Modern warfare. We need to be resilient and ready

It is fair.

Russian energy plants on fire while Russians make considerable gains in Donbas A wave of attack drones against Russian energy facilities took place, with Ukrainian forces making maximum use of their long range drone capabilities. Nevertheless, the Donbas main front has seen a significant reversal of Ukrainian fortunes, with Russia making significant progress in areas where attrition warfare was the order of the day. It remains to be seen whether this will be a cascading event and a collapse of that front or whether Ukraine will be able to stem the Russian advance, that now threaten areas and infrastructure of significant strategic value. #Ukraine #Russia #Donbas --- 📧 info@strategyinternational.org ➡️ https://lnkd.in/edfc8qPW 🗺️ 24 Minoos Street, Strovolos, CY-2042, Nicosia #strategyinternational #thinktank #policy #highlight

Brent prices have gained after #Ukraine launched a series of #drone attacks on Russian #oil facilities last week. Ukraine allegedly launched around 35 drones across #Russia over last weekend, coinciding with the final two days of Russia’s 2024 presidential #election, the Russian Ministry of Defence said in a statement.

⛽ When Russia ceases to be a Gas Station, how can they masquerade as a Nation? 💥 This morning, 6am local time, Russian oil refinery in Syzran, Samara region, was attacked by #drones On the video, a man mentions that “AVT-6 is done” and that “K-2 column is on fire” 📉 The capacity of the AVT-6 on the Syzran oil refinery is 6 million tons per year. That is about 70% of the capacity of the entire Syzran oil refinery 8.5 million tons of oil per year. Location of the Syzran oil refinery, which was attacked by drones this morning is 800km from the frontline: 📍 53.0800198, 48.3876223 Soft, flammable targets like refineries are a perfect match for the capabilities of these smallish drones developed by #Ukraine 🎯 Far better than the civilians Russia prefers to target with their Iran-made Shaheds. This will be disruptive if#Ukraine can maintain the tempo of these strikes. 💡 Perhaps Russia will go the way of the German Wehrmacht of WW2: utterly crippled once they lost access to russian oil (which Stalin was selling to them at the start of the war) #Intelligence #Osint #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦

Ongoing bombardment of Israel is continuing with the first wave nearly complete. First of the one hundred medium-range ballistic missiles are being intercepted right now, with the interceptions mostly occurring at high altitude with large diameter blast waves rocking the atmosphere. Second wave is expected within an hour or so, to include additional drones, ballistic rockets, and cruise missiles. United States and British warplanes scrambled to assist with interceptions. Israeli Dooms Day planes are already airborne. Many want Israel to go all in to attack Iran, but Western Allies are encouraging patience to ensure that no "too much" firepower is deployed to the point where a regional war cannot be controlled. I find this process of analyzing the situation, considering consequences of the actions, and then making a decision how best to act. This could be an effort to purposely trick Israel into a large scale war and Israel is trying to decide how best to respond with the least resources to maximize the lethal effects. https://lnkd.in/gvgUwtCF https://lnkd.in/gnbUhUjW Ward Carroll has interesting insight in how the command processes the intelligence. The Enforcer channel has the most up to date information, much better than most sources and offers live updates from local resources. What would you guys do in this situation, how would you respond, and what traps/tricks do you think are in play here? Iran likely will attempt to ensnare the IDF into overcommitting their forces while keeping face with their own Iranian public opinion. They have to attack Israel enough to make themselves look great, but not too much to risk too much damage in return. I think this current situation will provide insight into how an China induced Indo-Pacific conflict could kick off if their fishing fleet was attacked or their country somehow was embarrassed over the contested South China Sea

💥 Russia: Oil depot in Tsimlyansk blown up by #Ukraine drones around 4am and the fire rages on hours later. Rostov region. 💬 Russian authorities report that the drones were 'shot down' (lol, by the oil depot?) Local residents say that an explosion was heard around 4 a.m., a column of smoke rose above the territory of the oil depot. At least two oil tanks are on fire. The fire is still being put out. ⛽ Oil depots help fuel Moscow's war machine, and are thus valid #military targets. The Gas Station Nation's fuel revenue continues to go up in flames. ☝️ Like all of Russia's oil refineries and oil depots, the one at Tsimlyansk was isolated and undefended. And a long way from Ukraine. Moscow can't even defend itself 350 km from the front line. "An oil refinery a day keeps the invaders at bay." 📍 47.66687857216055, 42.04548954082824 #Intelligence #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦

Let us be clear about the west when it talks of the potential for escalation. 1) Russia escalates at a cost of more than 650,000 young Russian lives and is now banning contraception in a birth drive for more soldiers - indicating it is not going to stop this aggression. 2) Ukraine holds peace at huge cost of life protecting all Of Europe 3) The west watches and helps a little here and there when it could have closed the skies over ukraine and stopped the war by now and gained a new EU member In the end who will remain Aside from the human tragedy of all this destruction. Please also Remember ukraine holds 40% of the worlds known uranium. Do you want that resource in the hands of a regime that threatens nuclear war on Poland Finland Paris London Berlin and others every second day ? https://lnkd.in/ghAXhJv6

At PDW we’re proud to see our CEO, Ryan Gury, featured in Newsweek, offering valuable insights on the evolving role of drones in modern warfare, particularly following Ukraine's recent drone strike on a Russian oil refinery. As Ryan explained, “The short-range area defense that Russia has... are made for fast flying jets and missiles, not small slow flying UAVs.” This highlights the strategic advantage drones provide in targeting critical infrastructure like oil refineries, which are less protected but vital to military operations. Drones are revolutionizing the battlefield, demonstrating their ability to bypass traditional defenses and strike crucial resources across vast distances. At PDW, we’re committed to staying at the forefront of this technological evolution. https://okt.to/tfb4N9 #DroneTech #DefenseInnovation#sUAS
