Before the submarine came the aircraft.
The SBU struck a Russian Il-38N maritime reconnaissance plane at Yeysk air base.
The aircraft was used against naval drones and cost about $24 million.
This was system-level warfare, not a single hit.

1/ The New York Times reports that Trump plans to name an entire new class of US Navy warships after himself. If so, this will break genuinely new ground in a level of state-sponsored sycophancy never seen before in global naval history.

Russia is selling oil at $34, gutting budget revenues. Deficits are funded by massive bond issuance, draining bank liquidity forcing permanent central bank support. Deposits are leaving, defaults & restructurings are rising, real spending is falling, civilian output is shrinking.

🚨The Kremlin seems to be getting ready to suppress mass unrest.
The Ministry of Defence is creating defence HQs in regions and cities across the swamps in preparation for martial law, based on their experiences in occupied Ukraine.
They seem scared of what they see coming.

🔥 SBU has hit the third Russian oil production platform in the Caspian Sea
This time, a drilling rig was attacked at the Rakushechne field (named after Valery Graifer). The drone's onboard camera recorded a successful hit in the area of the platform's gas turbine installation.

Ukraine’s defense industry has expanded its capabilities 35‑fold since the full‑scale invasion, the Ministry of Defense reports. The fastest growth has been in drone production, robotic systems, electronic warfare tools, software solutions, artillery, armored vehicles, missiles, and ammunition.

Poland’s Donald Tusk framed yesterday’s EU leaders’ summit around a stark choice: pay to stop Putin now or fight when his troops arrive.
His equation — cash or casualties — exposes the conflict at the heart of Europe's struggles over supporting Ukraine.

Summit shows Europe still doesn’t want to pay to save Ukraine
Some northern countries have been sending cash to Kyiv for years, but many Europeans don’t see why they should.

🇺🇦 Another Russian “winter walk” ends early near Dobropillia. Using fog for cover, Russian troops launched a motorized infantry assault with 16 quadbikes in the sector held by Ukraine’s 1st Corps “Azov”. None reached their target. A combo of mines, drones, and artillery crushed them on approach.
