Once again, a Russian radar complex responsible for tracking aerial threats has been destroyed by an aerial threat.  Three attack drones were used to destroy a Nevo SVU radar system in Kherson, the third one of this type to be blasted in the war.  Russia advertises these as "being able to locate aircraft and other flying objects with 0.1 m2 radar cross-section at a distance of 100 km".  If I had recently purchased a "state of the art" Russian defense system, I'd be asking for my money back.

Better keep it, money return would be in fast depreciating rubles.

Yes. Probably more cost effective to use it to hang my washing on.

Dozens Of Israeli Patriot Missiles Sent To Ukraine

 

The U.S. military is providing Ukraine with around 90 interceptors for the Patriot air defense system, taking these from Israeli stocks, according to a recent report. The development, the implications of which we addressed in detail in the past, comes as Israel mulls whether to approve the transfer of significant quantities of Soviet- and Russian-made weapons to Ukraine that were seized from Hezbollah militants in recent operations.

This is how they cripple the invaders, keep hammering away at the oil infrastructure

Sanctions are slow and need everyone to co-operate.

Blowing up the refinery's and pipelines has an instant effect

and this is the response. Considering the war is reaching it's end, seems a shame to get more Ukrainian civilians killed.

Nine people were reportedly killed and 13 others injured including a child when a Russian drone hit a multistorey apartment building in northeastern Ukraine’s Sumy city, the region’s Governor Volodymyr Artyukh said.

KYIV, Jan 31 (Reuters) - Russian forces are slowly tightening the noose around the eastern Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk, a key logistical hub whose main supply lines are under threat nearly three years after Moscow invaded its neighbour.

That’s right. It seems like towns and villages are falling under Russian control almost on a daily basis. Budanov reportedly said that by the summer, if things go on as they are now, Ukraine would effectively be finished. 
 

Latest news of course is that certain EU nations are planning to resume purchases of Russian oil and gas. They are even talking about repairing and reopening Nordstream as energy prices are really hurting their economies. Who would’ve guessed lol.
