Closer, more gruesome angle.  Spoilered for fatality.  Supposedly was a trial run preparing for an air show, not actually combat.  The bounce and slide is actually kind of impressive in a gruesome sort of way.

I merely meant I was impressed the fuselage remained intact and didn't break up.  I guess there was just enough lateral force to prevent the terminal splat at the point of impact.  Inner analytical coming out, even in the midst of tragedy.  But, it's Russian tragedy, so...

Certainly there are some recently retired NATO air force pilots who would be glad to strap up and kill Russians.

Keeping up with Ukraine's fearless women warriors

Since the Ukraine-Russia war began, Scripps News has been following courageous Ukrainian women on the front lines. Here's an update on their stories.

Scripps News met Maj. Uliana Sozanska last spring near the front lines in Bakhmut, Ukraine.

Just weeks before the meeting, she had led an air force band, far from any battlefield. However, when her only brother fell victim to a Russian attack, everything changed. Fueled by the desire to avenge his death, she enlisted in the same unit with which he had fought.

Sozanska said that her brother’s motto was, “A warrior lives as long as people remember him.” Now her brother’s photo is displayed on a huge banner in the heart of Ukraine's capital. 

Suzanka shared with us a photo of her new tattoo honoring her brother. In the new year, she’s now posting on social media photos of herself at the front, writing, “Never will we give up!”

Shifting focus to another remarkable woman: For nearly two years, Scripps News followed Emerald and her fairy-tale journey from jeweler, to sniper, to wife and then mother.

The dramatic developments in the life of the woman known as "Ukraine’s Joan of Arc" continue to unfold.

While she is still in Kyiv raising her daughter, she announced on social media that she is getting a divorce.

But that has not stopped her from continuing to leave a legacy. 

She is now using her fame in Ukraine to advocate on behalf of victims of domestic violence, founding an organization with over 700 volunteers as her new front line.

Now let's talk about the commander of a Ukrainian mortar platoon, whose call sign is "Witch."

To meet Witch last winter, Scripps News journeyed near the front line, under constant Russian shelling. 

Witch, a lawyer turned mortar commander, offered insight into how many women, who weren't allowed to serve in combat positions before 2016, are now thriving in a male-dominated military. 

We recently had a reunion when we reported our story about Witch's mentee, Demon, the young 19-year-old mortarwoman. 

Ukraine’s military has promoted her again, making her one of the highest-ranking women on the battlefield. Witch is still fighting.

While in the US Navy in the 90’s there were plenty of stories about multiple enlisted guys being “married” to the same woman/stripper.   The military pays you more if you are married or have kids, so women would draw in guys with sex and convince them to get “married” and split the pay increase.  
 

I imagine that Russia has a somewhat similar cottage industry growing right now, but the Russian women are looking for the life insurance as much as anything.

I was in the Navy from 07 to 13. I knew plenty of guys that married women for the housing allowance benefits. Same woman, no.

What about soldiers?

My wife has told me stories about "base queens" who would marry a guy about to be deployed, get the money and what not, then target a new guy rotating back in.  They'd then file for divorce right about the time the first dude is due to come home from deployment, marry the new guy (who is due to be deployed shortly) and so on and so forth.  Worse, often times they'd seal each relationship with a kid.  Basically, a guy would come home and instead of a wife, perhaps a kid, and all his money be waiting for him, he's got nothing.  A lot of these guys are the sharpest knives in the kitchen, so I can see how a bit of sex and empty promises could easily get them.

In the Marines we’d call them WestPac Widows (on the west coast) and MedFloat Mamas (on the East). Whenever a MEU would go out which was roughly every six months or so, there would be a whole lot more women popping up in the clubs with tanned ring lines on their fingers.

810th brigade is getting hit!!!
from russian tg

"Once again, in several directions, FPV operators set up an ambush..

Be careful. This is not a story where a couple of drones stick into a loaf...

It happens like this - one or two drones are looking for a target. As soon as they are found, they work on one at a time, one minute apart. At this time, another 5-6 drones fly out and burn equipment and people to dust. Then a pause..

What happens next, and here carefully!

The evacuation group arrives and about 6 more drones work on it. In total, there were 3 waves in 30 minutes. In terms of quantity, this is about 15 drones. In terms of losses - 3 vehicles, 4x200 and 7x300. The wounds are serious."

The situation described above is real, from our fellow physician.

The whole golf cart thing - they’ve been using them for a while, and acquired thousands last year because they aren’t able to get their infantry vehicles out of storage and refurbished fast enough

Quote

Russian industry manufactures around 30 new infantry fighting vehicles a month. So the Russian military losing 200 IFVs between Feb. 14 and March 14 is ... a problem. A problem the Kremlin solves, in part, by pulling old Cold War IFVs out of storage, minimally refurbishing them and shipping them off to the front line at a rate of around 50 a month.

But these stocks of old vehicles are finite. There probably are just a few thousand older IFVs left in storage, and many have rusted beyond repair. Struggling to generate combat vehicles after two years of hard fighting that has cost them no fewer than 3,500 IFVs—two-thirds of the pre-war force—the Russians visibly are getting desperate.

Quote

That desperation helps to explains two odd, do-it-yourself Russian IFVs that—according to Ukrainian drone-operator “Kriegsforscher”—recently appeared at the front, apparently around the ruins of Avdiivka in eastern Ukraine.

One was a 1960s-vintage T-62 tank with its turret removed, leaving an empty space in its 32-ton hull for infantry to crouch inside. The other was a 35-ton BTS-2 engineering vehicle based on a T-54 tank from the 1950s, apparently also missing its top equipment—specifically, its crane and winch—in order to make space for passengers. “It looked … creepy,” Kriegsforscher wrote about the DIY IFVs. But surely not as creepy as one of the main alternatives for the vehicle-starved Russians: Chinese golf carts.

Compiling different posts here from opposite sides, including Rybar, so keep that in mind 

The US military attaché who was found dead in Kyiv was engaged in the delivery of F-16s to Ukraine

The deceased was Richard Harry Kirlin, the relevant obituary was posted on the Legacy website. The man worked in the US Air Force and the Pentagon.

He died of cardiac arrest at the age of 57 on June 25 in a hotel room.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 Details have emerged of the death of the attaché at the US embassy in Kyiv at the end of June: the deceased was military adviser Richard Harry Kirlin, who had been in his last post for only 10 days.

According to information online, the American had a very rich record of service - during his career he held positions in the Air Force, the Central Command of the Armed Forces and information technology, as well as in the State Department in missions in Mauritania, Honduras and Saudi Arabia. In Ukraine he was engaged in the organization of deliveries of F-16 fighter jets.

According to the official version, Kirlin died in his hotel room at the Hilton, with no signs of violence found on his body. Later, the media, citing certain sources, even added that he "suffered from high cholesterol".

❗️His sudden death almost immediately after his arrival in Ukraine, his occupation and details of his biography give some reason to believe that the U.S. military advisor died under circumstances somewhat different from those publicly stated. For example, in the course of a strike on one of the airfields or command posts.
