RT @UAControlMap: Daily Ukraine map thread for Thursday 20th November 2025
Highlights: Russian forces seen consolidating unhindered in southern Pokrovsk, as well as scooter troops in south Myrnohrad getting it. It is likely just the small parts of Myrnohrad left now, which likely hold a small rear guard only. (Map 1)
Russian forces sighted getting hit inside Lyman again, and also inside north Zvanivka in the Siversk direction.
Russian forces raise flag in hamlet of Vesele in east Zaporizhia, but it's very likely they are further on from this settlement in that direction as there is little to no defense from the Ukrainian troops in the area.
In lighter news, and one of the reasons why we do the whole project to counter disinformation is that Russian forces announced the full capture of Kupyansk on their state media, and that 15 Ukrainian battalions are surrounded. Needless to say, just plain no.

@YarvinBiodiesel @ManiatiGeorge @noclador: Who is the our here? Canada? Absolutely not. The RCAF is 100% against the Gripen and 100% against a mixed fleet. It's a massive waste of money. Gripen has no advantage in operating from austere runways, and we're not going to be basing the F-35 in the far north either.

@YarvinBiodiesel @ManiatiGeorge @noclador: The US is not actually hostile to Canada. The military to military relationship remains as close as ever and the US will never not be our largest trading partner. You can't change geography.

@HarelBarok: Canada already has F-35s on contract and there's no indication of that changing.

@JoaodosReisAlb1: Do I need to be in order to observe that Gripen has lost nearly 20 bids? Pretty sure a 10 year old can understand that.

@TomcatJunkie: Literally the first sentence: "There are anonymous accounts on this platform that are worth following (some really worth following)". Thought I was being clear with what I was conveying but perhaps not.

@revenantsplines: Yes because there's a financial incentive to do so. It's the verified and anonymous accounts that need the most scrutiny.

@jeromeportier @ManiatiGeorge @noclador: F-35 is not that low, and you only need a handful of F-35s to wipe out the entire Swedish Air Force.

@jeromeportier @AndrewLavende11: The same exists for any other aircraft from any other supplier. The US also holds an export veto on Gripen because it has a US engine.

@DraxlMiroslav @GibisVB: What should be compared then? How does any potential customer evaluate two different pieces of military equipment? Forget about aircraft generations and aircraft altogether. Generations are a semantic argument, what is actually being compared is the capabilities and the price point.

@BMedicky: > F-35 20 successful bids
> Gripen ~20 unsuccessful bids
Your premise is frankly moronic. Nobody is buying an American aircraft because they think they might need to fight the United States. They are buying it because you want your pilots to have the biggest possible advantage over possible adversaries, such as Russia & China.

@YarvinBiodiesel @ManiatiGeorge @noclador: Trump is gone by the time our first F-35s will be operational. Should be much more concerned about pro-Russian governments getting elected in France and elsewhere in Europe.

@ManiatiGeorge @noclador: Respectfully George, the RCAF understands history very well. It's emotional politicians that do not.

@Vmaxpax: The Houthis did not down a single F-18, and zero Gripens have been lost because the Gripen has never seen combat aside from like a single sortie flown by Thailand against Cambodia a few months ago.
I can't believe you unironically asked that question lmao.

@JoaodosReisAlb1: It lost 20 bids. You are free to read about why that happened. I don't need to do your homework for you.
