The loss of Khmeimim Air Base would have profound operational consequences. This strategic hub is essential for sustaining Russia’s power projection across the M-E, Africa, and South and Central America. Its loss would disrupt the logistics supporting military aircraft transiting to these regions.

After initial hesitation Russia has pledged full support for Assad and with that Russian media looks to be laying the groundwork work for a chemical attack to blame on the West and Syrian opposition forces open.substack.com/pub/olgalaut...
Wonder what impact this will have on Russian ops in Africa. Syria is the main stop for all military forces and equipment sent to Africa.
There is a saying that people with big cars are try to compensate for something…
In other news. Swedish minesweeper M77 has spent a good part of the day doing something close to what I believe is Aurora, a brand new comms cable. Their words: "Super mega fiber cable" Yi Peng 3 passed that exact spot. Probably worth more investigation. Not sure the cable is even operating yet.
I think CN ship Yi Peng 3 is being detained. Suspect in cable incidents. She slowed down to a crawl in Kattegatt, manouvered to 400 meters inside DK territory. DK navy patrol P525 to her port. Guess: she is detained, awaiting either DE, FI or SE staff since they are the countries affected.
Gallup, the famous analytics firm known for its public opinion polls, recently released a study titled "Half of Ukrainians Want Quick, Negotiated End to War." The data might sound controversial, with many citing the headline without delving deeper into the survey. 🧵Thread:
Permission to strike with ATACMS came as timely as it did in October 2023, when the counteroffensive was essentially over. Don’t expect a major shift on the battlefield, as the nature of the setbacks for a Ukrainian army comes from different issues, especially if it’s limited to a Kursk only
Russian missile attacks on Ukraine could continue weekly, with enough missile in stock for 5-8 more strikes of such size, warns expert Oleksandr Musiyenko. According to him, the threat may persist until the inauguration of US President Donald Trump. www.rbc.ua/rus/news/rak...

This was predictable. Seoul must respond immediately, not six months from now. Failing to act will only strengthen Russia-DPRK relations.
Yesterday, North Korea showed off their newly developed drone program which just so happen to exactly mimic Iranian 'Qasef-2' and Russian 'Lancet' drones. Who could have guessed that this would happen?

The number of 'Shahed' drones Russia have launched towards Ukraine in recent weeks is staggering. Throughout November so far, the Ukrainian AF has reported more than 1,100 Shahed launches. This is more than any single month this year with the exception of September and October.
It’s nice to see talented people moving from Twitter to BlueSky :) I’m might post from time to time again.
