Russia's Pulkovo Airport in St. Petersburg temporarily suspended all flights on February 28, the city government said. It did not provide a reason. An unconfirmed media report from online Russian news outlet Baza said an unidentified object had been spotted in the sky and that fighter jets had been dispatched to investigate. Reuters could not immediately confirm the report. Data from the Flight Radar website showed a number of domestic flights headed for St. Petersburg turning back.

Alien drones man, alien drones.

 "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?"

Full interview if you're so inclined

 

Lex is giving strong "just give the bully what he wants" energy. President Zelensky sitting down in a room with Trump and Putin to "compromise" does not end well for Ukraine, as fridman so vapidly wishes and "dreams".

It's like lex is trying to protect a future interview with putin by not saying anything to offend that strong man authoritarian

New year, same war. 

Interesting data I read this morning on polling and YoY changes:

Quote

 

Almost three years into Putin's full attempted invasion, Ukrainians are tired. Russians are too, but polling just last week suggests around 38% of Ukrainians are now open to Putin keeping some of Ukraine's land to end the war, up from just 8% in 2022.

Meanwhile, 51% of Ukrainians say Ukraine shouldn't give up its land under any circumstances — that's down from 85% in 2022. Support for Zelensky is down, too.

But in parallel, a record 73% of Ukrainians now support their country re-developing nuclear weapons, which they surrendered 30 years ago in return for US-UK-French-Russian security guarantees. We're seeing that rekindled interest in nukes in multiple places, by the way, as rattled capitals everywhere revisit their own security assumptions.

Not specifically Ukraine but drone warfare generally:

HellHives deliver ready-to-go drone squadrons. To prove that they can do this easily at low cost, the team have carried out demonstrations using actual cardboard boxes. More sophisticated HellHives are weatherproof with self-opening lids and can be positioned well ahead of use. They can be activated remotely with no need for human presence

 

 

 

they also developed a cheap hook to use for hanging the drone from anything handy:

Not sure if there is a watch party, but Manning's might be an option.

I'm curious which pictures of Arch they picked to hang on the walls. I new the next time I was in New Orleans, he would have a picture in there.

Colts Manning Jersey. We left Bourbon an hour before that dumbass drove down. Was a somber trip and Sugar Bowl game.

This is a BFD and not in a good way.  Laura Cooper is for sure not everyone’s cup of tea but she is a badass and one of the most capable and realistic Russia hawks out there.  A big loss for us and for Ukraine.  The Pentagon is going to have a huge knowledge and credibility gap in the Russia space, she was the big gun in an agency that has been zeroed in on the sandbox and Pacific.

Not sure what this board's position on Lex Fridman.  But here is with President Zelenskyy for 3 hours:

Says he's going to Moscow next.

It’s super fucking embarrassing for our country that it’s worth Zelenskyy’s time to go on his platform.

Yes. This is the point that's been in my mind but I've been unable to actually articulate.

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."
