I don't have the capacity or energy to dive into this right now but, due to the Greenland business, there are a lot of not so good takes, "analysis" and newly formed opinions on northern latitude security issues floating around.

Skepticism is very much required.

On 12 January 2025, Ukrainian @usf_army strike drones destroyed three Russian air-defense assets on the Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk axes:
•P-18 “Prima” radar
•Tor SAM system
•Tunguska SPAAG/SAM system

The strikes were conducted by the 412th Nemesis Brigade using middle-strike UAVs, hitting targets over 100 km behind the front line with warheads exceeding 10 kg.

These were the 9th, 10th, and 11th enemy radar and air-defense assets destroyed between 1–12 January

"But Venezuela was unable to maintain and operate the S-300 — one of the world’s most advanced antiaircraft systems — as well as the Buk defense systems, leaving its airspace vulnerable when the Pentagon launched Operation Absolute Resolve to capture Mr. Maduro, four current and former American officials said.

Beyond that, an analysis by The New York Times of photos, videos and satellite imagery found that some air defense components were still in storage, rather than operational, at the time of the attack.

Another video from Russia's Rubicon Center showing UAS strikes on oil storage; ships; P-18, Rada, and counterbattery radar; and other targets apparently with Italmas and FPV UAS at claimed ranges up to 160km.

@Maks_NAFO_FELLA: The MIRVs didn’t have warheads and randomly spread out over a 300 meter radius. Russia lies about everything. There is no evidence that the plant was disabled either from Ukrainian or Russian sources. Maybe some MIRVs did kinetic damage, due to chance, but not disabling the plant

@ukraine_map @Maks_NAFO_FELLA: During the 1st Oreshnik strike on Dnipro using MIRVs with no warheads, the MIRVs were not able to penetrate the rooftops of the factory causing no damage seen on subsequent satellite imagery.
