Unlikely, I think - this one is at 27k in a left-hand racetrack.Zelenskyi used a French AF A330 to visit China....

Wonder who’s using this one?

Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war
So, perhaps some US Army General who has been invited to make a presentation.Zelenskyy has arrived at the Castel Mimi in the village of Bulboaca, where the European Political Community summit is taking place. Zelenskyy is the first to do so after Moldovan President Maia Sandu, the host of the meeting.
Nearly fifty European presidents and heads of government are expected to attend the summit.

Lots of racetracking by all now. Interesting.

What's with the two RJs on patrol at the same time?
Cross-bearings for realtime location, or just a bit of overlap in coverage?
Looks like the centre of attention is the Zaporizhzhia front line, around Polohy.

“The terrorists of the Kyiv regime were driven back, having suffered significant losses, no violations of the state border were allowed,” the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reports. They claim 30 insurgents were killed

The FAF A330 (F-UJCH) is shown as a tanker capable airframe and it is still on a racetrack.

The second video finishes at this position (my geolocation).

If so, then they are heading south for the Ukrainian border.
This road has no formal exit, but by following forest roads and cutting the fence, I think they penetrated the border here: 50.31320573928162, 36.833387867477164
although almost anywhere 3 miles either side of here seems reasonable.

Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war
and this...
Below, someone has translated this as
It would appear that the two are connected."According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Shebekino, the “Fortress” plan was announced. The "valiant" defenders of Putin's gang, following the protocol, gathered in the administration building. We let them gather and “covered” them with packages of GRADS." - RVC

Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war
The Russians currently have tanks turning up in Shebekino on transporters*.
Which might explain why the RVC / RFL have beat feet (if they have).
Since the OODA loop time for the Russians appears to be half a day, it would seem like a good idea to hit somewhere else tonight.
Then keep darting across in different places, occasionally revisiting a place hit earlier, until the Russians are forced into defending the entire border.
*That is, they aren't because officially the Russians stopped anyone crossing the border and there was no damage. Just ignore the big plumes of smoke. And the fleeing reporters, etc

Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war
What I suggested yesterday might happen appears to be the case today. There are assorted reports that the Russian insurgents are shelling Sushany (Bryansk) and Kozinka, and are possibly on the ground in Urazovo.
Places all along the border, including one previously visited.
Urazovo is the last Russian stop on the last rail line leading into Luhansk from the north. It passes through Starobilsk before reaching Luhansk.
If the insurgents can drop the bridge over the border river, that would be a big help to Ukraine.

Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war
Big strike in the port of Berdyansk.
Two viewpoints allows triangulation, and the strike appears to me to beUpdate: (have a third view), IS in the main storage yard for the port, here
https://www.google.com/maps/place/46%C2 ... ?entry=ttu
Reports of a strike in Heniches'k also.
This was made the regional admin centre by the Russians, and they converted the airport for attack helicopters. Likely there's an HQ there too, plus the bridges for the eastern isthmus leading to Crimea.
Both of these are outside HIMARS range, so I'd guess at Storm Shadow again.

Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war
Difficult to be sure, but I think the rebels are back in Shebekino also. They appear to have hit something big in the woods behind the city admin building they burned yesterday.
I've seen some video, and I can't quite pin it down, but it's definitely not the same building as yesterday on fire, and it's definitely not the hospital beyond. It's possible the Russian troops that arrived yesterday set up a depot in the woods. This would be behind the smaller city admin building, which appears to be where the bosses work, and likely where the commanding officer of the arriving troops was located.

The NASA fire satellite website is down.
This may be deliberate, of course.

Re: Millions of us might be **** if we ignore the Russian-Ukraine war
The yards are surrounded by a metalworks. There are almost always hotspots here, due to the industrial works.
There were more than usual yesterday, but there were also more than usual at the other industrial hotspots around Ukraine, so I think this may be due to summer temperatures rather than any change in the industrial activity, or any missile strikes.
I could be wrong, but that's my guess.
Several quarries and stoneworks also generate hotspots.
