Ukraine answers the February 17 strike: Refineries & Plants Hit

Today brought a rare — perhaps unique — event connected not just to Ukrainian air defense work, but to an adequate response to the enemy. Ukraine answers the February 17 strike with both shields and swords. As already known, the enemy launched a massive combined medium-intensity attack on Ukraine’s territory today. For this strike, the […]

Ukraine Has Resumed Deep Strikes: Arsenal, Oil, and Military Plant

It seems that Ukraine has resumed deep strikes. TToday there was news that the good birds are visiting enemy arsenals, oil refineries and military facilities. But let’s get to the point. The most interesting news was probably that good birds reached the settlement of Ukhta in the Komi Republic.  What makes this episode particularly interesting […]

Strike on Redkino Chemical Plant: Missile Fuel Production Halted

We’re observing consequences of the enemy strike on Ukraine’s energy system with our own eyes right now. Something similar was expected precisely last night, about which we wrote in detail earlier. But the enemy received an asymmetric response that may cost very dearly for their military-industrial complex. Before midnight, Ukrainian forces delivered a drone strike […]

Starlink Shutdown Again: Why Starlink Matters So Much

Starlink Shutdown Again: Why Starlink Matters So Much

Understanding why Starlink matters so much requires looking military angles. Recently a series of reports appeared that the enemy started mounting Starlink terminals on their strike drones. They gained online control capability. We wrote about such cases, for example here and here. Shot-down Shaheds equipped with Starlink terminals became a weighty argument for appealing to […]

Energy Truce from Putin: February 3 Massive Strike

Energy Truce from Putin: February 3 Massive Strike

The February 3 massive strike on Ukrainian territory was entirely expected. All this talk about an “energy truce” in any form looked not just stupid but mockingly cynical. However, most likely this stream of falsehood affected someone and generated not just illusions but hallucinations. It was enough to look at those generating this narrative, and […]

Starlink Shutdown on Russian Drones Cuts Off Strike Capability

Around Sunday noon, news started appearing — too good to be true. Starlink shutdown on russian drones became reality as SpaceX blocked satellite communications at Ukraine’s request. And by evening, confirmation came from the opposite side too. So we can now speak very carefully that this is actually happening and the situation might look even […]

Will Russia Respect the Energy Truce?

Will Russia Respect the Energy Truce?

It’s long been known that any war proceeds according to its own, long and well-known rules. Therefore, trying to do something while ignoring these rules, you’ll definitely get a negative result. If we paraphrase one of these rules with the words of the well-known gangster Al Capone, it might look like this: “You can achieve […]

January 20 Massive Strike: 339 Drones, 34 Missiles Hit Ukraine

Today we endured another massive combined enemy raid. During the January 20 massive strike, the enemy once again bet heavily on the missile component. Alongside the usual cloud of drones, they launched a significant number of missiles. In our view, this looked like a desperate attempt to exploit a window of opportunity created by a […]

Russian tankers face a new reality. The tanker war escalates as arrests apply not only to tankers trying to illegally export oil from Venezuela but also to those spotted doing something similar earlier.
