Ukraine has very skilled people. Also, they have more experience than anyone, with a very big variety of Western and Soviet SAM systems. Of each existing solution, they know its qualities and its limitations. They should be able to make the right choices and develop a high quality SAM.

Four russian oil depots are currently engulfed in flames. The depots in Engels and Liski continue to burn following earlier drone strikes, while those in the Kaluga and Tula regions were attacked overnight and are now also on fire

A new military aid package from the UK:

Ukraine seems to be increasing their rate of attacks on Russian oil facilities. If Ukraine can keep up such high attack numbers then it will be very interesting to follow how this will impact the already struggling Russian economy.

Ukraine has downed a russian Mi-8 helicopter from a drone boat (USV).

You allow Russia to invade one country, you invite Russia to invade the next country. You allow Russia to shoot down one passenger plane, you invite Russia to shoot down the next passenger plane. You allow Russia to cut one undersea cable, you invite Russia to cut more undersea cables.

Mossad's exploding pager op began 10 yrs ago with explosives in walkie-talkies. Hezbollah bought 16,000+ of these, but Mossad didn't detonate them until this yr. In 2022 Mossad began booby-trapping pagers too. Unlike walkie-talkies, which only got worn in battle, Hezbollah wore pagers all the time
