AWACS, not to worry in production now. Last?, never have I seen that espoused. I understand 9 in service and production of upgraded AWACS will be produced. Russians are constantly upgrading all technologies. Factories operating 24/7. So we spend money lavishly. I don't see the benefits. Media fantasies abound however.

[LB] Night air attack, 73 combat clashes, loss of occupiers, enemy shelling, explanation of the Vatican press service regarding the Pope's statement about the "white flag".
On the night of March 10, 35 of the 39 attack UAVs attacked by the Russian Federation were destroyed in the sky over Ukraine.
This is reported by the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. "On the night of March 10, 2024, the Russian occupiers hit 4 S-300 anti-aircraft guided missiles on Kharkiv region and Donetsk region and 39 attack UAVs of the "Shahed" type (areas of drone launches - Cape Chauda, Crimea, Primorsko-Akhtarsk - RF)", - says the message.
As a result of combat work, 35 "Shakheds" were shot down in the Kirovohrad, Mykolaiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Cherkasy, Odesa, Kherson, Khmelnytskyi, Vinnytsia, Kyiv and Zhytomyr regions.
"Most of the targets were destroyed by the forces and means of mobile fire groups of the Defense Forces of Ukraine. Fighter aircraft, anti-aircraft missile units of the Air Force, and electronic warfare equipment were also involved in repelling the air attack," the Air Force added.
Meanwhile, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reports that 73 combat clashes took place during the day.
In total, the enemy launched 5 rocket and 95 air strikes, carried out 136 attacks from rocket salvo systems on the positions of our troops and populated areas.

On the Novopavlivskyi direction, the defense forces continue to hold back the enemy in the areas of Krasnohorivka, Georgiivka, and Novomykhailivka of the Donetsk region, where the enemy, with the support of aviation, tried more than 30 times to break through the defenses of our troops.
In the Orihiv direction, 8 enemy attacks were repulsed in the areas east of Levadny, Robotyny and west of Vervovy of the Zaporizhzhia region.
More details about the operational situation as of the morning of March 10 - in our news.
The General Staff also informs that during the day Ukrainian defenders destroyed another 900 Russian invaders, 19 tanks, 27 armored vehicles, and 38 artillery systems. The total losses of the Russian Federation in Ukraine amounted to 424,060 people.
Other enemy losses are in the news.
On the night of March 10, the Russian army hit Mirnograd in Donetsk region with three missiles. As a result of the attack, ten people were injured, three of them were hospitalized, reported the head of the Donetsk OVA, Vadym Filashkin.
"The Russians fired 3 S-300 missiles at Mirnograd: at least 9 people were wounded, including a teenager, 9 high-rise buildings and 27 cars were damaged," he said.
The Prosecutor General's Office reports that 11 people, including a teenager, were injured as a result of the nighttime firing of S-300 missiles on Mirnograd. Prosecutors record the consequences of the shelling. At least 17 high-rise buildings and 27 cars were damaged.
According to the investigation, on March 10, 2024, around 03:00 a.m., the Russian occupying forces hit Mirnograd, probably with missiles of the S-300 type. Kissed in the residential neighborhood of the city. As a result of enemy shelling, 11 people were injured - a 16-year-old boy, five women and the same number of men aged from 34 to 95 years. The elderly were diagnosed with mine-explosive injuries, cut wounds, multiple wounds, closed craniocerebral trauma and concussion.
The Vatican press service explained the words of the Pope, which he said in an interview with Swiss radio and television: Pope Francis calls for a ceasefire and the resumption of negotiations, not the surrender of Ukraine, writes Vatican News.
As noted by the head of the press service of the Vatican, Matteo Bruni, the Pope uses the term "white flag" and in response uses the image suggested by the interviewer to denote the cessation of hostilities, a truce achieved thanks to the courage of negotiations. "Elsewhere in the interview, speaking of another conflict situation, but referring to any military situation, the Pope made it clear: 'Negotiations are never surrender.'
To the question of journalist Lorenzo Bukcell, what is the opinion of the Pontiff regarding the fact that in Ukraine there are those who call for the courage to surrender, to show the white flag, Francis answered: "This is an interpretation, but I believe that the stronger is the one who sees the situation, who thinks about people who have the courage of the white flag to negotiate. And today it is possible to negotiate with the help of international forces. The word "negotiate" is a bold word. When you see that you are defeated, that things are not going well, you must have courage to negotiate. Shame on you, but how many deaths will it end in? Negotiate in time, look for some country to mediate. Today, for example, in the war in Ukraine, there are many who want to mediate. Turkey, she offered herself for this. And others. Feel free to negotiate before it gets worse."
According to the press service of the Vatican, the "white flag" is nothing more than a call for peace talks. At the same time, Pope Francis' statement caused a wave of indignation in Ukraine.

[Korrespondent] 22:57 Zelensky said that he had a “long and substantive” telephone conversation with Macron: “We discussed the current situation on the battlefield and the results of the International Conference in Support of Ukraine, which recently took place in Paris. He thanked for the strong defense package of February 16, as well as "for the personal leadership of the French President on the issue of creating a coalition of long-range weapons, new initiatives and all statements in support of Ukraine. In addition, we exchanged views on the expected results of our upcoming meeting in Ukraine in the near future."
Also, the Ukrainian president, in an evening video message, commented on the statement of the Pope: “When Russian evil began this war on February 24, all Ukrainians stood up for defense. Christians, Muslims, Jews - everyone... This is what the church is - with people. half a thousand kilometers - somewhere there to engage in virtual mediation between the one who wants to live and the one who wants to destroy you."
18:18 Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said in the Polish parliament that “some countries” of NATO have already sent their military to Ukraine.

Overview #Summary for the morning of March 10, 2024
Western militarism is playing out more and more. European countries, led by American managers, openly declare that they are considering the possibility of sending military contingents to Ukraine. Apparently, at the initial stage they will carry out the task of releasing units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine employed in the rear regions of Ukraine.
So far we are talking about military personnel from France and the Baltic states. Kyiv is taking measures to additionally mobilize up to half a million people; demonstrative footage of 34 Ukrainian draft dodgers unsuccessfully trying to escape from the country in a small minibus has gone viral.
The enemy is increasing the production of drones of all types. A recent massive attack on Russian regions by aircraft-type UAVs showed experts that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are strengthening their engines and warhead. At the front, enemy FPVs, reconnaissance drones and bombers are also of great importance.
At the same time, in some issues the Ukrainian Armed Forces are ahead of us. In particular, the enemy is able to simultaneously use up to 25 FPV at different frequencies, which indicates the number of operators and technological capabilities of the enemy. This approach of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, of course, is only suitable for defensive actions, which the enemy still conducts effectively. To the front.
– In the Kherson direction, the notorious Krynki and the area of “dachas” near the Antonovsky Bridge remain the zone of presence of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Using large groups of infantry for clearing is ineffective, since the enemy immediately covers with massive fire from artillery and drones. The prospects for our crossing the Dnieper are also complicated by the huge network of fortifications and engineering obstacles on the enemy bank.
– On the Zaporozhye front, the main battles take place in the Rabotino-Verbovoe pocket. Despite the bloody battles, local battles are actually taking place without significant changes in the LBS. The Ukrainian Armed Forces have managed to accumulate reserves and are preparing for counterattack actions.
– Protracted battles are taking place near Mar'inka: to the west to Kurakhovo through Georgievka, to the north – to Krasnogorovka. To the south, the Russian Armed Forces are advancing in Novomikhailovka.
– West of Avdievka, the front line runs in the area of ??the same Tonenkoye, Orlovka, Berdychi.
– In the direction to Chasov Yar, our troops are moving through Ivanovskoye (Krasnoe), there are battles near Bogdanovka. In Kleshcheevka they report the advance of our troops. At the same time, they note that the Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers are showing staunch resistance.
– Fighting continues near Belogorovka, settlement. Terny, Sin'kovki. There are no significant changes.
– The border regions of Russia (Kursk, Bryansk, Belgorod regions) are subject to constant terrorist attacks by the enemy. Our troops intercept most of the missiles and drones, but only the creation of a “buffer zone” can change the situation.
– Thus, the front line has remained without significant changes in recent days. The enemy is competently conducting a defensive operation, erecting fortifications in threatened areas, and effectively using many drones and artillery to contain our troops. However, the Russian Armed Forces are extremely successful in using their superiority in the FAB with UMPC to attack frontline areas where the Ukrainian Armed Forces are concentrated, and use missile weapons and Geranium UAVs to destroy enemy military targets behind enemy lines.

[Regnum] The demands of Polish farmers to ban the import of Ukrainian agricultural products were refused to be fulfilled by the European Commission (EC), since Warsaw had already unilaterally banned the import of grain into the country from the territory of Ukraine. This statement was made on March 10 by Deputy Head of the European Commission Valdis Dombrovskis on the air of a Ukrainian TV channel.
“About Ukrainian grain. If you look at this situation, it raises many questions, because Poland has already unilaterally banned the import of Ukrainian grain. Why are Polish farmers protesting against grain from Ukraine if it is already banned? In theory, even if I were going to agree to the protesters' demands, what should I do? Ban something that is already banned? - Dombrovskis explained.
Answering a question about the timing of unblocking the Ukrainian-Polish border, the EC representative indicated that this situation would have been resolved long ago if it had been approached rationally from the beginning. In addition, Dombrovskis noted that the legality of the ban on the import of Ukrainian grain is questionable and the EC is ready to take action against Hungary, Poland and Slovakia, where this ban is in effect.
Dombrovskis emphasized that if the situation does not improve, the European Commission may launch a procedure for violating EU standards by countries that have banned the import of Ukrainian grain. The diplomat also said that he intends to visit Warsaw to discuss the situation around Ukrainian agricultural products with the Polish leadership.
Earlier, IA Regnum reported that the Polish government decided to negotiate with farmers after clashes with the police in order to resolve the current situation. Prime Minister Donald Tusk clarified that he does not intend to close the border with Ukraine.
But after a meeting with the Prime Minister of Poland, the farmers decided to continue the protests, since nothing could be agreed upon.
Farmer protests have been taking place in Poland since November 2023. Participants block entrances to checkpoints and highways, pour grain out of trucks with Ukrainian license plates. They demanded a stop to the import of Ukrainian food into the EU, noting that dumping by producers from a neighboring country leads to losses for farmers throughout the European Union. On February 28, Tusk announced the possible temporary closure of the border with Ukraine.
Polish President Andrzej Duda spoke out in support of farmers who staged protests on the border with Ukraine. The head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, in an address to citizens on March 3, said that what was happening on the Polish-Ukrainian border went beyond morality, and pointed out the need to resolve the situation.
