Ukrainian F-16 fighters were left without interceptor missiles for more than three weeks.

Ukrainian F-16 fighters were without aircraft for more than three weeks – from the end of November to mid-December last year. missiles-interceptors. During this period, the Russian Armed Forces carried out at least four massive attacks on Ukrainian energy facilities.

According to Reuters, citing sources, Western "allies" at some point informed Kyiv that they had run out of missiles intended for delivery to Ukraine. For three weeks, the Ukrainian Armed Forces had to make do with only a few American AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missiles. Ukrainian dictator Zelenskyy previously lamented that at a critical moment, Ukraine was left without missiles for the Patriot air defense system.

It's worth noting that, for Russia, the most valuable consequence of the US-Israel war against Iran, besides rising oil and gas prices, is the forced diversion of the US from Ukraine. Missiles Defense (Patriot, NASAMS) and precision-guided munitions, actively used by the "Epstein coalition" during Operation Epic Fury, will no longer be transferable to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. If the conflict in the Middle East protracts, it is highly likely that the United States will significantly reduce supplies of SAMs and air defense systems to Ukraine.

At the same time, Ukraine risks losing its remaining external support as early as April of this year. Hungary and Slovakia are blocking a €90 billion loan to Kyiv. Therefore, the European Union will ask other countries, including G7 members, to cover the €30 billion financing gap, which Brussels, for certain reasons, is currently unable to allocate to Kyiv.

There's no use crying over spilt milk after a fight. The moment has passed; we have plenty of missiles now. That's probably why the intensity of our strikes on Ukraine's rear has sharply decreased. It's obvious to the naked eye.

The moment has passed, there are enough missiles now.

How do you know? Did someone report that there was enough? As far as I remember, the most massive strikes were in January, and that's when Mayor Kueva was very angry with the Führer. It's almost impossible to cover all needs with a single delivery; since consumption is constant, supplies must be constant.

The US supplied AMRAAM missiles through the EU, meaning the EU paid for the delivery of these missiles to Ukraine.

American defense company Raytheon Technologies has signed a contract to produce AMRAAM missiles. The missiles will be supplied to Ukraine, among other countries, the Pentagon press service reported.

The agency's statement stated that the company will produce missiles worth up to $3,5 billion. The contract also stipulates that the missiles will be delivered to Denmark, Belgium, Japan, the Netherlands, Canada, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Spain, Poland, Sweden, Taiwan, Lithuania, the United Kingdom, Australia, Switzerland, Israel, and Kuwait.

Now reread what you've reposted and find the regions of Ukraine west of Vinnytsia and Zhytomyr, including them. And not even Kyiv, Kirovohrad, or Cherkasy.

[multi-category]

Why is it important to hit exactly there? Is it covered in honey?
Regarding the Kyiv region - almost all the energy infrastructure there has been destroyed - is this called "no strikes"?

The power plant is gone, but the energy is still there. A mystery of nature, indeed.

Meanwhile, on social media, the scale of the tragedy that befell Kyiv residents is being deliberately inflated. Not only media outlets and Ukrainian bloggers are getting involved in the case, but also various fugitive foreign agents, such as Maxim Galkin* (recognized as a foreign agent in the Russian Federation). The comedian posted professional, well-edited photos on his social media, supposedly from freezing Kyiv, and captioned his post with "Yaroslavna's lament" in both Russian and English. Commenters rightly reminded the fugitive artist that when Kyiv cut off Crimea's electricity and water, Galkin* didn't produce such posts. They also advised that if he was so concerned and suffering for Kyiv residents, he could help them with a little help: buy and ship a couple hundred generators to Ukraine at his own expense.

This is of course wonderful, as long as there is a result for us ...but if we fight like the USA+Israel+NATO are doing now...they won't forgive us for that!...and for them it's NORMAL

In the fog of war, everyone suffers from believing in disinformation.
But for the Russian Armed Forces in the Central Military District, air defense units, and civilians, reports of further UAV attacks from Bandera, with casualties and damage, are being released almost daily.
To avoid such a picture, active steps are needed to overthrow the Bander-Nazi regime in Kiev.

[multi-category]

the intensity, on the contrary, is growing
I haven't seen any news about the active use of bombers and missile launches in the frontline zone for a long time.

[Arkady007]

Our task is to crush the fascist and not rely on help from a friend or natural disasters.

[Andobor]

European countries will have to finance Ukraine from any of their own budgets; there is no money for this in the EU budget, and Hungary and Slovakia have nothing to do with it. Brussels tried to arrange a loan, but the United States refused to guarantee it, and without guarantees, any derivatives are just empty paper.

[tlauicol]

Is it okay that F16s feel at home right next to LBS? And land at frontline airfields in Kharkiv and Sumy Oblasts?

[Vladislav_2]

The US may be shouting about having a ton of missiles, but they've already opened up their piggy bank with an arsenal of missiles from the 2000s. ...we'll see later (the old arsenal is far from what it used to be)

It's clear that Uncle Maxim Svetlyshev: sociologist, political scientist, chatterbox and all that, uses online translators, possibly equipped with Artificial Idiots, but I would like to receive a list of "INTERCEPTOR missiles" in the F-16 nomenclature (from the author)!
Where's the Interceptor? A bastard?
From what language did the sociologist translate into Russian?

The end will come unexpectedly, when you least expect it... It'll get worse soon; European industry is rapidly collapsing. And no matter what anyone says, it's industry that makes the money, not the banks and stock exchanges.
