🇺🇸🇮🇱❌🇮🇷 — 📰 Bloomberg: US Sees Missile Strike on Israel By Iran, Proxies as Imminent

➡️ The US and its allies believe major missile or drone strikes by Iran or its proxies against military and government targets in Israel are imminent, in what would mark a significant widening of the six-month-old conflict, according to people familiar with the intelligence.

➡️ The potential assault, possibly using high-precision missiles, may happen in the coming days, the people said, requesting anonymity to discuss confidential matters. It is seen as more a matter of when, not if, one of the people said, based on assessments from US and Israeli intelligence.

➡️ Brent crude, the global benchmark, spiked more than 1% to trade above $90 a barrel following the news. Oil is up 16% this year, buoyed by war risk premium since the conflict in the Middle East began.

➡️ Iran has threatened to hit Israel in retaliation for an attack on a diplomatic compound in the Syrian capital of Damascus last week that killed senior Iranian military officials. Israel has not explicitly acknowledged it was behind that attack, though it has traditionally followed a policy of ambiguity on operations in Syria, Lebanon and elsewhere.

➡️ Israel’s Western allies have been told Israeli government and military facilities may be targeted but civilian facilities are not expected to be, they said. US officials are helping Israel on planning and sharing intelligence assessments, the people said. Israel has told allies it is waiting for this attack to take place before launching another ground offensive against Hamas in Rafah in Gaza, though it’s not clear how soon that operation may begin.

🇷🇺✅Russian Central Bank Chief: Mass Adoption of Digital Ruble Expected in 5 to 7 Years

https://news.bitcoin.com/russian-central-bank-chief-mass-adoption-of-digital-ruble-expected-in-5-to-7-years/

📖 🇺🇦 🇷🇺 While it's true that Russia is constantly rebuilding its forces and trying to replace losses, including recruiting new personnel and creating new units and military districts, the reality differs significantly from what appears on paper.

🔶️ Frontelligence Insight has closely monitored multiple Russian units and noted a problem that has become more apparent since 2023 and continues to worsen in 2024: armored losses are being replaced by civilian vehicles such as vans, pickup trucks, and other unarmored vehicles

🔶️ We documented evidence of the replacement of T-72 tanks of various modifications with T-62 and T-55s in at least one tank unit. While we don't know the situation across all units, occasional videos of T-55 and T-62 in different areas suggest that this is not an isolated case

🧐 According to Oryx, since the start of the invasion, the number of lost vehicles has surpassed 15,000, as of around 2024/03/24, including 2,856 tanks, 135 helicopters, 106 aircraft, and 20 ships. Russia cannot replace such numbers within two years, despite the Soviet legacy

🔶️ In fairness, Russia still maintains an advantage over Ukraine in terms of replacement and substitution, as Ukraine has received minimal replacements since 2023, and its domestic production, while improving significantly, still lags behind in meeting frontline needs.

🔶️ Despite suffering losses in land, naval, and aerial vehicles, Russia has seriously expanded its UAV arsenal, potentially one of the most numerous in the world, consisting of hundreds of thousands of tactical reconnaissance, suicide, and bomber drones.

🔶️ Yet, newly formed units don't get vehicles per their organizational structure, sometimes resembling rifle units more than motorized or mechanized units. Furthermore, during the Avdiivka battle, the newly formed 25th CAA had to transfer its equipment to the 2nd and 41st armies.

🔶️ Considering the above, Russian forces went through transformation, acquiring new UAV and EW capabilities as well as valuable experience, while also suffering tens of thousands of vehicle losses and the loss of experienced officers and soldiers.

🔶️ It will take Russia multiple years to rebuild its army. Moreover, given the experience in the invasion of Ukraine, its post-2022 forces, previously organized in BTG units, will look very different - the future size and composition will depend on the outcomes of the war.

💰 Bitcoin Difficulty and Hashrate Reach Record Highs as Halving Draws Closer

As of April 10, the difficulty of mining a block has intensified by 3.92% following the most recent adjustment. Concurrently, Bitcoin’s network hashrate also attained its highest level ever, as indicated by the seven-day simple moving average (SMA) metrics, which shows a peak of 641 exahash per second (EH/s). This uptick was due to block intervals shortening to less than 9 minutes on April 9, quicker than the typical 10-minute average.

🇫🇷🇷🇺 France buys more gas from Russia than any other EU country - Politico

France increased its purchase of Russian gas more than any other European country in the first quarter of 2024. More than 600 million euros worth of gas was imported during this period

The country's authorities say that the national energy company TotalEnergies' agreements with Moscow to buy gas were made long ago and are difficult to get out of.

"France is quietly stepping up payments for gas from Russia, while President Emmanuel Macron is loudly promoting himself as one of Ukraine's most ardent defenders," the article said.

🇺🇸⚡️🇪🇺 — 🏴 ZeroHedge | Where NATO Has An 'Enhanced Forward Presence' | April 10, 2024:

"On Monday, Germany sent an advance team of 20 soldiers to Lithuania, laying the groundwork for the recently discussed establishment of a permanent brigade in the NATO country.

According to Deutsche Welle reporting, the 5,000-strong strikeforce called Panzerbrigade 45 is said to become fully operational by 2027. The brigade will support the already existing so-called NATO Enhanced Forward Presence in the Baltic country, which, in contrast to Panzerbrigade 45, rotates its personnel regularly and was made up of soldiers from Germany, Belgium, Czechia, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway and the United States as of December 2023.

As Statista's Florian Zandt shows in the chart [above], Lithuania is one of eight nations with such a force that's, according to NATO itself, "defensive, proportionate, transparent and in line with the Alliance’s international commitments and obligations".
