainians now.


New Law has passed in Ukraine leaving a time window for the 18-22 year olds to leave probably before they set the final mobilization law for draft age.
