Read previewNew rules from Ukraine's allies about how it can use weapons they've supplied could have a strong impact on its long-awaited F-16s. That's because Ukraine now has permission to use weaponry given by its allies to hit targets on Russian soil. George Barros, a Russian military expert at the US-based Institute for the Study of War, said this will make the F-16s more effective. AdvertisementEven so, the experts said that the F-16s will make a difference for Ukraine, without being a total game changer on their own. The jets will help replenish lost aircraft, deter Russian jets, and act as air defenses.

Read previewIf there is one place Ukraine is winning in the war against Russia, it's Crimea, experts say. Ukrainians have since referred to the Black Sea peninsula as "occupied Crimea," and Zelenskyy has continually stated that any peace agreement must see it returned to Ukraine. Meanwhile, Ukraine, which lost its traditional naval fleet during the annexation of Crimea, has targeted Russia's Black Sea fleet with great success using sea drones. Ukraine even claimed to have sunk the Black Sea Fleet's flagship, the Moskva. "Crimea allows for power projection over the rest of the Black Sea.

The event helped train the Air Force to use roads in case runways aren't an option. But that didn't stop the US Air Force from using the roads to land several aircraft — including one of its biggest planes. An MQ-9 Reaper with the 2nd Special Operations Squadron lands on Highway 287 during Exercise Agile Chariot near Rawlins, Wyoming, April 30, 2023. Air Force planes — including the MC-130J and Warthog — have landed on stretches of highway in recent years in places like Michigan, Latvia, and Sweden. And the Air Force Special Operations Command has even explored modifications to the MC-130J to allow it to land in water.
☆ The US Air Force is stripping most of the identifying information off of its biggest planes
  + stars: | 2023-03-05 | by ( Thomas Novelly | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
US Air Mobility Command has ordered its refueling and cargo planes to obscure their identifying markings. "At the end of the day, it's still very clearly an Air Force plane unless you're going to start painting them white or something," Paladino said. A US Air Force C-130 with most of its markings removed at Rafael Hernández International Airport in Puerto Rico on February 25. Minihan's memo, which was leaked in late January, highlights the mentality and war footing on which he's placed Air Mobility Command, which has historically been used as a support organization for combat operations. Air Mobility Command played a major role in the Afghanistan evacuation in 2021 and continues to help deliver weapons and aid to Ukraine in its fight against Russia.
