  1. The Engels air base in Saratov, Russia, is still burning, 4 days after it was struck by multiple Ukrainian UAVs. According to sources of the Telegram channel Cheka-OGPU, three tanks of 120,000 cubic meters each were completely destroyed by fire, and six more were seriously damaged. The tank facility, which stored fuel for the military airfield, about 800,000 tons of fuel, was put out of action. „Currently, the Russian Emergency Ministry has an acute shortage of foaming agent for extinguishing burning oil and fuel. Firefighters are now forced, as they say, to accompany fires at oil depots and monitor the fuel burnout.“
  2. N.K. soldier captured by Ukraine says he thought was going to training, not war: Kyiv https://m-en.yna.co.kr/view/AEN20250112000600315?input=feed_smartnews
  3. Just need him to convince the new POTUS Our soldiers have captured North Korean military personnel in the Kursk region. Two soldiers, though wounded, survived and were transported to Kyiv, where they are now communicating with the Security Service of Ukraine. This was not an easy task: Russian forces and other North Korean military personnel usually execute their wounded to erase any evidence of North Korea’s involvement in the war against Ukraine. I am grateful to the soldiers of Tactical Group No. 84 of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as our paratroopers, who captured these two individuals. As with all prisoners of war, these two North Korean soldiers are receiving the necessary medical assistance. I have instructed the Security Service of Ukraine to grant journalists access to these prisoners. The world needs to know the truth about what is happening.
  4. I'm sure some Surly folks will be willing to comfort her during this difficult time
  5. For the first time in history, a 🇺🇦Ukrainian F-16 fighter destroyed 6 🇷🇺cruise missiles in one sortie, - former spokesman for the Ukrainian Air Force Ignat According to the former spokesman for the Air Force, our pilot showed such a result during a massive attack on December 13, 2024. More context: The Ukrainian technological advances in drone warfare reached another milestone. Only days after downing at least 2 Russian helicopters, Ukrainian USVs launched UAVs against Russian coastal air defense systems. During this operation two Pantsir-S1 and one 9K33 Osa was struck. The first operation of that kind was reported one month ago, but this strike shows the capabilities and efficiencies of Ukrainian drone warfare, where valuable and expensive air defense assets worth $50 million of the Russian army get eliminated with an invest, which make up only a fraction of it. It also further exposes Russian defenses along the Black Sea coast That's impressive: Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrskyi, "says Ukrainian unmanned system operators successfully targeted over 54,000 russian assets during the month. Importantly, 49% of targets, or approximately 26,500, were taken down by kamikaze drones. He specifically praised the Birds of the Magyar (aka Kryla Madiara) unit led by Major Robert Brovdy, which evolved from a drone operators company into the 414th Separate Brigade of Unmanned Aerial Systems within a year. Among the UAV units, remarkably high effectiveness was demonstrated by: the unmanned systems detachment of the 46th airmobile brigade; the 57th Motorized Infantry Brigade; the 28th Mechanized Brigade; the 35th Marine Brigade; the 3rd Assault Brigade." en.defence-ua.com/news/ukrainian… t.me/osirskiy/1031
  6. Yes. This is the point that's been in my mind but I've been unable to actually articulate. Unrelated: So you don't have to click:
  7. This is easily one of the best threads in the history of Shaggy/Surly and full of an incredible wealth of valuable and reliable information. Thanks for helping to keep it that way.
  8. Full interview if you're so inclined
  9. "I asked USA to transport weapons by Ukrainian planes so as not to overpay American companies, but they refused me," — Zelensky ‼️"We could have received more weapons, but we had to pay for these expensive planes. Some companies are lobbying for such decisions, but I could not speak about it out loud, I did not want to incite a scandal. Therefore, when talking about corruption, one should ask — if there were $177 billion, and we received half, then where is the rest?"
  10. Primarily about negotiations and bargaining power at this point. Hope to see more of these targeted operations.
  11. Some maps of the location of the operation
  12. I believe it only impacts it if it's unpaid for over a year and over $500
  13. An issue that has been raised by some reliable reporters on Twitter. I appreciate the context that the military leaders and Zelenskyy are attempting to navigate, which makes me more angry that Ukraine's allies have put then in a position where they feel they have to sacrifice the best military decision for the good of a political decision. Ukraine’s Newest Leopard 2 Brigade Began Disintegrating Before It Reached The Front Line The 155th Mechanized Brigade’s troops and tanks may have been more useful as reinforcements for existing units.
  14. Yes, although they both seem to be following the same pattern so barring large discrepant changes in in the Yuan or dollar, the ruble's movement seems to be self-inflicted
