Also a heads up: I won’t be posting much on Wednesday because I am getting my wisdom teeth removed. Any suggestions on making it not suck afterwards.

A few weeks before the invasion I saw a good amount of videos on Twitter of AN-2 biplanes flying around Crimea. My first thought was that they were possibly converting them into drones like Azerbaijan did in the 2020 NK war to draw out anti-air. But nothing ever came or it. Considering the amount of anti-air defenses in Ukraine currently, it wouldn’t be too bad of an idea because the past several days have seen some extensive aircraft losses by Russia to to SAMs and MANPADs.

Bit surprised by the lack of loitering munitions in this conflict, especially since their effectiveness was shown in Nagorno-Karabakh. Russia has its own LM systems such as the Zala Lancet, but none have been used. I also expected the US would send some switchblades to Ukraine as well.

Maxar is reporting that the 40km long Russian convoy outside Kyiv has largely dispersed or redeployed elsewhere. It has been stalled for days. All that equipment remains in the area, they just aren’t in a long convoy sitting doing nothing

Real Ghost of Kyiv? Someone spoofed the AN-225 “Mriya” flying circles over Kyiv with the call sign “FCKPUTIN.” The aircraft was destroyed at the Antonov Airport in Hostomel last week.

Kurdistan24 still doing broadcasts even though their studio was damaged by missile fire in Erbil.

Pro-Iranian sources claiming a “top secret Mossad spy base” hidden under the American consulate was destroyed. Make whatever you want from that lol.

The Kurdistan Health Ministry also reports no casualties at this time.

Keep in mind Israel carried out airstrikes in Damascus, Syria, recently that killed a few Iranian troops. Iranian backed militias have attacked American targets in Iraq in response to Israeli strikes before, so that may be a reason why they are going with the Mossad narrative.

1000000000% wrong lmao

Was just informed that March 11 was Qassem Soleimani’s birthday so that may also have a role in this

Maxar satellite image of Snake Island taken yesterday showing a Russian landing ship anchored off of it. Imagining also shows damage to the central buildings and several impact craters around the island, showing that the island was attacked, but , as we all know now, all the soldiers from the island were taken prisoner and were not killed by the bombardment.

Zelensky has stated that Ukraine will not join NATO, Instead saying “Kyiv needs new formats to interact with the West and separate security guarantees.” In regards to Russia’s demands that they say will stop the fighting, this is one of the biggest ones.

A source of mine involved with the transfer of Switchblades to Ukraine says that it’s 1000 units and not 100 as previously thought. From what we understand it will be 100 launching tubes + 10 drones per tube. Still unclear if it’s the 300 or 600s tho.

Purported footage of Russian loitering munitions being used against Ukrainian targets. Quality is too low to confirm exactly what type of drones they are.
