[Alex_Sor]

Iranian ballistic missiles Fateh-110 and Zolfaghar, which Russia can get, will become a big problem and a "headache" for Ukraine.

This statement was made by military expert Oleg Zhdanov.

According to him, these missiles have detachable warheads:

"To date, none of the Western experts have conducted tests in terms of trying to shoot down these missiles ... Theoretically, anti-missile systems should shoot them down, but in practice, how it will look ... As I understand it, we will only be able to see on the battlefield ... We will fight back from these missiles with those missile defense systems, which, perhaps, by this time will be handed over to us by our Western partners," the expert noted.

At the same time, Zhdanov noted, as evidenced by Iran's decision to continue such military cooperation with Russia:

"This shows that Iran has gone for broke, it is ready to give a damn about the nuclear deal. Iran is not going to disarm. It is not going to transfer its nuclear energy under control. It is becoming on a war footing. Iran is choosing the path of confrontation."

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky spoke about today's air defense work in the Kiev direction.

So, according to him, in a month, Ukrainian forces have already shot down 233 Iranian kamikaze drones launched by the terrorist country of the Russian Federation.

"We are working to guarantee the complete security of the Ukrainian skies. We already have significant results: 233 Shahids and dozens of missiles were shot down within a month. Today alone, and only in the Kiev direction, 10 Iranian drones were destroyed. Another 11 Shahids were shot down thanks to to the soldiers of the Air Command "South".

Since February 24, more than 90 dolphins have been identified in the Odessa region, which died due to the use of sonar by Russian ships.

This was announced at a press conference by the head of the Odessa Regional Prosecutor's Office Sergey Kostenko.

According to him, an investigation is underway under Art. 441 (ecocide) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine - on the fact of the mass death of dolphins on the Black Sea coast in the Odessa region.

According to Kostenko, now the investigation knows about 95 dolphins.

"But we understand that there are many more of them," the prosecutor added.

Now specialists have taken samples from 6 corpses, which are sent to specialized institutes in Italy and Germany, which should give an answer about the causes of death of these animals.

The investigation believes that the dolphins died due to the massive use of sonars (sonars) on ships of the Russian Armed Forces. It is believed that these devices damage the hearing organs of dolphins, and this leads to their death.

Also, the relevant documents were sent to Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey, where the facts of the death of dolphins were also recorded.

Drones on blood.
Why Ukraine does not produce thousands of drones per month and who is to blame.

Taras Troyak
(please turn on subtitles and switch the translation from Russian to English)

 

The head of the All-Ukrainian Federation of Drone Owners, Taras Troyak, gave a harsh picture of how officials create artificial obstacles to the production of combat drones in Ukraine. In fact, we are talking about sabotage for the sake of personal enrichment and the creation of monopolies for officials who do not care about the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the interests of the state.

Iran's Spread of UAV Technology Is a Threat That Goes Beyond Ukraine

The United States of America will continue activities to prevent Iran from exporting combat drones to Russia.

According to Voice of America spokesman Ned Price during a press briefing at the State Department on Thursday, Oct. 20 announced the actions that the United States will take to facilitate the supply of Iranian UAVs in Russia and their use in Ukrainian territories.

According to the speaker, the US, along with the EU and the UK, will impose new sanctions on Iranian individuals and entities supporting the Russian war. Ned Price recalled that the US has already imposed sanctions on members of a network of companies and individuals that provide important support to Iran's UAV program.

Ned Price voiced concern about the threat posed by Iranian UAVs outside Ukraine. According to the speaker, "these drones pose a risk and a deadly threat to Ukraine, but the spread of UAV technology by Iran is a threat that goes far beyond Ukraine."

“Our point of view is that we will take all possible measures to prevent Iran's ability to use and export this lethal technology. We act in accordance with US authority. There are UN Security Council resolutions, there is the UN Security Council, there is a UN panel of experts. (...) Therefore, we are going to use all the powers and tools that we have, because we know about the harm and death, the losses that it can cause not only in Ukraine, but also in the region," said Ned Price.

Since the beginning of the Russian full-scale invasion, the US has continued to provide funding and weapons to Ukraine, including for air defense. "We provided 1,400 Stinger surface-to-air missiles, which our Ukrainian partners used effectively," Price commented. "We have allowed countries to provide Ukraine with their own sophisticated air defense systems. One example we have pointed to is the provision by Slovakia of the F 300," Ned Price added.

"This applies to everyone. We turn off unnecessary electrical appliances. From kettles to electric heaters. From irons to washing machines. We do not turn on a single energy-intensive device," said Aleksey Kuleba.

In addition, as reported by Ukrenergo, restrictions on the supply of electricity are being introduced in Kyiv and four regions due to an increase in its consumption (cooling weather in Ukraine).

"Due to a sharp increase in the level of electricity consumption, the Ukrenergo Dispatch Center is forced to introduce a temporary controlled limitation of electricity consumption in Kyiv and Kyiv, Chernihiv, Cherkasy, Zhytomyr regions.

If Russia blows up the Kakhovka dam, it will be able to delay the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for several weeks, and Crimea and the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant will also be left without water.

This was stated in an interview by the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate Kirill Budanov.

“It is partially mined, it’s true. Well, it’s very difficult to evaluate the stupidity of the Russians (readiness to go on such a terrorist attack) with some kind of logic. to do - what will they lose and what will they gain? And secondly: you can partially blow up the dam, or you can completely. So, to blow it up completely, such work has not been carried out. Mining has been carried out partially for partial destruction, if necessary. To destroy such a level of construction, we need dozens of tons of explosives, properly located," Kirill Budanov said.

Budanov also stressed that undermining the dam will flood the left bank of the Kherson region, and this terrorist attack will bring more problems to the Russians than good.

"They will even theoretically lose the possibility of supplying water to the North Crimean Canal, to the Crimea, until we rebuild the dam, and it will take a very long time. is inextricably linked with it, and of course they will make it difficult for us to advance for a certain period of time, and this, by the way, is not a very long period of time, about two weeks.

But they will be forced to retreat directly to the Crimea. In other words, if you produce continuous destruction, then the scenario is as follows. Are they ready for it? I think not," the head of the GUR explained.

Ukraine has serious work to do to restore critical infrastructure.

After Russia's massive attack on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, some of the damaged facilities are more expedient to build anew than to restore.

This was stated by the head of the board of NPC "Ukrenergo" Volodymyr Kudrytsky, RBC reports.

"Everything is subject to repair and restoration, the only question is the timing. There are objects that can be restored in a few days, there are those that can be restored in weeks, and there are - in months," he said.

Kudritsky stressed that Ukraine has serious work to do to restore critical infrastructure.

"This still needs to be assessed, but it would be more expedient to rebuild some facilities than to restore them. So our network will become more modern, since no one will rebuild using old technologies," the head of Ukrenergo added.
Russia's attack on the energy system of Ukraine:

On the morning of October 10, Russia launched attacks on a number of regions of Ukraine. In particular, explosions were heard in Vinnitsa, Lvov, Kirovograd, Mykolaiv, Poltava, Ternopil, Zhytomyr, Kyiv regions. Hits on critical infrastructure facilities have been recorded.

The vast majority of Ukrainian citizens surveyed support the continuation of the armed struggle, despite Russian missile strikes.

This is evidenced by the results of the all-Ukrainian public opinion poll "Omnibus", conducted by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) on October 21-23.

According to the survey, despite Russian shelling that destroys infrastructure and takes lives, 86% of respondents answered that the armed struggle should still be continued, even if the shelling continues. In particular, among them 71% fully agree with this opinion (the remaining 15% rather agree).

Only 10% of respondents answered that it is necessary to start negotiations in order to stop the shelling as soon as possible, even if they have to make concessions to Russia (6% answered that it is necessary to start negotiations "quickly", and 4% - that it is necessary to "completely" start negotiations) . Another 4% found it difficult to answer.

In addition, the need to continue the struggle is supported by 88% of respondents in the west of Ukraine, 89% in the center, 86% in the south and 69% in the east.

At the same time, among the respondents who chose Russian for the interview, the vast majority (66%) also believe that armed resistance should continue, even if the shelling continues, and only 29% believe that negotiations should be started, even if you have to make concessions .

Among those who answered in Ukrainian, 89% of those polled are in favor of continuing the struggle.

"The Ukrainian people maintain strong unity and stability and are ready to continue the fight until victory," Anton Grushetsky said.

Russia's alleged concerns about Ukraine's use of a "dirty bomb" are patently false.

This was stated by the representative of the National Security Council Adrienne Watson in a comment to CNN.

"We reject reports of blatantly false allegations by Minister Shoigu that Ukraine is preparing to use a dirty bomb on its own soil. The world will consider any attempt to use this accusation as a pretext for escalation," Watson said.

In addition, the US is watching very closely any information that Russia has a specific plan to blow up the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station.

 Earlier, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that Ukraine could allegedly arrange provocations using a "dirty bomb".

President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Shoigu arranged a "telephone carousel", calling the defense ministers of NATO states. According to Zelensky, only Putin can use nuclear weapons in Europe.

Today Shoigu requested a phone call with US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. Details of this conversation were not disclosed.

Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov, commenting on the accusations of the Russian Federation, invited UN and IAEA monitoring missions to Ukraine and demanded compliance with 4 points of the Budapest Memorandum.

Reznikov recalled that since 2014 Russia has repeatedly used such tactics.

“After February 24, Russia openly threatened to use nuclear weapons. In the spring, it deliberately provoked the disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, and now it is blackmailing the world with the catastrophe at the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant. Its missiles pose a danger to other nuclear facilities in Ukraine. Unlike Moscow, Ukraine has always been extremely responsible in issues of nuclear safety. Our nuclear facilities are open to the IAEA even today. It is elementary to make sure that Russian statements are nonsense," the minister stressed.

Reznikov stressed that the best response to Russian accusations should be decisive steps to increase pressure on the criminal terrorist regime in Moscow, as well as active assistance to Ukraine with funds that will quickly clear the Ukrainian land of misfortune so that no one would even think of committing a nuclear crime. in Europe.

"Not as a minister, but as a citizen, I would like to note the following: the attitude towards the land in Ukraine has always been special. Today, from the reaction of our soldiers and all our people, I see how sincerely they strive to free the Ukrainian land from Russian dirt. From shells, remnants of equipment, garbage , which the Russian hordes leave behind. This is not even a military one - this is a mental need, "Reznikov wrote.

At the same time, he added that it is impossible even theoretically to imagine that Ukraine is capable of doing something that can cause long-term pollution of Ukrainian land, because "this is nonsense."

Reznikov thanked the partners who adequately perceive this dangerous Russian chatter."

“Very specific Russian troops remain in Kherson - these are paratroopers and marines, which are reinforced by mobilized ones. And this suggests that the enemy wants to arrange some interesting things, I won’t say Stalingrad, rather street battles in order to drag Ukraine into confrontation for a long time and use their specific knowledge," Yagun said.

The general noticed that the Russians cleared Kherson from the local population for this, so that there would be no information about these troops. At the same time, the rashists will change into civilian clothes in order to enter the rear of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and carry out sabotage, Yagun believes.

"Some of our fighters, who were trained in the UK, studied to clean up large cities and fight in large conglomerates, therefore, I do not exclude that it is these units that will clean up our Kherson from enemy gangs, because it will be difficult to call them troops," Yagun noted.

The laurels of the Kapranov brothers selling their script to Netflix keep me awake. 

But there is no time to write a script, so here I will tell one plot that has been spinning in my head for a couple of months - "Dance of Mirrors" (once there was such a novel by the incomparable Lois McMaster Bujold).

So, imagine that the conflict between the "towers of the Kremlin" comes out into the public space in the form of a parade of doppelgangers. A bunch of Putin's doppelgängers appear, each with its own "tower". And in different places.
One Putin, with the support of the FSB, appears in St. Petersburg, and the FSB certifies his authenticity, which is signed by many officers with whom he once served. Another Putin is sitting in Moscow, and the FSO definitely confirms that this is exactly the Putin they have been guarding for many years, and all the others are doubles. Another Putin is announced in the Urals, the oligarchs close to him know for sure that this one is real. At the same time, Kadyrov declares that the real Putin is in Grozny under the protection of his loyal troops, because there is treason in the country, and the infidels want to replace Putin.
Rosgvardiya also has its own Putin, and as the only real Putin, Rosgvardiya will protect him from the influx of doppelgangers. Each Putin speaks through the channels he can reach and accuses the rest of treason and inauthenticity.

This would be the plot! Whoever writes and screens the script, don't forget to thank me in the credits.
Don't laugh and say it can't be. Because, first of all, Russia has proven that it is capable of making Orwell and Pelevin a reality. Secondly, there is a very strong effect of track dependence, which I have written about many times. Both the Time of Troubles at the beginning of the 17th century and the numerous uprisings of the following centuries demonstrate exactly this pattern of the "false king".
So if all this becomes a reality, I'm asking for 5% of the Nobel Prize -- whether for literature or medicine, I don't know.

Inside the U.S. Effort to Arm Ukraine

Since the start of the Russian invasion, the Biden Administration has provided valuable intelligence and increasingly powerful weaponry—a risky choice that has paid off in the battle against Putin.

Kadyrov urged to destroy the cities of Ukraine: "They are trying to put us on our feet"

The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, admitted that the war in Ukraine did not go according to Moscow's plan, and called for the destruction of Ukrainian cities in response to alleged shelling of the Russian border.
(Kadyrov is telling a lie. Ukrainian troops do not fire on Russian territory, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has repeatedly reported this.)

“The war is already going on on our territory. I am very dissatisfied with this. We have already declared martial law, but the Ukrainians are shooting. And we, in my opinion, weakly answer: if a shell has landed on our house, we must wipe Ukrainian cities off the face of the Earth so that we can see the distant horizon," Kadyrov said.

Kadyrov complained that the West unleashed a cold war against Russia 10 years ago, and now "they are trying in every possible way to destroy Russia or put it on its feet (Kadyrov's original quote) so that we become slaves."

"They should be shot. I give Ramzan Kadyrov's word: we will destroy them, no matter how many there are," Kadyrov replied, adding that "Muslims and Christians must redouble their efforts and destroy this Satanism."

At the end, Kadyrov addressed the Russian reservists:
"That's not enough. There are almost 1.6 million of us. Age doesn't matter, you should be in the military registration and enlistment offices. Why are you sitting at home if your son tells you: men protect family values, religion, the state there?" - Putin's friend asked.

The overthrow of Putin's power

In recent months, against the background of repeated defeats of the Russian Armed Forces on the battlefield, talk of a change in the Putin regime in Russia has become more frequent.

The confrontation between Russian Defense Ministry officials and private military companies represented by Prigozhin reached a new level when Kadyrov called for General Lapin to be sent to the front to "wash away the blood of soldiers."

Kadyrov's words were publicly supported by Prigozhin, who is actively recruiting convicts to the front.

So far, nothing threatens Putin within the Kremlin walls, but if Russia does not make progress in Ukraine by the spring of 2023, the Russian president will have problems, Reuters writes.
