We have RC-135s in theater, I'm sure they are capturing a lot of that and getting back to Ukraine too. But even better if the local troops can get it in real time.

There's a JSTARS over Poland right now. First I've seen so far ... that seems to be a shift in our posture. They're really close to the border, might be expecting some spillover. Because I don't think Ukraine has anything that would be compatible. I guess they could be relaying target info old school, but ... that's a stretch to use JSTARS for.

So Putin is getting fed up with the idea of a low impact war and moving to break the will of the Ukrainian people and get people to flee. I’m saddened, but not surprised. The only thing we (NATO) can do is keep shipping arms and Intel to Ukrainian forces. I hope Biden specifically open US borders to Ukrainian refugees with automatic temporary VISAs.

While a bit of overkill, it may just be helping run Ukraine supply logistics safely while watching out for Russian movements. At least 2-3 US Army blackhawks running trips along Polish side of Ukraine border also, and there were at least a couple large military transport deliveries into the area in eastern Poland over past 12 hours, possibly more.

Edit: As a funny side note, there's 40,000 people live-tracking the JSTARS over Poland. I wonder if anyone has let them know that they are trending? ;)

Seems clear the Russians are transitioning to a siege phase as their shambolic assaults keep coming apart with heavy losses of equipment.

Aside from the armor convoy headed to Kyiv, siege warfare is the Russian's only option for now. They keep getting pushed back in attempts to enter the cities. Which is leading to soldiers fleeing/deserting.

This is what happens when you push very young soldiers with very limited training directly into intense fighting. If it is true that many of them thought they were on a training mission, then they've had no time to be mentally prepared.
