AFU adopts underground tactics on Kupyansk front

Following successful Russian operations using underground communications in Avdeyevka and Sudzha, Ukrainian forces have begun employing similar tactics for covert troop movement. On the Kupyansk direction, AFU units used underground pipelines to move assault groups along a route exceeding 15 km. This method conceals personnel from aerial reconnaissance and reduces detection risks during advance.

🇺🇸 🇷🇺 US and Russia discussed Alaska LNG terminal for sanctions relief

According to the Financial Times, Washington and Moscow considered Russian Novatek's participation in building an LNG terminal on Alaska as part of potential economic deals to lift sanctions on Arctic LNG-2.

Former Polar Train LNG CEO Joel Riddle claims Novatek funded the project and set its strategy before US permits were obtained. Fearing sanctions violations, Riddle left in September, followed by nearly the entire leadership team including the CFO.

FT reviewed correspondence showing a top Novatek manager discussing funding and accelerating transfers. The project involved investor Gentry Beach, linked to the Trump family. After Riddle's departure, Tim Tokington, former head of Goldman Sachs Russia, became acting CEO.

🇩🇪 Germany plans to buy thousands of cruise missiles, including Ukrainian 'Bars'

Bloomberg reports that the German Ministry of Defence is negotiating with Ukraine on joint production and procurement of the 'Bars' cruise missile. The manufacturer's name is withheld for security reasons.

Berlin is also discussing a contract worth over 1 billion euros with US firm Covenant for ground-based Anthem missiles (range >2000 km). Other potential suppliers include Dutch Destinus (Ruta) and German-British Hypersonica (HS1).

The goal is to build a stockpile of affordable long-range weapons to overwhelm enemy AD systems and reduce Bundeswehr reliance on US arms. Deliveries of Tomahawk and Typhon systems may be delayed by up to five years. These weapons were used in summer strikes on the Moscow region.
