Russia says US missiles in Germany signal return of Cold War | Vantage with Palki Sharma Russia has warned that America's decision to station long-range missiles in Germany could lead to a Cold War-style “direct confrontation”. The White House announced the decision during a NATO summit in Washington, arguing the stationing of long-range weapons, including Tomahawk cruise missiles, in Europe acts as a deterrent. Russia says it will give a "military response" to this. Is this the beginning of a new arms race in Europe?

Summary: Russia is moving closer to producing a new glide bomb called 'Drel' with cluster munition capabilities, posing a significant threat to Ukrainian forces. These weapons are designed to be hard to intercept and have proven to be a headache for Ukraine in the ongoing conflict. Takeaway: The development and potential deployment of the new 'Drel' glide bomb by Russia could have profound implications on the battlefield, adding a new layer of complexity to the ongoing conflict in the region.

Arm Ukraine with LR missiles now

💣 Russia drops first-ever 3 ton guided aerial bomb On a #hospital in #Ukraine of course 🙄 Russian #Telegram channels published this video of what is said to be the  first use of a three-ton guided aerial bomb (FAB-3000) 📍 The strike was reportedly carried out at the village of Lyptsi in the north of Kharkiv region, where fierce combat is currently taking place. "This is the first combat use in the history of mankind of a bomb of this caliber with a UMPK (Unified gliding and correction module)," the channels claim. It is said that the miss distance of the bomb from the target (a four-story building) was about 10 meters. At the same time, the lethal radius of FAB-3000 as channels write, is 230 meters. 📈 Earlier, the Russians deployed guided aerial bombs weighing 500 and 1,500 kilograms. The Ukrainian #military say they are now the main problem for them on the frontlines. The solution is to shoot down Russian #aircraft that carry and launch these bombs. To do that, Ukraine needs more air defenses: 🚀 Like Patriots and F-16s. And of course, the Muscovites used it to blow up a hospital. I wish I could say that I'm surprised, but I'm really not. Russia is a 𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭 state. #OSINT #Intelligence #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦

Via FT: The Axis of Upheaval How America’s Adversaries Are Uniting to Overturn the Global Order In the early morning of January 2, Russian forces launched a massive missile attack on the Ukrainian cities of Kyiv and Kharkiv that killed at least five civilians, injured more than 100, and damaged infrastructure. The incident was notable not just for the harm it caused but also because it showed that Russia was not alone in its fight. The Russian attack that day was carried out with weapons fitted with technology from China, missiles from North Korea, and drones from Iran. Over the past two years, all three countries have become critical enablers of Moscow’s war machine in Ukraine. https://lnkd.in/e42N89mz

''After the unprecedented Iranian drone and missile strikes on Israel, in apparent retaliation for the Apr. 1 bombing of Iran’s embassy complex in Syria, there are two key questions to consider: what the operation truly conveys, and what may unfold next. The seeming driving factors behind the high-profile assassinations of Quds Force commanders in Syria in past months are manifold. But one motive stands out: to elicit an Iranian reaction. Whether the latter may drag the United States into war is unclear. As things stand, President Joe Biden is not inclined to join offensive operations against Iran. However, the prospect of a regional war is very real, and entirely dependent, informed Iranian sources told Amwaj.media, on Israel’s immediate next steps. More broadly, Iran’s declaration that “the era of strategic patience is over” and that any Israeli assaults will be met with a “direct” response suggests a shift that heightens risks. At the same time, Tehran has also been careful to signal that its newfound assertiveness does not equate to aggression.'' Via Amwaj.media #iran #gazawar #drones #missiles #security

25 Jan 06:20: Short video footage: With thanks to Marijn 🇳🇱 - more thoughts of the aircrash: ‘🎥 Footage from the russian IL-76 crash site, Disproving Russia's claim the #aircraft was full of prisoners, As the field would be full of bodies 👀 💥 After #Ukraine shot down the #Military transport aircraft, Russia quickly claimed it had been full of Ukrainian PoWs about to be exchanged - a lie mindlessly repeated by western #media 🙄 Even though #OSINT shows the plane was flying AWAY from Ukraine, towards the northeast, and had arrived in Belgorod from #Egypt before 🚀 Lending strong evidence to Ukraine's claim  That the #aircraft had been full of S-300 missiles. It would certainly explain the giant explosion. 🤡 Russia released an already debunked 'list of prisoners' As at least 17 of the names on the list belong to free men, Released in earlier exchanges. ❌ Note how Prisoners of War are usually not transported by air, And you certainly can't exchange them by flying AWAY from the front. ☝️ Russia claims 74 people were in board in total: 65 Ukrainian prisoners plus 9 russian soldiers, far too few soldiers for an actual prisoner transport. Now note how there's only one (!) body found in the video Disproving Moscow's nonsense yet again 👀 Moscow may have lies and #propaganda But we have #Data #Intelligence #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦’: Me: ‘Please also view my immediately preceding shared BBC Article overnight update post on the aircrash, which implies a deliberate trap by russia’:

“Iran isn’t going to attack again. It’s all up to Israel what happens next,” a Western security source told Field. There were mixed views in Israel. All source reporting reflects the positives: · The Israeli air defence system worked amazingly · Out of 110 ballistic missiles, only 5 are reported to have hit the Nevatim base – damaging a Hercules transport aircraft, some empty storage facilities and a disused runway · All 185 Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and 36 cruise missiles were shot down before they reached Israel · The US stood resolutely by Israel’s side · The US, UK and Jordanian air forces shot down 70 of the 221 drones and missiles and there are reports of active cooperation by Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries · Arab cooperation to contain Iran, what some in the Israeli press are calling the “Western – Sunni – Israeli alliance”, or the Middle East Air Defence alliance. And the negatives: · Israel was locked-down, its population terrified, its economy shuttered for 24 hours · It cost $1 billion to defend against the Iranian strike · Israeli Military Intelligence is being publicly criticised as having miscalculated that Iran would not respond directly to the killing of General Zahedi on 1 April · Israel’s deterrence over Iran is over, Iran may attack Israel directly again · Iran knows the location of Israel’s strategic air defence assets and how Israel responds to a mass attack. “What now?” an Israel-watcher speaking to Field asked. “It’s a very complicated question. Within Israel there’s a call for action against Iran. Many people are celebrating what they think is a new Israeli alliance with Sunni states against Iran. They don’t understand that there’s a big difference between the Arabs being anti-Iran, which they are, and pro-Israel, which they are not. Maybe the Israelis will finish their operation in Gaza and go into Rafah, but that will upset the Americans who are worried about the civilian death toll. Maybe they attack Hizbullah in Lebanon. After this weekend, the rules of the game are all torn up.” Write to us at contact@fieldintel.co for more https://lnkd.in/e-iUh5xm
