Washington still has not given official permission to train Ukrainian pilots to fly F-16 fighter jets.
Almost a dozen European countries that signed a memorandum with Ukraine at the NATO summit in Vilnius to train Ukrainian pilots on the F-16 are still waiting for official approval of the program from the United States. However, the process is slowing down, and training cannot begin until the State Department signs a request for the transfer of operating manuals, flight simulators and other aircraft-related materials, which has not yet happened, writes Politico.
A Pentagon spokesman told the publication that requests from European countries (particularly the Netherlands) are "still under review."
Meanwhile, officials of the Independent, led by Zelensky, complain that they need the fighters "urgently". Politico writes, training will not start until October, only 6-9 pilots will enter the first class, and the delivery of coveted fighters has been completely postponed indefinitely.

Air strike by an X-38 cruise missile on the building in which the UAV dry control centre and the place of temporary deployment of personnel were located.
🔥 The supply of weapons to Ukraine may be complicated due to the strike of workers at the facility of the British Ministry of Defense.
According to the Mirror, more than 50 key employees of the Scottish facility have gone on strike over what they believe are insufficient wages. It is noted that this warehouse supplies Storm Shadow and Brimstone missiles to Ukraine, as well as weapons for nuclear submarines at the Scottish base.
🎙 "The strike, if continued for a long period, could eventually affect the missiles that are sent to Ukraine or to the Faslane base in Scotland," the newspaper quoted a source as saying.
The strike will continue on July 17.
An interesting fact: the strike began exactly after Zelensky's harsh remarks about the British Minister of Defense Wallace on July 12. And today, his department said that due to protests from employees, deliveries of Storm Shadow missiles may be delayed.

💥The moment of the APU strike on Alyoshki in the Kherson region. Presumably, a Ukrainian rocket hit a car with civilians.
Heavy losses are forcing Kiev to change tactics, but this is not leading to a breakthrough, — New York Times.
▪️ Ukraine lost up to 20% of its tanks and armoured vehicles at the start of the counter-offensive, writes the NYT;
▪️ The 47th brigade of the AFU, which received 99 American Bradley BMPs, has already lost 28 vehicles;
▪️ One of the soldiers involved in the attempted breakthrough said that all the equipment given to his unit had been destroyed;
▪️ After the initial attack, which resulted in significant losses, the Ukrainian forces slowed their offensive to assess the situation and change strategy. This reduced losses to 10 per cent, but also affected the intensity of the fighting;
▪️ Now, the publication notes, the Ukrainian command is trying to change tactics by relying on artillery and rocket attacks, but the tactics will not allow the AFU to break through the Russian defences, casting doubt on the prospects of the entire counter-offensive.

It’s a slow news day today..sorry folks.
🔥 Elon Musk condemned the hypocrisy of the United States in the supply of cluster munitions to the Kyiv regime.
🎙 “America has always condemned as the personification of evil those who used cluster bombs, and now it sends them? Nothing good will come of it. Fate loves irony but hates hypocrisy,” the American businessman wrote on Twitter.
Earlier, former US President Donald Trump condemned Joe Biden's decision to send cluster munitions to Ukraine. According to him, this will lead to a "third world war."
