We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Front #Summary for 26 Jan 2024 by 19:14⚡️
🔹In #Kherson Direction, a real drone war is unfolding near #Krynki. Russia is actively using Lancets, an effective solution for counterbattery warfare. Some of the best drone operators are working on the #Kherson front, and the enemy is on a real hunt for them. Today our MLRS worked powerfully on the AFU positions on the left bank.
The AFU are sitting in basements, some are surrendering.
🔹In the #Zaporozhye Direction, positional battles, and our forces are increasing their initiative. The tactics of small AFU groups remain ineffective. However, in some places the AFU has an advantage in artillery, speaking of "shell shortage", but they often produce more than ours. Their heavy "Baba Yaga" drones bombers also create a lot of problems for us.
🔹In #SouthDonetsk Direction, near #Vremyevka, our forces repelled an AFU attack in the forest belt and are disrupting rotations near #Staromayorskoye. Our artillery is working very closely at the #Donetsk border. Near #Novomikhaylovka, south of #Konstantinovka and north of #Vladimirovka, 12 AFU strongholds have been suppressed, but our troops are in no hurry to go in. The AFU are shelling their former positions to prevent our army from advancing.
🔹In #Donetsk Direction. our units, who have penetrated the AFU urban defence in the south of #Avdeyevka, have not yet managed to dislodge the AFU from an important area near the tram ring. The enemy is expectedly counterattacking. However, the AFU cannot turn the situation around. Our forces are more focused on holding their positions than on advancing towards the Khimik microdistrict. This is a high-rise development, an assault head on is fraught with heavy losses, so ours are carrying out a powerful artillery preparation. From #Avdeeevka there is a glow at night. They are gradually moving towards the Goluboye (Blue) Lake.
🔹In #Bakhmut Direction, in #Bogdanovka, our drone pilots hit several buildings where the AFU was located during the day. (⚠️Rybar reported a temporary retreat from the centre to the northern part) The assault on the heights beyond #Kleshcheyevka and the offensive from #Khromovo towards #Ivanovskoye (#Krasnoye) continues (⚠️with success, reaching its border).
🔹In #Svatovo Direction, on the #Seversk front, intensive fighting is going on south of #Belogorovka, ours have occupied the grey zone along the right bank of the #Seversky Donets, the AFU have withdrawn to #Grigorovka. Soon, our army will cut the supply between both villages, and then the AFU will be forced to withdraw from #Belogorovka. Now our forces are hitting with artillery and FPV on the ground, and the assault infantry is active in the underground tunnels of the industrial zone, using light infantry flamethrowers. From #Kupyansk sector, it is reported about the crisis in the AFU ammo supply. From the data that our scouts have received, it follows that personnel losses are up to 60%, and in some places there is no supply at all. This is the result of the work of our aviation and artillery. The front is generally standing.
☠️On 24 January, the AFU hit a drone operators' training ground in the #DPR with HIMARS, as has become known. Near #Ilovaysk "Sudoplatov" took from cadets an exam on FPV-drone control. More than 20 people are reported dead. A great loss.

⚡️🇺🇸 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
