I don’t think so, and now your dream about Omsk came true 😀

Last untouched, right?

Putin will very soon try a fake ceasefire because he needs a water break.

When that happens, Europe MUST stand strong.

We know for sure that Europe still does not have anti-drone capability – for me, that is indisputable. It’s on the way but we do not have it YET.

RU can operate around 10k FPV drones per day and about 500 Gerans/2 days approximately.

Their missiles can handle 100 in one operation but, as you say, they don’t have too many.

How many do they have?

Ukraine fights Grau arsenals now and then, it’s hard to predict.

What we know is that China has built up Russia’s production lines since 2023. Last time I checked they had about 2000 in stockpiles –

New missile production, +800 Iskander/year

120/year Zircon which are supposed to be tricky although a ship missile?

The rest of the missiles are produced at a rate of 1500-2000/year.

—

The USA is holding back, if the Iran war was a sham operation to drain US stockpiles, conspiracy theorists discuss, but the fact is that 1700 Patriots are used up and the USA has an acute shortage.

Patriot 300/year.

We have to buy NASAMS.

SamPT – 100/year.

—

How many do we have in stockpiles, not very many I guess because we are stingy with Ukraine now, they get nothing.

—

Digging deeper – we are per doctrine and choice reactive, right?

Finland is, as far as I know, the only country that has stated they will fight proactively?

—

In the Baltics, my favorite area right now, there are 2-3-4 heavy air defense systems depending on the day of the week apparently.

Ukraine has “dozens”…

So there is almost no ground-based defense at all in the Baltics against missiles.

—

Since we have not yet been at war, it is not unreasonable that we have not yet understood how vulnerable large weapons platforms are to drone weapons. The Baltics are not very wide and RU knows very well that they defend the capitals which makes the area even smaller.

They are more vulnerable today than four years ago and one needs to understand how to protect them the hard way.

—

We have our air forces in the rest of Europe that hopefully can shoot down missiles?

—

The drone weapon is an acute weakness for us that we have perhaps worked away over two years, it is new and there is an explanation why.

Not having adequate protection against missiles is indefensible and direct negligence, Cold War weapons that we have built an entire arms industry to defend against.

—

I did NOT see this coming, I thought Europe had started manufacturing in large quantities when Trump came to power because it did not take long before it was clear what he was up to.

Now Ukraine asks us for interceptors from our emergency stockpiles because new production is not until 2027 for delivery.

Then we have to add another piece to the puzzle where Europe is weak when we should be strong.

—

The risk is not so much the Baltics as that Russia can threaten with something whenever they want a ceasefire and frozen fronts sometime in the future if not longer.

The answers to all my posts are always that Europe has enormous retaliatory capability but whenever you start digging a bit it looks like this – pure negligence.

Rheinmetall says that Merkel was the devil herself and tried to disarm but now it is 2026 and there has been full war since 2022.

Ukraine has attacked Russia’s largest oil refinery in Omsk, nearly 250 miles from the country’s border, according to the Ukrainian military on Facebook.
A fire has broken out at the refinery, but it is still unclear how much damage the attack has caused.
Ukrainian Pravda writes that this is the first time the facility has been hit by Ukrainian drones. It is also reported to be the deepest attack carried out on Russian territory since the war broke out.
Repeated Ukrainian attacks on Russia’s energy facilities have led to a severe fuel crisis in the country. Ukraine is said to have struck refineries at least 194 times so far this year, according to the Financial Times.

Bitterly, we should protect the embassy, as we would like to have the same protection in ryz.

The problem with FIFA is that the system is rigged in a similar way to the UN, one country one vote. However, here we have no veto rights, but that in itself fosters a pure corruption structure. Countries with lacking, or completely absent, democracy are in the majority and they like Infantino’s leadership style.

It is VERY suspicious.
Japan has, after all, started delivering license-built Patriot missiles, or did they get a no from the USA?

Red cards don’t apply when corrupt FIFA and the USA’s most corrupt president pull in the same direction. UEFA doesn’t seem satisfied, and having seen what happened, one must say it is deplorable.

Go Belgium! 😂

“FIFA’s lifting of the suspension against the USA’s attacking star Folarin Balogun ‘is unprecedented’ and ‘incomprehensible and indefensible.’ This is stated by the European football organization UEFA in a press release. They further argue that football is based on its rules and that the decision threatens ‘the integrity of the game.’ FIFA’s decision has received harsh criticism from all corners of the football world – including former star Wayne Rooney and the demon coach Jürgen Klopp. According to several media outlets, it was Donald Trump who got FIFA’s president Gianni Infantino to lift the suspension.”

“Meanwhile in Russia: head of RT Margarita Simonyan was sent out on a charm offensive to butter up China and went all-out. She named her favorite Chinese delicacies, praised her Chinese shoes from Alibaba, and predicted that China will rule the world.”
