HERE IS WHAT I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE DEATH OF GONZALO LIRA (R.I.P.)

Gonazlo's death is a crime by ukrop and U.S. nazis who allowed him to die in prison from medical neglect. It is a form of torture and murder. I extend my sincere condolences to him, his family, his friends and followers. He did not deserve it, and it only serves as further proof of how evil our enemies truly are, both in Banderastan and in the U.S.

It is no secret that I did not trust him, and did not hold his work in high regard, but I never wished him harm, and am angered and disgusted by his torture and murder at the hands of US and ukrop nazis.

I did not trust Gonzalo because I did not believe he could live in Ukraine and be any kind of an opposition journalist and survive. Gonzalo could have come to Donbass and continued his work from here anytime he wanted to. For some reason, he never did. Ukraine is a war zone under nazi occupation, and has been since 2014. If I was caught in Ukraine, I would not survive for 24 hours. Which is why I will not go there without the Russian Army.

A war zone under nazi occupation is a dangerous place, and mistakes can be extremely painful or even deadly. Gonzalo did not deserve what happened to him in any way, but he made a fatal mistake and underestimated the evil of his enemies. He could have left when he had the chance, and he should have. God rest his soul. 🙏🏻

На Украине тоже строили укрытия. Ревизировали бомбоубежища. К счастью, у нас не настолько сильный уровень обстрелов с обеих сторон, чтобы возникла реальная необходимость в таких мерах. Что в Белгороде, что в Киеве или Днепропетровске. Я не знаю случаев, чтобы это кому-то реально помогло. Чтобы кто-то спустился в бомбоубежище и выжил, а его жилище разнесло. Таких случаев не знаю. Да и выбегать из дома и бежать во время обстрела в бомбоубежище опаснее, чем ждать дома.

Строительство таких объектов — скорее психологическая реакция на угрозу. Надо же хоть что-то делать. В Донецке такие укрытия не стоят. А Донецк обстреливают 10 лет. За это время кого можно перевели на удаленную работу. Это реально помогает.

При этом надо понимать, что даже если открыть все бомбоубежища и забаррикадировать все остановки, это, к сожалению, не убережет от случайных жертв. Фактор неожиданности — постоянный спутник войны. Хотя можно, например, пленками окна общественного транспорта бронировать, чтобы осколками людей не било. Странно, что этого до сих пор не сделали. Это бы тоже реально помогало. Это не дорого, но эффективно.

Единственный способ справиться с обстрелами — отодвигать линию фронта. Лишать ВСУ орудий. Побеждать. Ничто другое не поможет.

U.S., UK START ANOTHER UNWINNABLE WAR IN YEMEN

Missile strikes on the Ukraine (morning update).

The method we used during this morning's strikes was apparently the right one.

The X-101 cruise missiles launched at around 6.00-6.30 in the morning from Tu-95MS aircraft, having used up all their fuel, either landed by about 9.00 or ended up hitting something (it is not yet clear). According to my information, they flew much more than 2,000 km - from the launch area over the Caspian Sea, then zigzagged across the south of the Ukraine and the center to the north. Then they circled around its western part for a long time. Apparently their main task was to reveal the enemy’s air defense system.

Then, according to the information we have, several strikes were carried out against UAF air defense systems using Tu-22M3, Mig-31K and Su-35 aircraft with ultra-high-speed high-precision weapons (Kinzhal missiles), so that the massive targets, such as enemy mobile systems, did not have time to change their positions. At the same time, enemy radars were hit by Kh-31 missiles. It is still unclear what the X-22/32 hit, but we’ll wait.

There is evidence that at the same time there were also Iskander launches from the ground.

The raid is over for now. All Russian planes have returned to their bases, our missiles are no longer flying over the Ukraine.

Since today the targets of the morning strikes were purely military targets and they were carried out with missiles that “do not get shot down” (with the exception of the preliminary strikes) there is not much moaning on enemy public resources about the “bad Russians” attacking Ukrainian peaceful cities with their S-300's (Ukrainian air defense missiles in fact) .

Today's strike was indeed unique in many ways. We are waiting for the results... Sooner or later they will emerge...

YURI PODOLYAKA

A black day for justice, freedom of speech and rule of law (or what was left of them) in the UK. The kangaroo court found against my friend, journalist Graham Phillips in London, deciding that The law is whatever they want it to be, and "The Crown" can punish anyone they want, for anything they want, anytime they want. It's an ugly sight. Good luck, Graham, at least they didn't throw you in The Tower.

Deeply disappointing High Court decision today to do away with rule of law and freedom of speech in the UK.

I shall fight on, both my work from Donbass, and for freedom of speech in the UK.

Have communicated more fully on this with Peter Hitchens of the Mail. Notwithstanding differences of view on certain subjects, he has supported me in this from day 1, must be said.

Thank you for your support!!!!

I think the timing is perfect for Beijing to launch its special military operation. We're hanging in there, everyone have had enough of the Nazis in Kiev. Israel continues to massacre Palestinians, the Americans are raining missiles on Yemen, now the Houthis are heroes of Islam and will take over the country - everyone who isn't a Zelensky is now for them. And then China launches its operation. Biden will join Austin. And we finally break the beast's neck. Then Iran gets involved, the clown from Argentina goes to take back the Malvinas. Maduro moves on Guyana. The Mali Empire attacks Nigeria. The German farmers will revolt and Red Sara will come to power. Macron will flee to Sunak. Something like that.

It's one of two things: either we win and humanity is saved, or we don't.

Farmers from many neighboring countries have joined the strikes, demonstrations and road blockades in Germany

At least a hundred tractors and trucks from Poland, the Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland, France, Belgium and Holland are reported to have pulled up by this weekend.

Note: and they said it was Russia that hunger riots would break out.

@Slavyangrad

here is a carousel of enemy drones all over the Zaporozhye front. I think it's the same on other fronts. There are countless enemy drones. When you drive into a front-line village, it’s as if you’ve walked into a hornet’s nest—everything is buzzing. At the entrance, enemy FPV drones are on duty in the air. In pairs. One immediately attacks, the other registers defeat and attacks those who rush to help the victim.

During interrogations, Ukrainian prisoners say that in many of their military formations and units the staffing levels have been changed, and now almost every infantry platoon has drone operator sections. Looks like it's true.

Yesterday the enemy attacked the unit next to us. In half an hour, 25 kamikaze drones arrived, 14 of them chasing one infantry fighting vehicle. If for them the price of a target is higher than the loss of two dozen FPV drones, they do not spare them. And they have them in abundance.

Rotating positions becomes a challenge, to say the least. We take advantage of bad weather, but with the arrival of cold weather it is rare here. The vile sun shines relentlessly. In short, we need to react to this new reality and quickly develop a technical response.

And the answer should be like this:
1) FPV drone blockers are needed everywhere, including to protect columns in motion. We've been talking about this for six months;
2) there should be an abundance of your own FPV drones. In all units and along the entire front. We will promptly train operators, but the drones themselves are needed as a massive consumable item. To produce them in quantities that meet the new needs of the front, it is necessary to remove all bureaucratic restrictions and delays and apply state support measures to producers. There should be many producers themselves, and not just selected and appointed ones.

Here's what else... The prices from resellers are surprising / does the author mean MO? If so, then there was already one patriot who wrote about shooting/. They take as many ends from the price of the product. It is enough to compare with what is indicated on AliExpress and finally understand that, as a rule, we are dealing with criminal speculators. I think that for providing the front with products that are three or four times more expensive (or even more) than what they cost for delivery, they should be shot.

/Dmitry Rogozin/

PS I strongly support what Dmitry Rogozin wrote. Yesterday in the Summary I wrote about the same thing. We need to radically increase the number of drones and drone pilots and saturate the troops.

По всему Запорожскому фронту - карусель вражеских дронов. Думаю, на других фронтах то же самое. Вражеских дронов немерено. Заезжаешь в прифронтовое село, будто попал в осиное гнездо - всё аж жужжит. У въезда в воздухе дежурят ФПВ-дроны противника. Попарно. Один сразу атакует, другой фиксирует поражение и атакует тех, кто спешит на помощь пострадавшему.

На допросах пленные укры рассказывают, что во многих их воинских соединениях и подразделениях изменены штаты, и теперь чуть ли не в каждом пехотном взводе есть отделения операторов дронов. Похоже на правду.

Вчера враг атаковал соседнее с нами подразделение. За полчаса прилетело 25 дронов-камикадзе, из них 14 преследовали одну БМП. Если для них цена цели выше потери двух десятков ФПВ-дронов, они их не жалеют. И они у них есть в избытке.

Ротация на позициях становится непростой задачей, мягко говоря. Пользуемся непогодой, но с приходом холодов она здесь редкость. Подлое солнце светит неумолимо. Короче, надо реагировать на эту новую действительность, оперативно вырабатывать технический ответ.

А ответ должен быть такой:
1) нужны повсеместно блокираторы ФПВ-дронов, в том числе для защиты колонн в движении. Мы уже об этом полгода говорим;
2) должны быть в избытке собственные FPV-дроны. Во всех подразделениях и по всему фронту. Операторов мы оперативно обучим, но сами дроны необходимы как массовый расходный материал. Для их производства в количестве, соответствующем новым потребностям фронта, необходимо снять все бюрократические ограничения и проволочки и применить меры господдержки к производителям. Самих производителей должно быть много, а не только избранно-назначенные.

Вот что еще... Удивляют цены у перекупщиков /автор имеет ввиду МО? Если да, то уже был один патриот который написал про расстреливать/. Берут аж несколько концов с цены изделия. Достаточно сравнить с тем, что указано на AliExpress, и понять, наконец, что как правило мы имеем дело с преступными спекулянтами. Считаю, что за предоставление фронту изделий в три-четыре раза дороже (а то и больше) того, что они стоят по доставке, надо расстреливать.

/Дмитрий Рогозин/

PS Всячески поддерживаю то, что написал Дмитрий Рогозин. Вчера в Сводке писал о том же. Надо кардинально увеличить количество дронов и дроноводов, насытить войска.

US/UK have spent well over $100 million dollars on ineffective attacks on Yemen that have reduced the Houthi military capabilities by no more than 25 percent.

The Ansar Allah movement has retained three-quarters of its offensive abilities needed for further ship strikes in the Red Sea. The reason is the deployment of weapons on mobile platforms that can be easily moved and dispersed.

The publication also reports that U.S. intelligence agencies have spent very little time and resources in recent years gathering information on the location of the Houthis' air defenses, their command centers, ammunition depots, drone and missile storage and production facilities.

❗️📹 The latest anti-drone system "Saniya", designed to detect and suppress drone signals, was used by Russian tankers in the area of a special military operation.

In the video, the crew of the T-80 BVM tank destroyed a stronghold of Ukrainian forces near the village of Pervomayskoye in the Donetsk region. The anti-drone system "Saniya" was installed on the turret of the tank, which is designed to detect and suppress the signals of FPV drones.

As a member of the tank crew said, the complex creates a kind of protective dome that suppresses the communication signals of enemy drones near Russian combat vehicles.

My latest article for Sputnik International News. Interesting side note - last night, when I wrote this article, I noted that if (when) Zio-stan attacks Lebanon, the Haifa oil refinery, 20 miles from the Lebanese border, would be a tempting target and vulnerable attack. And guess what happened this morning? ⚡️💥🔥😉

Asymmetric Warfare: Why the Houthis Can Beat the Collective West

The Houthis might at first appear to be vastly outmatched by the US/UK armada that has struck Yemen, but militarily and economically, the US and Europe are actually much more vulnerable than the Houthis, according to Sputnik correspondent Russell Bentley (@TXDPR).

As of January 13th, after the US/UK attacks and their possible continuation, the International Association of Independent Tanker Owners (Intertanko), which represents almost 70 per cent of all internationally traded oil, gas and chemical tankers, said in an advisory to members to “stay well away” from the Bab al Mendab strait, and for vessels travelling south via the Suez Canal to pause north of Yemen. This major disruption of tanker traffic may well have an upward influence on oil prices, coming as it does right on the heels of Saudi Aramco's announcement of a $2 per barrel discount beginning in February.

The Houthis don't even have to shoot at any more ships - just the threat of the possibility of Houthi or coalition missiles being fired has been enough to disrupt Red Sea shipping traffic, which carries 12% of all global trade goods, and a staggering 30% of all container goods. It is actually the US/UK "coalition" that has escalated the situation to dangerous levels that now interfere with much more shipping, including tanker traffic.
