Fighter jets are 'worthless' over Ukraine, and it's a sign of what US pilots and troops may face in future battles By Christopher Woody Thu, 16 March 2023 Ukraine is estimated to have lost more than 60 aircraft and Russia more than 70, according to Gen. James Hecker, the commander of US Air Forces in Europe . Hecker told reporters at the Air and Space Forces Association symposium that Russia's larger air force still has jets it could devote to the war, as does Ukraine - but there is an issue. "The problem is both of the Russian, as well as the Ukrainian success in integrated air and missile defense, have made much of those aircraft worthless. They're not doing a whole lot because they can't go over and do close air support," Hecker said. Long-range sensors and missiles allow Russian aircraft to target Ukrainian aircraft behind the front lines, further limiting Ukrainian operations, but Kyiv's jets continue to launch strikes on Russian forces, often relying on US weaponry to do so. As a result, neither side is able to provide close air support to its troops on the front line. US pilots and ground troops may face a similar situation in future wars, US Air Force leaders say. After a year of fighting, neither the Russian nor Ukrainian air forces have been able to take control of the skies over Ukraine. This has severely limited the role that fighter jets have played in the conflict, and it's a preview of what US troops could face in the future, US Air Force officials say. While Russian and Ukrainian aircraft are still active, each side's air-defense weapons - such as major Soviet-era anti-aircraft systems like the S-300 or newer shoulder-fired missiles like the US-made Stinger - have forced the other to make tactical adaptations, such as launching less-accurate rocket attacks from longer ranges rather than sending aircraft to provide close air support over the front lines. Ukraine is estimated to have lost more than 60 aircraft and Russia more than 70, according to Gen. James Hecker, the commander of US Air Forces in Europe. Hecker told reporters at the Air and Space Forces Association symposium that Russia's larger air force still has jets it could devote to the war, as does Ukraine - but there is an issue. "The problem is both of the Russian, as well as the Ukrainian success in integrated air and missile defense, have made much of those aircraft worthless. They're not doing a whole lot because they can't go over and do close air support," Hecker said. Long-range sensors and missiles allow Russian aircraft to target Ukrainian aircraft behind the front lines, further limiting Ukrainian operations, but Kyiv's jets continue to launch strikes on Russian forces, often relying on US weaponry to do so. A anti-radiation missiles, which US engineers jury-rigged to operate with Ukraine's Soviet-designed jets, allow Ukrainian pilots to target Russian radars and anti-aircraft batteries and recently delivered US-made kits allow Ukrainian jets to launch gravity-dropped bombs from further away. Using those weapons and other assets, Ukraine's air force is able to do "a couple of strikes a day" at ranges "a little bit farther than HIMARS can get right now, but not real far out at all," Hecker said. The lack of close air support for Russian and Ukrainian troops and the thicket of air-defense weaponry preventing it is a departure from what US troops have faced in recent wars, according to Gen. Charles Brown, the US Air Force chief of staff. "We cannot predict the future of what kind of environment we're going to fight in, for one, but I fully expect it'll be much more contested," Brown said at the symposium on March 7. "The amount of close air support we will do will probably be less than we've done in the past, typically in the Middle East, because that environment was that we didn't have an air threat or a surface-to-air threat." Asked about Hecker's comments, Brown said that it was "spot on" to say that "in a contested environment it's going to be tough to execute the close air support." "Close air support in a contested environment, that's not what we do, no matter who you are," Brown added. --------------------------- What the TV "military analysts" are peddling on TV shows, is completely devoid of military tactical knowledge, rationale or logic-but if you know whom to listen to and when, then you will understand why the Russian operation looks and feels very different to the western foreign operations of yore...

So you support Bangsamoro secession from Philippines right? Or is it okay for you to take away their "Right to Exist", Huh? Besides, no one was trying to take away Ukraine's right to exist. Ukraine was trying to take away the Donetsk Republic's right to exist. Luhansk Republic's right to exist. They are 90% Russian speakers there, they are Russians, and Ukraine was banning Russian language and now banning Russian Orthodox Church. Isn't trying to ban someone's language and religion trying to stop them from existing? It's called "democide" and the Ukrainian Nazis are all for it. 75%+ of Ukrainian men fled Ukraine instead of fighting. Those who stayed are hardcore Nazis who want to kill all Russian speakers in Ukraine. All the soldiers admit when the war is over they don't want to allow the 2.8 million Russian speaking refugees to come back to the Donbass. They all say this. Even Zelensky made a joke in 2015, that the Banderites wanted war with Russia so they could steal Russian property like they stole Jewish property during WW2. Ukrainian nationalists view Nazi Stepan Banderas as the founding father of Ukraine. Yet now Zelensky is building statues to Stepan Banderas in Kiev, to a man he called an evil Nazi who killed thousands of Jews in the holocaust, now he builds his statue.

It was first used in the Sudan Campaign against the Mahdi. One thing I doubt that the Ukrainian soldiers will have to endure will be the "Seam Squirrel" or body louse. I remember my paternal grandfather Arthur Kelly showing me the scars on his body caused by lice bites (remember the body louse takes much more blood per bite than its cousin, the head louse). However, they still appear to have mud and rats. Grandfather told some pretty grim tales about both of them!
