The rumor that France would send #Mamba systems to Ukraine with Italy is false.
A source from the Ministry of the Armed Forces tells us that France is NOT going to send SAMP/T Mamba systems to #Ukraine. This rumor is unfounded."
The Aster missile—named after the Greek word for “Star”—was conceived in the 1990s by Eurosam, a consortium of MBDA and Thales, to defend warships from enemy aircraft and sea-skimming cruise missiles at short range. Today, Aster missiles can be found in the launch cells of warships including the Royal Navy’s Type 45 destroyers and France’s Horizon-class frigates.
In the 2000s, Eurosam began developing an enlarged Aster missile with four times the range to provide area air defense. This new Aster 30 not only supplements the short-range Aster 15 variant at sea, but is also deployed on a land-based launcher, the SAMP/T (French: “Surface-to-Air Medium-Range/Land-based”), replacing dated I-Hawk and Crotale SAMs
The latest Aster-30 Block 1NT model can intercept aircraft up to seventy-five miles away, and can fly fast and high enough (maximum 65,000 feet) to intercept tactical and short-range ballistic missiles, as well as low-flying drones, cruise missiles and aircraft.

Prigozhin, the curator of Wagner PMC, said that in order to participate in the SVO, it is necessary to involve the children of oligarchs - "until their children go to war, the country will not be fully mobilized." Without it, the elites are in a state of "infinite comfort"

Instead of luxury in Germany, get a village in Moldova
Nikolaev refugees complain about yet another deception on the part of Ukrainian officials.
Instead of Germany and Austria, where they were supposed to be sent, they ended up 80 km from the Moldovan capital, and then the money ran out.

According to Zastavnyii's information, at this very moment the issue of strikes on the Odessa seaport—to take it out completely—is being decided. "Recep is a dear friend to us, but the destruction of Ukrainian infrastructure is more important." Strikes, if authorized, are expected within a week. -SlavyangradJohninMK wrote:Might not need to.

How much you wanna bet that the money was issued by Germany and Austria to get them there, but that the Oligarchs skimmed a lot off the top.

In that tradition did you know that Orwell wrote 1984 to pay tribute to the glorious Ukrainian leadership?

There is a theory out there that due to the colour scheme and version that this was a Wagner aircraft.

It appears that they are NOT the same: the one on the photos is a Ukrainian chopper that was shot down near Konstantinovka, the one in the video is a Russian chopper that belonged to a PMC (which explains why they used an old model that's not used by the Russian military).

I don't know if these are the same helicopter but the pictures and the video appeared at roughly the same time and the wreck that was photographed near Konstantinovka is definitely a Ukrainian Mi-8. twitter.com/Militarylandne…

So Russia will target the loading port to disable the grain deal ? That's a good idea. Targeting ships would be too provocative

It looks like a Ukrainian Mi-8, not any of the variants Russia has introduced into service over the last 20 years, which as you mentioned have different cockpit features.
Of course it could be an old model in Russian service, but more likely to just be Ukrainian.

He himself is an oligarch. Does he have any kids which aren't involved in the SVO at present?

To be fair he quoted the UN aid chief. Which we hadn't had before
And just to comment, striking the port sounds like a capital idea
The cover that these ship convoys afford has been used thus far to conduct a terrorist bombing on the Crimean bridge, and now an attack against the Black Sea Fleet in Sevastopol. That's plenty enough justification to shut the whole operation down. But of course firing on civilian shipping would be unwarranted.
Russia has several choices, including blockade, harassment/inspection.. but those come with the risks of exposing vessels to anti-ship assets in Odessa and Nikolayev. Simply destroying the port is safer and easier, and then assume that any ships coming out of Odessa are hostile; as civilian cargo craft would no longer have any business being there.
