Unconfirmed Reports that Starokostiantyniv Air Base in the Khmelnytskyi Region of Western Ukraine has been struck by at least 5 Russian Cruise Missiles. This Base is Home to the 7th Tactical Aviation Brigade who operate Su-24 Tactical Bombers which are claimed to be the __ONLY__ Ukraine aircraft capable of utilizing “Storm Shadow” Air-Launched Cruise Missiles provided by the UK and France.
If this base and its planes have been put out of commission, then Russia achieved multiple wins; knocking out more Ukraine air power and HALTING the ability of Ukraine to use STORM SHADOW missiles, anywhere in the country.
Reports are that this is attack was focused on NATO Assets, Supplies, and Command Centers inside Ukraine, which would explain the daylight strikes.
THIS ENDS ONGOING UPDATES
HELP IS NEEDED, PLEASE!
At the end of each calendar month, this site reaches out to Readers and Listeners like YOU to keep the lights on. Carried to almost 100 countries around the world by Global, High-Frequency Shortwave Radio Stations WBCQ, WRMI, and WWCR, it is an expensive proposition to do this show five nights a week.
In addition to radio air time costs, there are six inbound telephone lines for folks to call-in and get on the air to tell the world what they think. There is software licensing fees, pre-show music fees, Studio Fiber Optic Connections at the Metro New York City location with Cellular back-up. At the "Bug-Out" location in Pennsylvania, all that has to be duplicated, but without Fiber Optics. So in PA, there's a Cable modem as the primary feed distribution, cellular back-up, and TWO satellite Uplinks, along with battery back-ups and generator in case the rural electric goes down.
All this costs money to have, to operate, and to maintain.
THIS WEB SITE is also expensive, with monthly data transfer charges and hosting fees by Amazon Web Services, between about $2500 and $4600 per month, depending on how many of you come here to read stories.
