Explosive-Laden Goggles Sent To Russian FPV Drone Operators​

Russia is searching for the perpetrators of a scheme designed to blow up the heads of FPV drones operators, or at least induce fear of their kit. It mirrors the mass attack Israel carried out against Hezbollah last September using thousands of explosive-packed pagers and walkie-talkies.

No, there's absolutely no other details. I tried to find anything at all but that little press release was all that was said.

This MIGHT be related. I have no idea....

US special envoy on Zelenskyy's idea to provide Ukraine with nuclear weapons: The chance is between negligible and zero​

US Special Representative Keith Kellogg has rejected the possibility of Ukraine's return to nuclear weapons status and the corresponding weapons. In his opinion, these are not realistic plans that have zero chances of being implemented. «The chance that they will get their nuclear weapons back is somewhere between negligible and zero. Let's be honest, we both know that's not going to happen», he said.

Keith Kellogg, who was appointed by Donald Trump to coordinate the peace plan in the war, believes that the idea of nuclear arming Ukraine is doomed to failure.

Good to see the US position on that hasn't changed

Ukraine has all conditions for at least «dirty» nuclear weapons​

Former Foreign Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Ohryzko has said that if the issue of Ukraine's accession to NATO disappears, the country will defend itself against the Russian threat by all means possible. He said this in an interview with UNIAN, commenting on the words of US Special Representative for Ukraine and Russia Keith Kellogg that Ukraine's chance of returning nuclear weapons «is somewhere between small and zero».

The diplomat says that the Ukrainian side is not satisfied with ending the war at any cost — that is, at the expense of Ukraine itself. «And as for nuclear weapons, we have all the necessary conditions to ensure that at least «dirty» nuclear weapons end up in Ukrainian hands. This is not something that the US and Russia currently possess, but it can be a deterrent. They are freaking out there (in Russia, — note), but we have to think about our security», says Volodymyr Ohryzko.

So two distinct options: Admit Ukraine to NATO, or Ukraine will build dirty bombs and go nuclear.

Yes, but it puts Trump and Kellogg in a corner. Help Ukraine win and provide Ukraine with a failsafe security guarantee - which in essence means either NATO membership or NATO boots on the ground, OR Ukraine will build dirty nukes, which they could, very quickly. Probably real nukes too, in the end. It's not difficult these days.

Neither of these are something Putin would agree to, and Ukraine will not agree to anything less than real security guarantees, so the war will go on....likely into 2026 and a Russian collapse

Ukraine’s new military laser burns through metal, downs Russian drones​

Ukraine unveils metal-burning laser weapon system for downing Russian drones, with successful trials showing effectiveness at ranges exceeding two kilometers in latest military innovation. Ukraine has developed laser weaponry capable of taking down Russian drones in just a few months, according to the commander of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces, Vadym Sukharevskyi. He described the system as a “working solution” that “burns through metal” and is already “shooting down aircraft in trials.” The military is preparing to integrate these laser weapons alongside existing mobile fire teams that typically rely on machine guns and thermal imaging to counter drones.

In the end, it's Ukraine that decides that. If they decide they need dirty nukes, who's going to stop them?

Who is suggesting that they want to do that and why? (Hint: starts with an R)

Diplomacy would stop them.

Modern weapons, ancient lessons: Why Ukraine’s NATO-trained brigades struggle to deliver

THIS article is really worth a read, and I am not even going to try to summarize it. It's too long. too detailed, but it makes some very good points.

Russia: Cannon fodder collection at an MMA training club in Saint Petersburg. These are the rich kids and if they're doing this, desperation is setting in, because these kids will get the same training and be killed off just as fast as the others, which will NOT go down well at all. If these raids have reached St. Petersburg, then Russia is hard pressed. If they reach Moscow, the end is around the corner. The use of the Oreshnik was a hint that things are not going well for Russia.

Putin probably fed in his reserves in the hope that after Trumps takeover of the Presidency he can do a fast deal to keep what he has. Trump doesn't seem in any rush, and Zelensky is talking Trump's language now and going for a deal.

Russian war criminal, battery commander of the 112th Guards Missile Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces, Captain Konstantin Nagayko was blown up in the Ivanovo region by a bomb placed in a parcel. Konstantin Nagayko, while on duty on 3rd of January 2025, at a military unit, received the parcel and opened it. At that moment, the explosive device detonated.

He was involved in the attack on a cafe in the village of Groza in the Kharkov region of Ukraine during a funeral reception in 2023, which killed 59 civilians, including children. After the explosion he was taken to the surgical department of the Shuya Central District Hospital with severe injuries, but they were unable to help him there. Nagayko was transported by air ambulance to Ivanovo, where he underwent a craniotomy. Surgery did not help, and the officer died from his injuries last month. But the fact of the death of the Russian war criminal was only confirmed now.

Ust Luga is in Leningrad Oblast on the Gulf of Finland. Mazut is a low-quality heavy fuel oil. The port is close to the Estonian border, so more than likely Russian eco-terrorism

Now that we KNOW that the Biden Admin was playing fucking games with Ukraine Aid I'm going to post this to help the idiots that keep extolling Biden understand just what Biden did,

The US NEVER RAN OUT OF FUNDING during the budget talks.

Republicans NEVER blocked anything..

There was PLENTY of money in the accounts and we were making LOTS of ammo!!!!

Biden REDIRECTED the ammo to the IDF and stated it was due to the Republicans!!!!

At the same time he was refusing to use lend lease for Ukraine, he was sitting $6 BILLION of available fundng...

This was all BULL SHIT. Thousands of Ukrainian soldiers died due to Biden playing politics with aid for Ukraine.

Here is a quick search result for Russian shell production and obvious reason why we couldn't keep up under the Biden production capability:

As of early 2024, Russia's artillery shell production was estimated at approximately 250,000 rounds per month, totaling around 3 million shells annually.

cnn.com
By March 2024, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced a 2.5-fold increase in artillery shell production over the past year, indicating a significant ramp-up in manufacturing capabilities.
reuters.com
This surge in production has led to concerns among NATO members, as Russia's capacity to replenish its ammunition stocks and enhance its firepower has surpassed initial Western expectations.

Russian military pilots and their families are panicking. Ukrainian journalists who conducted an independent investigation found and declassified the classified documents of military pilots, military unit 75715, who carried out strikes on Ukrainian civilians.

Names, surnames, ranks, social media profiles, photos, all posted in the public domain on the Internet, right down to the addresses of their families. They report that the families of the russian pilots raised a howl when they found out that they were exposed: "They will find us and kill us all."

What can we say, what were you thinking about before? Imagine a person who has lost his home and his entire family. This is not a person, this is a homing torpedo. And there are more than enough of these unstoppable torpedoes for everyone. We spend the last 75 years chasing down Nazis. I suspect Ukraine will be doing the same with these war criminals.....

Wow. Here you go....
