Neptune missle strike on a military plant. Just by taking out this factory, it will be enough to cause a bottleneck in production of the finished product for a while. These missles hit much harder and cause much more damage than some little drone.

exerpt from article:
"The enterprise specializes in the production of electronic warfare (EW) systems, measuring instruments, electronic connectors, and cable products.

According to the Colonel General Staff Telegram channel, this plant manufactures cylindrical and rectangular connectors of the SNTs, SNP, and SP types, which are used in the interblock systems of most Russian cruise and ballistic missiles."

In Moldova the party that’s pro-EU apparently easily won the election, so Russia’s meddling didn’t work. Which is good.

Ukraine to receive the Gripen fighter very soon. Another article on the matter explains that they may also get another AWACS jet that gives them real-time intel of anything flying towards Ukraine. This would be nice because it would mean that the current jet wouldn't have to get so many flying hours.

The gripen will enable less experienced pilots to get some kills, because it is easier to learn and fly. It can also land on a highway if needed. This would help ukraine by letting it avoid a drone or missle attack on an airbase. Dispersion helps.

Glad to see this, been a fan of this light aircraft for quite a while.

Ukraine for the first time has deliberately targeted and struck the power plant in Belgorod after President Zelensky warned the Russians that if they continue targeting Ukrainian energy infrastructure then Ukraine would have to respond.

Ukraine has had to deal with this every winter since the initial invasion. And they've been very patient as to not attack Russia's electricity. But now that they have the means to do this more effectively with the missles being produced, it will only be fair to return in kind. Ukraine now has more targets to attack since they have the missles (and more drones) to use. So these electricity plants were never at the top of the list but now they will certainly be targeted by ukraine.

It seems that encirclement a few days back is coming back to bite Ukraine. Now they are at risk of encirclement, so they will probably give it up. Also Chasiv Yar was taken, so now Russia can focus on Sloviansk or Kramatorsk. Ukraine seems to be getting more and more quality weapons, but the lack of men on the field is making things difficult.
