Ukraine Soldiers Training in Biloxi?

 Ukrainian soldiers are training with Switchblade drones  in Biloxi.  Lucas Tomlinson of Fox News tweeted: 


Update (4/12): A question mark was added to the headline because the Sun-Herald reported the soldiers are training at the Stennis Space Center: 

The troops from Ukraine completed training at the Naval Small Craft Instruction and Technical Training School at the John C. Stennis Space Center in Hancock County. The group enrolled in the U.S. Special Operations Command’s previously scheduled training program long before Russia’s invasion on Feb. 24. The training included patrol craft operations, communications and maintenance, said John F. Kirby, Pentagon press secretary. While in Mississippi, the small group of international security force personnel took part in tactical training in small crafts along the Pearl River and worked with unmanned aircraft. Article.
So who you gonna believe, Fox News or the Sun-Herald

I feel terrible for those people in Ukraine.

Even though I am not well versed in World politics, it's not hard to tell the destruction, death and suffering underway.

One item I will comment on is the chicken shit position our President has taken concerning supporting the MIG aircraft that were asked for by the Ukraine government.

I guess he's forgotten who supplied all of the MIGs to the North Vietnamese during the Vietnam war. I say f--k Putin, gas up those MIGs and dare him to do anything about it.

@ 949 -he has also evidently forgotten the Nunn-Lugar agreement that we would provide protection for Ukraine if they gave up the nukes left in their boundaries by the USSR back in Willie Jeff's administration of the 1990's.

Biden is trying to walk the same tightrope that he always takes, and in this case he has a family 'interest' to protect. Or hide. Whatever.

Forget all that political shit. He is refusing to take a side in this time of crisis. And if our guys in the Ukraince can't hold out, we will face it again once Putin crosses over a border into a NATO territory - when we have to start shooting down folks rather than just provide the aircraft to do it with.

OK. Answer, although the story is good either way.

Is it at Keesler, in Biloxi (Harrison County) or Stennis (Hancock County)
?

My bet is Keesler, makes more sense, which would be Biloxi. But with no garbage veto to discuss tonight, might as well ask questions about something that seems to be significant.

Ukraine is ground zero for corruption on a worldwide scale - and the Bidens were knee deep in it during Obama's tenure. Putin is merely protecting his back porch. Yes, far too many innocent civilians are tragically caught in the middle, but Zelensky was installed with the help of the U.S. government to further the corruption, and Putin is calling the U.S.'s bluff to expose it.

The media is more than happy to use the conflict to distract everyone away from seeing the invasion at the southern border - and Fentanyl is flooding into America and devastating communities.

It's amazing how everyone now knows that the mainstream media has been flat out lying for the last three years, and now all of a sudden, their telling the truth? Wake up useful idiots.

Putin is unquestionably the most powerful person in the history of the world. He has the ability control food and gas prices as well as elections in other countries. He is even able to determine levels of inflation in the US.

I recently read that the economy and corruption are so bad in Ukraine that they suffered worse brain drain than Mississippi. They were losing 100k young people a year. And they lost 300k, mostly female, in 2020 alone. Even before the war, young people saw no future for themselves in tue corrupt, agrarian Ukraine. Young people, mostly women, could get a free education in Germany or France and would never return. Educated Ukrainian women can earn more working as a waitress in Western Europe, than the normal salary of a Ukrainian government employee. And we all know how much they were paying Hunter Bribe’em.

The Stennis Space Center is 56 miles from Biloxi. If the media gets simple things like this egregiously wrong, how are we supposed to believe anything else they say.

Unless you’re of fighting age and will be strapping your boots on and picking up a rifle, then just keep your mouth shut. As a 30 year old male I’m tired of these baby boomers trying to get us into a war that doesn’t involve us.

"Why would you post this sensitive information?"

This is actually old information. According to the Defense Department, Ukranian Soldiers were in classroom training here in February when Russia's invasion of their sovereignty began...and were in Virginia when this blog post appeared.

I have to agree with 12:59 on this. Why divulge this info? Of course, we do need to give assistance. It sure is strange that WWI was began a little over 750 miles away from Ukraine in The city of Sarajevo and WWII was begun when Germany invaded Poland which is a little over 700 miles as way from Ukraine. That area has been a hot bed of sorts for too long.

6:42 AM You criticizes the media YET there is no free press in Russia. In China it is even worse. Just the state media. 80 % of all Russians agree with Putin. Don't complain about no food with your mouth full!

There is NO Kingfish in Russia or China.

Sleep Joe Biden is to old for the job. He's is a incoherent train wreak. His son Hunter Biden is a grifter which sleep Joe is protecting. Obama did nothing on the foreign scene. How many American lives will it take to fix this mess? Not many liberal that's for sure. They don't believe in this country. Let someone else die for my freedom.

When I was on active city, I trained to fire an earlier version of this weapon. I hope they have improved it. One major problem with it was it left a vapor trail showing the target exactly were you fired from, and believe me, they missed a lot. This earlier version was called a “red eye” missile.

I know where the Navy SEALs train in coastal Mississippi and that’s where the Ukrainian boys are.
And they’re not flying drones.

9:38 : Do you now ? You also got a seal tat ?

Not hard people.

Stennis houses SBT 22(SEALs) along with Naval Small Craft Instructional and Technical Training School.... among other things.

These dudes trained at NSCITTS and apparently trained with Switchblade drones. They were scheduled to train there before Russia invaded. This training was not predicated on the Russian invasion.

Secondly, news article states they were talking to them in Biloxi before departing back home. Hence, training was complete and they were either at Keesler or the Biloxi airport getting ready to ride back home.

10:24 : Not hard at all and quite telling that Ukrainian special forces have been training here in the states and it just so happens Paper Tiger Putin started a "war". I imagine this was planned back in 2014 when we installed The Actor as Ukraine leader. HRC and the big red button ? Like Covid, we are being duped again. Same ol same ol when a Dem is in charge.

"...military professionals from the Bahamas, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Germany, Jamaica, Latvia, Mauritania, Mauritius, Poland, the Republic of Korea and Romania..."

This sales presenta..., er, training session was a couple of months ago, planned before the invasion of Ukraine, was not a secret, and from the nations-roster of attendees alone (Mauritius has only national defense/police forces and the Bahamas and Jamaica don't have "national" armies, air forces, etc. per se, they have combined "defense forces" with the Queen as CIC), it clearly wasn't a top-secret gathering of elite forces swapping combat experiences on use of the latest in miltech.

Agreed. America has known for the past few years of Russia’s intentions as far as the region goes. America will never sit around and allow another country (especially USSR) to devalue and eventually destroy its currency, and rightfully so. With the Ukrainian invasion, Putin is playing chess, positioning himself for financial control (however corrupt) in the region.

Are. You. Serious? It is important to us. It is important to the world, that one human can come across to obliterate its neighbor. Do you think that's where it stops? Poland understands. They remember Hitler.

I posted this link before 8 a.m. this morning and you goobs are still speculating as to where and when the training took place, when the troops departed and where they were when the news leaked (late).

Well, that's not too good. The DOD apparently doesn't know where its own schools are. The school is not in Biloxi/Harrison County, it is at Stennis in Hancock County. I have no idea why anyone friend or foe, foreign or domestic, other than attendees, would have the slightest interest in or want to argue about anything to do with that training or location but for those that do just Google "Naval Small Craft Instruction and Technical Training School" for all the boring details about hull and outboard motor/marine diesel maintenance, etc.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
