We are still assessing the reported strike near this site. A large burn scar exists just to the north of the AD area. I have decided to wait for more imagery regarding the attack as we can not identify what if anything was hit.   |

Depends on what they want, some systems can be taken back and upgraded into the longer range versions. For reference on the extended range "B" version. https://www.esd.whs.mil/Portals/54/Documents/FOID/Reading%20Room/Selected_Acquisition_Reports/FY_2021_SARS/22-F-0762_JASSM_ER_SAR_2021.pdf JASSM-ER employment will occur primarily in the early stages of conflict before air superiority is established, and in the later stages of conflict against high value targets remaining heavily defended. JASSM-ER can also be employed in those cases where, due to rules of engagement/political constraints, high value, point targets must be attacked from international airspace. JASSM-ER may be employed independently or the missile may be used as part of a composite package. The AGM-158B-2 has updates in work to address obsolescence and upgrade systems including the Mission Control Unit (MCU), JASSM Anti-Jam Receiver (JAGR VS), the Electronic Safe and Armed Fuse (ESAF), and a Gigabyte update for high speed data transfers to support future capabilities. A multiple sub-system Critical Design Review (CDR) was completed in CY 2021 and a system level CDR is planned for April 2022. The AGM-158B-2 is planned to cut in for low-rate initial production at the end of Lot 19. Production: As of December 2021, the program delivered the 3329th missile (includes AGM-158A and AGM-158B) to the US Air Force. AGM-158B Lot 16 production began September 2020, with 359 of 362 missiles delivered to date, and 3 remaining test missiles expected by July 2022. Lot 17 AGM-158B has 35 of 360 missiles delivered to date and Lot 18 AGM-158B (390 missiles) contract was awarded in March 2020. Increased production from 4,900 to 7,547 missiles. Production costs are sensitive to forecasted lot quantities and AGM-1586-2 requirements. Program Deviation Report signed by SAF/AQ on February 13, 2019, deferring APB update for increased quantities and AGM-1586-2 requirements to 2022. So, yeah they are moving toward focusing on the longer range versions, and they are mixed in the initial lots up to lot 16. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Dominion21: Disappointed, for certain. And a huge part of the problem was a simple Russian weapon deployed in unimaginably large numbers: the TM-46 (or some variant thereof) https://inertproducts.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/TM46_2-600-copy.jpg US doctrine does, minimally, consider this weapon in how combined arms breaching operations are “planned” but the centerpiece remains the 1958-origin MICLIC - a system foreign to the Ukrainians. We have long known the technique, doctrine, and weapon systems were behind the times; this is from 2020:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIvtVYvW03sIn Ukraine, the Russian’s simple and effective solution was to make the minefields many times deeper; sometimes hundreds of yards thick, with their endless supply of cheap anti tank mines. On our part, the stalled offensive was a mistake of approach. We should have seen this coming. The Russians created a “Maginon Line” of minefields, and we failed to understand we need to figure out a way to go around. The Soviets had their own mine clearing line charge. The good news is that a substantial percentage of the worlds mines are now off the market permanently. There’s bad news here too… |

How does Chancellor Scholz fantasize that Russia could engage in direct conflict with Germany? 1,500 km from the front protected by Ukraine and Poland?
Or do you still have your fat fingers in the Russian economy and worried about your Euros? Deflection, much? Chancellor Olaf Scholz has put the move on hold because of concerns that German personnel would have to travel to Ukraine to help maintain and operate the sophisticated weapon. According to officials, Scholz believes that a parliamentary vote is needed to move troops to the war zone. He is also concerned that such a move could draw Germany even deeper into the conflict, which could lead to a direct confrontation with Russia. I ain’t buying the “technicians in Ukraine.” This stall reeks of “muh piggy bank at risk!” |

⚡️We can't find the words to describe what it's called.
 ▫️In the picture taken today, Engels airfield of the Saratov region, in our last post about this airfield, we said that the Russians started painting Tu-95MS strategic bombers, painting in the literal sense of the word. 🖌 Today, their works of art exceeded all our expectations. ⚠️ On the left - the real board of the Tu-95MS stands on the already painted one, so we did not have the opportunity to see the artistic talents of the Russians in full. ➡️ And on the right - a real work of art and a painted side of the Tu-95MS in all its glory. *We think that the question regarding the fifth army of the world has now been definitively resolved. https://t.me/eRadarrua/7372 ⚡️At the Engels airfield of the Saratov region, the Russian not only draws additional TU-95MS, but also equips real ones.  As of September 27, the following are at the airport: ⚠️ 5 Tu-95MS - no changes compared to 21.09, but there is one but... ⚠️ 2 TU-160 - also unchanged compared to 21.09 Now about the interesting thing: ➡️ The number of Tu-95MS boards at this airfield has not changed, but the boards themselves have undergone changes, if on 21.09 all boards were equipped with the "Wheels-Tires" protection system😅, then as of today, 3 new boards have been noticed at the airfield, which means that a rotation has been carried out . ➡️ The second and main thing, in the picture taken today, you can clearly see the "fuss" around the sides, apparently it's the technical staff. In addition, X-101/X-555 missiles were lying near the sides (the missiles are highlighted in red in the picture). Based on this, we can conclude that the technical staff equipped the boards with these missiles, which means at least 2 Tu-95MS at the Engels airfield, ready for combat use. https://t.me/eRadarrua/7375 |

AI craftiness combined with modern sensors and target recognition? It’s hard to imagine how Armor and Infantry will have a future against drones. Maybe automatic targeting Laser defense systems will make drones obsolete? In the mean time, we should be giving Ukraine everything they need to send the Russians home, quickly and efficiently as possible. I sure hope their drone armies are getting everything they need. It’s literally a game changer. |

Interesting admission/claim.
⚡️Exclusive⚡️Famous female humanitarian workers exposed⚡️ We have obtained exclusive footage in which two girls, known as KatyaValya, are supposedly in the Zaporozhye direction and firing from sniper rifles. According to information from our sources, all this time the humanitarian mission was only a cover for these two fragile-looking girls. The main purpose of their trips to the front line was to sniper hunt for high-ranking officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to the same sources, the girls made a great contribution to repelling the Ukrainian counter-offensive. @wargonzo https://t.me/wargonzo/15310 Previous videos

There are a ton of best practices that can mitigate these types of attack. Here's a sampling: Use MFA. Use VTY ACLs. Keep your code up to date. Don't run your hardware past end of support. Enforce access only on admin interfaces. Put the admin interfaces on protected networks, and please oh please don't make them available from the Internet. BleepingComputer has a pretty good article on it. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/us-and-japan-warn-of-chinese-hackers-backdooring-cisco-routers/ Excellent, thx! |

More about this guy-
 ⚡️Azerbaijan published a photo of the detained ex-state minister of Artsakh⚡️ The Azerbaijani Border Service confirmed the detention of former Artsakh State Minister Ruben Vardanyan and published a photo with him. Ruben Vardanyan is a former successful Russian entrepreneur, one of the founders of the Moscow school of management Skolkovo and the head of the Troika Dialog company. About a year ago, he renounced Russian citizenship to demonstrate that he is forever with the people of Artsakh, and took the post of head of the government of the republic. Under pressure from Azerbaijan, which considered Vardanyan a protege of Moscow, he was forced to leave his post on February 23, 2022. However, the former Russian businessman continued his socio-political activities in Nagorno-Karabakh. @wargonzo https://t.me/wargonzo/15315 |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Ryan_Ruck: Watching the Republican debate. As a DeSantis supporter, he's still disappointingly coming across as squishy on Ukraine. Regrettably even threw in some of the populist BS phrases like "territorial dispute". Why are Scott, Haley, and Christie doing a better job articulating the reason it benefits us to support Ukraine and degrade a national enemy than the sole military veteran on stage? Very disappointing. He seems to be trying to attract Trump voters. Won’t happen in any large numbers. Be bold and consistent with your conservative domestic policy by being staunchly against Russian imperialism and aggression. He is going to get hammered if he waffles to get voters who will never leave Trump. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Gudabeg: Seems to be sadly so. Which is frustrating as DeSantis is great on domestic issues, but on Ukraine he's spineless. It’s a Soviet civil war. They will never invade a NATO country. When the wall came down we saw how terrified they were of being invaded. We literally paid Russia to win WW2 for us, then paid Europe to counter. All while our country rots from the inside. |

 ▪️ Ours went to the line of trenches west of Verbovoy Zaporizhzhia region. (16 km south-east of Orikhov). ▪️Geolocation footage shows how a Russian UAV hits our infantry in a trench west of Verbovoy. And this indicates that the enemy, it seems, is no longer present on the trench line (≈1 km). |

Even though they've never tried it. And would be defeated immediately. And don't have any capability to even defeat Ukraine much less NATO. They'll take over the whole of Europe if not for us pumping money into this stalemate.. |

By what metric are you making this determination? Personally, I think it would be refreshing if we, as a nation, actually listened to evil leaders when they telegraph their intentions for once in our recent history. |

Opinion of the source of the Cheka-OGPU:
“Apparently one more piece of the puzzle has been added to the detention of Ruben Vardanyan. Today, the US Department of Justice has intensified the investigation against Swiss banks - UBS and Credit Suisse (now one bank). They are accused of helping sanctioned Russians circumvent sanctions and hide money. Taking into account the fact that At one time, Ruben Vardanyan was accused of creating the largest Laundromat machine from Russia, with the help of Troika Dialog (later Sberbank CIB) and the Armenian bank Ameria Bank, then getting into the Swiss investigation is a logical continuation. This morning, the growing crypto exchange Binance also sold its Russian division. The US Department of Justice is also behind this, threatening to prosecute the owner for helping Russia circumvent sanctions. Today, the Russian financial sector made a “gesture of goodwill” (in the terminology of the Russian Ministry of Defense) of unprecedented scale. https://t.me/vchkogpu/42104 |

Good to see that the evaluation of Russian military capabilities are becoming more realistic. |

Other than trying to destabilize the Baltics, demanding all NATO troops leave Poland, the Baltics, Romania, Bulgaria, etc. Look at the lessons of history: Germany in 1938 was in a position where it would struggle against the Czechs alone and was about to go bankrupt. In 1939 it was able to only fight the Poles by sending everything it had there and praying the allies wouldn't attack in the West, and was running low on stolen Czech cash. By 1940 it was able to crush the Allies in France, and gobbled up the resources of Western Europe to continue the war. And by 1941 conduct a massive invasion of the USSR, and gobbled up Soviet resources and food to prevent mass starvation in Germany. Letting our enemies grow stronger and conquer land is a horrible idea. Though if you don't like WW2 we can use other examples like Napoleon and the Fourth Coalition where Prussia waiting to enter the war let Napoleon defeat Austria and then turn toward Prussia alone, leading to Prussia's subjugation by Napoleon. |
