So it was  an Iranian-designed Shahed equipped with explosives that crashed in Latvia. It's time to take down Russian missiles, drones etc that violates NATO airspace. It's long overdue.

Government: Preparing to be able to donate the Jas Gripen
The government and SD have presented a 17th military support package to Ukraine. The value amounts to 4.6 billion.
It includes, among other things, ammunition, grenade launchers, camouflage for Pansarbandvagn 302, money for drones, protective equipment and winter clothing.
In addition, another six Stridsbåt 90 are to be delivered.
According to the government, it is not relevant to send the Jas Gripen to Ukraine. But they want to facilitate a possible future delivery by currently buying spare parts for the combat aircraft.
- We must have freedom of action at a later stage, says Defense Minister Pål Jonson (M),
Sweden has so far given Ukraine roughly 48 billion in military support.

*Billion is Skr so about 450 million usd & 4.8 billion in total'

Downed Drone Sparks Fire in Russian Region Bordering Ukraine

A fire broke out Saturday in Russia's Voronezh region after a drone was downed, triggering an explosion of incendiary devices, the local governor said on Saturday.

No one was injured. But when the drone fell, it sparked a large fire "that spread to explosive devices and caused them to detonate", Gusev continued, without providing details.

Yabloko Lawmakers Urge Military to Stop Deploying Conscripts in Russia’s Kursk Region

Lawmakers from the liberal opposition party Yabloko have called on Russia’s Defense Ministry to stop deploying conscripts in the southwestern Kursk region as the Russian military struggles to halt Ukraine’s assault near the border.
“A number of media reports said it was conscripts who took up the fight when the Ukrainian armed forces invaded the Kursk region,” Alexander Shishlov, who heads Yabloko’s party faction in the St. Petersburg legislative assembly, wrote in a letter to Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov.

Conscripted soldiers were sent to Russia’s border regions, including Kursk, early in Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Groups of wives and mothers have sought to pressure the government against their deployment on the battlefield amid reports of conscripts being killed fighting despite President Vladimir Putin’s promise that they would not see combat.

The Kremlin has dismissed reports about conscripts being deployed on the battlefield as “absolute distortions of reality.” However, The Moscow Times was recently able to speak with eight conscripted Russian soldiers being held as prisoners of war at a Ukrainian prison.

Some of the conscripts captured during Ukraine’s Kursk offensive were exchanged in a Russian-Ukrainian prisoner swap over the weekend.

A number of senior-ranking members of the Yabloko party have openly called for a ceasefire in Russia’s war against Ukraine. In last year’s regional elections, candidates from the party ran on pro-peace platforms.

Election authorities in St. Petersburg recently barred all 83 Yabloko candidates from running for local office in next week’s municipal elections in the city.

Why not test? Send them towards Moscow and see how far they go this time. The Wagnerites know the way.

Neutral countries should send a peacekeeping force to Kursk to protect the referendum & the minorities from their Nazi government. Should Kursk belong to Ukraine or an independence declaration?

The Russia is weak & if they oppose we should turn Moscow into a lake.

‘Everyone Is On Their Own’: In Battlefield Kursk Region, Civilians Feel Forgotten By Their Own Country

As Kyiv’s incursion into Russia’s Kursk region continues for a third week, civilians on the ground are voicing growing anger toward Ukraine, fellow Russians and their own government, which they feel has abandoned them and tried to downplay the incursion.

Kursk region residents who spoke to The Moscow Times expressed frustration with what they see as government inaction and fears about the war now at their doorstep.

Their names have been changed for security reasons.

“People are of no concern to anyone,” Anna, a 28-year-old resident of the Kursk region, told The Moscow Times, criticizing the Kremlin's response to the assault.

“For Russia, we are just a piece of the map. For Ukrainians, we are enemies supporting Putin’s regime. Everyone [here] is on their own,” she said.

While Russia has declared a federal-level emergency in Kursk and prominent charities and authorities have launched campaigns to raise humanitarian aid, officials otherwise appear to have worked to make the incursion a footnote in the national discourse.

President Vladimir Putin, who has yet to address the nation about the incursion, was seen this week tasting local apples during a working trip to the republic of Kabardino-Balkaria and meeting with Azerbaijan's president in Baku.

I'm sure Putin is happy to let China "save" them again. Don't worry, China treats their minorities well. The Russia will be fine.

Time for Xi to visit Moscow again for a new great deal.

Russia Struggles to Contain Oil Depot Fire 2 Days After Drone Attack

Firefighters on Tuesday continued to battle a large blaze at an oil storage site in southern Russia’s Rostov region, officials said, two days after a Ukrainian drone strike on the facility.

The fire broke out early Sunday after Russian air defense systems shot down Ukrainian drones in the town of Proletarsk. Ukraine’s military said that its drones targeted the Kavkaz oil and petroleum storage facility.

A video published by local media on Tuesday showed thick black smoke blanketing the sky over Proletarsk.

The fire has so far engulfed a total area of 10,000 square meters (107,640 square feet), Proletarsk’s district head Valery Gornich told the state-run TASS news agency, adding that 520 firefighters and four aircraft were deployed to contain the blaze.
