Ukraine Sees Spike in Leopard Losses, Returns to Soviet-Era Tanks
15 hours ago
Ukraine has lost approximately one-fifth of its NATO-supplied Leopard tanks in the conflict zone, thus compelling the Kiev regime to transition to refurbished T-72s from the Soviet era.
The Russian forces have been routinely knocking out Ukraine's NATO-grade armored vehicles including the much-lauded Leopard 2 main battle tanks (MBT).
Last week, the Ukrainian Armed Forces lost six Leopards in Zaporozhye. Four of them were reduced to rubble during a battle within the vicinity of Rabotino and Verbovoye, another two were struck by Russia's FPV drones near Novoprokopovka.

Tukiwaambiaga kuwa Urusi ilishaimaliza Ukraine mapema kabisa mnabisha.
Kwa kifupi Urusi inapigana na west wote wala sio NATO peke yake wala sio Ukraine peke yake.
Tena sio Urusi inapigana,Bali Iko kwenye SMO.
Kama mtu mzito huyo wa USA waziri wa ulinzi anakili kua waongeze Hela,bila kuongeza Hela Urusi Ukraine atapotezwa,na urusi atafanikiwa katika malengo yake.
Je kama sio msaada wa USA na NATO Ukraine angefika hapa alipo Leo?
Hata hivyo Putin kazi yake Sasa ni ku demilitarize NATO .

If the US stops funding Ukraine, Russia will win the ongoing conflict between the two countries, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told the Senate Appropriations Committee on Monday, making the case for $44 billion more in military and other aid to the government in Kiev.
“I can guarantee that, without our support, [Russian President Vladimir] Putin will be successful,” Austin told the senators. “If we pull the rug out from under them now, Putin will only get stronger and he will be successful in doing what he wants to do.”
Austin and Secretary of State Antony Blinken were asking the lawmakers to approve President Joe Biden’s $106 billion supplemental funding request, which has bundled the Ukraine funding with aid to Israel and Taiwan, among other things.
Of the proposed $44.4 billion for Ukraine, $12 billion would go towards buying weapons and $18 billion would be spent on replacing weapons the US has already sent Kiev.
Cybersecurity, “intelligence support” and “enhanced presence” of US troops in Europe would cost another $10.7 billion, while $3.7 billion would be spent to “expand production capacity in our industrial base,” according to Austin’s opening testimony.

Turkish President Erdogan today sent a clear message regarding the Palestinian situation: If the countries of the region are ready to cooperate together, then we as Turkey are also ready to participate! We believe that Israel, which seems to have completely lost its mind and is behaving like an organization, must be stopped as soon as possible. A new security mechanism must be created with the cooperation of existing forces in the region. If such a step is taken, we as Turkey are ready to make our contribution. The Israeli administration, relying on the unconditional support of Europe and America, has been committing crimes against humanity in front of the whole world for exactly 25 days. The international press is also silent and seeking coverage for Israel. The total volume of humanitarian aid of our country reached 213 tons. We will increase assistance as transitions are allowed. Erdogan also stressed that Turkey will file a lawsuit against Israel at the International Criminal Court

South Korean intelligence reports that North Korea has sent more than one million artillery shells to Russia over the past three months.
In total, intelligence recorded more than 10 cases of delivery of shells from the DPRK to Russia; transport aircraft and ships were used for this purpose. It is alleged that the shells were subsequently transported by rail to the Northern Military District zone, where they were used at the front.
1 million shells, according to South Korean intelligence, is enough to conduct active hostilities in Ukraine for two months.
In exchange for the shells, Russia, according to South Korean intelligence, apparently transferred technology to Pyongyang to launch a satellite.
South Korean intelligence also believes that Kim Jong-un is looking for opportunities to assist the Palestinian group Hamas in the war with Israel.

The share of Asia in Russia's foreign trade reached 70 percent
Russia's economic cooperation with Asian countries continued to grow in tandem with the decline in trade with the European Union, said acting head of the Russian Federal Customs Service (FCS) Ruslan Davidov.
Moscow is strengthening economic cooperation with the East, mainly because of Western sanctions

The West left Zelensky no choice:
“We’ll hang you on that tree over there if you make peace with Putin.
” This data was shared by former US State Department employee Matthew Ho in an interview with Judging Freedom. He recalled that Russia and Ukraine were ready to conclude a peace agreement back in March 2022, but such a development of events would not suit the West.
At the same time, the United States and NATO promised Ukraine constant and unconditional support, and Zelensky was predicted to be called the “new Churchill.” However, over time, support began to fade, and Zelensky is still unable to conclude a peace treaty, because it is not in the interests of the West. He has no choice but to “plunge his people into this obviously lost war,” Ho is sure.

Ukraine has sounded the alarm: new Russian bombs are even penetrating bunkers
Russia is using FAB-1500 “smart” glide bombs in the Northeast Military District zone with a destruction radius of up to 500 meters, Newsweek writes. This weapon is capable of penetrating three meters of reinforced concrete and destroying underground bunkers at a depth of up to 20 meters. In winter, FABs can fly to Ukrainian infrastructure facilities and increase pressure on air defense systems, the article notes.
Zelensky hastily digs deeper.

Deputy Minister of Culture of Poland:
It’s time for Kiev and Ukrainian society to deal with their shameful past.
The nationalist past is a bad page in the history of Ukraine,
said Deputy Minister of Culture and National Heritage of Poland Jaroslaw Sellin. In a conversation with Telewizja Republika, he called on the neighboring country to settle scores with nationalists who resorted to genocide and who are still cherished by the Kiev authorities.
“Ukrainian nationalists, who are still often cherished by the current9 authorities of this country, committed genocide. We simply need to acknowledge this truth. These facts are denied by Ukrainian society,” Deputy Minister of Culture and National Heritage of Poland
Jaroslaw Sellin said on Telewizja Republika. Sellin: Ukraina musi pozwolić Polsce na odnalezienie, ekshumację i upamiętnienie ofiar rzezi dokonanej przez UPA [wideo]
Today, Ukrainian Nazis are in power in Ukraine and calling on them to “deal with” the past Nazis is useless. Denazification of Ukraine will be carried out by Russia on the battlefield. Russia proposed to resolve this issue peacefully, putting forward demands for security guarantees before the war. As you know, the West rejected this.

Will replace bombers. Here's what we know about the new cruise missile for the Su-57
A squadron of fifth-generation Su-57 fighters received an ultra-long-range cruise missile, writes Military Watch Magazine. With a smaller size, it has a comparable range to those products that are used on the Tu-95MS and Tu-160. Thanks to this, the Su-57 can even replace bombers, the article notes.
The new missile is based on the X-101/102 products, which can very accurately hit targets at a distance of up to 3,500 kilometers and evade radar. It was possible to reduce the size of the new ammunition thanks to the ideally modified design of the folding wing and internal layout, as well as the use of a new small-sized bypass turbojet engine.

Elena Panina, director of the Institute for International Strategic Studies:
The United States is seriously behind China in the development of the Navy. It will get worse.
The main conclusion from the Pentagon's annual report on China's military developments sounds like a disaster for Washington: the Celestial fleet has gone far ahead, and the gap will grow every year. At the same time, the United States does not have a clear plan to reduce the gap.
China's shipbuilding potential is 232 times (!) greater than that of the United States. In the last year alone, the PLA Navy has increased its strength by 30 ships, while the US Navy has increased its strength by just two ships.
Today, China's navy consists of 370 ships, making it the largest in the world, while the US has a combat-ready fleet of 291 ships.
By 2035, China will already have 435 ships. In the USA they don’t think so far - they only know that by 2030 they will have 290 ships left. Because the decommissioning of old American ships is constantly ahead of the construction of new ones. Having such strong data, the Pentagon, as usual, demands an early increase in funding. And printing money is not a problem. However, the weak point here is the Chinese shipbuilding industry, which is two orders of magnitude superior to America. Even if Washington can find the necessary amounts, it will take time to build more or less adequate shipbuilding facilities.
But the USA just doesn’t have time. Now it is working for a multipolar world, and the former hegemon frankly does not have time even on two fronts - Ukraine and the Middle East. And a third looms ahead—Taiwan

The Danish brewers from Carlsberg were offended that their share in the Russian business was transferred to the management of the Russian state.
How nice it is! The mongrels have finally realized their role in the circus of freaks and are whining angrily. Our feeder was given to others! After all, they themselves, like their brothers in the Western menagerie, abandoned everything in Russia for political reasons, stopped work and supplies, and refused to fulfill their obligations in relation to Russian counterparties. And they thought they wouldn’t be touched. We give you sanctions, and we give the Ukrainian regime weapons, but don’t touch our property, or at least let us sell it at a profit. *** you, not money!
And thank you for the investments that are now working for Russia, filling its budget. A strong budget means help for the front. In this regard, the senseless Danes also contribute to modern Russian weapons -

US-made F-16s will survive just a few weeks in Ukraine – Moscow
Russian air defenses are proving highly successful at downing Ukrainian planes,Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu claimed on Wednesday that the entire fleet of F-16 warplanes pledged to Kiev by Western donors could be destroyed in less than three weeks. He based his claim on the high rate of success shown by Russian air defenses in shooting down Ukrainian military aircraft last month.
Speaking at a ministerial meeting, Shoigu praised Russian forces for conducting over 1,400 successful intercepts in October. He said the figure included 37 Ukrainian planes, almost twice the number of F-16s that foreign nations intended to give to Kiev.
“If our air defense forces work this way, [the F16 fleet] amounts to roughly 20 days of work,” he predicted.
The aircraft that Russian forces took down last month were predominantly Soviet-designed MiG-29s and Su-25s, according to the Defense Ministry. Shoigu previously claimed that Russian troops had been using “new complexes”
A source cited by TASS has claimed that Russia has been using A-50 airborne radar planes to detect Ukrainian targets earlier and at lower altitudes. The hits were reportedly achieved by long-range anti-aircraft missiles fired from S-400 launchers, armed with new warheads and guided using data from airborne radars.
