Tiberius Posted May 16, 2023 Author Share Posted May 16, 2023 Terrorism The Ukrainian capital Kyiv has been targeted by further Russian air attacks, described by one official as "exceptional in density". Ukraine said all 18 missiles were shot down and footage showed air defences destroying targets over the city. But Russia said its attack - which used drones and missiles - had hit all its targets. Moscow has stepped up its air campaign in recent weeks, ahead of an expected Ukrainian offensive. The air raid alert sounded at around 02:30 local time (23:30 GMT Monday) and was lifted two hours later in the eighth attack to hit the capital this month. An unusually high number of loud explosions was heard in the city centre, as authorities told residents in online messages that air defence had been activated. The head of Ukraine's armed forces, Valerii Zaluzhny, said Russia attacked Kyiv from the north, south and east and that 18 air, sea and land-based missiles had been used. Serhiy Popko, head of the Ukrainian capital's military administration, described the barrage as being the "maximum number of attack missiles in the shortest period of time". "According to preliminary information, the vast majority of enemy targets in the airspace of Kyiv were detected and destroyed," he added. Gen Zaluzhny said that included nine Kalibr cruise missiles, which were launched from ships in the Black Sea, and three land-based missiles. He added that Kyiv also destroyed six Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, which are capable of reaching speeds of more than 11,000kmh (7,000mph). Russia has claimed in the past that these could not be taken out by any of the world's air defence systems. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-65606385 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 All we are saying. . . . . . . . . . . . . . HMM: Putin and Zelensky ‘agree to meet African leaders to discuss peace plan.’ Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky have both agreed to separate meetings with a delegation of African heads of state to discuss a possible plan to end the war in Ukraine, according to South Africa’s president. Cyril Ramaphosa spoke with his Russian and Ukrainian counterparts by phone over the weekend, a spokesperson for his office said. They agreed to host ‘an African leaders’ peace mission’ in Moscow and Kyiv respectively. The leaders of Zambia, Senegal, Congo, Uganda and Egypt plan to join Mr Ramaphosa on the mission, the president said. He added that Mr Putin and Mr Zelensky gave him the go-ahead to ‘commence the preparations’. No details were provided on the possible parameters of the talks. Mr Zelensky has previously said he would not consider a peace deal to end the 15-month war until Russian forces withdraw fully from Ukrainian territory. UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres was briefed on the African delegation’s planned meetings and ‘welcomed the initiative’, Mr Ramaphosa said. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12090289/Putin-Zelensky-agree-meet-African-leaders-discuss-peace-plan.html . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be something. Hard to not notice this was pushed by countries with very little sway/alignment in the WEF, NATO arenas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck to them! Hopefully they're all actually impartial mediators. Though it was sorta funny watching China muddle around like it hadn't picked a side. Or pretend like they wouldn't benefit immensely from a decisive Russian victory. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted May 18, 2023 Author Share Posted May 18, 2023 Good old Patriots (and other system) doing their job. What a great system. From the Washington Post: Ukraine’s air force said it destroyed 29 of 30 missiles and four drones during the overnight strikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a guy who used to teach Sidewinder, and surface to air systems that Patriot was based on, I had very frequent dealings with that company as they used to produce the graphics used in my lecture. They build Patriot, Sidewinder and Amraam. Hard to find a company that US air assets would consider more a contributor to our defense and "freedom." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
