Bloomberg writes:

The move to send F-16 has been bedeviled by delays, questions around spare parts, and a language barrier between pilots and their foreign trainers.

The result is that Ukraine may be able to field a squadron of F-16s, anything from 15 to 24 jets, well short of the 300 its leaders have called for. Kiev expects to get six F-16s this summer and up to 20 by the end of the year.

The challenges have been so severe that they’ve raised doubts about the wisdom of sending the jets to Ukraine and whether doing so now amounts to a very costly show of support to Zelensky.

“People shouldn’t expect miracles” from the F-16s against Russia, said Jim Townsend.

A NATO official listed three main issues weighing on planners’ minds. First, the planes must be reconfigured depending on their task. Second, Ukraine doesn’t have many runways required for the F-16s, or shelters to protect them.

Third, the logistics of supporting the planes are complex, from the need for spare parts to maintenance.

🔻1. #Karlovka:
🟡Positional battles in the area of dachas and along the shore of the Karlovskoye Reservoir. Minor progress in favour of the RFAF.

🔻2. #Yasnobrodovka:
🟡The RFAF continue to clean the pocket between #Yasnobrodovka and the shore of the Karlovskoye Reservoir.
🟡In the area of the village, fights are still ongoing.
🟡From the south, it is not yet possible to advance to #Novosyolovka1st.

🔻3. #Novosyolovka1st:
🟡The RFAF made significant progress from the north and reached the outskirts of the villlage, occupying several houses.
🟡There is an advance to the northeastern outskirts of the village from #Novopokrovskoye.
🟡The supply road of the garrison is under partial fire control.

🔻4. #Yevgenovka:
🟡The village is already almost completely under the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, but the cleanup has not yet been completed.
🟡There is some progress towards the village of #Volchya and to the west of #Yevgenovka. The front continues to slowly creep westward.
🟡There are some advances in the direction of #Progress.

🔻5. #Vozdvizhenka:
🟡The RFAF continue to put pressure from #Novoalexandrovka, taking several landings and positions.
🟡The village itself, has not been entered yet.

🔻6. #Kalinovo:
🟡Positional battles to the south and southwest of the village.
🟡There is no serious coverage of #Kalinovo yet. #Rozovka also has no serious progress, despite the growing crisis of the AFU in the area of #NyuYork.

📌 In general, the RFAF retain the operational initiative in the #Avdeyevka direction, which is one of the most problematic for the AFU.
