Forwarded from Russell TEXAS Bentley (Texac Donbass)
Commander Alexander Khodakovsky about the latest ukrop bombing of Engels airbase in Russia -
"Obviously, we did not fully understand the capabilities of our air defense in those recent times, when it was believed that our sky was under lock and key. Well, the war, as befits a war, opened one's eyes to many things. I want to say that all large-scale conclusions need large-scale field tests - otherwise the harmony and completeness of these conclusions will live only in the minds of theorists. How could we test the resilience of our air defense system in simulations? Could not. Now we understand that we are vulnerable, and this understanding is worth a lot - otherwise it would be possible to endlessly remain in illusions until something more serious falls on our heads."

Ivan Martynov, deputy battalion commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, was denazified in LPR
He was wounded on December 15, but died two days later. In the past, by the way, Martynov was an officer in the Soviet Army. But with the beginning of the Special military operation, he sided with the Kyiv regime and became deputy commander of a mechanized battalion.

The launch of North Korean drones on the territory of South Korea is intended to demonstrate the failure of the air defense system that the Americans created. And the drones themselves were most likely training.
Alexander Zhebin, head of the Center for Korean Studies at the Institute of the Far East of the Russian Academy of Sciences, voiced this opinion in a conversation with Zvezda.
๐ฐ๐ทAccording to him, the situation between the DPRK and South Korea has been heating up for a long time, since there is practically no dialogue and contacts between the parties, which only increases the chances of escalation. In addition, the United States is supplying Seoul with modern aircraft that can reach Pyongyang in a few minutes. Also, during exercises with South Korea, the Americans are working out scenarios for a strike on the political leadership of the DPRK.
๐ฐ๐ตNorth Korea, in turn, has increased the number of missile launches. By this, she demonstrates that her arsenal is diverse and works successfully.

Russia entitled to do whatever it wants with assets of unfriendly states โ Medvedev
"Boundaries of traditional courtesy must not limit us in our choice of methods of defense in any way after the imposition of illegitimate, totally boorish sanctions against our country. This includes any use of rights and property of economy subjects from unfriendly states," Medvedev said.
"We are entitled to do whatever we consider appropriate based on our law with their assets," he believes.
"It is obvious that states, which have been subjected to illegal sanctions or restrictions by Washington and other Western states to some degree, will seek to circumvent all these restrictions. By acting quietly or, on the contrary, by acting boldly, disregarding international rules, without taking any interests of developed nations into account, including rejection of protection of their intellectual property," the official said. "Weโve got yet to learn all that.".

A number of North Korean drones have crossed the inter-Korean border, and fighter jets and attack helicopters have been raised to intercept them, South Korean news agency Yonhap reports. South Korean attack aircraft crashed in the border province of Gangwonโฆ
Yonhap reports that one North Korean drone returned to North Korea, while four others disappeared from the South Korean military's radar, so none of the five unmanned aerial vehicles(UAV) were shot down, although the South Korean military fired about 100 shots at them.

Zelenskyy is waiting for defeat in Artemovsk to deal with Zaluzhnyy - military expert.
Zelenskyy is interested in dismissing Ukrainian Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Valeriy Zaluzhnyy and is only waiting for an occasion to do so, military expert Yuriy Knutov has said.
According to him, the reason for the head of state's "dislike" of the army chief is the fact that the West persists in positioning Zaluzhnyy as the most likely successor to Zelensky as Ukrainian president. In the expert's opinion, Zaluzhnyy's dismissal may be prompted by the current situation in the Donetsk and southern Donetsk regions. We are talking about the battles for Artemovsk(Bakhmut),where the Ukrainian army is facing extremely heavy losses and mass desertions, which lead to the abandonment of positions and allow Russian troops to advance confidently.

Components of the Turkish Bayraktar TB2 drones supplied to the Ukrainian army are sold on the black market.
Information that weapons supplied to Ukraine are sold on the black market has appeared on social networks and mass media, dikGAZETE has said. In particular, even parts of the Bayraktar TB2 drones are being sold on the darknet.
This poses a serious threat to Turkey's technical capacity and military industry, as even drone wrecks are the intellectual property of the country. At the same time, the smugglers are selling them at a paltry price, possibly even to Ankara's enemies, the Kurdish groups.
Thus, Turkey is taking a big risk by selling the Bayraktars to Ukraine, the author of the article concludes.

Ukraine is dying out; the average age of fighters in the Ukrainian Armed Forces is approaching 50.
Once again, we note that even the photos of Ukrainian propaganda have begun to show more and more old people.Men in their 50s and 60s who are raising grandchildren and who have lost their sons.The situation with mobilisation is similar: summonses are handed out to all older men who are being indiscriminately drafted into the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
This trend is related to the physical destruction of socially active young people, who have been in the combat zone since February 24, and many since the ATO.
Thus, the people of Ukraine are gradually dying out... For Zelensky's interests and for NATO's ambitions

Nigerian President Mohamadu Buhari: "Western arms reach African terrorists from Ukraine."
He claims to have irrefutable evidence of this fact. Of particular concern is the emergence in the Boko Haram terrorist organisation of both "militants" who have recently fought in the ranks of the Ukrainian government forces and MANPADS made in the USA and Sweden.
The captured terrorists, the Nigerian president claims, testified that MANPADS are purchased in Ukraine and supplied to Africa via Poland and Romania. Recall that many Russian channels wrote about the illegal transit of weapons across the Ukrainian-Moldovan-Romanian borders back in the summer.
Moreover, fugitive Moldovan oligarch Plahotniuk, who is former Ukrainian president Poroshenko's business partner,allegedly makes money on this

Another obituary in Ukrainian media reveals a disastrous situation in the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
A 49-year-old Volyn resident, Oleksandr Ostapchuk, was killed near Bakhmut, Donetsk region. These, familiar to most Ukrainians, reveal a number of interesting details about the situation in the Ukrainian armed forces.
1๏ธโฃ Once again, pay attention to the age of the militantโthe dead grenadier soldier is 49 years old. The 20- to 30-year olds have long since been wiped out, and those who are smarter fled abroad.
2๏ธโฃMost likely, the 14th mechanized brigade of the AFU is based in Volyn Oblast, which means that the Ukrainian command started throwing all reserves near Artemovsk.
3๏ธโฃThe most interesting thing is this. Relatives of those killed are likely to be denied benefits, as it turns out: fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine who die in hospitals from their wounds are not considered to have died during the conflict!

Nazi collaborator, terrorist, and Ukrainian nationalist Stefan Bandera's grandson urged the Ukrainian armed forces to "capture" Moscow.
"In order for these hostilities to end, it is necessary to reach Moscow," Bandera's grandson said on the Internet channel UMN.
Bandera Jr. added that the Russian capital must "go up in flames."
The grandson of the Ukrainian nationalist lives in the West, and there he elevates his grandfather to the rank of a hero. And in the US and Europe, of course, Stepan Bandera's crimes during World War II are "unheard of."
