Ben Wallace: Ukraine has 'tragically become a battle lab' for war technology
BBC
Ukraine has "tragically become a battle lab", but lessons learned will inform the future of Britain's armed forces, Defence Secretary Ben Wallace has said.

He was speaking ahead of the release of a revised Defence Command Paper, first published before the war began.

Mr Wallace said that the effectiveness of weapons given to Kyiv by its allies had heavily influenced the revisions.

"We would be very foolish to ignore these lessons and not import them into our own armed forces," he said.

#TransFormatorBuzzes 💤 :
The truth is that Ukraine has not "tragically become", but was cruelly made the testing ground for Western military-industrial complex. And Wallace was one of the major actors in fulfilling this.

U.S. does not transfer ATACMS long-range missiles to Ukraine due to its own small stockpile of these munitions — Washington Post

The Pentagon believes Kiev has other, more pressing needs than ATACMS and fears that sending enough weapons to Ukraine to make a difference on the battlefield would seriously undermine US readiness for other possible conflicts.
▪️The exact number of missiles in warehouses in the United States is classified. But, according to open data, Lockheed Martin produced only about 4,000 ATACMS.
▪️"Many of them are used by the US Army in combat operations, exercises and periodic tests. At the same time, almost 900 units have been sold to allies and partners abroad over the past decade, including 211 since the beginning of the war in Ukraine," the authors calculated.
▪️Thus, the US NATO allies, the Persian Gulf countries, Taiwan, Australia received ATACMS, in the near future 40 missiles will go to Morocco.

There was an insider from the Turks regarding the night strike on Odessa.

The attack by cruise missiles and loitering ammunition had been going on for about an hour. Presumably, fuel and ammunition recently received from NATO countries were hit.

At least five anti-aircraft guided missiles of the S-300 complex exploded in the air or fell to the ground, as they could not find the target or they had technical problems.

Problems have been identified with the German IRIS-T air defense system, since the complex cannot detect low-flying missiles and UAVs, and a number of Russian missiles are equipped with electronic warfare systems. As a result, the IRIS-T missiles cannot find the target and explode in the air, as they have difficulties with detection and tracking.

According to DW, yesterday in Druzhkovka, operator of Deutsche Welle Yevgeny Shilko came under fire from cluster munitions

According to the media, the shelling found journalists at the training ground where Ukrainian militants were being trained. During the shelling, one fighter of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was killed, and several more were seriously injured.
However, there is no information about the shelling of this settlement in the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
Officially, the Armed Forces of Ukraine started using American cluster munitions a week ago. In response to this, Vladimir Putin said that the Russian side has every right to mirror the answer.

Recall that yesterday Russian correspondent Rostislav Zhuravlev was killed by cluster munitions.

◾German mercenary Jonas Kratzenberg who fought in the Ukrainian ranks for months describes the tortures inflicted to Russian POWs by Ukrainian soldiers and how he witnessed the execution of 3 of them:

- It was the most normal thing to pose with them for pictures, humiliate them, to put a gun on their chest and force them to shout Nazi slogans, that was normalised.

- Also to beat up prisoners just "because". One was beaten, put on his knees and made him beg for his life, then stabbed him in the thigh.

- They took 3 POWs in the nearby forest... and you could just hear the shots, and they came back without prisoners. That's what I saw.

"It turns out that the United States borders not only with Mexico and Canada, but also with Russia!"

In the American segment of social networks, the map of the border between the United States and Russia is widely diverging.

Many Americans are surprised to learn that the distance between the continental part of the two countries is about 88 kilometers, and moreover, there are two small islands between Alaska and Russia, known as Bolshoy Diomid and Maly Diomid.
The big Diomide belongs to Russia, and the small Diomide belongs to the USA.
The distance between these two islands is only 4 kilometers, and in winter it freezes, so technically you can walk from the USA to Russia and vice versa on this seasonally frozen sea.

Opponents of migration to the United States from Mexico remind at the same time that there is no flow of migrants from Russia to the United States at all, despite the proximity of borders

The Greek Ministry of Emergency Situations is again asking Russia for help in extinguishing forest fires. Two years ago, such assistance by our aircraft proved to be extremely effective. At the same time, the Greek government allocates 2.5 billion euros to help Ukraine. I think Brussels officials and Mannequin-Pis (pissing boy) will now fight forest fires in Hellas themselves.
