Russia reportedly has conducted thousands of cyber-attacks against Czechia’s rail transport infrastructure and that of other European states as part of a broader effort to degrade NATO members’ transport logistics since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.


Russia is already at war with NATO.

I'm just thinking about how if Russia invaded East Baton Rouge Parish they'd be outgunned...

If we doubled our money and support, I'll bet we could cut that number in half.

British Defence Intelligence
INTELLIGENCE UPDATE
UPDATE ON UKRAINE 06 April 2024

On 28 March 2024, a Crimean Telegram channel reported that an SU-27 aircraft operating over Crimea had been shot down by Russian air defence in an incident of friendly fire. The Russian-installed Governor of Sevastopol, Mikhail Razvozhaev, stated that there was a technical failure and that the pilot survived.

Ukraine had conducted strikes against targets in Sevastopol and the Black Sea Fleet on 24 March 2024. This almost certainly led to local Russian air defence being at a heightened readiness. There have been previous unconfirmed reports of similar instances of friendly fire occurring, usually following periods of Ukrainian action against Russian forces in the illegally occupied territory. There is a realistic possibility that rather than a technical issue, the increased pressure and tension amongst Russian air defence operators induced by the fear of further Ukrainian action leads to them inadvertently engaging their own pilots and aircraft.

This event, and others if confirmed, likely highlights the lack of situational awareness and coordination between elements of the Russian armed forces, while further demonstrating the second-order impact of Ukrainian actions.

Military intelligence: Oil pipeline blown up in Russia's Rostov Oblast

by Martin Fornusek April 6, 2024 12:53 PM

An oil pipeline near the Russian city of Azov, Rostov Oblast, that was funneling oil products to tankers in the Azov Sea Port was blown up overnight on April 6, Ukraine's military intelligence agency (HUR) said.

The agency published a video supposedly capturing the explosion but did not clarify who was behind it or who recorded the footage.

Azov lies not far from the Azov Sea, around 20 kilometers west of the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don, and roughly 170 kilometers from the front line in Ukraine.

Ukraine's intelligence referred to the pipeline as a military target.

"As a result of the explosion at the pipeline that used to funnel oil products to the local oil depot for tankers in the Azov Sea port... the loading of tankers with oil products has been suspended indefinitely," the agency said on Telegram.

The Kyiv Independent could not independently verify the claims.

"The pipeline was used by the aggressor for military purposes and to support the genocidal war against Ukraine," the agency noted.

Russian defence minister Sergei Shoigu boasted in a Tuesday conference call with military personnel that Russian forces had gained 403sq km since the beginning of the year. The Institute for the Study of War, a Washington-based think tank, put the figure at 305sq km since January 1, and a total of 505sq km – five times the size of Paris – since Russian forces went on the offensive in October.


To out a different spin on how much territory this is, Ukraine reclaimed 0.2% of its territory today by recapturing 1 sq km....

Forget money, just send weapons. More of them.

I don’t think Russia can survive losing their oil, sustaining this war effort AND loss of human life at this scale for another 2 years.

Biden’s weak strategy was for Russia to run out of money before Ukraine ran out of money.

Ukraine is closing in on having the F-16 in the air, and then Russian losses are going to expand tremendously. Russia may run out of men before they run out of money.

I think Russia is pushing as hard as they can now, before Ukraine gets new gear.

I'll have to concede since you're trained at diagnosis but I thought it was more like tertiary syphilis, with trannie love and all.

Tertiary syphilis is really rare these days with antibiotics and routine STD testing. Based on his posts about Saints uniforms I am going with ASD.

Hitler killed millions of Jews and Putin has failed to kill one Jew (Zelensky) on multiple occasions. Hitler also conquered Kyiv and Putin failed to do that. So it is no competition Hitler is more evil person in general and more effective conquerer than Putin.
