I hope this spike in the number of Russian artillery systems claimed to have been destroyed means Ukraine is started to receive artillery rounds in bigger quantities, i.e., counter-battery fire.

Was this news mentioned recently? https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy2318

In this podcast episode, which really starts to get going about minute 9, they talk, speculate about how Ukraine can make use of their F-16s soon: https://fromthecrowsnest.transistor.fm/episodes/so-now-what-will-ukraine-aid-make-a-difference

Let's hope these are headed for Ukraine soon: https://www.idf.il/אתרי-יחידות/יומן-המלחמה/כל-הכתבות/כתבות-ייזומות/מערכת-הנשק-פטריוט-מסיימת-את-שירותה-בחיל-האוויר/

Commander Oleksandr Syrskyi's latest update: https://t.me/osirskiy/670

I agree with you, unless it's a disinformation campaign designed to make the Russians pull more air defenses to defend this area so the that the Ukrainians can attack elsewhere. Hopefully, those F-16s are ready to deploy real soon now.

Off topic, but CNN (and others) report Israel has struck back against Iran.

I'm believe that this Trump Truth Social post, that Matt Gaetz appears to be misconstruing, is also very wrong on the facts:

Unfortunately, for the last many minutes Democrats and Republicans of the Rules Committee are now bickering over who is most to blame, Trump or Biden, for the miserable situation that brought them to this point in time, leading to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, not supporting Ukraine enough for the last two years, who should get credit for the aid to Ukraine up to this point, and who to blame for not getting Ukraine the recent support they need.
