@BeastsInJars @marcthiessen: In theory, sort of. The approval process was reportedly moved from OUSD(P) to SACEUR. Ukraine doesn't have much in the way of US long range weapons to conduct such strikes though. They use their own weapons.

RT @the_engi_nerd: NIXON: Bob, they’re telling me we need the E-7 Wedgetail. Big airplane. Radar on top. Looks like a 737 with a canoe strapped to it.
HALDEMAN: That’s the general configuration, Mr. President.
NIXON: Don’t get technical with me.
HALDEMAN: I’ll try not to, sir.
NIXON: And then the eggheads from Chantilly come in. Charts, folders, little arrows going around the planet. Space-based AMTI, they say. Persistent tracking, they say. Global coverage. Bob, any time a man says “global coverage,” he’s either selling you satellites or shaving cream.
HALDEMAN: Which eggheads from Chantilly, sir?
NIXON: What do you mean, which eggheads?
HALDEMAN: NRO or SDA?
NIXON: That’s exactly what I mean. Too many outfits. Too many letters. We used to have departments. Now we have alphabet soup with clearances.
HALDEMAN: The NRO people would be the quiet ones. The SDA types would be the ones saying “proliferated architecture.”
NIXON: Proliferated architecture. Sounds like a disease you get from a federal building.
HALDEMAN: It’s contagious in budget hearings.
NIXON: I don’t like it. I don’t like any of it. First they put cameras in space. Then radars. Then they tell me the airplane is obsolete. Then some damned Colonel with a slide rule says we need a Space Force.
HALDEMAN: That term may test poorly.
NIXON: Test poorly? Bob, it sounds like a toy line. Space Force. They could make a television show to sell the toys; the boys at Mattel would make an absolute killing.
HALDEMAN: The Air Force would object to that characterization.
NIXON: The Air Force would object to breathing if the Navy got appropriations for lungs.
HALDEMAN: That’s probably true.
NIXON: They’re out to get me, Bob.
HALDEMAN: The Air Force?
NIXON: The whole blue-suiter crowd. The bomber crowd, the missile crowd, the fellows who sit around drawing arrows over Poland. They want a new branch, new uniforms, new generals. And once they get space, they’ll look down at the White House and say, “There he is.”
HALDEMAN: From Earth orbit, sir, the White House is a fairly small target.
NIXON: Don’t reassure me with geometry.

E-7s to replace the Air Force's dwindling and aging fleet of E-3s are even more sorely needed now after one of the latter was lost to an Iranian attack.

RT @AirPowerNEW1: PSA: OSINT is geolocating a tank from satellite imagery or scrubbing hundreds of public documents for relevant facts. SLOPINT (Scraped, Lifted, Other-people's Posts as INTelligence) involves scrolling some 400 follower account on social media, bookmarking or screenshotting their post, and filing it as your own reporting or throwing their content into a monetized youtube video. Two very different jobs.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 Security Assistance provisions of the Ukraine Support Act include restoring the authorization for Lend Lease (thru FY28) and authorizing $8 billion in Foreign Military Financing loans to Ukraine & NATO allies in FY26.
It would eliminate the authorization for USAI in CY28 & 29 though. The FYAA NDAA extended thru CY29 and this would amend that to thru CY27.
Once this gets on the floor the House needs to amend that.

The focus is Western Ukraine, and the strikes are continuing.
