F-16 FORCE WILL BE EXHAUSTED BY WARS END The amount of Ukrainian F-16's, already in their second life and many taken out of retirement is slowly decreasing and they're literally wearing out. It's a high maintenance machine on a good day taking around 9-11 hours maintenance work per flight hour.

UKRAINE INFLICTS MORE PAIN ON RUSSIA The largest Wildberries to date at 190,000m2 went up in flames and another oil refinery joined it. The 40 day campaign - largely a PR stunt title - was never going to end and why should it? Russian oil refinery capacity is apparently at its lowest this century.

TATYANA KIM OWNER OF WILDBERRIES TWITTER RANT I don't think I have seen anyone in a CEO role make.auch a dreadful statement and it would break terms of service to publish it here. She in somewhat less hysterical words here, said that everyone in Ukraine will die and be trodden into the ground, the

RUSSIAN BUSINESS DEFIES GOVERNMENT Big business of every stripe is defying government demands to launch a major round of investments to stimulate the economy. Instead they're slashing costs, jobs, purchasing, and unprofitable lines and locations. High costs, low demand and shrinking profitability

RUSSIA PREPARES AVIATION CAMPAIGN AGAINST FORTRESS BELT An increased reliance on glide bombs is a marked difference over last years offensive. The attacks on the fortress belt are increasing in preperation for an autumn offensive. The Russians beleive this is their opportunity to make a

CHANNEL NEWS Good morning. After a long period sorting my father’s estate out (11 months almost to the day), I am now immersed in moving our entire lives six miles up the road. There’s a vast amount to do over the next month from moving classic cars to every book we own (2,516 of them) it’s the

TODAY IS DAY 40 OF UKRAINE’S PRESSURE CAMPAIGN So here we are - 40 days of Ukraines campaign two more WILDBERRIES warehouses burnt down. They’ve been a remarkable 40 days but they have failed to change Putin’s mind even if they it’s been tough for your average Russian as the war came home. Ukraine

RUSSIAN GENERAL SURVIVES ASSASINATION An IED detonated in central Moscow on August 1, potentially targeting Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS) Commander Colonel General Alexander Chayko. He appears to have survived but his son in law died and his daughter suffered a severe head injury.

TRUMP VACILLATING OVER IRAN AGAIN… Yet another cancelled run of strikes subject to a rapid deal, you know the kind of deal Iran knows nothing about but Trump says is imminent. It seems yet again, with a major underestimate on Iranian capabilities- unquestionably aided by China - the impact of their

THE GRIM REALITY OF RUSSIAN FUEL SHORTAGES Security police and OMON units are said to have been deployed widely at petrol stations in key areas, fully equipped in armour and guns. The number of incidents of violent behaviour have risen so steeply in some cases they’ve edged on a riot. Hours of

RUSSIA USES MORE BALLISTIC MISSILES THAN IT PRODUCES, LOSES MORE MEN IN A MONTH The scale of the ballistic missile strikes on Ukraine has risen sharply as the Russians take advantage of Ukraines lack of anti-ballistic missile defences. Record numbers of Iskanders, Kizhal and S-400 missiles are

THIS FIFA SCANDAL HAS TRUMPS FINGERS ALL OVER IT I have no interest in football at all (no engines, speed or race circuit), but it’s as obvious as daylight that Trump has his podgy little fingers all over it. ‘Have you met Jared, loves soccer, great businessman, married to my baby girl’.There’s no

RUSSIA IS ‘TECHNICALLY BANKRUPT’ Russia over a week ago now, cancelled further sales of government bonds. The banks who have acquiesced in Putin’s policies refuse to buy more debt until the government agrees to pay higher interest rates. It refused. The banks have finally realised they can’t carry

PUTIN MAKES CLAIMS OF MORE ADVANCES… Putin made claims of further advances on the northern and central fronts yesterday in an effort to maintain the fiction that that Russia is still pushing forward. Either he believes it and the army is just lying to him or it’s an overall propaganda exercise to

BOMBS AND SHELLS ARE NO LONGER… The UK needs more 155mm shells and other explosive munitions classed once as ‘bombs’ and is investing rather a lot of money in new factories and suppliers. But we’re not allowed to call them shells or bombs because thats distasteful. From now on they’re ‘energetics’.

TRUMPS POLLING PUTS HIM DOWN AS LOW AS JAN 6th Two polls from CNN and Quinnipac put him around 32% approval. Swathes of GOP voters are disinclined to go to the polls. The economy is his biggest weak point and 74% of all respondents didn’t think he had a way out of the Iran war. The war is a chain

IRAN WAR WORSENS DRAMATICALLY This far from over. The Iranians and their allies attacked American forces in several nations following major American attacks on their coast. Iran used ballistic missiles which surprised the US who assumed they had taken them all out by now. Iran attacked a US owned

WILDBERRIES DESTRUCTION TRIGGER GOVERNMENT ACTION The firm owes some $17.5 billion to state owned VTB bank. Loans it now can’t repay. The destruction has interrupted domestic life in Russia like little else and brought the war home. Thousands of small businesses are losing huge amounts of money

WHY DO SO MANY DOUBT UKRAINIANS ANTI-ARTILLERY CAPABILITIES? Ukraine has been running an anti-artillery campaign almost since the war began. It has now morphed dramatically to a new type of warfare. Originally counter-battery munitions and then HIMARS provided the principle methods of killing the

BIG SUBMARINE NEWS FROM UK & US The UK announced £8 billion on new AUKUS funding for the SSN-X that will be shared with Australia and committed to get the development underway as planned so that as the last Astute Class leaves the yard, the Dreadnought SSBN will cycle through the three slipways.

RUSSIAS ABILITY TO DELIVER GLIDE BOMBS IS DAMAGING Konstantinivka has not yet fallen although Ukrainian forces on the ground say it’s almost impossible to defend. The reason is the glide bombs Russia still manages to deliver in sufficient numbers in support of their infiltration troops. Increasing

THE SU-57 DOWNED BY A HACK Last week the Russians lost one of their rare 5th Gen Su-57 fighters. It fell out of the sky on the outskirts of Moscow. It’s now accepted by both sides - Russian milbloggers accept it - that Ukraine brought it down. Ukraines SBU hacked into Russias elite anti-drone and

PUTIN THE EXPERT RILES MILBLOGGERS As arguments over wether or not a mobilisation is about to take place inside Russia - Medvedev insisting there won’t even be one and its western propaganda- Putin is making himself appear to be expert on the military situation. This is riling up the bloggers who

COMPLEXITY OF IRANS POLITICS MAKES AGREEMENT HARD There are three wings to Iranian politics right now. The IRGC, Civilian Administration and another smaller more militant group made up of a mix of theocrats and political types that are especially militant and don’t want any negotiations. The

Ukraine is at a critical point in the war. On the frontlines there is doubt they can resist a Russian mobilization, but the strategy of bringing Russia down at a strategic level and stopping the mobilization before its effective is their first best hope.
