    🇺🇦⚔️🇷🇺Today in the Bryansk region, in the village of Karachev, a large Russian ammunition depot was hit by an ATACMS missile; eyewitnesses observed powerful explosions and a secondary detonation. A missile threat was declared a few minutes before the strike.

    Ukraine used long-range ATACMS missiles for the first time to strike the canonical territory of the Russian Federation

    ☣️RUSSIA’S NEW NUCLEAR DOCTRINE: WHAT HAS CHANGED?

    President Vladimir Putin has authorized the country’s updated nuclear doctrine, bringing into force changes that he first announced in September. What are the updates about?

    The previous version singled out four situations in which the Russian head of state may decide on the use nuclear weapons: a ballistic missile attack on Russia; an attack on the country using weapons of mass destruction; an attack on Russian state or military facilities; and an aggression against Russia with the use of conventional weapons when “the very existence of the state is at risk.”

    Under the current doctrine, in addition to the aforementioned clauses, Russia can also press the red button if👇:

    🔴There is an attack with the use of conventional weapons against Russia and (or) Belarus as members of the Union State, which poses “a critical threat to their sovereignty and (or) territorial integrity” (“the very existence of the state is at risk” term has been omitted).

    🔴There is “reliable information about a mass launch of means for an aerospace attack” (strategic and tactical warplanes, cruise missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles, as well as hypersonic and other systems) and their crossing of Russia’s state border.

    Unlike the 2020 version, the new doctrine separately stipulates that Russia is authorized to use nuclear weapons if jointly attacked by “any non-nuclear state”, which is supported by a country possessing nukes.

    Additionally, the revised doctrine lists more threats that require counteraction through nuclear deterrence, among them the development of anti-ballistic missile systems, deployment of conventional weapon systems that can strike Russian territory, and potential sabotage plots to cause large-scale environmental disasters.

    Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has meanwhile stressed that changes to the doctrine were made in order to adapt “our vision of the use of nuclear weapons to the realities of the modern-day world.”

    Potential adversaries, criteria for use: Russia’s revised nuclear doctrine

    Russia will also engage in nuclear deterrence against those countries that offer their territory, maritime zones, airspace, and resources for aggression against it

    MOSCOW, November 19. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree ratifying the revised nuclear doctrine, titled "Foundations of State Policy on Nuclear Deterrence."

    The document has been officially published.

    According to Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov, the document will be scrutinized both domestically and internationally.

    TASS has compiled the key details of the doctrine.

    Key provisions

    According to the document, nuclear deterrence is aimed at "a potential adversary, which may encompass individual countries and military alliances (blocs, unions) that regard Russia as a potential enemy and possess nuclear and/or other weapons of mass destruction, or have substantial combat capabilities of general-purpose forces."

    Russia will also engage in nuclear deterrence against those countries that offer their territory, maritime zones, airspace, and resources for aggression against it.

    The president is the ultimate authority on the use of nuclear weapons.

    Aggression from any non-nuclear state, but with the involvement or backing of a nuclear state, will be considered a joint attack on Russia.

    Additionally, a nuclear response is deemed possible if there is a critical threat to Russia’s sovereignty, even from conventional weapons, including an attack on Belarus as part of the Union State, or a massive launch of warplanes, cruise missiles, drones, or other aircraft crossing the Russian border.

    Kremlin’s commentary

    The published document will undergo in-depth analysis both in Russia and abroad, Peskov stated.

    He explained that updating the doctrine was necessary to bring it into line with the current political landscape.

    The Kremlin official reaffirmed that Russia has consistently maintained a responsible position and taken necessary steps to mitigate the nuclear threat and prevent the worsening of international relations. He stressed that nuclear weapons are regarded by Russia solely as a last resort.

    Peskov emphasized that the potential adversary must understand the "inevitability of retribution" for any aggressive actions against Russia and its allies.

    Putin’s spokesman also noted that the updated doctrine envisions a possible nuclear response in the event that Ukraine uses Western non-nuclear projectiles against Russia.

Despite its size, comparable to the Orlan-30 reconnaissance drone, the Molniya-2 is designed as a fully operational FPV kamikaze drone with an extended range of up to 40 kilometers, similar to the Lancet loitering munition.

    Key Features of Molniya-2:

    •Launch Method: The drone is launched using a catapult system.

    •Payload: It carries a 3-kilogram cumulative charge for targeting enemy equipment and fortifications.

    •Design: Equipped with two electric motors on its wings; the front of the fuselage houses the explosive payload, unlike the Orlan-30.

    •Control System: Operated through FPV goggles and a joystick, enhancing real-time targeting.

    •Cost-Effectiveness: Considerably cheaper than other drones in its class.

    •Autonomous Features: Includes autopilot functionality with machine vision to navigate around enemy electronic warfare (EW) zones.

    •AI-Assisted Targeting: Ukrainian reports claim the drone can independently lock onto targets using AI, even in the presence of radio interference.

    The drone’s advanced technology allows it to track and destroy moving targets effectively. In one documented instance, a Molniya-2 drone was shown pursuing and neutralizing a Ukrainian truck towing artillery equipment. Its integration of machine vision and AI makes it a significant addition to the arsenal of Russian FPV kamikaze drones.

    🇩🇪⚔️🇷🇺 Germany is seriously preparing for war with Russia

    The Bundeswehr has stepped up the implementation of Operation Plan Germany. The classified strategic document includes the procedure for preparing the country in case of war with Russia, writes Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitun.

    For these purposes, military department officers provide consultations and training to enterprise management for the wartime period. In particular, at events of the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce and Industry, recommendations were voiced to train at least five additional truck drivers for every hundred employees.

    This measure is due to concerns of the German military about the unreliability of 70% of drivers in Germany, who are from Eastern European countries. It is recommended to draw up a plan for such workers, describing what to expect and how to treat such employees.

    In addition, it is recommended to engage in self-sufficiency in backup sources of electricity by purchasing diesel generators or wind power plants.

    The document also lists all structures and infrastructure that are particularly worthy of protection for military reasons.

    Earlier, in September 2024, Bundeswehr Colonel Kronstadt from the headquarters of the Joint Command NATO Joint Support and Enabling Command (JSEC) said it was working to create a " permanent corridor " across Europe to the borders of Russia and Belarus.

    Whatever figure comes after the puppet Scholz, the policy of confrontation (covert or open) will continue in the German state.

    Two majors

    Well, it's not really Ukraine receiving it, is it.

    It's the chumocracy on the Beltway, and London as well, washing it through there: that's some racket. And the expired 'Green Orc 404' (Zelensky) gets to take his cut, again. Satan's having a field day with this sucker.

    No wonder Ukrainians are p***ed off with this oik, and the Zio-Nazis propping him up.

    Ukraine fires several US-made longer-range missiles into Russia for the first time

    https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-war-1000-days-attack-06002c8c50bfb2fc622f446a8580bc0e


    Well, Biden didn't just start a slow process to get long-range missiles into Ukraine - they were already moved into Ukraine when Joe "Toddler with a Grenade" Biden spoke the words. I think its time for Russia to either take over Ukraine or take out all military infrastructure and communications infrastructure, totally neutering Ukraine so the USA/NATO can't do anything about it.
