➡️ Israel now quietly concedes "many" Oct 7 casualties were killed in "multiple" friendly fire incidents and due to "decisions made in real time - which turned out to be wrong"

Don’t hold your breath waiting for Western MSM to get round to admitting this too.

🇳🇴🇸🇪🇫🇮Norway, Sweden and Finland have agreed to create a military transport corridor through the northern parts of their territories to ensure the rapid transfer of troops and equipment, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre said.

Earlier, the development of "land corridors" was reported by the British newspaper Telegraph, citing sources. According to the report, NATO is working on a number of "land corridors" to quickly move US soldiers and armoured vehicles to the front line in the event of a major land war with Russia in Europe.

Putin's key statements from the press conference following his trip to North Korea and Vietnam

🌏 Russia is thinking about possible changes in its nuclear doctrine - this is due to the work of the enemy to lower the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons.

🌏 The agreement with North Korea provides for mutual assistance in case of military aggression. South Korea has nothing to fear in this regard if it does not plan to attack Pyongyang.

🌏 There is no novelty in the agreement with the DPRK, the parties have changed almost nothing compared to the agreement concluded in the 60s, which expired.

🌏 Sanctions against North Korea are inhumane and restrictions cannot be imposed for political reasons.

🌏 For Russia, a strategic defeat will mean the termination of its statehood, which means there is no need to be afraid, we must go to the end.

🌏 The West will pin all unpopular decisions on Zelensky and remove him in the first half of 2025.

🌏 If Ukraine links negotiations with Moscow with the withdrawal of Russian troops, then this will never happen.

🌏 Russia does not ask anyone for help in conducting its special operation.

🌏 The West’s reaction to peace initiatives was expected, but sensible politicians will think about the initiatives if they want to end the conflict.

🌏 The supply of weapons by South Korea to Ukraine will be a mistake, Russia may take responsive measures that are unlikely to please the leadership of South Korea.

Ukraine’s copycats are struggling to replicate Russia's deadly Lancet drone

Kiev has presented a copy of Russia's state-of-the-art Lancet drone named "Bulava" with two sets of X-wings at the international defense exhibition Eurosatory 2024 in France.

The Lancet kamikaze drone gained overall attention last spring and summer due to its successful use against a wide range of Ukrainian military assets, including NATO-grade armored vehicles, howitzers and air defenses.

What is known about Ukraine’s attempts to recreate the Lancet?

🌏 Bulava has yet to prove effective on the battlefield, is claimed to be jamming-proof; has a take-off weight of 11 kg, with a 3.6 kg warhead; boasts a cruising speed of 100 km/h; can stay in the air for more than 50 minutes and hit targets at a distance of over 60 km, as per Ukrainian website Defense Express.

🌏 On February 18, Ukrainian Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov told the Ukrainian Diya channel that four Ukrainian analoges of the Lancet had undergone preliminary tests. He said that the newly designed copies of Lancet could hit targets at a distance of only 30-40 km.

🌏 Although Ukraine couldn't start mass production of the sophisticated UAV immediately, the minister assumed it would be possible to set production at about 100 Lancet-style UAVs per month in the future.

🌏 In August 2023, Fedorov announced that Ukrainian manufacturers created an analog of Russia's Lancet drone under the name "Perun," however, there were no major revelations about its effectiveness on the battlefield.

Too small for Biden?

🗣🇷🇺🇰🇵🐕 Russian President Vladimir Putin was presented with two unique dogs of the North Korean Pungsan breed.

This breed cannot be found outside the DPRK, reports 360.ru. They are a national treasure of North Korea. They are dexterous and strong hunters who are able to cope with boar, bear and even a tiger. At the same time, dogs are excellent protectors and companions.

Pungsans live 12-15 years. They say that Pungsans rarely bark and do not get into fights without reason. They value their living space very much, and a boundary violator may have a hard time.
