Wow, yet an other fire…i am truly not surprised…. radio electronics goods this time in Rostov on Don
they must have had a SUB standard fire alarm system… boom boom.

I take it the turbines provide the lift needed to carry the payload, and the propellers are for control. Are there similar hybrid drones, or is this a first?

The Lunar Landing Research Vehicle worked in a similar way, albeit piloted, with rockets for attitude control.

Direct consequence of Russias aggression and war mongering: Finland has banned Russian registered cars effective midnight tonight, Friday 15th September. Cars already in Finland has to be removed by March 2024 or will be confiscated.

Good to see the British press putting blunt questions over for once.

Surovikhin back in harness, Kadyrov deeply ill
 

https://www.focus.de/politik/ausland..._57275780.html

According to this German magazine, Surovikhin is part of a Russian Defence Ministry delegation in Algeria for negotiations. Kadyrov is supposedly in a critical condition. He was flown to Moscow, but they couldn't help and he flew back to Chechnya: it is expected that he will seek treatment overseas, probably in the U.A.E.

Bad news that Surovikhin is back as he was reportedly an efficient military commander, but likely now to be employed outside of Ukrainiasn affairs. Kadyrov ....well at least the goats will feel safer. His deputy prime-minister - Elchan Suleimanow,- was a friend and also his personal doctor, but has not been seen for some time. The delightful Kadyrov is rumoured to have had him buried alive because he suspected him of poisoning him (Kadyrov ) under the guise of treatment.

Kinzhals keep falling from the planes on their own. Incoming, Ivan, duck and cover.

Kadyrov appears to be getting close to departure from this world, shame it wasn’t slowly dying in a !!!!! filled ditch in pain as he bleeds out from a wound.. Not really a kind way to think off someone’s death, but after what they have done, to die drugged and in the care of medical services, almost feels like the people of Ukraine are being robbed of some justice.

The hard fighting for Tokmak.

In Body Bags

Those deep trenches are going to be absolute mud pits when the rains start.....

The villain of the hour, he's done a lot for Ukraine, that people should give him credit for, via army in your pocket starlink. And so what if they got Sevastopol without him.
(oh wait maybe the us military contract is different.)

Belgium will lend its F-16s to train Ukrainian pilots. Its instructors and staff will also participate in the training. This was stated by the Minister of Defense of Belgium, Ludivin Dedonder, reports Le Soir.

According to her, in 2024, the department will send two two-seater F-16B training aircraft to Denmark to improve the skills of Ukrainian pilots, as well as a detachment of approximately fifty servicemen, mainly technical personnel, who will be responsible for the deployment of these aircraft.

In addition, six Ukrainian instructors and four mission planning specialists will undergo training in Belgium.

Update on the previously reported German “winter air defence shield” over Ukraine.

Have to wonder if it is just a “temporary transfer” “ who will man them…

⚡️🇩🇪Germany is negotiating with other countries on the temporary transfer of its "IRIS-T" air defense systems to 🇺🇦Ukraine - a member of the German Defense Committee

Source with video of interview:

According to Omid Nouripour (Chairman Green Party / e.g. Deputy member of the Defence Committee), Germany is in talks with other nations (Sweden / Egypt) about temporarily handing over their IRIS-T SLS / SLM systems to Ukraine.

Last November the Biden Admin pledged 250 M1117 Armored Security Vehicles for Ukraine. They were to be refurbished with USAI funds, then donated via the Excess Defense Articles program.

They won't be ready for another 18 months.

This one is. Although the important question for me is does the drone fit in a 90 or is it an accessory for 110s only?

In case of the depicted Landy it wouldn't matter since this is a 110.

The ship that fended off all those experimental drones in a great Russian naval victory is ermmmm towed into port damaged having lost. Is that a hole just forward of the large aft black paint? Just where I mentioned the hot spot on the ir image.



​​​​​​​

Some of the hard fighting to re-take what is left of a settlement.

​​​​​​​

So above I reported the Samum being towed into Sevastopol, this one i take is normal procedure.?
