The sharp dropoff in glide bomb strikes on Ukraine coincided with four events. A 🧵1/8

👉🏼Ukraine developed the capability to provide near nationwide GPS/GLONASS jamming and spoofing
👉🏼The US, UK, and France lifting restrictions on deep strikes within Russia's 1991 borders using allied-provided weapons
👉🏼The arrival of winter weather conditions
👉🏼Coupled with the targeting of key industrial alcohol plants in the Russian Federation 2/8
With almost 3 weeks of data showing a sharp decrease in sorties conducted by the VKS and the number of glide bombs being used daily falling to summer 2023 levels, a lot of people are asking, why?

The team considered several theories, and we caution you to avoid reaching a causation fallacy.

We pulled back the Ukrainian advance in the direction of Snagost because, after multiple Russian claims, there's no evidence.

Presidential Immunity

My wife was born, went to university, and started her career in a country where the government collapsed.

Years ago I asked her, what were the warning signs? What was going on in the months, weeks, and days before the government failed?

1/12 Her answer stunned me.

"Nothing."

You ate dinner, cleaned up, went to bed, woke up in the morning, and the news tells you the government failed.

No warning signs.

Nothing.

It just happened.

Yes, the news talked about the problems before, but collapse? Never.

The attempt to add amendments to HR 8035 exposed the pro-Putin Fifth Column in Congress. 12 congresspersons submitted 24 amendments that were based on or were pure Kremlin propaganda.

Say hello to the US House of Representatives Fifth Column.

🧵1/14 Image Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia led with 10 of the 24. She touched on almost every Kremlin talking point and submitted at least 13 additional amendments.

Nazis, Christian persecution, biolabs which not even the Kremlin pushes anymore, Transcarpatha, Zelenskyy legitimacy

Three questions.

1) Does the Geneva Conventions/International Humanitarian Law consider oil refineries a civilian target?

2) Does established US Military doctrine consider refineries civilian targets?

3) Has The Hague or the UN ever considered the question?

A 🧵 1/11 The @ICRC is the keeper of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and is assigned by the Geneva Conventions as the international watchdog. IHL is published online, with the doctrine of dozens of miliaries and previous case law. Here is the link.

The amount of disinformation circulating on TikTok about Israel-Hamas is astounding.

We're also seeing clear signs of paid disinformation campaigns that started between October 15 and 20 that are well-funded and sophisticated.

A very short 🧵

1/8 Troll farms and "oppositional marketing firms" will hack, create and store, and buy real social media accounts to use for their purposes. Yes, there is a secondary market for people who decide they don't want their Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc., and sell them.

A 🧵 about Rybar and the info they share.

Let's talk about the fall of Rybar as a semi-reliable information source for the Russia-Ukraine War.

And to be clear.

Friends! #NAFO! Countrymen! Lend me your ears! For I have come to bury Rybar, not to praise them.

1/12 Image First, who is behind Rybar? Mikhail Zvinchuk, "former" Russian Defense Ministry press service officer, and Denis Shchukin are the founders.

Both are believed to be tied to the FSB.

Rybar's operating budget is estimated to be $20K USD a month.

I read the news in the so-called Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republic so you don't have to. Local news is a combination of brain damaging Russian propaganda, the same type of new that happens in your home town, and sometimes military intelligence between the lines.

1/13 Tap water has always been an issue in the Donbas back to Soviet times. The region is surprisingly dry despite what you see on the map. When Russia started its war of aggression in 2014, the Siverskyi Donets-Donbas Canal was cut off.

I read the local news sources in the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republic, so you don't have to. Some of it is brain-damaging Russian propaganda. Some of it is what you would read in your local news. And some of it provides hidden military intelligence.

A shortish 🧵

1/7 Residents of the so-called Donetsk People's Republic are complaining as the price of gas/diesel is skyrocketing, and supply is tight. They don't have shortages, but a station might be out of fuel one day, then another the next.

The Ministry of Coal & Energy was interviewed.

The threat at Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant

Last week we sounded the alarm on Twitter and the daily Situation Report that while the overall chance of an intentional accident at ZNPP is low, current threats should be taken very seriously

1/21 ZNPP has 6 Soviet-era designed VVER-1000 nuclear reactors and is the largest nuclear power plant in Europe

It can produce 5700 MW of power, and the reactors were commissioned between 1985 and 1996, Reactor 6 is the newest

There is another impact of the collapse of the Kakhovka Dam - shipping - specifically cargo traffic on the Dnipro River

There are several benefits to moving cargo via boat on riverways versus trucks and trains, one big one, it's cheaper

1/7 Image In 2021, approximately 11 million tonnes of cargo was transported on the Dnipro River

The top three cargos were

1) Building materials
2) Grains
3) Metal and metal products

The issues of Russian sustainment, supply, and logistics are well documented

This is the KPTM-3 landmine dispenser used to remotely deploy a PTM-3 antitank mines

Russia is using these by the tens of thousands, but there is a new problem at the front

Batteries
