Things fairly quiet over Eastern Europe and Baltics now for the night.



One Slovenian mil. and two Polish mil. aircraft over Poland.

Uh so is all that typical?

Not typical that two sub trackers are over Chesapeake Bay at the same time, but...

P3 appears to be returning from Spain.

Like I say, I observe the usual in order to recognize the unusual.


There has been higher than normal sub tracker (P3/P8) activity on US coasts lately.

Others have observed that as well.

Ivan may well be out there -- under the water -- and Vlad has indeed been making many big threats, so...

Russia-Ukraine war: List of key events, day 119
11h ago

Fighting

Russian shelling killed at least 15 civilians in the eastern Kharkiv region on Tuesday, including five in the city of Kharkiv, the regional governor has said, as Russia steps up attacks in the region.

Russian forces have pushed deeper into the Donbas region, with Ukrainian officials announcing the fall of the front-line village Toshkivka, near the strategically important cities of Severodonetsk and Lysychansk.

The UK’s defence ministry said it is highly likely that Russia is preparing to deploy a large number of reserves to the front lines of the Donbas.

A Ukrainian photojournalist and a soldier who was accompanying him when they were killed in the first weeks of Russia’s invasion appear to have been “coldly executed”, Reporters Without Borders has said, after an investigation into their deaths.

Russia Appears to Begin ‘Purge’ of Battlefield Commanders in Ukraine
Paul D. Shinkman - 40m ago

The Russian government appears to have fired top commanders for its invasion of Ukraine and replaced them with lower ranking officers, an unusual shake-up in the midst of an ongoing military operation that analysts say represents a “possible purge.”

The Institute for the Study of War in an analysis note published early Wednesday assessed that Russia will appoint a new commander for the headquarters overseeing operations in the region that includes Ukraine while also replacing the commander for the war itself – which Russian President Vladimir Putin insists on calling a “special military operation” – with a senior officer not currently commanding combat troops.



Similarly, the Kremlin appears to have fired the current head of the elite Russian airborne forces and replaced him with Colonel-General Mikhail Teplinsky, the current chief of staff for the military headquarters overseeing operations around central Russia – the region stretching from the Ural mountains to Siberia.

The institute, which has fastidiously documented Russian operations since its invasion on Feb. 24, assesses the moves indicate the Kremlin “may be in the process of radically reshuffling the command structure of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, indicating a possible purge of senior officers blamed for failures in Ukraine.”

“Such drastic rotations within the Russian military, if true, are not actions taken by a force on the verge of a major success and indicate ongoing dysfunction in the Kremlin’s conduct of the war,” the institute’s analysis note concluded.

These strategic retreats are important.

As long as civilians have been evacuated I would never allow my forces to be encircled for any reason even if they wish to take the chance.


Live to fight another day.
