Orban is desperate to get a meeting with TACO, any meeting. But this is what he gets. Stick a fork in him.

What’s hilarious is that Orban’s numbers actually dropped after Trump endorsed him. Good job! xD

So..Little Rubio misses a meeting with European leaders to discuss Ukraine so that he can have a meeting about Ukraine with the guy who hates Ukraine and calls Europe a bigger enemy than Russia. Got it.

Not so fun fact, the organizers of the games were so unprepared for a Ukrainian to win gold that the ceremony was delayed for an hour. They initially hung the Ukrainian flag upside down and realized they didn't even have a recording of the national anthem. After Ukrainian team refusing offers to play the russian or soviet anthem instead (!!!), a Ukrainian team official had to rush back to the Olympic Village to retrieve a recording found in the bag of fellow skater Liudmyla Mykhailovska for the Ukrainian anthem to be played.

The last thing the Chinese want is a Russian recovery. They will stretch this party out until they own everything in Russia worth owning. Only when we see Chinese 'management' of everything, including the port of Kaliningrad, will we see the Chinese get serious about peace.

The revenue of the aircraft plant decreased by 3.8 times and amounted to 3.8 billion rubles. The cost of this decreased by 2.5 times - to 3.56 billion rubles. Gross profit fell almost 24 times, to 240 million rubles, and the result of the main activity was changed from profit to a loss: minus 1.24 billion rubles against plus 3 billion a year earlier.

At the same time, the accounts payable of the enterprise increased - from 24 billion to 27 billion rubles. Receivables, on the contrary, have almost halved - from 21 billion to 10 billion rubles.

Revenues decreased but payables increased? How does this happen? Oh...here's an example of Russian economics -

As previously reported by “Blockaktop Rostov”, through the court recovered from Tank Beriev damage to the soil of more than 66 million rubles.

The profits were there, they were just disappeared.

As to the Russian balloon comms... Under the chapter, 'Learn Something New Every Day', from the comment section - Always read the comments.

Balloons of [Google's] Project Loon float in the stratosphere at twenty kilometers altitude. In this layer is low turbulence and the wind speeds, between 8 and 32 km/h, are relatively low compared to other layers in the atmosphere.

The balloons move by switching between the wind currents in the stratosphere. They do this by rising or falling. By means of supercomputers with special software algorithms [Oh dear, I think we have spotted the problem], the balloons are controlled from the ground to determine at what height they should float. The wind data is provided by the NOAA.

To communicate with the balloons there are antennas on the ground that can connect to the balloons. Through this network, speeds similar to 3G can be achieved.

Termination

On January 22, 2021, Alastair Westgarth, CEO of Loon, announced that the program would be coming to an end. Producing the balloons would no longer be financially feasible.

---

Well, there are different financial demands for different circumstances. Google didn't end this program under circumstances of the catastrophic destruction of the entire corporation. So we may be entertained with Russki-loon for a bit longer.

On a more serious note, we may also see the capacity of the Chinese supercomputers. For a price of course. I'm sure they have already stolen the necessary algorithms...

Google's Project Loon

Sochi is the location of Putin's palace. I doubt that's the target but the stacked air defense units protecting it could be.

NATO's not ready for drone war, Estonia drills reveal brutal reality - WSJ

quote:

---

Last year, Estonia hosted large-scale Hedgehog-2025 drills involving more than 16,000 troops from 12 NATO member states. Ukrainian drone warfare specialists, including frontline soldiers, also took part.

---

quote:

---

During the maneuvers, Ukrainian forces used the “Delta” battlefield management system. The platform collects real-time intelligence, analyzes it using artificial intelligence, identifies targets, and coordinates strikes.

This enables a rapid “kill chain”: detect, transmit information, and strike within minutes.

A single Ukrainian team of about 10 people acting as the simulated enemy managed in half a day to imitate the destruction of 17 armored vehicles and conduct 30 additional strikes on other targets.

According to Aivar Hanniotti, who led the opposing unit of about 100 personnel, more than 30 drones operated in an area of less than 10 square kilometers. That is only half the drone density currently seen on Ukraine’s front line.

“There was no possibility to hide. We quite easily found cars and mechanized units, and we were able to take them out quite fast with strike drones,” Hanniotti said.

Overall, the simulated enemy was able to effectively “eliminate” two battalions in a single day, rendering them combat ineffective.

---

At the same time, according to Maria Lemberg of Aerorozvidka, many NATO members still show “a fundamental lack of understanding of the modern battlefield” and continue training troops using outdated manuals.

One commander, observing the simulation results, summed it up bluntly: “We are f*****.”

Another payday for the Kremlin..

Law enforcement officers arrested the former head of the FESCO transport group, Severilov, and the company's vice president, Ivanov. They are accused of embezzlement on a particularly large scale (Part 4 of Article 160 of the Criminal Code).

The FESCO group was owned by businessman Ziyavudin Magomedov and his brother Magomed until 2023. In early 2023, the Khamovnichesky Court of Moscow satisfied the Prosecutor General's claim to seize the group's shares as state revenue.

Fun fact: the Battle of Stalingrad lasted 199 days. The Battle of Pokrovsk has lasted +/- 574 days, which will soon be 3 times as long. The Nazi Germans lost +/- 500 tanks while the Nazi Russians have lost over 600 tanks in Pokrovsk, and they still can't take the town. Russia is weak and losing. It's only a matter of time before they collapse.

Apologies to Wee Wee, I just now see that he already posted this. Good enough for a repost, but with credit this time.
