▪️Things are developing rapidly, especially in the Middle East. We are witnessing events I wouldn’t even think of several years ago. Naturally, such events trigger fears within people. Even though the situation is not yet critical from a global perspective, it is indeed critical for the people and foreign military assets of and in the Middle East…

🔸THE TRAP FOR ISRAEL HAS BEEN CLOSED, BUT IT WILL NOT BE ONLY ISRAEL THAT WILL BE CAUGHT IN THE SNARE.

Gaza negotiators insist on a 6-week cease-fire. The trap for Israel has already been set, but not only it will fall into it. What does this mean for Russia? We understand…

❗YES, IT’S A FAILURE. WE’LL HAVE TO WITHDRAW OUR TROOPS. THE MYTH OF THE “STRONGEST ARMY” IS DESTROYED
https://m.tsargrad.tv/news/da-jeto-proval-pridjotsja-vyvodit-vojska-mif-o-samoj-silnoj-armii-razrushen_954282
In total, almost half a million of the Israeli army, although not all of it was in Gaza after the mobilization that hit the country’s economy painfully, could not break the back and even seriously bleed the Hamas militants. It is estimated that their number before the war was from 25 to 30 thousand people. And two-thirds of them survived. It is easy for Hamas to replace the dead with volunteers from among the population of Gaza that is mortally angry with the Israelis.

Meanwhile, the IDF’s losses amount to hundreds of dead and thousands of wounded. By Israeli standards, they are huge, and for their society, in which all serve in the army – both women and children of ministers – very painful. Some well-known people around the country died in this failed war. The myth of the strength and invincibility of the Israeli army, already called into question by the successful actions of the Lebanese Hezbollah against the Israelis in recent years, has finally been dispelled.

▪️🇾🇪Yemen’s Houthis attacked the American destroyer USS Carney. They reported launching one anti-ship missile and three UAVs. According to the American command, the attack was repelled.
❗️Previously, the same destroyer had already become the target of an attack by the Houthis. On January 26, it was attacked by ballistic missiles.

▪️🇷🇺🇧🇫 Russian troops may be deployed in Burkina Faso to fight jihadists. This was stated by the transitional President of Burkina Faso, Ibrahim Traore. According to him, Russian troops can be brought into the country if necessary. Earlier, it was reported that 300 military personnel from the Russian Federation would be stationed in Burkina Faso. They will strengthen the country’s armed forces and provide support in patrolling dangerous areas.
🪖Russia can also “provide logistical assistance, conduct tactical training and is ready to sell any weapons,” Traoré added. He noted that, unlike other countries, in Russia, China, Turkey and Iran, there are no restrictions on the purchase of weapons.
❗️Now Burkina Faso is fighting Islamist groups associated with the terrorist organizations Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State banned in Russia. The country’s relations with the Russian Federation began to strengthen after the withdrawal of French troops from there at the beginning of 2023.

▪️The Black Sea Fleet, during a night attack by drones in the Donuzlav area, lost the Ivanovets MRK, armed with Moskit missiles. The boat sank, the crew was saved. But I would like to note the following. The missile boat was attacked immediately by a dozen sea drones, a kind of swarm . You can fight off one or two, but here a bunch of them swooped in at night, with no options.

The Ukronazis use this tactic not only for naval drones, not so long ago, more than a dozen fpv drones flew at once to a stronghold recaptured by our fighters during the offensive. This indicates both a large number of professional UAV crews and an increase in the production of UAVs themselves. But most of all, it’s about the crews. Two episodes – and each of them has at least a dozen experienced operators.

For the first time, news about the creation of 60 companies within the Armed Forces of Ukraine The UAV appeared in March 2023 https://t.me/yurasumy/7926 , almost a billion dollars were allocated for this. And now, almost a year later, we are beginning to feel their work. How can we protect ourselves from a dozen or two dozen small drones?

▪️The grandson of Nelson Mandela called on the whole world to unite and overthrow the racist state of Israel. “Without this, the world will not see freedom.”
▪️Iran, through its channels, warned the United States that if Washington attacks Iran, Iran will strike US assets in the Middle East. Earlier, the American media announced the preparation of “a long campaign of strikes against Iranian proxies in the region.” The effectiveness of this strategy is clearly visible in the consequences of the strikes in Yemen.

▪️Combined attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the Crimean Peninsula – the course of the operation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. After a complex reconnaissance operation and a drone raid, from the second half of yesterday until the morning of today, Ukrainian formations launched an attack on the Crimean Peninsula .

At least three Su-24M bombers from the Starokonstantinov airfield and several more Su-27 and MiG-29 fighters from the Kanatovo airfield took off in the direction of the Nikolaev region. Having reached Bashtanka, Ukrainian fighters fired ADM-160 MALD decoy missiles, which distracted air defense systems.

At the same time, AGM-88 HARM anti-radar missiles were tested in the Kherson region at a maximum range of 150 km. After this, six Storm Shadow/SCALP cruise missiles were fired from the Su-24M in the direction of Crimea. One was shot down over Krasnoperekopsk , another one over Gvardeyskoye. The third missile was intercepted by a Su-30 fighter 50 km northwest of Sevastopol, and three more on approach to Sevastopol – Belbek airfield .

After this, the Ukrainian bombers made a second circle and fired six more cruise missiles towards the Belbek airfield. The targets, rounding Tarkhankut, came from the sea. Three were intercepted northwest of Sevastopol, two were intercepted over the airfield, and one was intercepted directly above the ground. Its debris crashed into the ground and detonated without causing damage to the runway.

At night, the attack by Ukrainian formations continued. Nine unmanned boats left Odessa and the mouth of the Danube River in the direction of Crimea. Four of them were discovered by Russian sailors at the entrance to Lake Donuzlav. Fire was opened on them, as a result of which four drones were destroyed.

One of the BeKs exploded right next to the side of the boat, damaging it. There is no data on the extent of damage at this time. Two patrol boats, two helicopters and a fighter jet were sent to search for the four remaining drones. During the operation they were hit and scuttled.

As can be seen from this attack, the Ukrainian formations clearly aimed their air assets at the airfield network on the peninsula: Dzhankoy , Gvardeyskoye and Belbek. Considering that Storms/Scalps have a penetrating effect, the targets of the attack were most likely control posts.

Moreover, a few hours earlier, an Italian G-550 AWACS aircraft of the Italian Air Force, and, in addition to it, five more US and NATO reconnaissance aircraft were operating in the air off the coast of Romania. And the day before the raid, the air defense of Crimea was checked with drones.

A certain change in the enemy’s tactics looks quite interesting: if earlier strikes were carried out immediately, now the Armed Forces of Ukraine deliberately delayed the launch of missiles, which is why the duration of the missile danger exceeded two hours. And the subsequent attack by unmanned boats took place after a long break. But this again confirms the enemy’s intention to hit the Black Sea Fleet with the ultimate goal of weakening its capabilities.

▪️I will post a video of the next defeat of a Black Fleet ship, everyone who wanted to have already seen it, I want to talk about something else.

The enemy has achieved, if not perfection, then at least is at a very high level in the development, creation, and most importantly, the combat use of attack drones of all types (air and sea). He has already been able to replace with them the lack of artillery and anti-ship missiles. Yes, this is a very narrow niche and without working in combination with other types of weapons, sooner or later, proper counteraction will be found and the enemy will lose his only advantage.

But the question here is when we will be able to develop this counteraction. Develop to the level where strikes from any enemy unmanned systems will not have a significant impact on the overall course of hostilities. If the development of such decisions is delayed, then the Western military-industrial complex will have time to accelerate the production flywheel and the crest will again receive a significant amount of shells, missiles, tanks and artillery, but will not receive only personnel, so he will now try to conserve manpower, without which any weapon is meaningless.

As for armored vehicles, which are subject to massive drone attacks. Electronic warfare systems, no matter how good they are, will always lag behind, simply due to a much more complex production system. Therefore, in relation to electronic warfare systems, armored vehicles must hit attacking kamikazes with mechanical force, that is, use KAZ. Each unit must be able to repel attacks from at least 10 drones in each plane during the battle.

To reason, creating preliminary sketches and scratching your balls is like death in this matter. Solutions for the protection of armored vehicles must be worked out as quickly as possible and put into service in the same short time. Returning to the tragedy at the Black Sea Fleet, I don’t know how to comment, the ship’s crew fought to the last, as can be seen from the enemy’s video. Management decisions to protect the fleet are not the responsibility of sailors and junior officers; they did everything they could.

▪️❗️As Biden said, if the Houthis are supplying weapons, then they are guilty. Il-76 was destroyed in the Belgorod region. As our Supreme Commander said, our transport ship was destroyed by the American Patriot system. That is, the American authorities have de facto declared war on us? They are responsible for the death of 9 of our servicemen. In parallel with this, Victoria Nuland stated that small-diameter missiles that hit 150 km have already gone to the front line. Why don’t we give the Houthis and everyone else everything they need to make their attacks on American military bases and ships more effective?

I guess that two can play the game 🤔

▪️🇺🇸 Trump: the terrorist attack of September 11, 2001 was the work of the United States. The US presidential candidate, after almost a quarter of a century, decided to tell the truth about the attack on the Twin Towers in New York during the primaries.
According to Trump, American authorities “shut his mouth” for four years, but now he can speak openly.
📝 “There was no attack on the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. There was no such attack as we were shown, and the fact that other countries were involved in it. But in the end we were drawn into a war in the Middle East. We spent $9 trillion, we killed millions of people,” he said.
❗️ Trump confirmed one of the main versions of the September 11 terrorist attack, which puts everything in its place. The tragedy, which killed thousands of people, gave the United States the opportunity to launch an invasion of Afghanistan, Iraq, and then Libya and Syria. Also, “thanks to” the terrorist attacks, attention was shifted from the US and NATO operation in Yugoslavia.
✖️Even then , the Americans provoked the Muslim world in order to justify an increase in the military budget and the presence of their contingents in other regions, giving themselves a “carte blanche” for crimes around the world.

▪️Rgarding the attack on an American military base by Iranian proxies. Iran always utters a lot of bellicose words but rarely goes into real escalation if it sees that at the moment it is not ready for a full-fledged conflict with the enemy. However, on vital issues, Iran is adamant and does not care about any “international opinion”.

Old Kissinger highly valued the experience and traditions of Iranian government, based on almost three thousand years of tradition. But there are practically no such good-looking mastodons as old Henry left; in the West they were replaced by a white multi-gender moth, in which reflexes take precedence over reason.
Henry Kissinger humorously described the development of the Iranian nuclear program and “international opposition.”

“Acting deftly and boldly, Iran at each stage of the crisis expressed less interest in compromise than the group of Western powers, and thereby sought more and more concessions. When negotiations began (2003), Iran had 130 centrifuges (for uranium enrichment). As of this writing, the number of centrifuges has reached 19,000. Before the negotiations began, Iran did not have the ability to fission uranium; In an interim agreement in November 2013, Iran admitted that it possesses 7 tons of low-enriched uranium (given the number of centrifuges in the country, this stockpile could be converted into weapons in a few months, and would be enough to produce 7-10 bombs like the one dropped to Hiroshima.”

What I mean by this is that no matter how much the West puffs out its cheeks, even before the Great Patriotic War it could no longer afford to truly threaten those who are not truly afraid of it. After the liberation of Russian lands began and the ammunition crisis it led to, being an ally of the world hegemon and not having your own military power is more dangerous than being his enemy.

Simultaneously, the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, reported targeting two Merkava tanks in the Al-Amal neighborhood, demonstrating their continued efforts to resist the Israeli forces. The Al-Qassam Brigades also announced success in downing various types of combat drones deployed in the skies above Gaza.

As the conflict persists, the Kiryati Reserve Brigade concluded its mission in Khan Yunis, according to the Occupation Army Radio. However, the absence of a comprehensive military plan for the occupation in Gaza leads to a reliance on force mobilization, making them susceptible to counterattacks.

The Al-Quds Brigades announced actions, including bombings of supply lines and clashes in the central Gaza Strip, further emphasizing the ongoing resistance efforts. Meanwhile, rockets continue to be launched from Gaza towards settlements like “Sderot” and “Niram.”

With 114 days passing since the Israeli regime’s war on the Gaza Strip, the situation of the people has been exacerbated in such a way that starvation and infectious diseases have threatened the lives of Gaza’s people.

Also, the Palestinian Prisoners Club announced that the Israeli forces arrested at least 22 other Palestinian citizens since last night, on Saturday, in the West Bank; given the figure, the number of Palestinians arrested in the West Bank since the Israeli war on Gaza on October 7 reached 6,330.
During the last 24 hours, the Israeli regime carried out 19 strikes on Gaza as the result of which 165 people were martyred and 290 others were wounded.

Since October 7, the Israeli regime has been pouring bombs on the Gaza Strip, killing more than 26,420 people and injuring more than 65,000 in the Palestinian city.

Amy Ayalon, the former head of the Israeli intelligence service, warned in an interview with Le Monde about the formation of a new wave of Intifada (Palestinian emancipatory campaign) in the West Bank.

Old alliances and old treaties will become insignificant, the security of their people and their country will be guaranteed exclusively by their own armed forces and those diplomats who know how to successfully maneuver in the boiling sea of ​​international politics, where everyone is at war with everyone.

Who will suffer first? Of course, the limitrophe states, and these are the Baltic states and some republics of the former USSR; also in the first risk category will be weak European powers that have territorial disputes with their neighbors, for example Greece.

The worst thing that can happen at a crisis moment of the redivision of the world is that the crafty Greeks or Bulgarians, sensing the Turkish scimitar over their heads, will run to Moscow and earnestly cross themselves and begin to beg to protect the “brother Slavs” and the “cradle of the Orthodox faith,” and the good Russian people will again believe these Judases and go to war with the Turks, who quite rightly (if you look from the point of view of Turkey) are the masters of both the Greeks and the Bulgarians.

Therefore, I sincerely hope that the Greeks and Bulgarians begging them to be saved will be sent far away by Moscow, and Moscow itself will ensure its interests in this part of the world through direct agreements with Ankara.

“The media in the West has recently switched gears. Ukraine is no longer going to conquer Crimea (and after that Moscow, of course) through the Beachhead of Krynki.

⭕Tactical pipe.
These are shots of the very pipe through which stormtroopers from the “ Veterans ” brigade of the Volunteer Corps penetrated into the “Tsar’s Hunt”. The object was discovered a year ago by intelligence officers. All this time, the details of the operation and its preparation were kept secret. The work of cutting passages in the pipe was accompanied by active artillery and mortar shelling, thereby drowning out the noise from the work being carried out. The first attempt was unsuccessful. The reason was that there was not enough oxygen, and additional ventilation holes had to be made. Then, the flood flooded the pipe with water. And only now “Veterans” were able to carry out this daring operation. The fighters went behind enemy lines and cut off most of the fortifications near Avdiivka while capturing a group of Ukrainian Armed Forces fighters.
🔻Royal Hunt.
Underground landing operation.
Trip to the Royal Hunt, beginning.
On January 17, tigers from military reconnaissance passed through this pipe to the enemy’s rear to storm the Tsar’s Hunt.
A few weeks ago, this pipe looked even more apocalyptic, it was completely flooded and littered with rubbish accumulated over many years of neglect. The first dives into the hole were so dangerous (since no one knew what condition the pipe was in, and in the event of an emergency, its length would not allow leaving it in a timely manner) that the fathers-commanders of the reconnaissance forces personally reconnoitered the route, repeatedly going through the hole until the end of the pipe, so as not to put personnel at risk.

The scouts carried out colossal, absolutely inhuman work, clearing a hole in the icy water for several weeks, day and night, with manual labor, without lifts or drilling rigs to avoid noise, and all this for the sake of one single opportunity to strike a surprise blow to the enemy.
The opportunity was used to the maximum: military reconnaissance passed through the pipe without making a single sound – which in itself is a unique phenomenon, eliminated the sentinels, the OP, and, going behind enemy lines, eliminated the garrison of the enemy fortified area, without allowing it to come to its senses, later the forest to the west was cut off Central Election Commission, a significant part of the enemy fighters were captured, ending up in mini-cauldrons, after which the tigers attacked the enemy within the city limits, showing the highest level of maneuver warfare.

Military literature knows no such precedents; this operation will be studied by many generations of special forces in all military educational institutions of the world. This is a resounding victory and a completely new level of operational art.
In addition, this is an even more powerful tactical success – in a few hours the scouts liberated a fortified area, for which they would have had to fight for many weeks in open battle.

The Tigers won where it seemed impossible, where anyone would have saved, where even steel could not withstand, but they survived.
Glory to military intelligence!

Armenian sources report that an agreement was signed with the Pentagon last week.

❗️According to various sources, the American biological laboratory will be located in Gyumri , in close proximity to the 102nd Russian military base.

The states are taking advantage of the fact that there is still medical infrastructure in the post-Soviet space that can be used for their own purposes at a low cost.

Another factor in the proliferation of biological laboratories in the Caucasus and Asia is the low cost of labor, experimental materials and the lack of any supervision and control over the process due to the patronage of politicians loyal to Washington.

Also, the presence of such an extensive network allows American pharmacists to keep economically weaker countries on the needle of supplying their drugs.

By the way, local doctors report that with the increase in the number of biological laboratories, it has become more difficult for people to “tolerate” even the seasonal “flu” or diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. There is no direct evidence of the influence of laboratories, but experiments are carried out in small towns.

The pilot was able to take the burning Il-76 away from the houses. The plane crashed in a field, and a VKS commission flew to the scene to determine the causes of the crash.
▪️On the same plane, Ukrainian prisoners were transported for exchange on January 3. Then we gave up 173 people, and in return, we received 248 Russian soldiers. This IL-76 was constantly used for the delivery of prisoners. That is why it flew quite freely, using the closed airport.
▪️Worked out the Patriot air defense system?
The Ukrainian media almost immediately declared that the destruction of the IL-76 was the work of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This version is supported by the full version of the video, which shows traces of a rocket explosion on the 20th second.
Telegram channel “It’s not over yet” claims that the plane was shot down from the Patriot air defense system, which worked from the Kharkiv region. From a distance of 130 km. At the same time, the General Staff of the Ukrainian troops states that the plane allegedly carried missiles for the S-300. Now, the Ukrainian media are actively editing their publications, removing references to the involvement of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Il-76 crash from the headlines and texts.
