We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Front #Summary for 12 Dec 2023 by 19:04⚡️
🔹In #Kherson Direction, it is reported from the field that our military have significantly strengthened their control over the piers and approaches to our coast. Our forces are striking boats carrying reserves and supplies to the AFU. Their numbers in #Krynki are inevitably decreasing. Localised daily battles at parity of forces also continue on the islands.
🔹In #Zaporozhye Direction, heavy rain and wind interfere with the work of artillery and drones. So there is relative calm at the front. Only at the #Verbovoye - #Novofyodorovka line our military repelled attacks by small AFU groups.
🔹In #SouthDonetsk Direction, our forces are gradually moving the front in the area of #Novomikhaylovka.
▪️ In #Maryinka, ours have advanced a little further near the #Maryinka Water Reservoir. However, the AFU presence in a small area in the northern part of the town remains.
🔹In #Donetsk Direction, on the southern #Avdeyevka flank, our units were able to enter the territory of the city itself north of the #Vinogradniki Gardening Community. It is still too early to say that we have managed to gain a foothold. Fierce fighting continues in the area of Kolosova Street. In the large settlement of #Pervomayskoye, our artillery continues to work heavily on the AFU positions. Ours are clearing the way for ground attacks from the west. On the northern flank without significant changes today. Combat work to squeeze the AFU in #Stepovoye, towards #Novokalinovo and #Ocheretino continues. In #Gorlovka, the AFU today attempted to advance north of the town. Our army repulsed the attack, and the enemy withdrew to its initial positions.
🔹In #Bakhmut Direction, on northern flank of the city, our army continues to advance near #Bogdanovka and north of #Khromovo (#Artyomovskoye). So far, we have not been able to recapture the positions near #Grigorovka yet, fighting is ongoing. North of #Soledar at #Vesyoloye, ours are moving more actively, fighting is going on. Judging by the progress, ours are planning to encircle the village. Southwest of #Bakhmut, our army is advancing in the area of #Krasnoye towards Chasov Yar. This is one of the AFU key locations in the entire direction.
🔹In #Svatovo Direction, fighting continues in the area of #Sinkovka, which can fairly be called counter fighting. So far, the Russian army has made no significant advances here. The fighting in the area of #Kupyansk direction has practically quietened down due to the weather.

⚡️🇺🇸 Some more things coming out for the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
Under the preliminary drafts of the bill, the USAF is requesting a release of $57,000,000 USD ($57.0 Million) to retire all remaining 162 A-10 Thunderbolt IIs in current service. Apart of the 2023 NDAA, there was a clause for a few million dollars to be released every so often to gradually retire the (then) 250 airframes by 2034; however due to the push by the Dept of Defense to ‘shed’ obsolete or obsolescent airframes that cannot be overhauled or upgraded further without a whole new airframe, it appears the USAF wants to retire all 162 remaining A-10s by the end of 2026.
The USAF plans to fully divest the 340-total remaining A-10s entirely, including those that currently serve in a handful of Air National Guard units in some states; which will be replaced by F-15EX Eagle IIs (like what is already happening with the Michigan State Air National Guard’s A-10s), or F-35A/Bs.

My older sister lives in the country in between Velma Oklahoma and Duncan Oklahoma near the Fuqua Lake area, this story was told by a rural mail delivery woman who delivers the mail in the country.
The incident happened while she was on her route, when she came upon to the mailbox a male Chinese nation came out brandishing a, AK-47 rifle being very hostile,
I don't know if he pointed it at her since it is against the law to do so but she was terrified and said she was never going back and that the location that had a guard tower. Was the sheriff department notified, I don't know, did she notify her supervisor, don't know. But word is from the country folk who live in the area they have seen the guard tower at the pot place;
I refuse to call it a farm because it is an insult to farmers.
And yes she was traumatized by that ordeal
