"Ukraine's Security Chief: Give Ukraine weapons and we will bury this piece...
Story by Jeppe



In a powerful statement to the world, Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Oleksiy Danilov underscored the necessity of arming Ukraine to ensure global security and peace.

He emphasized the importance of dismantling the Russian regime, which he described as criminally terrorist.


In a Facebook post, Danilov was forthright in his message: “Only the systematic, consistent and methodical destruction of Putin's fascist formation is the best guarantee of security for Ukraine and the world, the absence of a missile threat to peaceful cities. Give Ukraine weapons and we will bury this piece..."

Danilov expressed a resolute determination to continue the fight against Russian aggression, despite the ongoing missile attacks in Ukrainian skies.

He vowed vengeance for the lives lost, including 513 children, fallen defenders, and every tortured Ukrainian soul, promising to retaliate a hundredfold.

The Secretary took the opportunity to thank those on the front lines: the defenders of the Ukrainian sky, rescuers, doctors, and energy workers, acknowledging their resilience against Russian terrorist attacks.

On the night of January 2, Russia escalated its offensive with a massive air strike using various weapons, including cruise missiles and Kinzhals. The Ukrainian air defense responded effectively. The strikes resulted in civilian casualties and infrastructure damage in Kyiv, with disruptions in electricity and water supply. In Kharkiv, a residential area was hit, leading to one fatality and over 40 injuries.
Danilov’s statement represents a stark reminder of the ongoing conflict's severity and the urgent need for international support. His appeal for weapons reflects a broader call for global solidarity against threats to peace and security.

Пассажиропоток в "Шереметьево" вырос на четверть за 2023 год, несмотря на санкции. В минувшем году крупнейший аэропорт России обслужил 36,6 млн пассажиров, отчитался его гендиректор Андрей Никулин. Это на 28,7% больше, чем годом ранее.

На внутренних рейсах, по словам Никулина, было обслужено 27 млн пассажиров, что на 22% больше прошлого года, на международных - 9,6 млн пассажиров, что в полтора раза больше показателей 2022 года. Самыми популярными зарубежными направлениями стали Анталья, Стамбул, Ереван, Минск и Пекин.

Однако показатели "Шереметьево" все еще ниже, чем до пандемии коронавируса и начала полномасштабной войны РФ против Украины. В 2019 года аэропорт обслужил 49,9 млн пассажиров.

Bundestag calls for provision of Taurus missiles to Ukraine after Russian attack.
Story by European Pravda, Ukrainska Pravda



Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, Chairwoman of the Bundestag's Defence Committee and Representative of the Free Democratic Party, criticised the slow supply of weapons to Ukraine amid another large-scale Russian missile attack.

According to Strack-Zimmermann, the talk about supporting Ukraine "as long as it takes" will be just words "if we do not continue to support Ukraine together with our European partners to a much greater extent".

"Ukraine needs more ammunition, more replacement parts, and we need to immediately mobilise Taurus [missiles – ed.] to finally complicate the possibility of resupply for Russia," Strack-Zimmermann stressed.

"And the much-publicised European F-16 coalition needs to be operational much sooner if we are to counter Russian air superiority. Putin is counting on us to be afraid of our own courage. And he's right. This hesitation is very bitter," Strack-Zimmermann added.

Sara Nanni, the press secretary for the security of the German The Greens party, in a comment to t-online, also called for reliable German assistance to Ukraine. According to Nanni, "we need certainty in planning when it comes to German support" for Ukraine, adding that "at the moment, it is not enough due to intense discussions on the budget".

Nanni pointed out that Ukraine desperately needs "ammunition for artillery, Taurus [missiles] and spare parts for large equipment that we supply."

Background:

・On the morning of 2 January, Russia launched a large-scale missile attack on Ukraine. In Kyiv the fall of missile wreckage was recorded in Pecherskyi, Obolonskyi, Holosiivskyi and Sviatoshynskyi districts. There are also hits in Kharkiv.

・Valerii Zaluzhnyi, Commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said that the Russians launched 99 missiles of various types at Ukraine, 72 of which were destroyed.

・Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, after a large-scale Russian missile attack, is waiting for a reaction and decisive steps from Western countries.

Ukraine struck a new $250 million Russian artillery radar system right after the military touted its arrival.

A Russian Yastreb-AV radar system before and after it's hit in Ukraine on Jan. 2, 2024

- Russia on Tuesday touted a counter-battery radar system that had just deployed to the battlefield.
- Hours later, Ukrainian forces struck it with HIMARS rockets.
- Counter-battery radars have been critical, allowing both armies to track incoming artillery.

Ukrainian forces struck an expensive, new Russian counter-battery radar system with rockets on the same day military officials announced its deployment to the battlefield.

The Russian defense ministry and various state media outlets announced on Tuesday that Russian troops in Ukraine had received the 1K148 Yastreb-AV, a $250 million counter-battery radar system designed to detect the trajectory of incoming artillery and determine the point of origin for munitions.

Moscow touted the Yastreb-AV as a modern and highly capable system in its announcements, with state media reporting that it was tested in late 2021 or early 2022. But just hours after the announcement it had been fielded in Ukraine, it was hit hard by the very threat it was there to help defeat.

Ukraine's Special Operations Forces said on Telegram that it discovered the Yastreb-AV during a reconnaissance mission, but the exact battlefield location remains unclear.

Ukrainian forces then fired munitions from a US-made High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) at the exposed Russian target, which was destroyed by fire damage. Kyiv published a video of the strike to multiple social media channels.

Avdiivka Eats Russian Tanks. The Kremlin Is About To Feed It More.
Story by David Axe, Forbes Staff



In 10 weeks of mostly failed assaults on the Ukrainian garrison in Avdiivka, just northwest of Donetsk in eastern Ukraine’s Donbas region, the Russian army has lost or abandoned at least 143 tanks—while advancing just a mile or so north and south of the ruined city.

The Ukrainian army meanwhile has lost or abandoned 14 tanks defending Avdiivka.

The ongoing battle, one of the most intensive of Russia’s third annual winter offensive in its 23-month wider war on Ukraine, is a trap for Russian armor—and an opportunity for Ukraine to attrit Russian forces.

Taking into account new tank production, recovery of old tanks from long-term storage and the need to make good steep armor losses in 2022, the Kremlin can afford to write off 50 or so tanks a month without depleting its overall arsenal of around 3,000 front-line tanks.

Around Avdiivka alone, the Russians are losing 60 tanks a month. And that number could grow as the 239th Tank Regiment rolls into battle—and runs afoul of the same minefields and artillery and drone kill-zones that pulverized the tank units that came before it.

After taking heavy losses in October, the Russian field armies around Avdiivka—the 2nd and 41st Combined Arms Armies—held back their armor and sent in their infantry, on foot.

The infantry got massacred. Anyone who survived the mines, artillery and drones ran into the Ukrainian army’s 47th Mechanized Brigade with its American-made M-2 fighting vehicles, whose 25-millimeter autocannons cut like scythes through unprotected infantry.

Now it’s possible the 2nd and 41st CAAs plan to roll more tanks toward Avdiivka. “The concentration of the 239th Tank Regiment of the 90th Tank Division is ongoing southwest of Avdiivka,” the Center for Defense Strategies, a Ukrainian think-tank, reported on Wednesday.
The 239th is the third Russian tank regiment on the Avdiivka front, after the 80th and 10th. On paper, the 239th has a hundred or more tanks in several battalions altogether manned by a few thousand people.

In 2022, it was a T-72 regiment. But after taking a beating in Russia’s failed speed-run toward Kyiv in February and March 2022 and then getting further mauled trying and failing to halt Ukraine’s counteroffensive around Kharkiv in late 2022, the 239th at least partially reequipped with newer T-90s.

But today the regiment might be closer to a battalion in strength. As recently as early November, the Institute for the Study of War in Washington, D.C. described the 239th as “understrength.”

Don’t expect a weak regiment with a few new tanks to make much of a difference around Avdiivka. Ukrainian defenses are holding, and “the situation in Avdiivka remains relatively stable,” Ukrainian think-tank Frontelligence Insight reported on Wednesday.

Rather, it’s likely the 239th Tank Regiment will be the latest Russian regiment to feed its tanks and their three-person crews into Avdiivka’s hungry maw.

For the Russians, it’s a debacle—one that’s robbing their forces of the combat power they would need to make meaningful advances this winter.

For the Ukrainians, it’s stasis. Against all odds, Kyiv’s forces have held. They’re no longer advancing, as they were—slowly—last summer. But neither are they falling back.

Instead, they’re preserving their own forces while exacting an awful toll on the Russians for each attack the Russians attempt.

...когда журналист не имеет понятия о чем пишет. Системы контр-батарейной борьбы засекают неуправляемые артиллерийские снаряды и пользуясь баллистическим вычислителем определяют место выпуска снаряда. Для управляемых ракет таких как GMLRS у HIMARS или Искандер такой метод практически бесполезен. Так что нет, it was not hit by the very threat it was there to help defeat.

Насколько я понял тот радар за четверть миллиарда многофункционален и засекает и батареи и пусковые установки...

Но его замтил украинский дрон, и передал координаты.

ширина дороги ? чило полос на дороге ? габаритные размеры танка ? Если на дороге подобьют пять танков и никто их оттуда с дороги не уберёт , то следующие пять танков там же просто невозможно подбить - они ведь туда заехать не смогут.

( короче - ну всё не сходится )

мягко говоря , все эти китайские дроны для защиты от дачных воров - халтура ещё та. ( можно с их помощью мёд красть прямо из улья на пасеке ).
