If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

Ukrainian Forces Strike Russian Command Post in Khartsyzk, Donetsk Region

Amira Barkhush  |  Jan 08, 2025  |  18:11


The Armed Forces of Ukraine carried out a precision strike on the command post of Russia’s 8th Guards Combined Arms Army, located in the city of Khartsyzk in the Donetsk region.

This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on January 8 on their official Telegram account.

“This facility was seized by occupying Russian armed forces to coordinate attacks against Ukrainian Armed Forces and civilians, especially in Kurakhove. All necessary measures were taken to limit the risk to civilians,” the General Staff wrote without providing any further details for the moment.  .  .

In the video, it appears the firefighters are trying to keep the fire from spreading as they are pumping water on a storage tank that is not on fire.

DMPI (Desired Mean Point of Impact). This is the best place for the warhead to hit to cause the most damage.

When UKF first starting hitting ruzzian oil storage facilities, the drones hit the top of a storage tank. That storage tank then burned out and the fire did not spread.

Now, it appears that UKF are programming the drones to hit near the bottom of a tank.

This spills the petroleum (jet fuel) which spreads the fire to nearby storage tanks causing more damage.

Well done.

I am seeing a lot of x.com blog post videos showing UKF tanks attacking ruzzian infantry, vehicles, and buildings.

This would indicate that Ukraine has developed anti-drone (FPV) EW, as well as the ability to locate and destroy ruzzian ISR drones as well as ruzzian loitering kamikaze drones.

Biden approves $500M Ukraine security package 11 days before Trump takes office
The latest $500 million security package for Ukraine comes less than two weeks before President-elect Trump takes office
 By Chris Pandolfo Fox News
Published January 9, 2025 7:33am EST

The Biden administration on Thursday announced an additional $500 million of military aid to Ukraine in a security package rushed out the door before President-elect Trump takes office.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for the final time at Ramstein Air Base in Germany, where he made the announcement. Both officials used the occasion to urge the incoming Trump administration to continue to support Kyiv's fight against Russia.

"If Putin swallows Ukraine, his appetite will only grow," Austin warned at the 25th meeting of about 50 member nations who have joined forces to support Ukraine with an estimated $122 billion in weapons and support.

"If autocrats conclude that democracies will lose their nerve, surrender their interests, and forget their principles, we will only see more land grabs. If tyrants learn that aggression pays, we will only invite even more aggression, chaos, and war."

The Tu-160 is the 1970s vintage, supersonic, "Backfire" bomber. That its still in service means that it was/is reasonably successful, and probably has been modernized/upgraded. Pinching off its fuel supply is a good thing.

The Neptune missile started as an anti-ship missile.

Since the start of the war, Ukraine has upgraded the missiles to extend the range and to hit ground targets.

South Korea is monitoring the war in Ukraine Russia with great interest.

I firmly believe some South Korean military personnel are in Poland providing real time interpretation of radio intercepts.

Apparently the factory in Gatchina refined jet fuel and manufactured cordite. Good hit!

Re Serbia's decision, Russia's weapons have been covering themselves with something odoriferous rather than glory, especially AA systems.

Has Russia gotten away from their air force's anti-bomber, ground-controlled intercept mindset? The USAF started in the 1970s (or 1960s?) moving on toward a multi-role air warfare model that took advantage of technology, training, and pilot initiative.

Germany phased out the Gepard in 2010, but in the era of drones, the radar-controlled quad 35 mm cannon could be pretty handy. Drones are relatively low cost, but the 35 mm shells probably lower still.

I wonder how much damage Russian AA does to surrounding towns and cities. Historically, many/most of the civilians killed during the Pearl Harbor attack were killed by USN and/or USA AA shells. Contact-fuse shells don't differentiate between military targets and incidental civilians.

Without a doubt, there is some damage as most of the military targets and petroleum infrastructure are near civilian areas.

A Ukrainian drone takes down 3 Russian Mavic drones using a shotgun, then fires at a Russian combatant and finishes them off with a grenade.

That's badass!

I personally believe that Putin is kept in the dark WRT bad news.

What I find amazing is how the BDA videos of the attacks on petroleum infrastructure get posted.

Are partisans being given advanced notice of the attacks so they can position themselves to take BDA videos?

Back a bit over a century ago, SF Bay Area refineries and explosives manufacturers located well away from residential areas. The explosives companies bought more land than they used to keep a buffer area between their operations and residents (some of whom worked for the companies). Stalin and later Soviet leaders would not have been as careful. Nor Putin, probably.
I am not and never have been a leftist.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Or more likely that Ukraine is ignoring them.
The ONLY reason Ukraine ever listened to 'American restrictions' was because of fear America would cut off aid, in money and equipment. Now that no more aid is coming until Trump takes over, there is no longer any need to worry about what Biden and the idiot fool Blinken wants.

The same applies to Israel.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists

How these suburban moms in Ukraine manage grief by training to down Russian drones

NPR
Joanna Kakissis
January 10, 2025

NEAR BUCHA, Ukraine — The suburban moms in army-green fatigues assemble their rifles in a cold forest outside the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv.

Valentyna trained as a veterinarian. Inna is a teacher. Tetiana used to be a water utilities inspector. The others include a real estate agent, a nanny and a pastry chef.

On a Saturday afternoon, they shoot at targets in a muddy range. Valentyna grins after she nails a shot.

"Feels good," she says, "especially after what we've been through."

The women call themselves the "Combat Witches of Bucha." The name comes from a badge one of the women have depicting a witch with weapons, though the women say the name isn't important. Their mission is. They are part of a female air defense unit training to shoot down drones in the suburbs of Kyiv. They live in those suburbs, where occupying Russian troops killed, tortured and raped residents early in the 2022 invasion. NPR is not disclosing the women's last names at the request of the Ukrainian military.
