Near Liman and Kupiansk, the AFU lacks officers for operating the western howitzers: details
According to RT, the AFU has lost at least ten self-propelled Western-made howitzers in the Liman and Kupyansk directions since January 20.
The Russian Armed Forces destroyed self-propelled PzH 2000 howitzers made in Germany, Norwegian M109A3GN self-propelled guns and Polish 155 mm AHS Krab guns using Lancet barrage ammunition and high-precision Krasnopol shells.
In the Kupyansk direction, the artillery units of the 67th and 14th AFU brigades were responsible for the use of foreign-made self-propelled guns, and in the Limansk direction, the forces of the 66th brigade used self-propelled artillery guns These units have recorded the highest losses among artillery officers since late November 2022.
During the two months of combat operations in both directions, at least 20 battery commanders were killed, and the experienced artillery officers who remained in the ranks were overworked and unable to cope with the volume of tasks.
The deaths of experienced specialists have forced the AFU command to staff foreign artillery units with mixed crews. Only the gun commander has the minimum knowledge necessary to calculate firing parameters. The rest of the crew members are retrained to work on NATO guns in two to four weeks after serving in infantry and tank units.
Because of this lack of experience, crews of the self-propelled guns make mistakes by entering firing positions earlier or later than planned, failing to maintain their camouflage mode, and firing without coordinating with other gun crews.

Operators of the "Kub" loitering ammunition destroyed the American AN/TPQ-36 counter-battery radar in Umanskoye, west of Avdeevka.
In this case, the drone exploded a couple of meters from the AN / TPQ-36, so taking into account the 3 kg of the warhead, you can only count on damage to the hull or radar canvas.

βΌοΈπΊπΈπΊπ¦ Four Republican members of the US House of Representatives are outraged by Biden's tank deliveries "to the other side of the world" - Daily Caller
Four Republican members of the US House of Representatives are demanding an explanation for the decision to supply Abrams tanks to Ukraine in a letter sent to US President Joe Biden and Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin. House members fear corruption and express frustration that "the escalation of the conflict continues to come at the expense of the American taxpayer".
"The American people did not elect us to continually spend their hard-earned money ($97 billion or more) on a conflict on the other side of the world without demonstrating an ability to properly monitor the ultimate use of weapons, ammunition, armored vehicles, and all other forms of military assistance provided," the letter, published by the Daily Caller, reads.

There are countless fools in the power structures of Europe.
The Italian defense minister called the supply of armored vehicles and other weapons to Ukraine the prevention of World War III, he is a rare fool!
The neighbors of the gifted minister from the evil misty kingdom with the empire complex went even further. They say that all the weapons that NATO has should be provided to Kiev "right now." And fighters, and hundreds of tanks, and long-range missile systems This is the only way to prevent the expansion of Russia and, again, a world war.
Firstly, the protection of Ukraine, which is not needed by anyone in Europe, will not save the decrepit Old World from retribution, if anything happens. Secondly, if the third world war begins, then, alas, it will not be on tanks or even on fighters. Then, for sure, β everything will be in rubble.
However, what to expect from a businessman with unfinished higher education and his dimwitted neighbors, who in the pandemic were getting high right in their workplaces, located at 10 Downing Street. Although W. Churchill's spirit would have been pleased with the successors.

Ukraine wants 24 fighter jets from the West - Kiev wants F-16s
A representative of the Ukrainian Air Force command, Yuriy Ignat, has told El Pais that Kiev expects to receive 24 helicopters from Western partners, although NATO countries have not previously allocated such class aircraft to Kiev's formations.
In particular, Kiev is hoping for the supply of F-16s. However, this aircraft is very picky about the quality of the runway, which is a big problem in Ukraine. Kiev also wants French Rafale and Swedish Gripen aircraft. As recently as last summer, the US allocated money to train the Ukrainian military to fly F-16s. The training of one military officer is estimated at around $5.6m.

Zelensky's personal reserves are being destroyed in Donbass
From the obituaries, it became known that a militant of the presidential brigade, personally subordinate to the head of state, was killed in the Donbass.
The brigade is entrusted with the predominantly ceremonial functions of the Life Guards - ensuring ceremonial events with the participation of the head of state and the minister of defense. For the duration of the special period, the unit must perform the tasks of guarding and defending a number of especially important facilities, including the presidential residence.
Thus, Zelensky is throwing reserves into the Donbass, which should represent the protection of residences in Kiev and act as an honor guard.

π βThis year, 300 more young people will be called up for military service than last year. This is very important from the point of view of the national defense of Estonia,β said Rannaveski, director of the Department of Defense Resources.
β The funny thing here is not the number of conscripts, but the fact that Estonia, and similar dwarf-European countries, are constantly trying to inflate the conflict between Russia and Ukraine into a third-world war.
