Пилоты ВСУ совершили первые вылеты на F-16, пишут СМИTelegraph: Ukraine flew F-16 sorties, the fighters were used as air defense
MOSCOW, July 31 — RIA Novosti. The Ukrainian pilots made the first flights on the F-16, writes the British newspaper Telegraph.
"Ukraine has completed its first combat missions on the F-16," the publication says.
According to media reports, the fighters have so far been used as "air defense equipment." As the newspaper notes, the official representative of the Ukrainian Air Force did not deny this.
Earlier on Wednesday, the Bloomberg news agency reported, citing sources, that the first "small" batch of American F-16 fighters transferred by NATO countries had arrived in Ukraine.

The military said that they managed to shoot down the Ukrainian drone Baba Yaga using unusual tactics. They showed footage of a downed drone.
For bait, a camouflaged burnt-out car was installed in the forest, inside which trench candles were placed, creating the effect of a heated engine.
Arrows with night vision devices were placed next to the bait. As the drone approached, it was shot down by accurate fire.

Today it became known that a Ukrainian drone managed to shoot down a Russian Guard Mi-8 helicopter during takeoff. This was reported by the military channel Voivode Broadcasts.
As the author of the channel clarifies, the attack occurred at a considerable distance from the line of contact. Yesterday, information was already received about attempts by Ukrainian forces to use drones to attack Russian army aircraft and, unfortunately, today these attempts have been successful.
"The Russian Guards Eight was caught at the moment of takeoff," the message says.
There have been no official statements on this matter from the Russian Defense Ministry so far.
In the absence of further information, this photo would have been taken in Lviv, this city is almost on the border with Poland and very far from the front, so there is a possibility that they are taking off from NATO airports at the moment.News on the aviation topic.
I do not know if I should believe the British press, but as they say, for what I bought, for that I sold it. We are starting to count how much they fly by and I wonder who will get the prize money for the first downed F-16.

It was interesting to deal with the "Baba Yaga". For those who do not know, Baba Yaga is a traditional character of Russian folk tales. She is a harmful old witch who does various nasty things in different fairy tales. Among his other unusual abilities, Baba Yaga can fly. Due to the similarity of the parameters (flying muck), large drones capable of carrying and dropping large charges, such as mortar mines, are called Baba Yaga at the front.

Ukrops also does something. Several times there were videos of attempts to hit by a kamikaze drone on a helicopter in flight. It was all unsuccessful, but they managed to sneak up on the helicopter taking off.

Новости по авиационной теме.
Я не знаю стоит ли верить британской прессе, но как говорится, за что купил- за то и продал. Начинаем отсчет сколько они пролетают и еще интересно кто получит призовые деньги за первый сбитый F-16. Интересно получилось расправиться с "Бабой Ягой". Для тех, кто не знает, Баба Яга это традиционный персонаж русских народных сказок. Представляет из себя вредную старуху-колдунью, которая в разных сказках творит разные гадости. Среди прочих своих необычных способностей Баба Яга умеет летать. Из-за схожести параметров (летающая гадость), на фронте Бабой Ягой называют большие дроны, способные переносить и сбрасывать большие заряды, например минометные мины.
У укропов тоже кое-что получается. Несколько раз попадались видео с попытками попасть дроном-камикадзе по вертолету в полете. Все это было неудачно, но вот у них получилось подкрасться к взлетающему вертолету.
Yes, it's not just Lviv anymore. They write here that these planes were spotted over the DPR. It's strange that they didn't shoot it down.In the absence of further information, this photo would have been taken in Lviv, this city is almost on the border with Poland and very far from the front, so there is a possibility that they are taking off from NATO airports at the moment.
Два истребителя F-16 замечены над ДНРTwo F-16 fighter jets spotted over the DPR
Russian military Telegram channels reported the appearance of two F-16 fighter jets over the territory of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR). According to the information provided by the channel "Archangel of Spetsnaz Z", the fighters were detected by the calculation of the anti-aircraft missile system.
According to the channel, the planes do not take off and land from Ukrainian airfields. This was allegedly confirmed by Russian radar stations (radars). It is assumed that F-16 fighters take off from Baltic airfields and fly to the line of contact over the DPR.
It is reported that the F-16s carry Storm Shadow missiles on board, as well as air-to-air missiles for their own cover:
- AIM-120 is a radio command, active, inertial long—range missile up to 180 km;
- AIM-7 is a radar—guided, semi-active missile with a range of up to 35 km;
- AIM-9 is a semi—active missile for close air combat with a range of up to 10 km.
The appearance of these fighters has caused concern among the Russian military. These events emphasize that Kiev almost immediately threw the planes received from the West into battle.

So New Guinea is winning a land war against Australia? You really can’t make this stuff up, can you?Stellar research fellas, but where or what is "Ukraine" after all??
Belousov called Austin (which is in itself unusual) about a Ukrainian terror plot.
A Mysterious Plot Prompts a Rare Call From Russia to the Pentagon
Russia’s defense minister said he needed to talk to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin about an alleged Ukrainian operation. What happened next remains murky.www.nytimes.com
What kind of heinous crap was Ukraine planning (if we take this article at face value)? It is suggesting that the US was uninvolved, though it seems more likely that one or more factions probably were. I've gotten the impression that some of the more conventional elements which make up the US military are really unhappy with some of the things that have been carried out by Ukraine with their resources. Part of that is probably because they aren't fully informed about everything that is going on, and the potential for escalation.
According to the Russian side, the Ukrainian special services were preparing an attack in Russia on "Navy Day" on July 28, when Vladimir Putin and the head of the Ministry of Defense Andriy Belousov were speaking at the parade in St. Petersburg.
Well, why is that? That's what the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs is talking about.The 'Russian side' didn't actually say that, and the article doesn't provide any link to anything that identifies that specific plan.

The special services of Ukraine were preparing an assassination attempt on Russian President Vladimir Putin and the head of the country's Defense Ministry, Andrei Belousov, at the Navy Day parade in St. Petersburg.
According to the deputy head of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Sergei Ryabkov, whose words were broadcast on the Rossiya TV channel, a few days before the parade, Belousov contacted the head of the US Defense Ministry, Lloyd Austin, by phone and urged him to convince Kiev to abandon its plans.
В Киеве прогремело не менее 5 взрывовAt least 5 explosions occurred in Kiev
At least five powerful explosions occurred on the territory of Kiev at night. According to unconfirmed information provided by Brief journalists, the strikes could have been carried out not by Russian Iskanders, but by North Korean KN-23 or KN-24 missiles.
Ukrainian information resources report that the explosions were extremely powerful and, according to preliminary data, proved to be very effective. However, at the moment there is no detailed information about the consequences of the attacks and the scale of the destruction.
Kiev's air defense systems were actively working at the time of the attack, trying to intercept missiles and minimize damage. Despite the efforts of the air defense, some missiles reached their targets, which caused significant destruction.
У Украины закончились лётчики для обучения на F-16Ukraine has run out of pilots to train on the F-16
Ukraine is facing a serious problem: despite the presence of 69 F-16 fighters ready for delivery from partner countries, the aircraft remain without a crew due to a shortage of pilots. The Ukrainian Air Force has begun an unofficial recruitment of pilots for these aircraft, which underscores the country's urgent need for qualified personnel.
The situation in the Ukrainian Air Force indicates a significant shortage of trained pilots. According to analysts, in the near future, the shortage of pilots will be filled by foreign mercenaries. Earlier it was reported about the readiness of pilots from other countries to take part in combat operations on the side of Ukraine. This may be a temporary solution that allows you to use the potential of Western fighters.
