Due to effective Ukrainian counter-battery fire, ruSSian artillery is increasingly forced to switch to more guerrilla-style tactics. This time, they have essentially reinvented the 9P132 Grad-P.
The system is called “Kozerog-1” (Capricorn-1). It is an artillery mount designed
1/

to fire rockets from the BM-21 Grad MLRS. It consists of 3 main parts:
- a platform with stabilizing LEGS
- HORNS for vertical elevation with a subframe
- and launch rails taken from the Grad — up to 6 can be mounted on the carriage.
When disassembled, the Kozerog reportedly
2/

fits easily into a Bukhanka. A 3 man crew can bring it into combat readiness in about 15mins.
The system can use the full range of rockets designed for the BM-21, incl. the 9M22U w/ a range of up to 20km. It features coarse vertical elevation mechanisms as well as handwheels

The USAF last days began a large-scale redeployment of aircraft and logistical assets toward the Middle East. Judging by the structure of the flight activity, this appears to be a planned reinforcement phase rather than scattered, unrelated movements.
Within a 24-hour period,

several aerial refueling aircraft—four KC-46 Pegasus tankers and one KC-135—departed from Homestead Air Reserve Base and Roosevelt Roads as part of CORONET East 035.
Notably, there is no formal confirmation of fighter aircraft being redeployed together with the tankers.However

the flight routes and callsigns suggest a possible accompanying transfer of Vermont Air National Guard F-35A fighters.
Against this backdrop, the intensified activity of U.S. Army heavy airlift aviation is even more telling. From Robert Gray Army Airfield (Fort Hood), home to

Butusov about the situation in Kupyansk:
"On Christmas, operations were underway in Kupiansk. 🇺🇦 soldiers are clearing the city house by house despite fierce enemy resistance.
Putin and Gerasimov—who claimed the city had been captured—are nowhere to be found. Putin even said

he would invite foreign journalists to Kupiansk, but he lied about that too: both russian generals and Zbloggers are afraid to come here.
ruSSian soldiers are hiding in basements like rats, avoiding open movement. Heavy,painstaking work is underway to locate and eliminate them
