🇺🇦 War on Ukraine

 UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres:

"This war must end. The people of Ukraine cannot bear the violence being inflicted on them and the most vulnerable people around the world cannot become collateral damage for which they bear no responsibility."

🇺🇦 I've been following the war in Ukraine, the shows what has happened since February, 2022, in reverse order. Flight Radar shows the air traffic.


JANUARY









DECEMBER

OCTOBER

The bombings and notices began to slow down in October. 


That is, until Hamas bombed Israel.  

Then things picked up, again.




Oct. 12th, Canada flew Canadians out of the area and took them to Athens.

Oct. 18th Hospital bombing in Gaza has risen threat levels, anger and retaliation.

PM Trudeau is in Ukraine June 10th


 







JUNE 24 – WAGNER Group on the move

They turned around.The Russians fired on the Wagners, called betrayal and treason, by the Kremlin. Thing is, it's not that the Wagners think they should stop their war on Ukraine, 

Not enough weapons. Russian troops targeted Wagner. BBC has a lot of good coverage. The Live Map shows what is going on:







MAY 2023

It is awful, the bombings in Ukraine, and now Sudan has a war. My only problem today is getting the garbage out in the pouring rain. I cannot complain.

Look at the absence of air traffic...





✈Today, Russia celebrated Victory Day, an annual holiday marking the defeat of the Nazis, amid mounting anxiety following a series of attacks and over a looming Ukrainian counteroffensive. It was a watered down event. They were busy going after Ukrainian civilians.






PM Trudeau, Freeland in Ukraine






May 22
Russia is claiming that they've taken Bakhmut.


May 28/9
As Ukraine sends messages that they are preparing for more action, they had to shoot down more air fire.


Ukrainian air defense shot down 11 Russian ballistic and cruise missiles Iskander in the 2nd attack of the day.



Complaints from Moscow!

APRIL 2023

FlightRadar24 is watching the air space around Ukraine, especially after the US drone was pissed on by a Russian jet. They have changed the way the UN countries watch air space, as the blog post demonstrates. The US Navy has been circling, keeping an eye on them. 


This was interesting. There were aircraft protecting the RAF, according to itamilradar. NATO assets are active in the area. JAKE11, ZZ664, ZZ338, PERSE071.

March was sadly eventful, with Russian jets dumping fuel on a drone, then attacking it. Ukrainian military are shooting down Chinese cluster bombs. 



March 17th – good to see other UN countries there





20 dead, 5 missing,
Ukraine shot down 16 of 21 drones

Since the Russians went after the US drone, UN isn't stationing them over the Black Sea.

Both the US and NATO 01 were very close to Moldova, as well as one another. The US LAGR250 was at 24,975', and NATO01 was at 35,000'. Of course they are in feet, as the US controls the system.

🛫🛫🛫🛫🛫🛫🛫🛫🛫🛫🛫🛫

Flight Radar published a post about the air traffic overseas. They found some interest in the military air traffic, as did I! You can track planes by their ICAO codes. [P.S. I've moved my local 🛫Ontario flight page here. Also, websites that follow by sea or air.] I made a new page: 🚢 Marine Traffic.

Also, @simon_huwiler has create a map (US War Data) showing all the Russian troop placements. This page of mine explains it. The Live UA Map shows incursions into Ukraine.  Flight Radar has published an interesting piece about the different planes, drone, and surveillance tools, in NATO support in the air.

Here’s the list of aircraft ICAO codes I find interesting:

  • 6285 – Russian Air Force
  • FORTE 11 and 12 belong to the US. 
  • LAGR 221 – US Stratotanker <= specs.
  • DUKE 50, 51, 73 – Sikorsky Blackhawk, US. (DUKE 73 is a Cessna.)
  • NATO 01 – Nato Boeing Sentry
  • KC-135: K35A – for refueling in the air, mostly USA. Also, KC–10A
  • RC-135: R135
  • UH-60M Blackhawk: H60
  • C 17 
  • CL35
  • An-124: A124
  • IL-76: IL76
