Officer, Swedish Armed Forces. I mostly tweet about security issues. Opinions expressed often my own. Cynic. Extremism in the defence of Democracy is no vice.

A drop in Russian casualties over the last 24 hours, but a notable increase in equipment losses for the invaders.

Over 1700 drones (all types), 58 artillery systems and almost 200 vehicles have been taken out, but just 870 soldiers no longer able to harm Ukraine.

Ukrainian FPV drones destroy about 60 russian military personnel in the Pokrovs’k direction.

Ukrainian defenders are killing russian invaders at a pace greater than the replacement rate. They’ve set a target of eliminating 50,000 foreign occupiers a month – mostly using drones.

Russia Liquidates 71% of Its Gold Reserves to Finance War Effort—And the Sell-Off Isn’t Over Data reveal a 71% drop in Russia's National Wealth Fund gold holdings since mid-2022, as the Kremlin relies on gold to fund its operations.

Russia may have suffered over a million killed or wounded in Ukraine, seen Finland and Sweden join NATO and it occupies less of Ukraine than it did in April 2022, but at least they’ve been forced to sell off 71 % of their gold reserves.

Putin remains a strategic genius.

This is what the regime’s IRGC and Basij thugs are doing to unarmed protesters. These aren’t isolated clashes, this is a sustained crackdown using violence against civilians demanding change. What you’re seeing is one center, in Tehran, but similar brutality has been reported across the country.

The regime likely determined that the current protest movement represents an extremely dire security threat and the regime has intensified its crackdown, including by taking the rare step of using IRGC Ground Forces to suppress protests in at least one province 1/7

The Iranian regime has cut off internet connection, so expect that far more is going on inside the country than we see right now. Though what still reaches us, is unprecedented.

Been offline as I’ve had a kid, it’s the Christmas period, and there’s stuff to do.
Hence, it was a while since I saw the Russian daily losses.
The numbers are utterly mind boggling. Never forget what a complete strategic failure Russias invasion of Ukraine was and is.
