Russian military plane bursts into flames and crashes into a lake in region bordering Finland

Law enforcement agencies reported the crash, according to Russian state news
The crash was reported to have happened in Murmansk in Russia's northwest

By CHRIS JEWERS
26 April 2023

A Russian military plane has burst into flames and crashed into a lake in a north-western region of Russia that borders Finland, according to state media.

The military plane crashed in the Murmansk region after catching fire, the TASS news agency said on Wednesday, citing law enforcement agencies.

The MIG-31 fighter jet, said to be on a training flight, 'crashed in an uninhabited area,' TASS quoted the ministry as saying. The pilots ejected, the agency added, and were found 'alive and well' after the drama.

Ukraine Flooded with NATO Military Hardware: Nine New Armoured Brigades Raised, Equipped

NATO allies and partners have sent Ukraine some 1,550 armoured vehicles and 230 tanks to form new heavy battlefield formations in a little over 12 months, NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg said Thursday, promising more to come as part of  a “multi-year programme of support.”

US helping Ukraine craft war plan to surprise Russia in coming counteroffensive
by Jamie McIntyre, Senior Writer |
April 27, 2023 07:03 AM

‘THE UKRAINIANS ARE IN ARE IN A GOOD POSITION’: America’s top general in Europe, Gen. Christopher Cavoli — who is both the supreme NATO and U.S. European commander — has told Congress that the U.S. has been working closely with Ukraine on its plans for a counteroffensive against Russia, including ways to gain the element of surprise despite the fact the Russians and the whole world know the military operation is coming.

“Of course, we've worked on all that with them. And, of course, it wouldn't be a surprise if we talked about it in public,” Cavoli testified before the House Armed Services Committee yesterday. “Any force can always use more of everything. But according to the modeling that we [have] very carefully done with them, the Ukrainians are in a good position.”

We're still a bit early in the spring for a major counter-offensive in Ukraine.  At least in WW2, this would still have been considered the wet season.  I really couldn't find any evidence of major mechanized attacks being conducted at this time of year.  The Germans main 1942 summer offensive didn't start until June 28.  Their main offensive in 1943 started in July, and the Soviet response came after that.  In 1944, the main Soviet offensive kicked off on June 22.

What might be happening now are smaller probing attacks and shaping the battlefield by grabbing some particular pieces of ground.  But the Ukrainian main attack likely won't start until mid-May at the earliest.

Particularly with the news that Ukraine has crossed over the Dnieper, it sounds like that is exactly what's happening.

The problem I have is trying to figure out who and what is going to replace the current Soviet system, and will the world be a safer or a more dangerous place after this happens.

Stop worrying yourself. That's way above your pay grade, if you still get any pay, that is.

Yeah, they do those little amphibious raids across the Dnipro to see how quickly the Russians react, how well it is defended, and perhaps as a feint or demonstration.  I wouldn't expect the main Ukrainian attack to be across the Dnipro itself - the main attack is more likely to be in Zaporizhzhia driving south to Melitopol or Berdyansk.  But if these little raids find out that the Russians are slow to react, or the sector is really poorly defended, it would be a really nice secondary attack to throw off balance the Russian troops to their east trying to stop that main drive.

That and preparing small "surprises" for the Russians to keep them second-guessing everything.  Certainly it won't be the main thrust of the counter.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Partisan attack kills police chief in Russian-occupied Melitopol

Robert Greenall  |  5 hours ago

A police chief in the occupied Ukrainian city of Melitopol, who defected to Russia after they seized the city, has been killed in an apparent partisan bombing.

Oleksandr Mishchenko died when an improvised device exploded at the entrance to the block where he lived.

There have recently been reports of heightened Ukrainian partisan activity in the region.

Melitopol's exiled mayor said the dead officer was a traitor.  .  .
