Will russia due to war in Iran earn enough to reverse the catastrophic trend of its economy?
Will russia due to war in Iran earn enough to reverse the catastrophic trend of its economy?
Correct, here is freshly my last text to this topic:
I think the money are missing in some sectors for quite a long time and predominantly in tech. evolution russia seems to be losing the race.
Russian propagandist Solovyov whines that drone makers were told to slash production because of severe funding shortages. "The front screams give us more, but there's no money," he said.
AFU is performing (yet) limited offensive operations, predominately in the western part of the front. Is it all happening just because shut-off of russian Starlinks? I don't think so...
Since Starlink has been deactivated for Russian forces in Ukraine the internet traffic has dropped by 75%.
Imagine that 3 out of 4 terminals were in Russian hands.

They were both still single...
This doesn't look like a good idea from Iran.
π¨ UKMTO WARNING 014-26: ATTACK
A tanker at anchor 30NM SE of Mubarak Al Kabeer, Kuwait, reports a large explosion on the port side.
Status: Vessel taking on water; oil leak detected.

Small craft seen fleeing.
Die Doktrine scheint aber trotz der UnterschΓ€tzung zu funktionieren:
They are fucked as expected.
Time for more kinetic sanctions. Sadly, the only really reliable helping hand for Ukraine is part of her own arm.
Yes and no. putin now short term will get a bit more money but more important are the long term consequences, which will be dependent on how the situation around Iran will evolve. So let's wait. On the other hand he is about to lose an important ally, who he basically betrayed (didn't help at all).
Did I said it? I did π€
They are true descendants of Potemkin and are painting a nice facade on a ruin.
Das Loch scheint perfekt dem zweiten der 4 internen Speicher zu entsprechen und weil inzwischen die restlichen 3 leer (ausgebrannt) sind, kann sie eigentlich in diesem Zustand nie sinken.

I found this one:
There are basically almost identical absolute (ignoring inflation) numbers compared to end of February 2025.
The US and Israeli operation against Iran has not yet affected the supply of PAC-3 missiles for Patriot air defense systems in Ukraine, but this could happen if hostilities continue, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told reporters.
In the same way as he authorized the detention of Maduro and the defeat of Assad?
What reason would they have for enriching over e.g. 20%?
It is, but the Iranians seem to make they homework too a are (at least partially) prepared. I hope the USAF and IAF will be able to soon lower their launching capacity to some more easily defendable level.
Erbil - US airbase in Iraq - the US seem to miss to prepare for drones - they clearly underestimated the associated risks. And at this pace I strongly hope they won't run out of AA ammunition against ballistic missiles - Iran seem to still have quite a few. Did they calculate properly?
Russian occupiers have obviously hit a major problem on the front. Reports say Ukrainian fighters started using nearly silent FPV drones with rubber blades that are impossible to hear until they strike.
Impressive
Russian Z-bloggers are also summing up the winter.
Russian bluff will get exposed.
Z-Blogger "Lostarmour" posted an infographic of electricity availability in Ukraine by region today.
They ae simply just getting more and more desperate π
It's actually a good news.
Most interesting conclusion from Trump's State of the Union speech--he is politically scared. He understands how unpopular he is and avoided attacking the Supreme Court and did not mention ICE (and barely mentioned immigration) at all.
Btw, a scared Trump is a dangerous Trump.
