They Are Waking Up.

Many have been awake (and not in a "woke" kind of way) for a long time now. 

The messages on the wing of the airplane have not been accidental. The guys know. 

Meanwhile, scumbags and war criminals from British media now try to figure out this: Four ways Russia could hit back at Britain. They are delusional.  

When Vladimir Putin launched his onslaught against Ukraine in February 2022, he threatened any country daring to “stand in our way” with “consequences [that] will be such as you have never seen in your entire history”. Even before he uttered those words, Britain had stood in his path by openly supplying Ukraine with 2,000 anti-tank missiles. Once the invasion began, most of Europe was soon defying Putin by arming and funding Ukraine’s struggle. Britain led the way in providing steadily more advanced weaponry, progressing from AS90 self-propelled artillery to Challenger 2 tanks and Storm Shadow cruise missiles – and allowing Ukraine to use this firepower against targets in Russian territory. Now Britain is supplying many of the drones that Ukraine is launching at vital installations deep within Russia.

Well, without the US (and even with it) UK is a military and economic chihuahua capable of "supplying" some of the obsolete weaponry such as Challengers and Storm Shadows and then lie that they somehow have some impact. Yes, they do--they confirm that UK military is a backward obsolete joke. I am not using hyperbole here, we are looking at a collection of pompous morons capable only of terrorism and now facing some interesting dynamics with Lavrov stating that UK may become a direct party to the war. And while the two clowns from The Telegraph try to rationalize "four ways", they forget some critical things--Russia likely will choke off UK's shipping in Asia and if the UK would want to escalate (whatever that means--more terrorism I guess) here is what these cretins do not understand when they mention this "option":  Attack British facilities in Ukraine. 

Russia IS attacking "British facilities in Ukraine" and will continue to do so as well as hunting down British "advisers" and kill them. That's the reality of SMO to which UK as a nation is not prepared and fairy tales British propaganda tells its population cannot hide the fact that this is a peep-squeak of a country nowadays which desperately tries to relive halcyon days of its imperial grandeur. Well, judging by the latest events with Cambridge "professor" who was universally admired but turned out to be a fraud and then suicided himself--that's in a nutshell what British elites are. 

In related news. Russian Navy takes the latest project 09851 Khabarovsk nuclear sub, the carrier of Poseidon, to sea trials. 

To those who still cannot wrap their brains around it--Russia simultaneously builds several types of submarines: pr. 955A (Borei-class) SSBN, pr. 885M (Yasen-class) SSGN, pr. 09851 nuclear Poseidon carriers, pr. 677 Lada-class SSK. Plus modernization of other subs. And, the start by 2030 of the new class of advanced Laika (Husky) subs. Now ask yourself a question: can the US do this? Right. Meanwhile, Royal Navy cannot put to sea a single Astute-class sub. But yes, let them delude themselves. 

Garland and Yours Truly ...

 ... live in 30 minutes. 

If Anyone Wonders ...

 ... about consequences of arrival of Russian stand-off weapons to ArcerolMittal foundry in Krivoy Rog. Here are some "insights". 

You can see in the second video the portion of damaged furnace assembly (or however it is called--I am not a metallurgist).  

Something tells me that the arrivals will continue until the whole damn thing ceases to operate in any possible way. This is by far the largest steel production facility in 404 and it is not 404's, it is really a Soviet one. Communists built it and maintained. So, decommunization is in order. As you might understand, you cannot wage war without steel. Steel is in the foundation of modern civilization--this is the fact that boys from Palantir don't get. But then again, they, as well as Pentagon or CIA reside in the virtual world of computer code, gizmos and gadgets whose utility is at best questionable. Just look at the US armed forces with all those concepts in SMO and Iran.   

Scott Ritter penned a good piece today on this AI fad. Strongly recommend you to read it. 

AI represents the greatest danger to the practitioner of modern warfare. It makes the user intellectually weak, as it encourages mental subordination to an algorithm, and as such a lack of flexibility when it comes to dropping existing mental models in favor of newly developed models. The OODA loop is most effective when wielded by a well-trained human mind capable of discerning patterns based upon adequate orientation to the task at hand. While one might believe that AI would be able to perform a similar function, this simply is not the case.

Elimination of the enemy's manufacturing base and personnel of its armed forces is the stepping stone in achieving political objectives of the war. Simple as ... 

Little Engines ...

 ... which will not be able to. 

The End Of ...

 ... ArcelorMittal Krivoy Rog--404's main metallurgical (foundry) plant. 

For now they merely "paused" production. Russia likely will make this pause permanent. A reminder about some guy saying this: "we haven't started anything yet." 

Well, It Is Not Wrong.

 And it is a cold hard truth. 

And if that hasn't been enough, get this from Bild)))

NATO is preparing for a possible attack by Russia in the Baltic States with a new land war concept. There are detailed plans on how to stop rocket fire, stop Putin's troops at the border and weaken supply routes deep in Russia. Drones, autonomous combat zones and special forces operations play a key role in this.

Here is a gist of those strategies. 

According to the publication, the plan to counter Russia consists of three main strategies. It is noted that Major Andrew Pingree of the U.S. Army played a leading role in developing the concept. 

▪️ According to the first point, NATO intends to stop Russian missile strikes. To achieve this, NATO's fighter jets, missiles, and drones will need to destroy Russian missile complexes. One of the targets will be Kaliningrad, where a large number of air defense systems are located.

▪️ According to the second point, an "autonomous zone" is planned to be created along the borders with Russia and Belarus, which should serve as a protective barrier. Within this zone, only drones and unmanned military vehicles will operate against Russian forces. No NATO personnel are planned to be stationed there.

▪️ In the third phase, NATO intends to strike targets within Russia itself. To do this, special forces will need to destroy important military and logistical facilities. These include airfields, defense industry enterprises, bridges, and railways used by Russia to transport troops and equipment to the front.

The publication also notes that NATO intends to try to destabilize the situation directly within Russia.

This is a fucking circus. And don't give me this shit that Bild is a tabloid, every mainstream media in the West is tabloid. 

Joe Kent Doesn't Understand ...

... the subject matter--expected from a guy whose "knowledge" of Russia is that of, indeed, warrant officer who never saw anything beyond counterinsurgency (yes, he tragically lost his wife to suicide bomber) and degree in "strategic studies and defense analysis" ONLINE from Norwich University, that is the degree mill for NCO level guys from special forces. 

The gap becomes immediately obvious. Same one-liners, same platitudes which distinguish US military-intel personnel whose ideas about war and warfare are that of the expeditionary force whose main task is regime change in third world shitholes. You cannot bridge this gap, especially when clueless Joe Kent speaks about "Putin".
