Re-play on Karma lehh.

Something was off, tank leading assault wasn’t a T-72 or T-90, their standard tanks of 76th GAAD. No, it was a 1950s-vintage T-55 fitted with crude anti-drone armor, assault ended in disaster for Russians as Ukrainian 118th Mechanized Brigade opened fire with artillery, anti-tank missiles and explosive first-person-view drones, destroying at least 11 Russian vehicles, including that 40-ton, four-person T-55 with its crude optics, 100-millimeter main gun and 200-millimeter-thick armor.

Despite mentioning countries their intention to donate the aircraft, the estimated cost initiatives about USD 1.683.5 bil, includ spare engines, simulators, manuals, tools, and various materials for operatting & sustaining F-16s.

From summary, it revealed Denmark will make available six F-16 Block 10, thirteen F-16 Block 15 aircraft, additional engines, & equipment valued at USD 87.5 million worth noting Danish not only one of the promoters of initiative to provide F-16s to Ukraine but also one of the few countries training pilots and technical personnel.

Regarding Danish F-16s, the Argentina Defense Ministers & Nordic country recently signed a letter of intent to purchase 24 F-16A/B MLU aircraft, an acquisition process is expected to be formalized in coming weeks with signing of a contract. Royal Danish Air Force upgraded a total of 61 F-16A/B aircraft to MLU standard, reducing to about 44 aircraft a few years ago & is replaced by 5th next F-35A Lightning II fighters.

For Norway, transfer is up to 22 F-16 Block 10/15 aircraft, engines, equipment, test benches, tools, maintenance materials, simulators, spare parts, manuals, & technical doc's, among others, original value is about USD 1.326 bil has made available with a couple of F-16s for training Ukrainian crews, for forming a core group of instructors to support the Danish effort.

In early mths, the Dutch was willing to transfer its F-16s to 3rd parties in order to release combat aircraft of Soviet origin, initiative did not come to life, a first step for the project of the previously mentioned European countries.
