I would like to think the US Army would be able to jam commercial drones, unlike the Russians.

Both sides have been using drone jammers.  Imo, Ukraine has had more success with them.

Poland has raised funds for a Bayraktar for Ukraine, got it for free and spent the money on two mobile repair stations and a mobile training camp

Poland raised PLN 22.5 million ($5.4 million USD) from over 220,000 people (around $24.5 USD per person)

Ukrainian hackers interrupted a live teleconference between Russia and Iran

They asked everyone to write their wills, because the SBU (Ukrainian Intelligence) is coming for everyone.

Most will probably not face consequences, but we live in hope.

Pro-invasion Russians tricked into committing arson on Russian military buildings and cars

QuoteThe Russian police detained Belova in August after she set fire to the trunk of a deputy army chief's car, per the independent Russian news outlet Shot.

"Azov is power!" Belova shouted as she threw the Molotovs

Quotean unknown person had called Belova and convinced her she would be enlisted in a "special operation."

The caller persuaded her to send them large sums of cash, then told her to carry out the arson attempt as part of her mission, the outlet wrote.

Upon her arrest, Belova told police she supported the war in Ukraine and would never have set fire to the car if she knew it belonged to a military commander, Baza reported.

This beggers belief.  I mean, who get scammed that bad??  Yikes!

Maybe they're faking being pro-invasion, cause otherwise, that's super duper dumb!

Ukrainian S-300 air defense:

Massive fire at Sevastopol oil depot

Russians say that no one was hurt and it won't hinder supplies to invading forces but that it was also the sort of attack that demands retribution and Odesa must be wiped from the map.  No big deal but simultaneously, a really big deal.  Curious.

If you try to leave, they literally throw you in a hole in the ground.

Proof that being smart about a few select things doesn't make you an intelligent person. The more this relic opens his mouth, the more I dislike him - esp. now that I know he's been defending communist genocide since Cambodia and Yugoslavia.

Germany confirms the transfer of the second IRIS-T air-air battery to Ukraine

Iirc, the Ukrainians were very impressed with the first one and it had an extremely impressive intercept rate.

Yep, I agree. I once thought he was spot on, but now his narrative appears almost chaotic.
