Look like the US is really stepping it up...new planes to Ukraine air force! "The declared sale value was one billion Kazakhstani tenge, said the Post, or $2.26 million, equalling an average value for each plane of $19,300." US purchased 81 Soviet-era combat aircraft from Russian ally Kazakhstan, Kyiv Post reports. Kazakhstan, which is renewing its aircraft fleet, auctioned off 117 Soviet-era fighters and bombers, including MiG-31 interceptors, MiG-27 fighter-bombers, MiG-29 fighters and Su-24… pic.twitter.com/FyvxFb5x3i — Clash Report (@clashreport) April 29, 2024

Lowly Houthis spank Xiden Houthis Down US MQ-9 Reaper Drone For the Third Time Since November The Houthis also struck a British-owned oil tanker by Dave DeCamp April 28, 2024 at 6:10 pm ET Categories NewsTags Yemen A military spokesman for Yemen’s Houthis announced on Saturday that their forces downed a US MQ-9 Reaper drone that was operating over Yemen and was carrying out a “hostile mission.” US officials confirmed to CBS News that a US Air Force MQ-9 drone “crashed” in Yemen early Friday morning and said they’re investigating the cause. MQ-9s are estimated to cost $30 million each, and Friday’s incident marked the third time the Houthis downed one since November. Besides losing $90 million in MQ-9 drones, the US has also used about $1 billion in munitions in its new bombing campaign in Yemen and other operations in the Middle East that started due to Israel’s slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza. The Houthis, officially known as Ansar Allah, also said they struck the MV Andromeda Star, a British-owned oil tanker, with missiles. The damage to the vessel was confirmed by US Central Command, which said on Friday that the “MV Andromeda Star reports minor damage but is continuing its voyage.” The Houthis began targeting British and American commercial shipping after the US and the UK started bombing Yemen on January 12. The Yemeni group initially said it only targeted Israeli-linked shipping to protest the siege on Gaza. Hundreds of US and British missile strikes on Yemen have done nothing to deter the Houthis, who insist the campaign will only stop once there’s a ceasefire in Gaza. The US backed a brutal Saudi/UAE war against the Houthis from 2015-2022 that involved heavy airstrikes and a blockade, and the Houthis only became more of a capable fighting force during that time. The war killed at least 377,000 people, with more than half dying of starvation and disease caused by the siege. A ceasefire between the Houthis and Saudis has held relatively well since April 2022, but new US sanctions are now blocking the implementation of a lasting peace deal.

Around this time last year, the daily losses of RuZZian soldiers were around 400-500. This latest winter offensive by RuZZia saw the daily losses climb to around 900. Just recently it seems RuZZia hit a local high of 1,320 troops lost in a single day. To be sure, these numbers are being posted by Ukraine, so they have to be taken with a grain of salt. But I think it's more noteworthy to show just how much RuZZia has ramped up their offensive efforts. It should be obvious why. They want to take advantage of a closing window of opportunity, the window that was opened when Speaker Mike Johnson was holding up aid to Ukraine. It is unknown whether RuZZia will continue intensifying their efforts when aid finally arrives, and Ukraine can even the odds with the resumption of U.S. military aid. But as we have all seen, weakness only emboldened the enemy, and the U.S. demonstrated plenty of it. Thanks PooTin cucks! Thanks MAGA! Thanks Cruella de Vil!
