Russian ballistic missile components retrieved from a 2024 strike in Dnipro show that the weapon, known as “Oreshnik” (or “Kedr”), relies on outdated technology, including Soviet-era vacuum tubes and mechanical gyroscopes.

New high-quality photos of the Tempest short-range air defense “buggy” in service with the Ukrainian Air Force have appeared.

I think Ukraine could rehome them with adequate sized enclosures and enough space for them to forage. Why not?

“Sweden has gifted Ukraine 26 Archer self-propelled howitzers. Ukrainian forces, including the 45th Artillery Brigade, have highly praised the system for its exceptional effectiveness against Russian positions at distances of up to 50 km. However, intensive use of the Archers has led to rapid barrel wear, prompting the delivery of more than in mid-2025,” the Embassy wrote on X.

“Over the last month of the year (December 2025, – ed.), the enemy lost more than 10,000 personnel in the south overall, about 70% of them specifically in Huliaipole,” he noted.

The Kremlin likely targeted the westernmost part of Ukraine with an Oreshnik missile to deter Europe and the United States from providing security guarantees to Ukraine.

Kyiv’s mayor made an unprecedented call to residents to seek temporary refuge outside the Ukrainian capital after a Russian aerial barrage triggered widespread shortages amid frigid temperatures.

As of the time of publication, heating was knocked out in about 6,000 apartment buildings across Kyiv — nearly half of the city’s total — following the Russian attack overnight, according to the mayor.

A reminder that Pokrovsk still has yet to fall into Russian control even after all this time, weeks after Putin claimed it had been taken.

During the night of January 9, beginning at 19:30 on January 8, russia carried out a large-scale combined strike against Ukraine’s critical infrastructure, employing a mix of attack drones and missiles launched from both sea- and land-based platforms.

“As soon as Europeans realize that helping Ukraine succeed is the best way to protect all of Europe, then they can shift into a higher gear production of what Ukraine needs,” Hodges said. This includes air defense, long-range strike weapons, and ground force capabilities.

Mashovets noted that Russian forces have abandoned forming motorized rifle divisions according to prewar structures in favor of forming assault infantry- and light vehicle-heavy divisions that field limited armored fighting vehicles (AFVs) and trucks with minimal organic air defense, artillery, and logistics elements.[18]

Bridges aren’t exactly a new technology so often these kinds of vehicles are overlooked as being existentially crucial for armored maneuver.

[2025] was a year that in terms of the front line saw approximately the same changes as in 2024—and that means minimal. Russian territorial gains in Ukraine remained at less than 1 percent for the year, yet their casualties were enormous, so much so that maintaining present strength seems to be the best the Russians can do. This kind of strategy would, historically, be seen as a strategy of failure. It is doing little in the way of strategic damage to Ukraine, costing a great deal and gaining little territory. Yet the narrative, too much controlled by Washington, is that the Russian strategy is inexorably rolling to victory. That needs a reset.

Ukrainian Air Force pilots are now the most experienced fighter pilots in the world at shooting down cruise missiles and UAVs. And they’ve added Russian fighters to the long list of aircraft shot down by F-16 pilots. Ukraine has been flying F-16s in combat for well over a year now, with operational integration being worked out while drones buzz and missiles scream.

Like watching someone successfully punch a tidal wave in the face until it starts to slink back into the ocean.

We are now beginning to enter the stage of the war where Russia is unable to sustain a general offensive all the way up and down the frontline and must resort to terrorism to project fear and the illusion of unstoppable, corrupted power.
