Is this (if the calculation is correct) the highest so far?
Donetsk Oblast, a Russian T-72 sends its turret roughly 250 feet (76m) into the air after a catastrophic ammunition detonation.

“Iran’s IRGC Quds Force commander Esmail Qaani, who traveled to Lebanon after the assassination of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah, has not been heard from since strikes on Beirut’s southern suburb on Thursday, two senior Iranian security officials tell Reuters.”

“It appears that the Russians sent a ballistic missile to the S-70 crash site. I hope the wreck has already been recovered.”

This is Ukraine’s only victory of the week? A few more such weeks and the war is over. I can make up better propaganda.
“Sweden has sent Ukraine 100 Pansarbandvagn 302 Armored Personnel Carriers
They have a crew of 3 (commander, driver, gunner) & can carry 8 soldiers in & out of battle
Their main armament is the 20 mm autocannon m/47D and they also come with 2x 71mm Lyran mortars”

"...37 Shahed drones were downed as a result of electronic warfare."
37 Shaheds taken out by EW is huge.
The Kinzhal ballistic missiles would have been taken out by Patriots.
I wonder where the Kinzhal targets were located...most likely in the Kyiv area.
Remember folks, RuZZia is the enemy of all mankind.
Have a Good Day!
Illia Ponomarenko:
If someone had told me on February 24, 2022, that I’d be seeing M1 Abrams in Ukraine with Ukrainian reactive armor in 2024, I’d suffocate in hysterical laughter.
If that ‘someone’ had added that Ukrainian-used Leopard 2s and Challenger 2s would be fighting in Russia’s Kursk region, I’d get up and die one more time.

I predicted on FR back in 2022 that Ukraine would get F16s and Abrams.
Also think this is a 10 year war.
7 years and 4 months to go!
It is highly likely that the MTTF today for Putin is less than 7 years.
Indicted War Criminal Little PUkin turned 72 today.
Will he make it to 79?
Looks like a Polymarket opporunity.
For this Question: Will Ukraine hold Kursk through 2024?

I say BUY YES! Bay of Pigs, Its NOT.
The military upset Putin. They failed to give him the gift he wanted
Back in August, we wrote: Vladimir Putin sets the military the task of liberating the Kursk region by his birthday – by October 7. Andrei Belousov immediately doubted the feasibility of achieving this goal. As we can see, the Minister of Defense was right.
“Vladimir Vladimirovich is, of course, upset. Most likely, he will not make any drastic moves for now. But he has already inquired – since it was not possible to give him a gift for his birthday, will he at least receive a gift in the form of the Kursk region for the New Year? He hopes that everything will work out within this time frame,” a source close to the president told us.
At the same time, the military with whom we spoke are not sure that it will be possible to liberate the Kursk region by the end of the year. “ There are all sorts of forecasts. In general, I do not understand why we are in such a hurry and why we are setting such tasks. We will have time to sort out the Kursk region,” said a source in the Ministry of Defense.

i.e. Big failure
“They are using ANTI-AIR, as A MORTAR.”
No doubt with characteristic inaccuracy. Perhaps it boosts their morale, to at least be able to produce some kind of fireworks.
It’s the sound that counts.

Forward should check out the turret toss pic for another victory 😂
Forward is a backward thinking kind of guy.
JD referred to Trump as ‘America’s Hitler’.
Like I’ve said, I don’t trust him.
My opinion of Trump: I used to be a big supporter. While I agree with most Trump positions, I disagree with his view on NATO and his view on Ukraine. Those are 2 big issues.
“Vance’s private comments suggest his change of heart about the former president occurred later than previously understood. Prior to running for the Senate, Vance was particularly critical of Trump, at one point describing him as “America’s Hitler.” “

“ While I agree with most Trump positions, I disagree with his view on NATO and his view on Ukraine. Those are 2 big issues.”
I believe that it is possible/probable that those are negotiating postures.
If you want NATO partners to pay their 2%, when they ask if you will protect them anyhow, even if they don’t pay - tell them no. Incentivize them. They welched for a long time before Trump told them no. It is not the art of the deal, it is just the very basics of deal making.
