Great! +4 in that category is awesome. The KA-52 is from 2011 and Russia has 137 units according to Wikipedia. The Mi-8 is from 1967 and Russia has 788 units, maybe 786 now if Wikipedia wasn’t quick to update.

“Kremlin raises financial incentives to over $23000 amid military recruitment shortages #Ukraine“
https://bsky.app/profile/amplifyukraine.eu/post/3ll3gvqnsgz24
Wondering how much it helps to increase the compensation? For the vast majority, $23,000 is already a lot of money. And according to economic utility theory, as well as human experience, the utility decreases quite quickly with more money, so it would have to be a substantial increase for it to make a difference. But then, on the other hand, a psychological effect can kick in, making it feel unreal. Many people who buy lottery tickets dream “if I won $100,000” rather than 250 million, because it becomes a more realistic dream.

Vlad Vexler:
“Does Kremlin actually have KOMPROMAT on Trump?”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krEGUTVkOPg
I have not seen that particular one by Vexler, but other movies. Is the answer “no” because what is happening is explained by Trump having narcissistic personality disorder?
Unfortunately, I haven’t had the chance to see it myself yet but I thought it might be interesting.
But I suspect he doesn’t believe in kompromat, he links, among other things, to this:
https://inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyle/investigated-trump-why-pro-putin-sex-tape-3566497
Since Trump has been to Moscow several times and moved in those circles, Putin probably has kompromat on Trump. But it’s probably not the kompromat that drives Trump, it’s rather the narcissism as you mentioned.
“A very interesting observation about Trump and Yanukovych, Ukraine’s runaway president till 2014: They had the same PR guy – Paul Manafort. He helped them both, convicted felons, clean up their public image. From Moscow with love, and a fresh PR spin for Kremlin-friendly goons.”

Positive news from Kenneth Gregg about knocked out radar stations in Crimea.
23.03.2025 evening update. As you all know, we have been hitting hard in Crimea in the past few days. I received earlier information about the results, but I didn’t dare to trust the information even though I got it from a person who has never exaggerated before, now the info was so positive that I hesitated to publish it. Now it has been confirmed, so here it comes:
– 3 PANTSIR -S1
– 2 S-300 VM
– 2 PODLYOT
– 2 NIOBIUM-SV
– 3 KASTA 2 E2
These radar systems are intended for surveillance and tracking of Ukrainian drones and missiles at different altitudes, and their value exceeds 500 million USD.
Additionally, they knocked out 1 MI-8 helicopter and a transport/tugboat in the process.
So, what does this mean practically, well, a lot. Even before the outbreak of the war, Russia had difficulty producing new radar systems, and this situation has not improved despite the Kremlin allocating a lot of money to the defense industry. When you can’t produce new ones, you have to move existing systems to the units that have lost theirs. This is why the Russian air defense is leaking like a sieve. Replacing 12 stations in Crimea becomes almost an impossible task. Furthermore, the time is approaching when our F16s and Mirages can start operating undisturbed at the fronts.
The Ukrainian attack was a combination of our new UAVs and fiber-optic-controlled FPV drones fired from our drone boats. This caught the Russians off guard, and the operation was successful. Although the Russians have concentrated quite a bit of air defense here, now that the radar is lost, the air defense becomes blind. This will open up for more attacks on the repair hubs the Russians have concentrated in Crimea. Most of the weapons have been sent to Kursk, as well as troop units and ammunition. Now that these hubs are vulnerable, we will see the result also in Kursk. The same principle applies to Kherson Oblast as to Crimea, the Russians are starting to run out of resources in these two districts.
Another thing that arises now is the time window for our airplanes to knock out the Kerch Bridge. To destroy the bridge, we need to conduct air raids, without radar systems, the Russians will have a hard time stopping us. I now see this as just a matter of time, the bridge will be destroyed.
The Kremlin has guaranteed that they can defend Crimea, but high officials, officers, and businessmen have already moved their families away from Crimea. Incoming summer tourism can already be written off, which will lead to significant economic losses for those who stay.
The Kremlin now knows that we can hit hard in Crimea, which would have consequences on other fronts as well. The absolutely most important front for the Kremlin is Pokrovsk, and the tide has already turned in our favor there. If Crimea starts leaking like a sieve now, the Kremlin must negotiate a ceasefire as soon as possible. The question is how well-informed the tour guide is about reality or if he is fed with narratives about how well the war is going. At least Western media spreads this nonsense daily.
I have been considered an optimist in my updates, but as I said, I found it hard to believe this when I received the information. Therefore, I have been more of a pessimist than a realist, especially when our defense forces can carry out such operations and no one believes in them.
SLAVA UKRAINI
Hope his information is correct!
It would be perfect if he can continue to clean up and then release some flights.
Is there any other source confirming? Sounds really good. And if we reach the point where flights can operate undisturbed, can’t we without much risk lend out some pilots who want to gain work experience?
I haven’t found much but this is still an indication that something has happened at least.

Now it has been updated, the rounded numbers are the same as the last time it was updated (the 13th) but if you hover the mouse over the graph, you can see that his popularity has decreased slightly from -4.4 to -4.6. The graph is indeed a kind of forecast based on several weighted surveys, so it should be seen more as a guideline than exact figures.

Yes, they are cheap and mass-produced – almost 500 units annually is quite a lot, and UA is now also manufacturing its own 155mm ammunition.

Interesting that Ukraine’s production of the actual piece is so much higher than the foreign chassis they want to use for the self-propelled type. Europe must shift into a higher gear.
