Based on missile fragments, the strikes on Belgorod today were likely done using 🇺🇸 AGM-88 High Speed Anti-Radiation Missiles fired from Ukrainian fighter jets 🇺🇦 targeting radars for Russian missile defense systems near Belgorod Airport

Ukraine just initiated a media blackout on Kherson news. That’s what Kyiv does when it begins big military ops. The final push to liberate the city is beginning…now.

Shai's views might resonate with Lapid, who has criticized Russia, but the Bennett/Netanyahu bloc will be more intransigent and delay arms transfers
Private PoopyPants said:
Not a great development for Ukraine. These are highly capable precise strike long-range munitions. 500kg warhead. Ballistic trajectory makes them much more difficult to shoot down. They are probably better than anything Russia has used thus far. Russia has the similar Iskander missile system but it showed to be very imprecise and they didn't appear to have very many of them.
I think this is likely the reason for rush to upgrade the Uke air defenses.Private PoopyPants said:

A summary of why Tajiks shot Russians near Belgorod yesterday (30+ people died)
— Angry Cossack (@auto_glam) October 16, 2022
1) Russian lieutenant-colonel Lapin said on the parade-ground that war is sacred
2) Tajiks said that sacred war is muslims vs infidels only
3) Lapin said that Allah is a coward
4) ...(Lapin died too) https://t.co/NzCWstOeAy
"There is no longer any doubt where Israel should stand in this bloody conflict," wrote Shai. "The time has come for Ukraine to receive military aid as well, just as the U.S. and NATO countries provide."
