Hmmm... like thinking it is grounded while in the air, just because landing gear froze? like failing to intercept russian planes in Estonian airspace for over ten minutes? like eating our whole military budget in maintenance? Rafale is not an option, because Dassault has too many orders. Gripens.

On the Donetsk front, operators from the 427th “RAROG” UAV Regiment halted a Russian assault by destroying armored assets, stripping infantry of cover and preventing further advance. The BM-21 GRAD MLRS system was hit while firing.

🔥 Ukrainian OSINT channels write that it was at the site of the strike in Donetsk that the Russians set up their own workshop for the production of FPV drones, Molniya-1/Molniya-2 attack drones, and loitering munitions.
