Frontline soldiers are preparing for the New Year

Mandatory holiday attributes: a decorated Christmas tree, a good mood and, of course, gifts. The most important are the cards made by children.

“These letters make me feel very warm. Very nice! Psychological support. Well, an understanding arises of why we are fighting, why we are here. That is, this is our future, the future of our children,” the fighters shared.

The guys also talked about their plans for 2024.

The government will finance preferential leasing of civilian drones

🕹In 2024, a preferential leasing program for domestically produced drones will be launched. The order to allocate 2.5 billion rubles for these purposes was signed by Mikhail Mishustin.

✅Budget investments will be directed to State Transport Leasing Company JSC on co-financing terms. JSC State Transport Leasing Company, in turn, will raise another 600 million rubles to launch the program.

Taking this into account, the program will operate under the following conditions:
・The leasing rate, depending on the selected types of drones, will range from 3.5 to 8.5% per annum.
・Contract term – from 3 to 5 years.
・No advance payments will be required from the leasing companies.

❗️The work is being carried out as part of the execution of the President’s instructions, as well as to implement the Strategy for the Development of Unmanned Aviation for the period up to 2030 and for the future up to 2035.

The news channel of Polish state television has not worked for the second day due to a dispute between the authorities and the opposition over control over it.

Polish President Duda, in a letter to the new Prime Minister Tusk, called the Cabinet's attempt to change the leadership of TV a violation of the constitution.

Duda called on Tusk and his government to respect the Polish legal order and noted that a political goal cannot serve as an excuse for violating it.

The Polish TV news channel shows films instead of news. All this comes as the new government attempts to change the leadership of state media.

"We must be prepared to go on the offensive: launch offensive strikes against targets on shore, perhaps using Tomahawk missiles and attack aircraft from the aircraft carrier USS Eisenhower, which is currently patrolling the Gulf of Oman. Such strikes would be legal under the law of war and should be proportional, that is, according to the Houthi infrastructure in the south of the Arabian Peninsula.

If this does not have a calming effect on Houthi activity, it would be entirely appropriate to strike at sponsor Iran - especially its maritime infrastructure in the northern Indian Ocean and Persian Gulf. "

Plans for Operation Guardian of Prosperity have become known, according to which strikes are planned not only against Yemen, but also against Iran, at least in the next stage of the operation.

Germany's Focus magazine publishes an interesting piece from ret-Colonel Ralph Thiele and is now Chairman of Eurodefense. Note the Ukrainian losses.

- Step by step, Russian superiority in the war against Ukraine is now becoming more noticeable and visible. Regardless of whether it concerns personnel, material, ammunition or morale - Vladimir Putin's war of attrition is having its effect.

- Little by little, Russian superiority is becoming more noticeable and visible. The increase in Russian drone, missile and ground attacks corresponds to territorial gains. In contrast, Ukraine is acting predominantly defensively along the entire front. Counteroffensive was yesterday. Moscow is becoming more confident. Kiev and its Western supporters are becoming less secure. Vladimir Putin's war of attrition is having an impact.

- There is also significant wear and tear on Ukrainian personnel and materials. Western weapon systems are not miracle weapons and are worn out. On average, there are daily losses of around 800 soldiers. This means that more than 20,000 soldiers have to be recruited every month to replace the dead and wounded.

- In view of Russian attacks on armed forces and important infrastructure with cruise missiles, ballistic missiles and drones, the already scarce ammunition for Ukrainian air defense is shrinking. The Ukrainian air defense's ammunition is exhausted. Russian missiles and drones could soon penetrate unhindered through the foreseeable gaps.

- Meanwhile, the engine of the Russian war economy is humming. Tanks, drones, ammunition come off the assembly line. What cannot be produced ourselves comes from partners such as Iran or North Korea. Modern components come from high-tech manufacturing in the global south, which is also grateful for the steady flow of inexpensive Russian raw materials.

- Experiences from the front, including from cyberspace, outer space or electronic warfare (EloKa), are being implemented innovatively and rapidly and are put into use immediately. The Russian EloKa in particular is a match winner. It makes the modern Western precision systems used by Ukraine inaccurate, causes their drones to crash and serves as a professional preparation for attacks.

- Apparently the Russians are also learning from the war. They learn quite quickly, especially in the context of new technologies such as drones, artificial intelligence, cyber, electronics and space.

"With God blessing! I authorize": Vladimir Putin took part online in the opening ceremony of the M-12 "East" highway to Kazan

The route from Moscow to Kazan along the new toll highway should be reduced to almost a widow's length. If previously the journey took about 12 hours due to the heavy congestion of the M7 highway and numerous intersections and traffic lights, now the planned travel time is 6.5 hours. The permitted speed is up to 110 kilometers per hour with the prospect of increasing in some areas to 120-140 kilometers per hour.

What the Russian President said at the opening ceremony of the route:

❗️ We are ready to build with high quality, faster and more, we need to increase the pace, the construction complex is ready for this;

❗️ In regions including Donbass and Novorossiya, more than 188 million square meters of asphalt concrete were laid;

❗️ These are record volumes and contribution to improving the quality of life of people;

❗️ Reliable transport arteries are of fundamental strategic importance for Russia.

The German authorities have always been a “thieving people,” said Sergei Lavrov.

The minister responded this way to the request of the Federal Prosecutor General's Office to the court to seize Russian assets.

“Thieving used to be in this, you know, political sense, in the sense of refusing agreements, in the sense of trying to deceive someone. But now he’s thieving in the literal sense,” he said.
