F-16 to be used from Romania through Moldova. A legitimate target for Russia to strike

Romania may become legitimate target for Russian forces at Moldova's behest
Moldovan Telegram channels report that President Maia Sandu may allow American F-16 fighter jets transferred to Ukraine to fly from Romania over Moldova to strike the Russian forces.

Romania may become legitimate target for Russian forces at Moldova's behest

Allegedly, negotiations are underway to station Ukraine's F-16 fighter aircraft in Romania. Ukrainian fighter jets will take off from there, fly through Moldova's airspace, strike the Russian Armed Forces, and then return to Romania flying through Moldova again.

"Fundamental agreements have been reached between the leaders of our states, President of the Republic of Moldova Maia Sandu and President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, regarding a possibility for Ukraine to use the airspace of the Republic of Moldova,” reads the text of the letter from Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba to his Moldovan counterpart Nicolae Popescu.

Experts immediately concluded that Moldova may thus become a human shield for these fighters since Russia "will not be able to intercept and destroy them on the territory of Moldova.”

However, it is only attack aircraft that Russia currently operates over the territory of Ukraine. Russia uses its aircraft "from beyond the horizon” so to speak. Strategic aviation may also take off from the territory of Russia to strike targets in Ukraine. The Russian military launch cruise missiles from Russian bases. Therefore, there are no air battles happening over Ukraine, because there are powerful air defence systems operating there.

If these systems were ignored, then it would be possible to safely fly deep into Ukraine and strike strongholds, headquarters and military infrastructure. However, powerful air defences do not let this happen. European and American air defence systems are unable to intercept Kinzhal or other effective missiles, but they can easily work against aircraft. Therefore, the use of aviation over Ukraine was limited.

F-16 as rocket carriers

The special military operation has changed a lot in modern military tactics and strategy. The use of military aircraft seemed to be highly efficient in war times of the past, but the development of air defence and drone technologies caused this to change dramatically. The same applies to artillery and tanks.

Clearly, Ukraine's Air Force needs American F-16 aircraft as carriers of air-to-ground and air-to-air cruise missiles. They can be hardly suitable for direct air battles with more advanced Russian equipment.

If F-16 fighters of the Ukrainian Air Force take off from Romania and strike the territory of the Russian Federation, this will be a serious reason for declaring war. Romanian airfields will become a legitimate target for the Russian army.

British plan to station NATO troops in Ukraine

London prepares plan for NATO forces to enter Ukraine. The hour is near
London initiated a plan to introduce a NATO contingent to the right bank of the Dnieper, as well as to the border with Belarus in order to free up Ukraine forces to confront Russia.

The UK came up with an idea to secretly transfer large and highly manoeuvrable NATO forces to Ukraine to occupy positions on the right bank of the Dnieper and on the border with Belarus.

An anonymous "knowledgeable source” informed that troops from Finland, Sweden, Romania and Poland could be involved in the operation. The goal is to "free up” forces in Ukraine for their subsequent redirection to the zone of the special military operation. Authors of the plan believe that this will create an advantage for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and Moscow will eventually be forced to start negotiations on Kyiv's terms.

With the help of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, it is also planned:

to establish a no-fly zone over Kyiv-held territories;
to attack Transnistria;
to attack strategic infrastructure facilities in Russia's northern regions.
British strategists intend to prepare such a scenario by May 2024. The plan will be put into effect against the backdrop of a significant weakening of positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and Russia's successful offensive deeper into the territory of Ukraine, the source noted.

That's not news

On December 15, former Ukrainian Ambassador to the UK Vadim Prystaiko announced a similar plan.

Some countries consider sending their military forces to Ukraine, and "the UK is first on that list," he said. According to Prystaiko, Great Britain will send troops to Ukraine in the event of a "catastrophic development of the war.”

Let us also recall what former NATO chief Anders Rasmussen said in July. Individual NATO member states may consider stationing troops in Ukraine if other members or the alliance as a whole do not provide significant security guarantees to Kyiv, Rasmussen said. Poland can be such a country, he said.

NATO Expeditionary Force ready
British Minister for European Affairs Leo Docherty paid a visit to Poland on January 31. The visit was not incidental at all. It is Poland that stations British troops as part of a multinational NATO group. There are eight such groups in total on the border with Russia. This is a ready-made and well-coordinated expeditionary force.

In Poland, the UK cooperates with Croatia and Romania. Docherty visited the squadron based at the Bemowo Piskie base in Orzysz where 150 British troops serve.

The hour is near
The plan could be used, since the authority of the United States and NATO in the world depends on the outcome of the military conflict in Ukraine. The West has acquired its assets in the country — primarily black soil. Ukraine is getting all of its aid as loans, and Kyiv will have to pay them back.

As Ukraine is running out of soldiers, the only way to "change the rules of the game” for Kyiv is to directly engage NATO forces. Until recently, NATO has been providing Ukraine with arms, intelligence, logistics and command support.

The following speaks against the implementation of the plan:

The deployment of the official military contingent of NATO countries in Ukraine will mean a declaration of war on Russia.
London and other capitals of the "brave” may turn into a nuclear wasteland 15 minutes after the troops occupy the right bank of the Dnieper.
If the West really wanted (or could) to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia, it would have deployed its contingent in Ukraine even before the start of the special military operation, Yet, there are no NATO troops and NATO support for Ukraine has been declining steadily.
This suggests that the West does not want Ukraine to win for security reasons (Russia is a strong nuclear power), and there is a consensus on this issue among Western politicians.

The military may develop a variety of plans. They may even plan to deploy a NATO contingent on the Moon (to counter Russia's threat there too), but it is policy makers who give it the go-ahead.

Musk denies providing Starlink to Russia
Ukraine has claimed that the Russian military is using the satellite connection devices on the frontline
Musk denies providing Starlink to Russia

SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has denied supplying his Starlink satellite internet network to Russian troops. The service has been widely used by the Ukrainian army during its fight with Russia.

“A number of false news reports claim that SpaceX is selling Starlink terminals to Russia,” Musk said on his platform X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday. “To the best of our knowledge, no Starlinks have been sold directly or indirectly to Russia.”

Asked if Starlink terminals can be somehow activated from Russia, Musk replied that “Starlink satellites will not close the link in Russia.”

Musk’s comments come in response to Kiev’s claims that Russian forces are using Starlink satellite service on the battlefield. Ukraine’s Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense (GUR) said on Sunday that it had intercepted a conversation between Russian soldiers. It released a 15-second recording, in which a person can be heard saying in Russian “Starlink is working, we have internet [access].”


GUR spokesman Andrey Yusov claimed that Russian troops are “systematically” using Starlink terminals. The military-themed news website Defense One cited Ukrainian sources this week as saying that Kiev’s forces first detected the use of Starlink by Russia “several months ago.”

Moscow has not commented on the allegations. SpaceX released a separate statement on Thursday, saying that the company “does not do business of any kind with the Russian government or its military” and has “never sold or marketed Starlink in Russia, nor has it shipped equipment to locations in Russia.”

Musk donated some 20,000 Starlink terminals to Kiev shortly after Russia launched its military operation in the neighboring state in February 2022.

The billionaire, however, said that he had refused Ukraine’s request to activate Starlink service in Crimea, explaining that Kiev’s attacks on the Russian Black Sea Fleet would lead to more escalation. While pledging support for Ukraine, Musk has repeatedly said that he favors a peaceful resolution of the conflict

Kremlin feared Carlson would face ‘persecution’

The West is becoming increasingly unpredictable and “could stoop to anything,” Dmitry Peskov has claimed

Moscow was concerned that US journalist Tucker Carlson could face “persecution” even before his interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has revealed.

In an interview released by journalist Pavel Zarubin on Sunday, Peskov noted that it was Carlson who asked Putin for a sit-down, adding that the president quickly agreed to the idea.

However, the spokesman admitted that “there was some concern that there would be some kind of persecution of poor Carlson even before the interview,” given that the West “is becoming increasingly unpredictable and could stoop to anything.”

He noted that the journalist is no stranger to this kind of pressure, saying Carlson is smart enough to know that “emotions would run high.” The interview, however, brought the reporter a lot of popularity, according to the spokesman.

Peskov also responded to critics who accused the journalist of not asking Putin tough questions. “Western viewers were lucky that Carlson did not escalate… If the questions had been extremely sharp, so would have been the answers. Some might not have liked that.”

The spokesman noted that Putin’s interview has generated a great deal of interest in the West despite US attempts to downplay its significance. Officials in Washington, he added, “don’t want Putin’s true worldview to be accessible to ordinary Americans… but this cannot be suppressed.”

Carlson released the interview with Putin on Thursday. He had previously stated that his duty is “to inform people,” especially when it comes to the Ukraine conflict, since many Americans have little knowledge about “a war they are implicated in.”

In the two-hour interview, which has garnered tens of millions of views, the Russian leader described in detail how modern Ukraine – which he called an “artificial state” – was established by the actions of the Soviet authorities. He also explained that the conflict between Moscow and Kiev is rooted in the Western-backed coup in 2014 and the Ukrainian government’s campaign to suppress the population of Donbass. The region, along with two other former Ukrainian territories, voted to join Russia in 2022.

The interview drew sharp criticism in the West. Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called Carlson a “useful idiot” who parrots Putin’s narrative. Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson – who has been accused of derailing Ukraine peace talks early on in the conflict – called the reporter a “traitor to journalism.”

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has called the US and Western reaction to the interview “hysteria” which “reveals the mendacity of their approach.”

Giving Kiev more money ‘insane’ and ‘cruel’ – Tucker Carlson

Continued Western aid will only result in more dead Ukrainians, not Russian defeat, the journalist has predicted
Giving Kiev more money ‘insane’ and ‘cruel’ – Tucker Carlson

US senators who intend to send an additional $60 billion in aid to Ukraine will be voting for the continued slaughter of Ukrainians, since the country cannot win against Russia, even with Western assistance, US journalist Tucker Carlson said on Monday.

The Senate voted 66-33 this week to overcome a procedural hurdle, clearing the way for an international security package to be put to a vote, potentially as soon as Wednesday. The roughly $95 billion emergency spending proposal is meant for Israel, Taiwan and Ukraine. Even if passed, local media expect the bill to have a hard time passing the House, where Republican opposition to funding Kiev is stronger than in the Senate.

Carlson, a long-time skeptic of Washington’s Ukraine policy, which he believes to be short-sighted and self-destructive, blasted the proposed legislation ahead of his interview with JD Vance, the junior US senator from Ohio. He argued that anyone paying attention has been aware of Kiev’s desperate position for months.

”Ukraine doesn’t have the industrial capacity – neither does NATO or the United States. And it doesn’t have the people – Russia has 100 million more in population than Ukraine does. And that means that further support from the West for the Ukrainian military only means more dead Ukrainians and a further degraded Western economy,” he claimed.


Given these facts, pushing for more funding is “insane,” “cruel” and morally indefensible, Carlson added.

The interview with Vance was about the Republican senator’s theory that the bill, promoted by the Democrats, is meant to undermine Donald Trump’s attempt to secure a second term. It would authorize spending for longer than just 2024, so whoever wins in November will be legally obliged to keep financing the Ukrainian military, even if doing so would undermine the goal of winding down the conflict diplomatically, he believes.

Senator Vance has warned that the bill, if signed into law, could potentially be used to justify yet another impeachment of Trump. He explained his reasoning in The American Conservative and a memo he sent to fellow Republican lawmakers.

During the interview with Carlson, Vance agreed with the journalist’s assessment of the situation in Ukraine and claimed that privately, Democratic senators agree with it too.

”They say effectively that they want to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian drop of blood,” he said.

”I think if you really ask these guys, they’d recognize that this is not in the best interest of Ukraine. This is fundamentally in the interests of military contractors and people who think that America’s most pressing challenge is to defeat the Russians,” he added, stressing that he was not one of those people.
 
Russia Unveils Drone Neural Network to Detect NATO Equipment in Special Op Zone


Various types of drones currently in service with the Russian Armed Forces are designed for many purposes, including surveillance and precision strikes.
The Russian company Hardberry-Rusfactor has developed a multipurpose neural network for all types of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), will enable the identification of Ukrainian military objects in the special operation zone, General Director Alexey German told Sputnik.
"We has mapped out a software called NAKA, which is actually a neural network that recognizes сertain objects, including enemy equipment," he said.

In particular, he explained, the neural network is capable of accurately detecting the Ukrainian army's Western-supplied military hardware, such as Leopard tanks and Bradley infantry fighting vehicles.

According to the general director of Hardberry-Rusfactor, the software of the network is installed on the equipment that receives the video recorded by the Russian drones equipped with special cameras.
"For example, an UAV transmits a relevant footage to the operator’s console, where NAKA highlights a certain area of the terrain in green and writes: This is a Leopard tank (or a Bradley armed vehicle) with the 85 percent accuracy," German said, adding that the network also can determine exact whereabouts of the aforementioned vehicles.

He did not rule out the possibility of NAKA being used for peaceful purposes in the future, such as being installed on agricultural drones to search for stranded animals.
The drones are used in the Russian special operation zone to target various Ukrainian military assets, including howitzers, armored vehicles, multiple launch rocket systems, as well as command and observation posts.
