Eurasia Daily, Russia-based journal, said Kyiv could have launched Patriot missiles, which have a range of up to 160km against high-altitude targets, from western side of the Dnipro River, it said. Ukrainian aviation expert Valeriy Romanenko told Ukrainian NV Radio believed Patriot missiles likely downed the 3-Russian jets.
"This was a situation there Russians were ... dropping up to 100 bombs in south. Three were flying together and got caught. They didn't quite take into account that Patriot has a range of 160 km for aerodynamic targets," Romanenko said.

Ukrainian successes have become less frequent since forces made lightning gains a year ago in retaking Russian-held territory in the northeast and in the south.

Revenge for Germany...European intelligence suggests Russia may launch an attack on Europe during the winter of 2024-2025 if the United States finds itself "without a leader" following the 2024 U.S. presidential election, the German tabloid Bild reported on Dec. 23, citing an anonymous European intelligence source.

Intelligence service source contends that a potential Russian strike on Europe could occur within the presidential transitionary period, contingent on President Joe Biden not securing re-election in the 2024 U.S. presidential election. This transition period spans three months, from the November 2024 U.S. presidential election to the subsequent inauguration in January 2025.

According to the intelligence source, Russia may aim to launch an attack on Europe during this transition, especially if the leading Republican candidate, former President Donald Trump, is re-elected. Assistance to European countries is anticipated to follow, albeit with some delay.

Instead of MiG-29. It's the  U.S. F-16s fleet consists of up to 60 plus of aircraft and were soon, 😃YEAH  Good news to Ukraine folks, happy day, in matter of days.

Any Day Now, Ukraine Will Finally Get Its F-16s. On Friday, Ukrainian president Zelensky said he had thanked Dutch govt “for its decision to start preparing the initial 18 F-16 jets for their delivery to Ukraine.”

Dutch defense ministry stressed F-16s wouldn’t ship until all paperwork was in order and the Ukrainian defense ministry had suitable air bases and enough trained personnel.

Ukrainian pilots have been in Romania learning to fly the nimble F-16. There probably is no reason Ukraine’s first batch of F-16s won’t begin to arrive within weeks, if not days.

Netherlands, Denmark and Norway all have pledged to Ukraine their surplus F-16s. It’s possible Ukraine could get more than 60 of the single-engine, single-seat, supersonic fighters to bolster existing—and much less sophisticated—MiG and Sukhoi fighters.

These first 18 F-16s—out of 42 the Dutch air force could make available in the coming year or so—have been “improved,” Yuriy Ignat, a Ukrainian air force spokesperson, told Ukrainian media.

It’s true: the F-16A/B Mid-Life Updates, or MLUs, are improved compared to the original F-16 from the early 1980s. But don’t expect the Ukrainian planes to get the latest improvements that, say, the U.S. Air Force is adding to its own F-16s.

Ukraine's Western allies promised Kyiv the advanced U.S.-made F-16 jets months ago, but questions remained about exactly when the aircraft would take to Ukraine's skies.


Kyiv had clamored for the jets, which would boost Ukraine's ability to contest Russia's dominance in the skies and launch more strikes on key Russian targets. The F-16s are equipped with more modern avionics and radars and are designed to launch the NATO-standard weapons Ukraine has been using with its older, Soviet-era jets

In recent days, Russian-aligned or anti-Ukrainian Telegram channels have speculated that Ukraine may have made use of the advanced jets to take out key Russian assets, although there has been no confirmation that Ukraine has received the jets.

A U.S. source told Newsweek on Wednesday that it was likely Ukraine had indeed received the first of the promised F-16s.

In the past three weeks, Russia is reported to have lost eight jets—a blow to Moscow's air force. On December 5, the Ukrainian military said it had shot down a Russian jet around Snake Island, a Black Sea outpost around 30 miles from Ukraine's coastline close to Romania. 

In the early hours of December 26, a Ukrainian missile strike damaged Russia's Novocherkassk landing ship in Crimea. Russian-aligned or anti-Ukrainian Telegram channels have since speculated that an F-16 was used to fire the cruise missiles at the Russian vessel, and what threat the jets in Ukraine's hands could pose to the Kremlin.

"This aircraft is integrated into the NATO command and control system, and that is the danger," one prominent Russian military blogger said on Tuesday.

Although not officially announced, it is not impossible that Ukraine has received at least an initial batch of F-16s. In mid-October, Ukraine debuted its ATACMS missiles in eye-catching assaults on Russian airbases that wiped out a slew of Russian helicopters. The attacks are thought to have caught Moscow by surprise, with the weapons confirmed after Ukraine first fired the missiles.

The same could be true of the long-awaited fast jets, and could offer Ukraine a much-needed advantage as the frontlines stagnate in the biting winter months."I hope the West has learned NOT to announce new weapons systems, as was done for the most part for the first 20 months of the war," said Daniel Rice, former special adviser to Ukraine's lead commander, General Valery Zaluzhny.

"Russian forces should learn 'the hard way' when Ukraine fields a new weapon," Rice, who is now president of American University Kyiv, told Newsweek.

Ukraine had high hopes for 2023 / 2024
Many dreamed war would end with Ukraine’s victory but that would finally be able to visit liberated Crimea 9-yrs of Russian occupation.
But Russia’s brutal attacks against civilian infrastructure continued with them, death toll has continued to rise, bringing more tragedy to Ukrainian families. Ukraine’s much-anticipated summer counteroffensive, aimed@liberating the south, ultimately failed amid brutal fighting across front line, multiple villages and towns were razed to the ground, and countless Ukrainian defenders were killed.

But even in one of Ukraine’s most difficult years, there have been events and accomplishments that brought glimpses of joy.

Here are the Kyiv Independent's top picks of moments that gave Ukrainians hope in 2023.

Biden's surprise visit to Kyiv Days before the first anniversary of Russia’s all-out war. President Joe Biden made history paying a surprise visit to Kyiv. Biden’s first-ever trip to Ukraine as president aimed at demonstrating his "unwavering" support for Ukraine as it continued to fight against Russian aggression. During his five-hour visit on Feb. 20, Biden met President Volodymyr Zelensky at his official residence, Mariinskyi Palace, visited St. Michael's Monastery & honored the Ukrainian soldiers that have fallen since Russia’s war began in 2014.

Seeing Biden walk alongside Zelensky through the streets of wartime Kyiv was a reassurance for many, affirming that Ukraine is not alone in its fight against Russia. "One year later, Kyiv stands," Biden said. "And Ukraine stands. Democracy stands. The Americans stand with you, and the world stands with you."
