💥 RUSSIA OVERWHELMS UKRAINE WITH CHEAP AND EFEFCTIVE DRONE SWARMS — Reports

Ukraine fears Russia's plan to ramp up production of Geran-type drones to 6,000 per month, slashing costs from $200K (in 2022) to as low as $20K per unit, according to Ukrainian intelligence sources who spoke with CNN.

Meanwhile, intercepting Patriot missiles can cost up to $3M.

📊 Ukraine is unable to match Russia's production capabilities, CNN reports, as Russia launches as many as 700 drones per night.

🚨🤖 OpenAI eyes UK: $2.7B ChatGPT giveaway could tap gov’t data

UK Science and Tech Secretary Peter Kyle has been in talks with CEO Sam Altman about giving every British citizen free access to ChatGPT Plus, The Guardian reports.

The two reportedly floated the idea in San Francisco earlier this year, but the perk would come with a monster price tag of $2.7 billion.

In July, Kyle signed a memorandum of understanding geared towards integrating AI in UK public services.

Although the MoU isn’t binding, it could potentially let OpenAI weave itself deep into the state’s machinery — education, healthcare, justice, defense, and even security.

The UK wouldn’t be the first: OpenAI has already cut a similar deal with the UAE.

Considering Britain is one of its biggest markets, this looks like a strategic move by OpenAI to tighten its grip on yet another government.

🚨 West wants guilt for 1999 bombings erased by drawing Serbia into NATO

The West wants to draw Serbia into NATO, including to get rid of the responsibility for the 1999 bombings, Alexander Botsan-Kharchenko, Russian envoy to Belgrade, told Sputnik.

"We know their logic. Membership in the EU, membership in NATO — two things that come together, go inextricably," he said.


NATO's aggression against Yugoslavia was undertaken without the approval of the UNSC. NATO's bombings resulted in the deaths of over 2,500 people, including 87 children, and damages of $100 billion; doctors have also been registering the effects of depleted uranium, leading to an increase in cancer cases.

🇬🇧⚔️UK ramps up Ukraine training as Europe’s war hawks push ‘security guarantees’

The UK’s Interflex program has now been extended to at least 2026, Bloomberg reports.

◻️ Over 50,000 Ukrainian recruits have already received both combat and leadership training.

◻️ A further element of the plan involves a so-called US backstop, providing intelligence, border surveillance, weapons, and potentially air defenses, the outlet says.

Meanwhile, a UK and France-led “Coalition of the Willing” plans to station European forces in Ukraine as European war hawks push “security guarantees” tied to a potential peace deal.

Russia insists that any security guarantees for Ukraine must reference the 2022 Istanbul talks, and discussions about a security framework without Russia lead nowhere.

💸⚔️EU war hawks push on: Norway dumps $660M into Patriots for Ukraine air defenses

Norway is partnering up with Germany to fund two Patriot systems, including missiles, for the Ukraine regime.

The funding also covers radars from Hensoldt and Kongsberg’s air defense systems, Norway’s Defense Ministry says in a press statement.

While Russia and the US have been hashing out a potential roadmap to end the Ukraine conflict, these NATO hawks vow to keep military aid flowing to fuel the proxy war.

However, US-made Patriot air defenses are no silver bullet for Ukraine — and Russia’s arsenal has already exposed their weaknesses.

🇷🇺 Patriots are ineffective against Russia’s Iskander-M and Kinzhal hypersonic systems and the lethal combo of Geran dones + Kalibr missiles.
