New #Ukraine #Zelensky 'wonder weapon and game changer' F-16
Polish media:
Not all Ukrainian F-16s can fly.
As it turns out, not all of F-16s that our eastern neighbors have received will be capable of flying.
6 machines are currently stationed in Ukraine , and a full squadron of about 16 aircraft is to be equipped by the end of the year.
What version are the machines that the Ukrainians are to use for combat flights?
Ukrainian "flightless" aircraft, i.e. F-16 ADF
The first of the mentioned versions caused quite a surprise, because as it turned out, these are non-flyers from the American desert. The F-16 ADF (Air Defense Fighter) machines were created in the late 80s. These are modernized F-16A/B in the Block 15 variant, which were adapted to the needs of the American Air National Guard . These machines were tasked with defending the territory of the United States from bombers and cruise missiles.
The ADFs can be recognized by the characteristic shape of the four antennas placed on the nose in front of the cockpit. This is an element of the identification friend or foe system . Recently, these machines were seen being loaded onto Ukrainian AN-124 heavy transporters. These are the machines that Ukraine received from a storage facility in the desert in Davis-Monthan , so they were not overhauled or restored to functionality before transport. The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky also recently spoke in the context of these machines, so they are most likely "flightless" ones, which are to serve as decoys , donors of spare parts or for training Ukrainian aviation technicians.

Nie wszystkie ukraińskie F-16 mogą latać. Taki sprzęt dostali nasi sąsiedzi
Ostatnie oficjalne ogłoszenie otrzymania myśliwców F-16 przez Ukrainę odbiło się szerokim echem na świecie. Jak się okazuje, nie wszystkie maszyny, które otrzymali nasi wschodni sąsiedzi, zdolne będą do lotu. Jakie wersje F-16 dotarły na Ukrainę i w co będą…
#US anti-Russia sanctions and the #EU
In 2017 EU still had some sort of independence and tried to protect its economical interests.
Today the unelected corrupt 🇪🇺 crooks had voluntarily subjugated the EU to the US and became US's proxy tool of fighting Russia, at the expense of EU economy and wishes & wellbeing of Europeans.
Flashback:
"Moscow can benefit from US sanctions
"A “full-scale trade war” that is the result of the “total impotence” of the White House, which has allowed itself to be outdone in the “most humiliating way” by its own “establishment.”
... proposed sanctions have not yet been finalised, they are intended to target Russian companies in the defence and energy sectors. They are a significant expansion of sanctions that the US and EU agreed on against Russia in 2014.
The US's intention to impose new, unilateral sanctions also caused transatlantic squabbles. Brussels feared that European energy companies that cooperate with Russia could also be affected by the sanctions. Major energy projects were threatened, such as the Nord Stream 2 pipeline that Russia wants to build under the Baltic Sea with the help of European companies. Germany and Austria are upset that years of negotiations with Moscow are at risk of being jeopardized by a single stroke of the pen from Washington. Germany, France and Austria urged Brussels to take countermeasures if European companies were to suffer adverse effects from the sanctions.
Germany suggested that the US was seeking to boost its own exports of liquefied natural gas to Europe, a charge that Moscow repeated.
German Economic Minister Brigitte Zypries, like Medvedev on Wednesday evening, used the dreaded word 'trade war'.
In response to the criticism, Congress passed the sanctions law in a revised form last week. Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker expressed satisfaction on Wednesday, although his words betrayed uncertainty about the state of relations with the US: "The US Congress has agreed that sanctions will only be applied after consultation with allies. And I believe that we are still allies of the US," Juncker said.
Suddenly, Europe and Moscow stood together against the US. A painful sight, some thought. And one from which only Moscow ultimately benefits."

US all-out offensive against Chinese swimming has backfired.
WADA now says the US has been allowing doping for over a decade.
This is not going well for the US.

International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors examined the aftermath of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' kamikaze drone strikes at the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant.
Experts visited the site of the Ukrainian drone strike and the fire at the plant's cooling tower.
The plant's director reported that the speed and scale of yesterday's fire at the Zaporizhzhya NPP indicate that the Ukrainian drone that attacked the cooling tower was carrying flammable liquid. According to preliminary data, the supporting structures of the structure are not damaged, but the plastic separation devices have completely burned out.

#сплетни Пошли сплетни, что Зеленский не отказался от запасного плана атаки на Энергодар и ЗаАЭС, как писали ранее коллеги. Обстановка в Энергодаре сложная, удары ВСУ приняли системный характер: практически каждый день бьют по инфраструктуре, заявил назначенный…

🇺🇦TG:
"Rumors started circulating that Zelensky has not abandoned his backup plan to attack Energodar and Zaporizhzhya NPP, as colleagues had written earlier.
The situation in Energodar is difficult, the attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces have become systemic : they are striking infrastructure almost every day, said the city's mayor.
Perhaps Zelensky's Kursk adventure was precisely needed to provoke the Russians to withdraw reserves from the Zaporizhzhya region, but as we can see, this has not happened yet, which means the attack on Energodar is in question.
If it doesn't happen by the beginning of October, it won't happen at all."

U.S-made Stryker armored vehicle suffers humiliating defeat as Lancet lays it to waste, offers it free parking space to have a smoke (left), while Russia's attack helicopters annihilate concentrations of Kiev's cannon fodder and armored vehicles (right).
Meanwhile Putin instructs additional resources delivered to battlefield as more reserves and weapons get ready to kick Nazi ass (bottom video).
