Hello friends, I'm Xia Lokshan. According to the Russian military, the Russian logistics center in Kursk, entered the range of attack. On August 15, the 10th day of the Russian invasion of Kursk, a social media video shows that about 30 kilometers north of the border, Ligov was attacked by Russian artillery. According to the geographical location of Russian media, it is estimated that the train station was attacked. The mayor of Ligov, Aleksej Hermanshov, said that the nearby air defense forces used a rocket launcher to intercept the target in the air. As a result, the fallen fragments caused four people to be injured. Houses, cars and sports facilities were destroyed. There is news that the Ukrainian military attacked Ligov with the海马斯火箭系统 provided by the United States. On August 14, before Ligov was attacked, the Russian military began to build a series of battleships If the news of Ligov being attacked by the Ukrainians is true, it shows that the Ukrainians may use Ligov, a city with significant strategic significance, to build a fortress. In fact, the Ukrainian military is approaching Ligov, fighting at a distance of 30 kilometers from the border, approaching Ligov, which is not far from the Izhevsk Expressway. There is a railway and an expressway here, connecting to the Izhevsk nuclear power plant. If the Ukrainian military succeeds in occupying Ligov, it will create conditions for the next attack on the Izhevsk nuclear power plant, which means that Russia will lose more territories. On August 16, the Ukrainian military posted a video on social media showing an important bridge on the Izhevsk River being hit by a missile. The missile that hit this bridge may be a direct attack missile provided by the United States Russian media also claimed that this bridge was hit by two海马斯火箭, or six tactical missiles. But from the picture, it looks more like an air-to-ground attack cruise missile. The bridge that was hit by the Ukrainian military is one of the three bridges in the Karlovy Vary region. It is also one of the easternmost bridges. It is less than 10 kilometers from the Ukrainian control zone. Russian media reported that the bridge on the Karlovy Vary region is the main route for Russia to transport ammunition and food in the region. Russia can also build a floating bridge to maintain the supply line, but it is very easy to become a target for海马斯火箭 and air-to-ground attacks on ammunition in the region. Russian military spokesman Volodymyr Poroshenko said, Simply put, if the Ukrainian troops carry out their operations successfully in the region, they will control the E38 expressway of the Karlovy Vary-Furtsevsky section, or they may launch an attack from one side of the Karlovy Vary. Even if the Ukrainian troops do not carry out their operations successfully, they may also take over the highlands of the Mukha River as the foundation for the next action. The E38 expressway is located about 15 kilometers north of Karlovy Vary, and is a medium-range transportation hub in Furtsevsky. On Thursday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Poroshenko said in a daily speech that the new progress we have made is a new boost to the foreign exchange fund. The foreign exchange fund mentioned by Volodymyr Poroshenko is only used to exchange for Russian prisoners of war. Ukrainian Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Aleksandr Zayiski said, Ukrainian troops have liberated Sochi from Russia. At present, Ukraine has controlled more than 80 settlements. At the same time, Zayiski said, Ukraine will set up a military command office in Sochi, but has not said how the office will operate and which troops will be controlled in detail. At least one fact has been made clear in this news. That is, the Ukrainian troops will continue to expand their operations outside of Russia and the long-term occupation of the already-controlled territory will depend on the way the war will end in the future. U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Robert Orbea said, Russia has just withdrew troops from Ukraine and has stopped the invasion. He said, we have not seen or heard any upgraded speech, especially around nuclear weapons, and nothing will change our strategic threat posture. U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Robert Orbea said, or the U.S. has provided Ukraine with AGM-158 joint air-to-ground missile defense to maintain an open attitude. On Aug. 15, U.S. officials said, the U.S. government is considering allowing Ukraine to provide JASSM and began research to integrate these missiles into Ukraine's F-16 fighter jets. AGM-158 will provide a powerful long-range precision strike capability. Its maximum range will allow Ukraine to have a range of nearly 1,000 kilometers for the first time. Ukraine's F-16 fighter jets meet the F-16AMBM standard. This is a mid-term update of the F-16. These mid-term updates may only require software updates and limited software updates to be able to use JASSM. JASSM has been in service for more than 20 years and has been integrated into many of the F-16's fourth-generation fighters. But to a large extent, it is still a high-end weapon. Due to its complexity and confidentiality, people generally think it is unlikely to provide this kind of weapon to Ukraine. Transferring these weapons to Ukraine poses a significant technical risk. In addition to the possibility of JASSM or its infiltration into Russia, there is also the concern that the missile range may lead to an upgraded impact. But U.S. officials seem to be willing to seriously consider whether these risks are worth taking. The basic AGM-158A range is about 330 miles and weighs 2,250 pounds. It is equipped with a 1,000-pound warhead and a dual-model warhead. The upgraded AGM-158B has a range of at least 575 miles, which is its unique feature. Even in the face of the latest air defense system, it has a very high survivability. It uses a small Whirlwind Spray Launcher, a regular navigation system, and a GPS dual-model system. It also uses an infrared imaging technology with automatic target identification function to ensure high-precision targeting. Even in the face of severe GPS interference, it is still able to accurately locate the target. This ability is particularly important which is often violently interfered with by Russian forces. In February this year, the Ukrainian military said that the F-16 fighter jets will be equipped with a U.S.-made air-to-air cruise missile with a range of 180 to 310 miles. These weapons are expected to be provided to Ukraine by the U.S. The closest weapon to this kind of missile seems to be non-JASSM. In July, a Ukrainian delegation visited Washington and again asked for approval to hand over JASSM. This raised the issue State Security Advisor Jack Sullivan. At the same time, more and more people in the U.S. are supporting Ukraine to provide If the U.S. decides to provide JASSM to Ukraine, it is likely to mean that it has considered letting go of the restrictions on Ukraine's use of long-range weapons to strike Russian internal military targets, especially Ukraine's attack on Russia's Kursk region to enter the second week. This issue has become more eye-catching. Shooting over 300 miles or farther means that Ukraine's troops have two unprecedented abilities. One is the ability to use the precious F-16 fighter jet so that it can attack Russian military targets The other is the ability to attack Russian strategic targets such as Russian troops and military bases, airfields, and command and control centers. Ukraine's official request to the U.S. to provide JASSM is not pessimistic. If Washington decides to hand JASSM over to Ukraine, it will be Ukraine's longest-range heavy weapon and a huge leap in its especially in the Russian air defense system that occupies Ukraine's so it will play a huge role It is also not the first high-end weapon provided to Ukraine The U.S. has already provided six-military tactical missile systems, other long-range cruise missiles, including the UK's Storm Shadow and France's Scalp EG, although they are not as long-range as JASSM. Currently, Ukraine's F-16 fighter jet is only equipped with two AIM-120 medium-range air-to-air missiles and two AIM-9 medium-range air-to-air missiles. Therefore, only equipped with air-to-air combat capabilities, its mission may also be limited to air defense. However, Ukraine considers the F-16 as a multi-purpose fighter jet, so it may need to increase ground-to-ground weapons. Obviously, JASSM is the ideal option. It is not yet clear whether Washington will finally decide to provide AGM-158 to Ukraine, but the latest news shows that the problem is still being discussed. The possibility that the AGM-158 F-16 is close to reality is enough to threaten Russia. This is the end of today's topic. Thank you for watching. See you next time.
