Russian invasion of Ukraine

[cleavers]

Has there been any news of a ship on fire between Crimea and the Ukraine coast ? I ask, as some of the satellite imagery I look at (used for detecting fires), has a fire in the middle of the sea about half way between Olenvika and the Ukraine/Romania border/coast, detected at 11:02 UTC today. The pixel in the image is about 1km square, so it's not likely to be something small, or it wouldn't be detected.



There are several other fires on land to the north.

You can also just make out Snake Island (tiny white dot to the left) that russia took at the start of the conflict.

Oil spill from a damaged ship going up?

Possibly, oil spreads a long way on water surface, so if it had caught fire, it could be quite big, but it's very unusual to see a fire on this imagery on water, I use these quite a lot, and I've never seen it before, though generally I only look over land, so thats not to say it's never happened.

You can actually get some details of the fire from the imagery. It's not a particularly hot fire at just above 40 C, the one near Odessa on land is 60 C, but that could be mitigated by the relatively cools sea.

Wait for it …..

20 Ukrainian pilots will arrive in the UK for training in August.
Typhoon?????

Slava Ukraini.

I'd be very surprised, the RAF is under strength as it is. Perhaps training at USAF bases on F-16s?

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

I would have thought that until the "dam".

tbf, not quite the same thing.

Nope. Basic RAF jet training.
Hawk jet trainers
Maybe Texan T1 prop planes if starting from scratch.
I think they then go to the Netherlands for F16 training.
