NATO fighter jets scrambled as Putin kamikaze drones hit port by Romanian border

Daily Mail
By WILL STEWART
17 January 2025

NATO warplanes were scrambled today after a suspected Russian drone crashed following an encroachment of Romanian airspace.

Footage showed a dramatic explosion believed to be at a port on the Ukrainian side of the River Danube, which forms the frontier with Romania.

But reports in Bucharest said the same wave of attacks that a Putin drone had crashed near Tulcea county on the Romanian side of the border.

The Russian incursion triggered the response by NATO fighters, and an air raid warning to residents close to the Danube in Romania.

Residents were told to take shelter in safe areas for 90 minutes during an alert warning that objects could still be falling from the sky.

The Romanian defence ministry said: 'At 1:35 a.m., two F-16 aircraft of the Romanian Air Force, part of the Air Police Combat Service, took off from the 86th Air Base in Borcea to monitor the air situation.



'The aircraft returned to base around 3:48 a.m.'

NATO structures were kept fully abreast of the suspected illegal incursion by Russia, said Romanian officials.

'The Ministry of National Defence sends a firm message of condemnation of these attacks carried out by the Russian Federation against Ukrainian civilian objects and infrastructure elements, which are unjustified and in serious contradiction with the norms of international law,' said a Romanian statement.

Several Russian drones were said to have been launched from Crimea, hitting the port of Chilia Nouă, near the town of Chilia Veche.

The Russian Military Is No Longer a ‘Conventional’ Military Threat to NATO [video]

19fortyfive.com
By Kris Osborn
16 January 2025

Key Points and Summary: The Ukraine war has dramatically diminished Russia’s conventional military threat to NATO. Reports indicate that Russia has lost over 3,000 tanks—its entire active-duty tank force—and faces significant manpower and economic challenges.

-Despite claims of advanced technologies like hypersonics and Su-57s, Russia’s limited production capacity restricts their impact, especially compared to NATO’s hundreds of F-35s.

-Precision ammunition shortages and reliance on outdated equipment further highlight Russia’s struggles.

-While nuclear threats remain a concern, the depletion of conventional forces suggests that Russia’s ability to wage large-scale land war has been significantly undermined, reshaping NATO’s strategic outlook.

A new tank or Sukhoi can be built in a matter of weeks. "Replacing" an experienced army or air force non-com or officer takes 30 or 40 years. The hardware losses are very important; the "software" losses, human beings, have much greater impact. Both countries will suffer for this war, for decades, but only Putin had imperialistic plans. Putin's reconquest plans probably got pushed out so far in time that he might not be alive to try his next reconquest.

Not by Russia.

Russia can only make about 200~ new tanks per year.

At that rate it will take Russia thirty years to replace what it has lost in the past three.

Gotta strongly disagree here, Pete

That's why Putin is rejecting all of Trump's peace proposals, because they all give Ukraine some sort of security guarantee

Putin wants Ukraine naked and helpless, so he can roll back in as soon as Trump's term is finished ... maybe even sooner ...

They consider Ukraine to be their own country, yet they've worked overtime in destroying it.  Putin doesn't care.

200 tanks a year, 52 weeks in a year means almost 4 tanks a week. I underestimated Russia's capacity for building tanks.

With what will Putin "roll back in"? Ukraine has heavily damaged Russia's military. With 800 new-build T-80s or T-90s plus whatever he has left after 3 years of war? And in 4 years he could train 800 new tank crews? And how many planes, SAM systems would he be able to get produced and train new crews? Putin is 72YO. By the time the Russian military gets rebuilt, even if in half of MeganC's estimate, there'll probably be a new sheriff in Moscow, possibly with entirely different goals.

You make strong points, but for Putin it's spring 1945 and he still wants to keep going, no matter what.

Obviously, Trump won't be able "to end this on Day 1", the first few weeks/months of his term will probably need him focussing on the CA disaster, before doing anything else, plus there's still a LOT of issues sort out ... IOW, several more months of war before any "peace".

All the while, Russia keeps drawing down its National Wealth Fund to make up for revenue shortfalls caused by the lost Euro energy markets.

Which will come first ... a Trump peace deal, or Russia runs out of money?

Fake about the First Lady’s ski resort vacation

15.01.2025



A fake about First Lady Olena Zelenska allegedly vacationing at the St. Moritz ski resort is circulating online.

▫️ This claim, along with a video, was spread by a former Ukrainian MP.

The former MP provided no evidence to support his claim. The video he shared only shows a few unidentified individuals getting into a motorcade, with no clear indications that the First Lady or her entourage are present.

▫️ Additionally, the author of the post himself admits that this is merely an assumption.  .  .  .

Even the Russian propaganda outlets admit this is speculation:

The Parliament announced the departure of Elena Zelenskaya from Ukraine


Yesterday, 01:21

MOSCOW, January 16 — RIA Novosti. Elena, the wife of the head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, was spotted at one of the Swiss ski resorts of St. Moritz, ex-deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Igor Mosiychuk made this statement on the Telegram channel.

""War, blood, deaths... rocket attacks on Ukraine one after another… Zelensky is giving out interviews left and right in which he tells how his children, wife and family are experiencing the war in Ukraine with him," he wrote.

The video posted by Mosiychuk allegedly shows a group of people at the airport getting into a car and driving away.

Despite the fact that the Ukrainian authorities denied this information, stating that Zelensky's wife was not there, Mosiychuk promised to provide more information about the whereabouts of Elena Zelenskaya.

"Tomorrow I will tell you about the hotel and the rooms where the most magnificent stayed," he promised.  .  .  .
