What the NATO Paveway IV bomb brings to Ukraine
He presses
Britain is set to supply Ukraine with heavy guided bombs to help it fight the Russian invasion led by Vladimir Putin.
KYIV — Ukraine's allies want to know: As the Russian army advances in Donbas, the United States has released $61 billion in arms shipments to Kiev. Great Britain put together a $3.7 billion military package, and tiny Lithuania gave the Ukrainians the last fighter plane to fight back against Vladimir Putin.
Arms shipments to Ukraine: British send Paveway IV bomb to Kiev
For example, the medium-range ATACMS missiles that Washington sent to the Ukrainian military, according to a US media report, before Congress finally voted yes, are much more powerful. The time factor when it finally arrives has a major impact on the course of battles between the Kharkiv, Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions in the Ukraine war.
They are also highly accurate – like the ATACMS – Paveway IV guided air-to-surface bombs, which London says it is supplying to the Ukrainian armed forces as part of the latest weapons deliveries. Newsweek It will save. In this case, it is air power, which repeatedly inflicts heavy losses on Russia – especially in the Black Sea peninsula of Crimea.
Military aid to Ukraine: Great Britain is significantly increasing its arms package
At the start of the week, the UK increased its planned 2024 military aid to the Ukrainians, who are in dire straits on the ground, by another £500m to £3.23bn. Such as, among others, the independent electronic portal for Eastern Europe Setback It was reported that these arms shipments include, for example, 160 Husky armored personnel carriers, in addition to 1,600 offensive bombs and anti-aircraft missiles. also telegraph Reports on this topic.
American news magazine Newsweek He speculates that Paveway bombs should be part of this package. The big advantage: After being launched, the bomb can glide greater distances in the air and search for a target independently or be actively guided towards a target. For this purpose, the Paveway IV is equipped with a modern laser array, which, in addition to GPS, includes both an infrared and a laser seeker on the head of the weapon. The bomb can also be directed at moving targets, such as moving tank convoys.
Ukraine War: Vladimir Putin attacks cities with huge bombs
The so-called Aurora Integrated Detonator from the French arms company Thales allows a rapidly approaching bomb to detonate in the air above the target, on impact or after penetrating the target – depending on previous programming. This means that Paveway could also be used against command and communications centers in bunkers – in theory. Because: The warhead weighs 226.8 kilograms, which is equivalent to 500 pounds. This is a lot and would certainly be enough to establish shelters in the ruins of destroyed homes, such as the ones the Russians continue to erect. But also for caches?
For comparison: Moscow is dropping FAB-1500 bombs on the front-line town of Chasiv Yar in Donbas, which, according to videos and photos on X (formerly Twitter), is currently being destroyed by Putin's brutal Kremlin regime. Like Bachmut before. Or like Avdiivka in the meantime. high Süddeutscher Zeitung (SZ) The Russian Armed Forces have been using FAB-1500 aircraft with a gross weight of 1.5 tons since January 2024 in the Ukraine war to an unprecedented extent. “One of the biggest problems is their increasing use: 80 of them a day in one place, and that has a huge impact,” military expert Michael Kaufman explained in a podcast called “War on the Rocks.” It is said to be dropped intermittently, and the warhead alone weighs 1,400 kilograms.
NATO Guided Missiles: Ukrainians are turning their fighter jets against Russia
The Paveway's advantage over Russian FAB bombs, which date back to the Soviet era, is not least its tremendous accuracy. The Ukrainians have so far demonstrated that they are capable of mounting Western missile systems in practice using pylons on the wings and fuselages of their MiG-29 fighter jets and Su-24M front-line bombers. This is now also expected for Paveway IV guided bombs equipped with the appropriate devices. (evening)

Donald Trump demands Joe Biden take a drug test before debate
The two alleged contenders for the position of US President agreed on a date for a television debate. Now Trump is making a new request.
Former US President Donald Trump called on current President Joe Biden to submit to a drug test before their duel on Monday in a television debate for the first time during the election campaign at the end of June. „I don’t want him to get there like he did in the State of the Union address,” Trump said during a Republican Party event in St. Paul, Minnesota. „He was as high as a kite.”
Trump has previously indicated several times in interviews that the US President was under the influence of substances on various occasions. He previously made similar accusations against his rival, Hillary Clinton, during the 2016 election campaign. Trump has not yet provided any evidence for his allegations. Biden has not yet commented on Trump’s allegations.
Ahead of the US presidential election in November, President Joe Biden and his rival Donald Trump want to compete against each other in two televised debates. Biden challenged Trump to two televised duels on Wednesday, and he immediately accepted the challenge. The American CNN network said that the first debate will take place on June 27 in Atlanta, Georgia. The two competitors also agreed on a second date on September 10.

Supreme Court Justice Alito causes a stir with his knowledge
He presses
Trump fans are using the upside-down American flag to cast doubt on Biden’s election victory. It can also be seen in front of the judge’s house.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Conservative Justice Samuel Alito of the U.S. Supreme Court is in trouble. After Donald Trump’s election defeat in 2020, an upside-down American flag was apparently hung in front of his house – a popular symbol among Trump supporters to cast doubt on US President Joe Biden’s election victory.
Report from The New York Times According to the report, the flag was raised in front of Alito’s home in Alexandria, Virginia, on January 17, 2021. The newspaper wrote this, citing statements and photos from the judge’s neighbors. However, the accused denies having anything to do with the matter. “I was in no way involved in raising the flag,” Alito said in an emailed statement to the newspaper. Instead, according to the judge, his wife raised the upside-down flag. But not just „in response to a neighbor’s use of offensive and personally insulting language on yard signs.”
A pro-Trump symbol in front of the judge’s house? Allegations against Supreme Court judges
The matter is explosive because the upside-down American flag was a symbol of Trump supporters who falsely claimed in the wake of the recent election that President Biden stole the office. During the storming of the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. on January 6, 2021, the upside-down flag was also raised several times by rioters. Biden’s inauguration was just three days away at this point. Just eleven days later, a Trump supporter’s slogan flew over the lawn of a top federal judge.
In this context, it is the duty of such an official to ensure that no misunderstandings occur, as do legal and ethicists. The New York Times He confirmed the opposite. Even the appearance of bias should be avoided, otherwise the impartiality of the judge may be called into question. The mere impression of a political opinion can be a problem. “It could be his wife or someone else living in his house, but it shouldn’t be in his yard as a message to the world,” law professor Amanda Frost said in the report.
Wife in neighborhood dispute – Commitment to Donald Trump despite being a judge?
Raising that license plate, Frost continued, „is the equivalent of putting up a 'Stop the Steal’ sign in the yard.” This slogan – in German „Stop the steal” – was the slogan of those people who stormed the Capitol for their former president. According to the legal expert, the matter becomes a problem at the latest when it comes to the property of the judge who decides “cases related to the elections.” While the flag was raised, the court was still grappling with the question of whether allegations of voter fraud in the 2020 US election should be investigated. Alito argued in favor of hearing the arguments, but was ultimately on the losing side.
In fact, according to the article, interviews with residents revealed that the justice’s wife, Martha Ann Alito, had gotten into a fight with another family in the neighborhood over an anti-Trump sign on their lawn. However, given the timing and strong meaning of the symbol, the upside-down flag could have been interpreted by neighbors primarily as a political statement by the couple.
Political labels taboo on Supreme Court: Is Trump’s judge unfit for office?
The Code of Ethics applicable to lower courts in the United States, as well as the Code of Ethics recently adopted by the Supreme Court, emphasize the need for judges to remain independent. Political statements or opinions on matters that may be brought before them should be avoided. Court officials are not permitted to publicly express their partisan political opinions. This also includes attaching signs or vehicle stickers.
For Take Back the Court, a group that opposes the conservative path the court has taken in recent years, this is evidence that Alito does not belong on the court. “Sam Alito has disqualified himself from legitimately serving on the Supreme Court,” Sarah Lipton Lubit, the group’s president, said, according to the website. HuffPost In the current situation. Perhaps there is nothing like raising the middle finger to the American people than “proudly displaying, in your front yard, the remains of a failed coup attempt against the country you were supposed to serve.” (Tn)
