While the Ukrainian army has demonstrated that it's capable of fighting Russian forces on the ground, the air-war in Ukraine has always been far more asymmetric. In this episode we look at the changing nature of that war, including the emergence of behind-the-lines strikes, and the upcoming arrival of the much awaited F-16s for Ukraine's air force.

Caveats & corrections:
All normal caveats and cautions apply, including, as always, the nature of the content as entertainment and all the risks of error etc

I also at one point refer to the 'fuel tank' of drones - note that many deployed drones will have metal batteries rather than fuel tanks

I also refer to UA getting Block 20 MLU F-16s on one slide - see pin

What’s the Grappler Police Bumper?

Police pursuits are unpredictable, dangerous, and in some cases, even deadly.

These pursuits put not only officers' lives in danger, but also innocent people who happen to get caught up in the chaos.

Until recently, there was no safe way to bring them to an end. Officers would have to rely on something called a ‘PIT Maneuver’ (PIT, according to an article on the U.S. Department of Justice's website, stands for Precision Immobilization Technique) to try to stop the vehicles they were after by forcing a vehicle to spin out and come to a stop. Another option is to lay down spike strips to deflate the tires, but even then, the suspects would often keep going on the rim only.

Five years ago, however, a new option emerged in the form of the Grappler Police Bumper.

Deion Sanders full press conference after Colorado’s 45-42 upset win over No. 17 TCU

Deion Sanders speaks with the media after beating TCU 45-42.

Deion Sanders' Colorado Buffaloes beat TCU in a 45-42 thriller at Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth on Saturday, giving Sanders a win in his first game coaching at the Football Bowl Subdivision level.

HIGHLIGHTS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diqtu9-u980&t=10s

Colorado (1-0) held TCU (0-1) on a 4th down and 9 with just under one minute left, and then ran out the clock to shock the Horned Frogs, who were coming off their best season in program history.

Sanders' son, Shedeur Sanders, starred at quarterback for Colorado, throwing for 510 yards on 38-of-47 passing and four touchdowns. 

"I'm proud of him," Deion Sanders said of his son's performance, "tremendously."
