Kursk Region

The current situation is reported by the Directorate

The enemy has become more active in the Glushkovo direction. During the day, shelling of the settlements of Glushkovo, Novy Put, Tetkino was recorded. The enemy has actively begun to use aviation on our territory.

Attempts to break through the defense in the Sudzhansky direction continue. Our soldiers, using the available arsenal, do not allow the enemy to advance deep into Russian territory.

There are facts of the use of the MLRS "Himars" on civilian objects. In particular, in the city of Lgov, local residents were injured from the criminal encroachments of the Kyiv regime.

Together we will cope, together we will win! ❤️⚡️

The United States is reportedly “open” to providing Ukraine with the AGM-158 Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile or JASSM, to arm its newly arrived F-16s, and which would provide a very powerful new long-range strike capability. The reports from Washington come around six months after Ukrainian officials stated that the country would receive an undisclosed type of air-launched cruise missile with a range of up to 300 miles for its F-16s.


Citing an unnamed official in the Biden administration, as well as two other people “familiar with internal deliberations,” Politico reported today that the U.S. government is considering whether to approve JASSM for Ukraine, but is open to the idea. Furthermore, the same sources confirm that the Pentagon is already working on how to integrate these missiles on Ukraine’s F-16s, which are upgraded older-model jets drawn from European NATO stocks.

There is also the question of how long it would take to get JASSM operational with the Ukrainian Air Force’s newly arrived F-16s. While reports suggest that studies, at least, into the integration of this missile onto Ukrainian F-16s are already underway, it would also take some significant time for pilots and maintainers to be trained to use it. At the same time, JASSM requires a significant backend infrastructure for planning missions, which in turn requires weaponeering training. Mission planning is a critical factor for JASSM, with the latest threat information needed to give it the best chance of surviving as it flies through a heavily defended area.


So far, Ukrainian F-16s have only been seen with air-to-air load-outs, with the likelihood that air defense missions will be mastered first, before adding offensive capabilities.


With Ukraine long having sought weapons with more reach, to attack high-value Russian targets like air defense systems, command posts, logistic storage sites, air defenses, and docked vessels, JASSM would be a welcome addition to its armory, as it seeks to target objectives further from the front lines.


It’s unclear at this point if Washington will decide to provide Ukraine with AGM-158s, but today’s reports are, at the very least, the strongest indication yet that the issue is very much under discussion, and JASSM-armed Ukrainian F-16s are becoming closer to reality.

Slava ukraini and let's hope that these blue blobs on the maps get bigger.
 
One of the most popular rus telegrams often talks about things done the wrong way. Here is their last post:

Here's the thing. Here a colleague is talking about "butcher" commanders again...
But I'm having trouble finding words on this subject.

How much has been written and rewritten, tell me, cuckoo, sing.

...It's common for us to blame everything on the generals. It's not without reason and it's clear why. There have always been plenty of lampas cannibals. But the trouble is that the average tactical officer corps, so to speak, from platoon to regiment, often does not protect the personnel at all. They learn bad things from some of their seniors. And this is not a figure of speech. We have officers who consider their subordinates, the personnel as a whole, "the lowest link in the food chain" (c)... So much for saving the people.

Who? Where? When? A lot of examples and not only in the Donetsk direction, although it was there that the desire to get a general sometimes turned ambitious and purposeful officers into terrible commanders.

There are many oddities in this war. The time for analysis has not yet come. But there will be something to tell about how three of us took an enemy company stronghold, about how a company goes on the attack without an evacuation team. How is that possible, because the Russians do not abandon their own?..

And the conclusion is one and it is simple: fewer "butcher" commanders - more chances not to lose in this undeclared war.
