Daily Wrap Up December 4-5, 2022

Under the cut:

Explosions at the Engels-2 and Dyagilevo airbases, if confirmed as Ukraine’s, would mark its deepest attack so far into Russia and against key military facilities used in the Kremlin’s war

Russia said that three of its military personnel were killed in what it said were Ukrainian drone attacks on two Russian airbases.

Power has been knocked out in Sumy after the latest Russian missile strikes, according to the northern region’s energy provider. However, the governor of the Kyiv region said its air defences were working there and told residents to remain in shelters. There were also reports of loss of power and water in Odesa after strikes there.

Fighting in eastern Ukraine continues to be concentrated in the Bakhmut area of Donetsk, according to Ukrainian officials. Serhiy Hayday, head of Luhansk region military administration, said on Ukrainian television that the "Donetsk sector is the most difficult as Russians are trying to capture Bakhmut — and all settlements from Lysychansk to Bakhmut are important for them."

Russia’s 6th mass attack on Ukraine’s energy system kills 4 people, causes emergency blackouts

Nine “Grain from Ukraine" ships with a combined 336,000 tons of agricultural products have left Odesa ports in the past two days, the Ukrainian Ministry of Infrastructure reported Sunday.

“The explosions at the Engels-2 and Dyagilevo airbases, if confirmed as Ukraine’s, would mark its deepest attack so far into Russia and against key military facilities used in the Kremlin’s war.

The Soviet-era Engels-2 airbase, named after the Communist philosopher, Friedrich Engels, is home to Russia’s 121st heavy bomber aviation regiment, which includes the Tu-95 and Tu-160 strategic bomber squadrons whose missiles have devastated Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.

“Based on the location of the airbase, its jets have played a major role in the recent bombings in Ukraine,” said Rob Lee, a senior fellow at the US-based Foreign Policy Research Institute, of the Saratov region facility – 450 miles east of Ukraine.

Lee said any Ukrainian attack on the Engels-2 base was likely to be aimed at disrupting Russian plans to strike Ukrainian infrastructure. “Ukraine has been warning for weeks now that Russia was preparing for a fresh wave of missile attacks on its energy grid. This could have been a pre-emptive strike,” he said.

Citing satellite images from Engels-2, Der Spiegel last month reported that Russia was preparing a new large-scale missile attack on Ukraine.

Lee estimated that Russia kept about 15 to 16 Tu-95MS bombers at the Engels-2 airbase and 15 Tu-160s, which represents the largest share of the country’s Tu-160 arsenal.

Gleb Irisov, a former Russian air force lieutenant who left the military in 2020, described Engels-2 as a “key airfield for the country’s strategic aviation”.

“If indeed Ukraine managed to hit the base, it shows the country is making a lot of progress in their ability to reach bases far away from the battlefield.”

The airbase in Dyagilevo, less than 150 miles from Moscow, also houses the 121st heavy bomber aviation regiment whose jets are believed to have attacked Ukraine.

It also serves as the base for Russia’s only Il-78 tanker regiment, a strategically vital division responsible for the air-to-air refuelling of the country’s military aviation.

“Destruction of strategic bombers will undoubtedly get more attention, but, if Russia loses Il-78 tanker aircraft, that might be the biggest issue for Moscow,” Lee said. “The production of new tanker aircraft is notoriously slow so this could turn out to be the most damaging part for Russia.”

Lee said that one of the main issues for the Russian air force was that many of its aircraft were not housed in hangars, leaving them exposed to attacks.

“It is clear that Russia didn’t prepare plans to defend airbases deep inside the country,” Lee said.

“Despite the fact that this isn’t the first attack on Russian soil, Moscow has been very slow to react and protect its jets.”

The explosions While it was not immediately clear what caused the explosion at either military base, Baza, a Russian media outlet with sources in the security services, reported that the Russian airfield at Engels-2 was attacked by a drone.

Lee believes the drones would have been launched by Ukraine from within Russian territory. “The unmanned aerial vehicle attacks have a relatively short range and they wouldn’t have been able to fly all that way from Ukraine,” Lee said.

The explosion at the Engels-2 airfield led to anger among some prominent Russian pro-war bloggers who blamed the country’s military for the inability to protect its airbases.

“The sheep in the rear continue to demonstrate their absolute unsuitability … Even now, the airfields with strategic aviation are not covered by air defence systems,” Voenniy Osvedomitel, a popular commentator, wrote on his Telegram channel.”

-via The Guardian

Russia said that three of its military personnel were killed in what it said were Ukrainian drone attacks on two Russian airbases.

Two aircraft were lightly damaged, the defence ministry said in a statement. Four other people had been wounded, it said.

The defence ministry highlighted that it had launched a strike on Ukraine’s military and energy infrastructure on Monday, “despite the attempts of the Kyiv regime to disrupt the combat work of Russian long-range aviation with a terrorist act”.

-via The Guardian

“Power has been knocked out in Sumy after the latest Russian missile strikes, according to the northern region’s energy provider.

However, the governor of the Kyiv region said its air defences were working there and told residents to remain in shelters. There were also reports of loss of power and water in Odesa after strikes there.

The Guardian’s world affairs editor Julian Borger reports that he has still not heard or seen reports of a strike landing in Kyiv city.

But there are fears this was the first of a double punch, with the first wave designed to soak up the air defences, giving the second wave a better chance of getting through to its targets, potentially the power grid, on a day that started with lows of -7C.”-via The Guardian

“Fighting in eastern Ukraine continues to be concentrated in the Bakhmut area of Donetsk, according to Ukrainian officials.

Serhiy Hayday, head of Luhansk region military administration, said on Ukrainian television that the "Donetsk sector is the most difficult as Russians are trying to capture Bakhmut — and all settlements from Lysychansk to Bakhmut are important for them."

Lysychansk is in neighboring Luhansk region and was captured by Russian forces in June.

Hayday said that the Ukrainian military had destroyed a "huge number of occupiers' personnel and their equipment" in the village of Bilohorivka.

"Now they are trying to break through the defense line, as they plan to make an additional bridgehead to expand the offensive. Attacks are taking place there around the clock, this territory is being constantly shelled. Six people remain in the village; those are elderly people who do not want to leave. It is difficult to take out people who do not want to leave," the official said. Amid difficult weather conditions, Hayday said that the "liberation of Luhansk region is very difficult. However, there is a positive thing. Our troops are not far from Kreminna," a town north of Lysychansk that has been occupied since the spring,

Meanwhile, Pavlo Kyrylenko, head of Donetsk region military administration, said that after Russian missile strikes on parts of Donetsk Monday, "emergency power outages continue. Power engineers are feeding the system with backup sources. In general, the situation is stable. After emergency shutdowns, generators are switched on."

He said the situation around Bakhmut "is extremely tense. Claims of the enemy that Bakhmut is taken and they are on the outskirts of the city are not true."

"Most of the people have evacuated from Bakhmut. There are now about 12,000 residents in Bakhmut out of 81,000 before the invasion. The enemy is trying to destroy the civilian population."

The Ukrainian military said that the center of Bakhmut was hit — and an administrative building, a dormitory, and a residential building were damaged.

Kyrylenko said the Russians also shelled the town of Vuhledar, as well as Kurakhove and Hostre — a kindergarten, four high-rise buildings and seven private houses were damaged.”-via CNN

“President Volodymyr Zelensky praised Ukraine’s air defense for shooting down “most of the missiles” fired by Russia at energy facilities across Ukraine in its recent mass attack on Dec. 5.

Of more than 70 cruise missiles Russia launched at critical infrastructure targets nationwide, Ukraine shot down over 60, Ukraine’s Air Force reported. It added that the missiles were fired from the Caspian and the Black Sea, as well as Russia’s Rostov Oblast.

Despite air defense’s stellar performance, Zelensky said that four people had been killed by the attack. “Unfortunately, we still can’t completely defend our air,” he said in the evening address.

Power facilities in three regions – Kyiv, Odesa, and Vinnytsia oblasts – were hit by Russian missiles, Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said. Some regions were forced to enforce emergency blackouts to avoid accidents but repair is already underway, he added.

“Russia has tried again to implement its criminal plan to plunge Ukraine into darkness and cold,” Shmyhal said on Telegram. “Thanks to the heroic armed forces and air defense forces, the enemy once again failed.”

The strikes led to emergency power outages in at least six oblasts, including Odesa, Mykolaiv, Zhytomyr, Sumy, Dnipropetrovsk, and Cherkasy.

State-grid operator Ukrenergo said late on Dec. 5 that all regions would undergo emergency blackouts “to maintain a balance between the production and consumption of electricity.”

Neighboring Moldova experienced power supply interruptions once again during the Dec. 5 mass attack, the country’s national energy company Moldelectrica reported. The Moldovan Interior Ministry said part of a missile was also found by a police patrol near a northern village close to the Ukrainian border. The missile’s origin is still unspecified.

Moscow began its campaign targeting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure on Oct. 10. So far, Russia has launched six large-scale attacks on Ukraine – on Oct. 10, Oct. 17, Oct. 31, Nov. 15, Nov. 23, and Dec. 5. The previous attacks have killed dozens of civilians in total and caused power and water outages throughout the country. Ukraine has grappled with scheduled and emergency power outages to conserve electricity as harsh winter approaches.”-via Kyiv Independent

“Nine “Grain from Ukraine" ships with a combined 336,000 tons of agricultural products have left Odesa ports in the past two days, the Ukrainian Ministry of Infrastructure reported Sunday.

The program is a humanitarian initiative, with Ukraine planning to send over 60 ships of critically needed food products to Ethiopia, Sudan, South Sudan, Somalia, Congo, Kenya and Yemen.

“In the past two days, the ports of Greater Odesa sent 9 ships with 336,000 tons of agricultural products to the countries of Africa, Asia and Europe. Since the beginning of the implementation of the 'grain initiative,' the world has received 13 million tons of Ukrainian food," the Infrastructure Ministry wrote in a Facebook statement.”-via CNN

https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/peru-declares-state-emergency-regions-scorched-by-forest-fires-2024-09-18/

LIMA, Sept 18 (Reuters) - Peruvian President Dina Boluarte on Wednesday declared a state of emergency in three regions affected by devastating forest fires that have burned through swathes of the nation's Andean and Amazonian crop lands and left 16 dead.

The heavily forested northern regions of Amazonas, San Martin and Ucayali will be under the new emergency measures, she said, following several requests from local authorities for more resources to be allocated to fight the fires.

Forest fires are frequent in Peru between August and November, largely due to the burning of dry grasslands to expand agricultural frontiers and sometimes by land traffickers, according to data from Peru's environmental ministry.

Boluarte urged farming communities to stop burning grasslands as thousands of hectares have gone up in flames, while noting that the fires are also a result of the lack of rainfall caused by climate change.

Speaking at the government palace, the president said Peru had registered 238 fires across most of its regions, and some 80% of these were "controlled".

Ucayali's regional governor had earlier called for military aircraft to help firefighters and volunteers put out the fires that have spread to rugged, hard-to-access terrains and are damaging the area's palm and cocoa crops.

Satellite data analyzed by Brazil's space research agency earlier this month registered a record 346,112 fire hotspots so far this year across South America, surpassing the 2007 record of 345,322 hotspots in a data series that goes back to 1998.

How to Receive an Airplane Airworthiness Certificate For Your Aircraft

The Federal Aviation Administration has certain protections in place to make sure that all aircraft in the United States are suitable for flying. This is why they must first receive an airplane airworthiness certificate.

Airplane Airworthiness Certificate An airplane airworthiness certificate is a document issued by the Federal Aviation Administration that grants authorization for an aircraft to be operated in flight. This means that, in order for an aircraft to be allowed to fly at all, it needs to be certified as able and safe to do so by the Federal Aviation Administration. Thanks to this mechanism, only airplanes that don’t represent a danger to their crew or passengers can operate in American airspace. Think of it as a sort of quality control on the part of the FAA. To obtain the airplane airworthiness certificate, a registered owner (or someone officially acting on their behalf) has to apply for it. You can conveniently do so here on our platform.

Standard or Special Certificate? There are two kinds of airplane airworthiness certificates: standard and special. What’s the difference? A standard airworthiness certificate is the Federal Aviation Administration’s official authorization that allows for the operation of aircraft in the normal, utility, acrobatic, commuter, transport, manned free balloons, and special class categories. Meanwhile, the special airworthiness certificate one will apply for aircraft in categories such as primary (recreation and pleasure), restricted (agricultural, forest and wildlife conservation, aerial surveying, patrolling pipelines, and power lines, weather control, aerial advertising, other operations specified by the administrator), multiple certificates, limited, light sport, experimental (research and development, showing compliance with regulations, crew training, exhibition, air racing, market surveys, operating amateur-built aircraft, operating kit-built aircraft, operating light-sport aircraft, unmanned aircraft systems), special flight permits, and provisional.

The Steps of the Certification Process There are four steps that make part of the Federal Aviation Administration’s certification process, each meant to address a specific component of the aircraft’s performance.

The FAA will first review any proposed designs, as well as methods that will be used to show that these designs, and the overall aircraft, comply with their standards. They will conduct ground and flight tests to demonstrate the airplane does meet the standards set by the FAA. The FAA will evaluate the airplane to determine what the required maintenance and operational suitability would be for its introduction into actual operations and service. They will work with other authorities in civil aviation for their approval of the aircraft based on the work that has already been compiled by the FAA.

Submit Applications to the FAA Our team knows just how confusing and intimidating the Federal Aviation Administration applications for documentation can be, whether it is for initial registration, changes to the documentation, or any other process. Because of this, the National Aviation Center is ready to help guide you through whatever application you need to submit. You can conveniently find all forms here on our platform, as well as pointers on how to fill them out. Should you need help at any point, just write to us by way of our contact page and get your documentation in order in no time.

One significant hurdle is the cost competitiveness of SAFs compared to conventional jet fuels. Currently, SAFs are more expensive to produce due to higher production costs and limited economies of scale. This cost differential poses a barrier to widespread commercialization and adoption by airlines, especially in a highly competitive and cost-sensitive industry.

Another challenge is the availability and scalability of sustainable feedstocks for SAF production. While there is ample potential for biomass and waste-based feedstocks, scaling up production to meet aviation's global demand remains a logistical and technological challenge. Additionally, ensuring the sustainability and lifecycle environmental benefits of SAFs requires rigorous certification, verification, and regulatory frameworks to guarantee compliance with international sustainability standards as pointed out by flight enthusiasts including Douglas Matthews.

Current Adoption and Initiatives

Despite challenges, progress is being made in the adoption of sustainable aviation fuels. Many airlines and aviation stakeholders have committed to incorporating SAFs into their operations as part of their sustainability strategies. Collaborative initiatives between airlines, fuel producers, governments, and research institutions are driving innovation and investment in SAF production technologies and infrastructure.

Several countries, including the United States, have launched incentive programs and regulatory frameworks to promote SAF development and deployment. These initiatives include tax credits, grants, loan guarantees, and mandates that incentivize investment in SAF production facilities and encourage airlines to purchase SAFs. Aviation enthusiasts like Douglas Matthews emphasize that industry partnerships and alliances are crucial in advancing SAF adoption by sharing best practices, promoting knowledge exchange, and fostering collaboration across the aviation value chain.

Future Prospects and Innovations

Looking ahead, the future of sustainable aviation fuels appears promising. Advances in technology, such as synthetic biology and advanced biofuels production techniques, hold potential for reducing production costs and increasing SAF's availability. Innovations in feedstock diversity, including algae-based biofuels and carbon capture technologies, could further expand the range of sustainable feedstocks and improve SAF's environmental footprint.

Moreover, international cooperation and harmonization of SAF standards and regulations are essential for facilitating global market growth and ensuring a level playing field for SAF producers and consumers. Continued research and development investments in SAF technologies and infrastructure will be critical in accelerating market adoption and achieving long-term sustainability goals for the aviation industry as highlighted by aviation buffs such as Douglas Matthews.

Sustainable aviation fuels represent a transformative opportunity for the U.S. aviation sector to reduce its environmental impact and contribute to global climate goals. By leveraging the benefits of SAFs—such as lower greenhouse gas emissions, improved air quality, and enhanced energy security—the aviation industry can transition towards a more sustainable and resilient future. Addressing challenges in cost competitiveness, feedstock availability, and regulatory frameworks will require collaborative efforts from governments, industry stakeholders, and the research community. Through innovation, investment, and strategic partnerships, the United States can lead the way in integrating sustainable aviation fuels into mainstream aviation operations, paving the way for a greener and more sustainable aviation future.

In this clear and perhaps rather surprising view from 17,500’ (5,300m) beneath the surface of the Pacific, a 1941 International Harvester A14 “Shop Mule” sits still chained to the deck of aircraft carrier USS Hornet (CV-8). Most famous today for being host vessel of the successful Doolittle Raid in April of 1942, the carrier was later lost during the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands on October 27th of the same year. This and a number of other stunning photos were taken soon after the lost ship’s discovery by Paul Allen’s research vessel R/V Petrel in January of 2019 off the coast of the Solomon Islands, these being the first new images seen of Hornet in more than 76 years.

Similar in form and appearance to other International Harvesters of the period used in agricultural work, this machine would have been employed aboard as a tow tractor for use in moving aircraft.
