The Ukrainian army slowly but inexorably recovered the occupied territories. In two weeks, they have retaken seven towns and nearly 35 square miles. So far, they have done this without using a ton of NATO weapons. Is working. But what is the strategy?
The answer is that Kyiv is in no hurry.
In each attack so far, the Ukrainian forces have been judicious in the number of tanks and troops they have launched.
George Barros of the Institute for the Study of War in the United States calls it a “missile game.
Engineers from the UK’s leading combat air industry partners have released further details about work underway to deliver the UK’s first flying combat air demonstrator in a generation.
Experts from BAE Systems, Rolls-Royce, Leonardo UK, MBDA and the Ministry of Defense (MOD) are collaborating with a number of UK small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to develop the technologies needed to deliver the supersonic stealth fighter aircraft again. UK generation, the Tempest.
After a week of heavy fighting, the real tests of the Kiev counter-offensive lie ahead, with Ukrainian troops some distance from Russia’s main defensive line and the bulk of the forces prepared for the attack still on standby.
Ukraine struck in two areas along the southeastern front last week as the main phase of its long-awaited operation began, reporting seven villages retaken but also suffering losses, including tanks and Western infantry fighting vehicles.
The men of the Ukrainian 37th Brigade were newly trained and equipped with Western-supplied weapons. They had been tasked with an initial offensive through Russian-occupied territory in the early days of a long-awaited counter-offensive.

The soldiers said that mortars went off around them within 20 minutes of their June 5 advance south of Velyka Novosilka in the southeastern Donetsk region. A 30-year-old soldier known as Lumberjack saw two of the men from his vehicle bleeding profusely; one lost an arm while he was screaming for his family from him.

News first broke just over a week ago that a former career American intelligence officer is alleging the U.S. government is concealing a decades-long top-secret ‘crash retrieval’ program that has overseen the recovery of otherworldly flying machines and their pilots. There remains no hard evidence available to the public to substantiate these claims. Yet the U.S. military and intelligence community’s shadowy crash retrieval programs are a very real thing, although the ones we know about are focused on foreign, not alien technology.
As the U.S. pledges to provide more insights into investigations of military-reported cases of unidentified anomalous phenomena — or UAP, the modern term for UFOs — the office leading that charge and its closest international partners are being a bit less forthcoming about how they’re working together to explore unexplained encounters.
