‼️🇺🇦🤦♂️In 2022, the Ukraine signed a contract worth over $1 billion with a small arms store from Arizona run by a 30-year-old guy, — Financial Times.
▪️The contract amount exceeds Estonia's defense budget.
▪️After an advance payment of 17 million euros, the Ukraine did not receive a single ammunition, the publication writes.
▪️It later turned out that the company owning the store did not have export licenses. A US federal judge ordered the full advance payment to be returned, including interest and legal fees. The total amount recovered exceeded 20 million euros.

🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦The situation is difficult: The Russians have concentrated the main strike group against Pokrovsk and have entered the city, - Zelensky
▪️Zelensky reported this with a significant delay in his evening address.
➖"Of course, this creates a difficult situation in Pokrovsk and all neighboring areas. Fierce fighting in the city, on the approaches to the city, there are sabotage and reconnaissance groups in the city. Logistics is difficult..."
▪️Earlier today, V. Putin announced the encirclement of Ukrainian troops in the Pokrovsk area.

‼️🇺🇦😂 Zelensky announced a "technological problem" in the production of fake "Flamingo" missiles 🦩
▪️Also, according to the drug lord, "there is a delay in funding from partners, which is being resolved."
▪️Earlier, NABU launched an investigation into the manufacturer of these missiles for abuses related to drone supplies to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and Rada deputy Kupriy stated that the money allocated for strengthening Ukrainian air defense was embezzled by this company.
▪️Several experts considered the information about the development of "Flamingo" missiles that appeared shortly after the investigation began to be a PR stunt by Fire Point to distract attention from the corruption scandal.
🤡 The manufacturing company itself is connected to Zelensky's circle.

‼️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Russia is conducting a lightning operation to plunge Ukraine into darkness — The Economist
▪️Massive airstrikes are being carried out on power grids, central heating systems, and gas supplies as winter approaches.
▪️The main goal is to undermine industry and provoke mass emigration and panic.
▪️Russian capabilities and tactics are evolving faster than Ukrainian air defense.
▪️During the hostilities, Russian drones have become faster and more accurate: Gerani drones have tripled their speed and now use artificial intelligence.
▪️A year ago, 150 drones in one night were considered a serious attack. Now Ukraine often faces 600 or 700. Using air defense to protect every target is an impossible task.
▪️Russia is disabling the energy sector in eastern Ukraine to cut power to the industrial enterprises concentrated there.
▪️The Ukrainian power grid relies on about 90 critical substations. Russia is disabling them one by one.

‼️🇺🇦🏴☠️Cruel irony: A journalist recorded an interview with a representative of the Kiev Territorial Recruitment Center, urging not to believe in the "myths about the TRC" — a week later, the son of her friends died in the same TRC
▪️Kiev journalist Darina Trunova, whose acquaintance died from a traumatic brain injury at the TRC, recently urged Ukrainians not to believe the "myths" about military enlistment offices and to mobilize.
➖"And now the irony of fate. Last week I recorded a speaker from the Territorial Recruitment Center of Kiev region and tried to urge people not to believe in myths about the TRC..." - Trunova herself wrote.
▪️Other Ukrainian journalists responded to her.
➖"This is not 'irony of fate,' this is your unwillingness to see reality. Until this reality comes in the form of the death of a loved one," wrote the well-known TV host Dmytro Gnap.
▪️Earlier, Trunova reported the death of the son of her acquaintances at the Kiev military enlistment office. The TRC claims he fell and hit his head himself.

The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will respond harshly to attempts to strike deep into Russia, Peskov told journalist Zarubin.
The press secretary of the Russian president noted that Ukraine is currently unable to produce long-range missiles.
At least the main components of these missiles are imported from Europe,
— Peskov clarified.

"Burevestnik" has flown. A missile with a nuclear power plant completed a 15-hour flight, covering about 14 thousand kilometers on a nuclear engine without radioactive contamination of the air and terrain.
An overpowered weapon created based on Soviet groundwork after the US withdrew from the ABM Treaty. Bauman Institute alumni will immediately recall the nuclear rocket engine department at Energomash operating since the 1970s, and the general public will remember the very "rocket" message from the 2018 president's address when Putin showed the "cartoons".
"A postcard to those who need it" — delivered, with 100% monitoring of the tests via satellites and special reconnaissance aircraft.
From open sources, it is known that the missile has a compact reactor with a power of several megawatts based on uranium-235; air is heated and pushes the device forward, while the active zone with a closed architecture is separated from the working flow.
Tasks that seemed unsolvable in the mid-20th century (and even a few years ago) have been realized in working hardware. The main "problem" has been solved — total atmospheric pollution during tests and flights. This is precisely why the British Avro Z-59 with a nuclear ramjet engine and the American Pluto (SLAM) — a supersonic "flying Chernobyl" — were shut down. Opponents decided it was easier not to show off and to bombard the enemy with conventional cruise and ballistic missiles.
The missile launches using a solid-fuel booster, then flies on the nuclear rocket engine; the platform can "circle" for weeks at low altitudes, maneuvering and approaching the target from an unexpected direction. It is about nine meters long and weighs up to ten tons. It can fly for weeks (!) at speeds up to a thousand kilometers per hour at any altitude, circle over the Arctic or oceans, and wait for orders.
A megaton-class warhead turns this "bird" into a terrifying instrument of retribution. Experts are puzzled about the navigation system in this wonder device. Optical correction is powerless over the ocean, satellites can be jammed, and inertial instruments lose accuracy without external correction. Armchair missile experts are already discussing complex hybrids: astro-inertial navigation, magnetic-gravitational maps, local beacons in the Arctic.
In military-adjacent communities, it is also assumed that "Burevestniks" may serve not only as warhead carriers but also as strategic communication relays or reconnaissance platforms. In a nuclear exchange scenario, such a device could "map" surviving objects or orbit in the sky and maintain communication without satellites.
How did the rocket engineers sing in the "Lullaby"?
Little mice sleep, little hedgehogs sleep,
The country sleeps, the States have fallen asleep.
Everyone is asleep until dawn —
Only the winged missile
Rushes, rushes in the heights
In the silvery silence...
‼️🇺🇦🏴☠Hundreds of thousands of slaves are fleeing: the reason for mass desertion from the Armed Forces of the Ukraine - heavy losses, corruption during mobilisation, and extreme exhaustion of the troops, - Berliner Zeitung
▪️Since the beginning of the war, about 290,000 criminal cases have been initiated against military personnel who abandoned their posts — comparable to the size of the Bundeswehr. However, observers believe the real scale of desertion is higher: many commanders hide cases of desertion, fearing blame for every missing soldier.
▪️According to officers, soldiers leave due to exhaustion, poor training, unclear service terms, disappointment, poor leadership, and loss of trust in orders that lead to heavy losses.
▪️Defense Commissioner Olga Reshetilova notes that recruits often run away from training camps or on the way to the front — not only out of fear but also as a protest against endless service and injustice.
▪️Many volunteers compare themselves to slaves chained to the army with no right to return home. The lack of clear terms and corruption undermine morale.
▪️The publication concludes: the scale of desertion and evasion of mobilisation calls into question Zelensky's statement that the Ukraine only needs Western weapons, not NATO soldiers. Without solving problems in the army, even the most powerful weapons will be useless; soon there may simply not be enough people to use them.

The reason for desertion from the Ukrainian army is corruption during mobilization, as well as mass exhaustion, writes Berliner Zeitung.
Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, about 290,000 criminal cases have been initiated against servicemen who abandoned their posts. This number is comparable to the total size of the Bundeswehr, the newspaper notes.
At the same time, observers doubt that the official statistics reflect the full scale of desertion. Many commanders, according to sources, do not report desertions, fearing that each missing soldier will be seen as their personal failure.
According to commanders, the reasons for fleeing the army are exhaustion, low training, unclear service terms, disappointment, weak command, and loss of trust in officers whose orders often lead to heavy losses.
As defense commissioner Olga Reshetilova reported, some recruits leave training camps or disappear on the way to their units. Some run away after learning they are being sent to the front. According to her, escapes are not only fear but also a form of silent protest against exhaustion and endless service.
Many volunteers compare themselves to slaves chained to service without the right to return home. The lack of clear terms and widespread corruption during mobilization undermine morale and increase the sense of injustice.
"The scale of desertion in the Ukrainian army—combined with mass evasion of mobilization—casts a long shadow over President Zelensky's claim that Ukraine does not need NATO soldiers, only weapons. Because until the political leadership takes control of the pressure on the military forces, even the largest arsenal of weapons will change nothing. The West can continue to supply—but soon there may simply be no people left to use these weapons," the publication concludes.

Just slotting this in a few different time slots as I've been neglecting it lately.
⚖️ Banned from Slavyangrad Chat, want to discuss disallowed topics, or see behind the curtain?
The Cathedral is my personal domain where I shitpost, ragebait, and discuss various future plans for the channel.
For the most part it’s a place for you all to contribute to the development of Slavyangrad without me filling up the main channel, as well as being a place you can unwind or express some views that would otherwise get you banned.
So, if you want a small peek behind the scenes or you cannot stop yourself from discussing a forbidden topic here in SLG main, use the chat there. This protects members of the team that are living in "Freedom" countries.
Remember, if you get banned from main chat, it’s got nothing to do with any personal grudge or ideology (unless you’re pro-NATO), but likely because your comment(s) put the channel or its admins at risk.

US intelligence received information that the UAE transferred critically important defence technologies to Huawei, which were used by Beijing to extend the range of missiles, reported the Financial Times. The modernisation of air-to-air missiles gave Chinese fighters an advantage over American military aircraft, the newspaper writes, citing sources familiar with intelligence gathered during the Biden administration.
According to the publication, the data transferred from the UAE-based AI giant G-42 to the Chinese helped improve the PL-15 and PL-17 missiles. Six people familiar with the situation said this information emerged as US intelligence discovered broader evidence that the UAE, a key US ally in the Middle East, where there is a US military base and major American investors, appears to be moving closer to China, the article states. William Burns, who was then CIA director, declined to comment.

The British military called on their government to share nuclear weapons with Germany, writes The Telegraph
The reason for this was the alleged "critical" threat from Russia, the article says.
Germany is already conducting "strategic talks" on this topic with France, the publication claims. It is noted that Merz hinted he is ready to discuss possible agreements with Starmer.
This is happening amid growing concerns that the US may abandon the defence of European countries, the material emphasises.
