Belgium to deliver 30 F-16 fighter aircraft

05/28/2024


Belgium is committed to delivering 30 F-16 fighter jets by 2028 to assist Kyiv in countering Russia's invasion.

It is part of a security agreement Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed with Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo.

The Ukrainian leader is on a two-day tour of Spain, Belgium and Portugal to drum up support for Kyiv.

This war will last a long time as long as we have a Democommie as POTUS, who insists on lining the pockets of the military industrial complex with hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars. 

Russia has an endless supply of 18 year olds who will lay their life down to stop Nazism, per Putin.  That is the political  rhetoric he provides to the general population, and 80+% of the people of Russia believe what Putin is doing is righteous. 

This is by far the most pointless and evil war in my lifetime.

Himars strike destroys air defences inside Russia as Kremlin warns of ‘fatal consequences’

3 June 2024  •  7:12pm



The aftermath of a Ukrainian Himars strike on a Russian air defence system in Belgorod

Ukrainian troops have used US-supplied Himars missiles to destroy an advanced air defence system inside Russia, as the Kremlin warned Washington it could suffer “fatal consequences” for backing the cross-border attacks.

Several missiles are understood to have hit an air defence installation in the Russian city of Belgorod that was equipped with S-300/400 surface-to-air missiles.

Photos of the aftermath of the attack, which is believed to have happened on Sunday, show vehicles on fire and billowing out smoke.

On Monday, Sergei Ryabkov, Moscow’s deputy foreign minister, said that the US would face “fatal consequences” if it allowed Ukraine to use American weapons for attacks inside Russia.

The US has so far allowed Kyiv to hit targets within Russia only if they pose an immediate threat to Ukrainian forces.

It’s not clear if the strike on Belgorod breaches the limits the US has imposed on the weapons, but Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, has requested permission to use US munitions for long-range strikes.

Netherlands will not restrict Ukraine's use of F-16s to strike targets in Russia

MARIIA YEMETS, STANISLAV POHORILOV — MONDAY, 3 JUNE 2024, 13:16


Dutch Defence Minister Kajsa Ollongren has said that her country will allow Ukraine to use the F-16 fighter jets the Netherlands will supply, including for strikes on targets in Russia.

Quote: "We are applying the same principle that we have applied to every other delivery of capabilities, which is once we hand it over to Ukraine, it’s theirs to use. We only ask them to comply to international law and the right to self-defence as stated in the U.N. Charter, which means they use it to target the military goals they need to target in their self-defence." 

Details: Ollongren was among the officials who called for the lifting of restrictions on Ukraine's use of Western-supplied weapons by the allies who had imposed them.  .  .

Maybe that tank driver binge-watched "The Dukes of Hazard" episodes?

That supply convoy lost quite a few trucks. The supplies might have been largely salvaged, but some of those trucks are lost, and others eating up valuable repair facility time (mission kill).

As long as Russia stages invaders' attacks on Russian soil, uses Russian soil to base rocket, missile, and artillery attacks, and uses Russian air space to launch missiles and glide bombs, those areas' military targets are fair game. If Russia doesn't want military targets attacked in Russia, all they have to do is withdraw their invaders from ALL Ukrainian territory.

I am not and never have been a leftist.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

I wonder how much weapon manufacturers stock the Bidens have, then again made the Chicoms just pay them outright for weakening America.

And you think that makes any kind of sense?

Russa isn't winning the war it is already in. It has no ability to take on NATO other than with nukes. And with nukes they all die.

Ukraine counterattacks near Kharkiv, US weapons may be deployed on Russia

Wessel de Jong  •  Today, 6:46 PM


The Ukrainian army has launched a counterattack against the Russians north of Kharkiv. "We haven't seen this in months," says military analyst Mart de Kruif.

The former commander of the Land Forces does not yet want to speak of a counter-offensive. Oleg Zhdanov, former member of the Ukrainian General Staff, speaks of "offensive actions". It is likely that American and other foreign weapons were used as far away as Russia. Recently, countries, including the US, gave Ukraine the green light to do so.

The military actions are taking place north of Ukraine's second city, Kharkiv. The metropolis with about one million inhabitants is located about 40 kilometers from the Russian border. The Russians opened a new front there on May 10. The Ukrainians were then put on the defensive and had to give up several villages along the border.

Hard Fought
Last week, the Russian advance came to a halt. In the meantime, the Russians are being pushed back. Near the border town of Vovchansk (Volchansk in Russian) there is heavy fighting. Russian Telegram channels also state that the attackers have been cornered and that they have little defense against Ukrainian drones and artillery.  .  .
