Russian aggression has forced France to take steps to re-arm improve its ability to protect itself from conventional military threats, & committing resources to arm Ukraine is a key piece strategy, defense minister said during a meeting for hours.

Lecornu told France in 2024 intends manufacture 600 AASM guided bombs & production will double to 1,200 in 2025, and deliveries to Ukraine should continue as planned. One of most sophisticated bomb guidance systems manufactured, AASM or Armement Air-Sol Modulair is a guidance kit fitted to conventional bomb uses flip-out wings, a laser-seeker, inertial guidance, GPS positioning, movable control fins & a small rocket engine to fly a munition to precise locations.

Bomb performance depending on altitude of bomb drop, speed of aircraft, type of guidance available, & weight of munition, other factors. At maximum rated a “dumb” bomb fitted with an AASM guidance system could plant a powerful 250 kg munition within one meter of an aiming point, at a range in excess of 70 km.

Ukrainian Paratroopers May Have Surrounded Russian Soldiers In Kursk

A Russian propagandist claimed a cauldron has formed in Malya Loknya. Sound like Malaya.

Allegedly attacking between Russian positions on the bleeding edge of Ukraine’s two-week-old invasion of Russia’s Kursk Oblast, a Ukrainian air assault brigade has reportedly cut off and surrounded a Russian formation—and inspired excited chatter on social media. Primary source for Yuriy Podolyak, a popular Russian propagandist. While propagandists aren’t normally known for their truthfulness & reliability, it’s worth paying attention when they relay bad news about their clients. Recent changes along front line in Kursk “are not in our favor,” Podolyak wrote on Tues (today) 21/Aug. Elements of the Ukrainian 95th Air Assault Brigade are “trying to take control of Malya Loknya,” 8-miles north of town of Sudzha, Ukrainian latest news..

In assaulting Malya Loknya, the 95th Air Assault Brigade “bypassed our positions between this village and Russkiy Porechny, cut road between them, and thus took units of the 18th Motor Rifle Division into an operational encirclement,” Podolyak claimed. There is evidence the 95th Air Assault Brigade is in Malya Loknya. A Ukrainian drone tracked one of the brigade’s German-made Marder fighting vehicles firing on Russian positions in the village on Monday.

Ukraine Has its Foot on Gazprom’s Throat
The gas flow through Sudzha is 40-42 mil cubic meters per day, making it indispensable in the chain of Russian gas exports to Euro even more important to Gazprom, the gas giant financially humbled by the continent’s turn away from Kremlin energy. Given importance, the lack of control over Sudzha substantial risks to Russian. Gazprom now has no oversight of metering station where gas flow is measured, creating the risk of 3rd-party interference into metering equipment & preventing Gazprom personnel from performing standard maintenance procedures. In short, Gazprom no longer cab trust their system proves details a large part of its exports and it lose in its revenues.

The company is also obliged to provide metering documentation to Russian Customs and Fiscal Services so that it can pay tax. These issues alone could justify the declaration of force majeure and halting of gas flows, yet Gazprom has not taken this step. Analysts industry experts wondering Since company’s employees are no longer there, anyone can interfere with metering equipment, its executives can no longer rely on accuracy of the data produced. So why do they persist?

Financial implications for Gazprom a major factor. Company reported loss of 0.5tn rubles ($5.4bn) in first half of 2024 alone, $5bn a year in revenue from gas sales to European Union (EU).

Ukraine says it controls 100 Russian settlements after three-week incursion. Ukraine says it now controls 100 Russian settlements & 1,294 sq k/m  of Russian territory (500 square miles)

The incursion into the Kursk region began three weeks ago - last week, President Zelensky said Ukraine controlled more than 1,250 sq km of Russian territory. Ukraine's commander in chief Oleksandr Syrskyi also says Ukraine has captured 594 Russian soldiers

Earlier, Russia launched another wave of strikes on Ukraine, with four people killed, a day after one of its biggest air attacks of the war. Zelensky says Kyiv will "undoubtedly respond to Russia for this and all other attacks"

A lightening offensive into Russian territory - the deepest into Russia since Moscow launched its full-scale invasion in 2022. The surprise move is said to have involved 10,000 elite Ukrainian troops, and took ground quickly. But the pace of the advance has since slowed.

Kyiv's top military commander says Ukrainian troops now control 1,294 sq km (500 sq miles) of Russian territory and 100 settlements in the Kursk region - a larger area than Russia has gained in Ukraine so far this year. He also says the advance is continuing, and around 594 Russian servicemen have been captured there. Ukraine has previously said it has no intention of holding onto the territory and that one motivation for the incursion is to distract Russia's forces away from their own offensive in eastern Ukraine, which is continuing.

Russia has vowed to respond - the nature of that has not been specified, but the last two days have seen an increase in aerial attacks on Ukraine.
