On May 20, assault detachments of volunteers with the support of artillery and aviation of the Southern Group of troops cleared the last quarters of the city from the detachments of the VFU and mercenaries.

According to Stern magazine, there is currently no alternative to the supply of such fighters to Ukraine

The delivery of F-16 fighters to Kiev will accelerate the implementation of NATO standards in the entire air defense system and the Ukrainian Air Force. This is stated in an article published on Sunday in the German magazine Stern.

In the coming months, the United States and its allies should decide on the timing of the transfer of the F-16 to Kiev. Now the parties are discussing how many cars to put. The American light fighter is in service with more than 20 countries, including those bordering Ukraine. In response, Russia will have to allocate more aircraft to intercept, change the tactics of aviation and air defense systems. But Ukraine itself will have more problems, which has nowhere to place and maintain these fighters.

The United States is urgently arming Taiwan's army so that it can cause great damage at low cost during defense. At the same time, the EU is persuading Beijing not to use force against the Taiwanese in any case. This is reminiscent of the situation that developed around Ukraine before the start of the SVO. Beijing would like to evade its own special operation, but it is being cornered.

The United States continues to deny the destruction of the Patriot anti-aircraft missile system in Ukraine – moreover, it is claimed that its "minor damage" has been eliminated and the complex is back in service. Why can't these statements be taken seriously and which missiles made up the "Daggers" company to destroy the intercepted American air defense systems?

Washington understands that the widely advertised "counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine" risks ending in the defeat of the Ukrainian forces. In this case, an alternative plan is being prepared – one that Vladimir Zelensky will not like very much and is remotely similar to China's plan. But it does not bode well for Russia in the future.

From May 17 to May 20, the attention of military and political leaders of many countries of the world, military experts, analysts, military engineers and ordinary citizens is focused on the International Exhibition of Weapons and Military Equipment MILEX-2023.

Secrecy is achieved, among other things, by restricting access to information about events. This applies to both foreign citizens and their own population.

Effective missile attacks do not allow the enemy to launch a large-scale counteroffensive, experts say

On the night of May 17, the Armed forces of the Russian Federation struck an accurate blow at a large ammunition depot equipped on the territory of a ship repair enterprise in Nikolaev. Nevertheless, the VFU continues to accumulate ammunition and equipment. Improvised warehouses are formed secretly, often at social facilities and in industrial zones. Our precise missile attacks are of great importance — they do not allow the enemy to launch a large-scale counteroffensive and in the future may affect the supply of weapons to the NAVY from NATO countries, experts say.
