Russian Raptor-class patrol boats: what are they?
Forces of the Russian Caspian Flotilla have recently conducted counter-sabotage drills that involved the deployment of the new Raptor high-speed patrol boats.
The naval exercise conducted by the Caspian Flotilla was meant to test its ability to deal with enemy saboteurs that may target the flotilla’s ships.
During the exercise, elements of the flotilla’s counter-sabotage forces were deployed via Project 03160 Raptor patrol boats to neutralize and apprehend a team of “simulated enemy divers” and thwart their attempts to plant “explosives” on the Caspian Flotilla’s ships.

🇮🇱 How big is Israel's army?
The Israeli military said on Monday that it had called up 300,000 reservists within a couple of days to help it tackle Hamas, which staged an unprecedented attack against the state on October 7.
Tel Aviv has approved the call-up of an additional 60,000 army reservists, increasing the total number of those mobilized over the last three days to 360,000.
But what’s the size of the сurrent Israeli army?

Israel's Gaza Offensive May Turn Into Urban 'Meat Grinder’
Yuri Lyamin, military expert has drawn parallels between Israel's potential ground offensive and battles for Mariupol and Artemovsk (Bakhmut) – the latter lasted for 224 days.
🗣 "Gaza is larger than Artemovsk or even Mariupol with all these industrial facilities," the military expert said. "And most importantly, there is a much larger population [in the Gaza Strip]. In my opinion, there are about 2.5-3 million people living in Gaza now."
🗣 "I would compare [Gaza] with Mariupol, after all, for the reason that Artemovsk is a relatively small city, there are several tens of thousands of people there. In Mariupol, the population was under half a million. Closer to Mariupol, but again the density is higher," he continued.

What is the Gaza Strip now under Israel’s complete siege?
📌 The Gaza Strip, also known as Gaza, is a Palestinian exclave located on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea, Nestled between Israel, Egypt and the Mediterranean, the exclave has an area of about ten kilometers wide and 41 kilometers long.
📌 The area was named after its densely-populated capital of Gaza City.
📌 As a result of the coup carried out by the Islamist militant group Hamas in July 2007, the government institutions of the Palestinian Authority (PA) and the Gaza Strip came under the group’s authority.
📌 Most of the residents live in the north of the area, in particular in Gaza City. Sunni Muslims make up the predominant part of the population.
📌 In September 2005, Israel wrapped up the withdrawal of its troops from Gaza, and control of the area was transferred to the PA.
📌 Since 2007, the Gaza Strip has been governed by the militant group Hamas, which rejects the peace process with Israel.
