The Russians are modifying missiles and “shaheeds” in anticipation of the appearance of the F-16 at Ukrainian airfields. Ukraine is also seriously preparing to receive fighter jets, so a very serious confrontation awaits, the Unian portal writes.
Ukraine needs at least 128 F-16 aircraft, but only a few initially. However, even a small number of these aircraft can have a noticeable impact on the course of military operations, military and political commentator Aleksandr Kovalenko told Channel 24.
He reminded that in June 2022, Ukraine received only 4 HIMARS multiple launch missile systems. And then there were also many doubts whether such a small number would have any effect on the war situation.
Defenders destroyed a Russian Tu-22M3 strategic bomber at Olenia airfield last weekend. This was said by Andrijus Yusov, a representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) of the Ministry of Defense, commenting on the fact that President Volodymyr Zelensky noted the successful long-range strikes of the 9th Department of Military Intelligence of Ukraine.
Ukraine has claimed that Russia is copying maritime drones by learning from fragments of Ukrainian drones. But an expert on combat drones said that this is unlikely to help and could be a waste of Russian resources, according to Business Insider.
Russia continues to strengthen bilateral relations with Iran and North Korea in exchange for lethal aid to Russian troops in Ukraine. The Institute for Military Research (ISW) stated this in its July 27 assessment of Russia’s military campaign.
The Ukrainian military is at risk of going without salaries as early as the end of September if the Council does not decide to increase taxes. This was stated by the head of the Budget Committee, Roksolana Pidlasa, in the “Ekonomikos kronikos” podcast.
