Neptun missile.
US European Command (EUCOM) Commander and NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR) General Christopher Cavoli reportedly stated that the US is withholding several US weapon systems and other military communications networks from Ukraine that could support Ukraine's war effort. CNN reported on October 8, citing sources familiar with the situation, that Cavoli outlined a list of several US capabilities that could better support Ukraine's war effort in a September 2024 report to the US Congress.[10] Another source familiar with the matter told CNN that that the list included the air-launched Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSMs) cruise missile and the Link 16 system â a data sharing network that the US and other NATO countries use for communication and command and control (C2). CNN reported that Cavoliâs report does not explain why the US has not yet provided Ukraine with systems that the US assesses could aid Ukraine's war effort. An unspecified source told CNN that the US has likely refrained from providing Ukraine with the Link 16 system over operational security concerns.
Russian forces continue to use chemical weapons in Ukraine in a continued apparent violation of the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), to which Russia is a party. The Ukrainian Support Forces Command reported on October 8 that Russian forces continue to use K-51 and RG-VO grenade launchers to launch munitions containing harmful but not necessarily lethal riot control agents (RCA), which are prohibited in combat by the CWC.[24] The Ukrainian Support Forces Command reported that there have been 250 cases of Russian forces using munitions containing unknown types of dangerous chemical agents in Ukraine in September 2024. The Ukrainian Support Forces Command reported that Russian chemical weapons use has been systematic since February 2023 and that as of September 24 Ukraine has recorded Russian forces using munitions equipped with chemical weapons 4,228 times. ISW has consistently reported on increasingly common instances of Russian forces using chemical substances in combat that are banned by the CWC.[25]

Critical Ukraine War Meeting Canceled After Joe Biden Pulls Out
A critical meeting in Germany with an alliance of more than 50 nations donating military support to Ukraine has been postponed after President Joe Biden canceled his attendance.
“It’s OVER”
Again? Its been over for 2 1/2 years.
Jon Boy So Funny!
Yep, 1.5 million deferements is too many.
“”After learning that 1.5 million draft-eligible Ukrainians were granted mobilization deferments as employees of âcritical enterprises,â President Volodymyr Zelenskyy suspended future deferment applications until Nov. 15, Ukrainska Pravda reported on Oct. 9.
Citing a government memo, the journalists wrote that Zelenskyy was reportedly dissatisfied with how many Ukrainian companies were able to shield their employees from getting mobilized into military service.
‘The president attended the meeting⌠he was incensed that 1.5 million [men] were granted deferments,’ a government source told the journalists.””

“US Believes That Ukraine Can Hold Russian Territory for Months”
“Seized terrain in Kursk could be a factor in talks with Moscow
Ukrainian forces are now getting a steady supply of ammunition”
“The US assesses that Ukraine will be able to hold onto the territory its forces have claimed in Russiaâs Kursk region for at least several months if not longer, according to senior American officials.
Ukraine so far hasnât faced any significant problems getting supplies to the Kursk area as Russian forces have only launched limited counterattacks and focused instead on advances in Ukraineâs east, according to the officials, who spoke to reporters on condition of anonymity Wednesday.”

A platoon of conscripts died in the Kursk region
Not much news has come from the Kursk region lately. And there the real meat grinder continues. Alas, there is also tragic news.
On Monday, October 7, near Lgov, enemy drones attacked the location of our military. An entire platoon of conscripts (16 people and one officer) was killed. Surprisingly, the building in the industrial zone was not protected by electronic warfare or an air attack warning system.
Eternal memory to the dead! Alas, there is no one to replace conscripts in the border regions [ https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/4716 ].

It will last 40 years and friends will become enemies. There is a new forecast about the war
Russia will fight for at least another 40 years. And this will be a war not only with Ukraine, but also with the collective West, as well as with âenemies whom we now consider friends and partners.â This opinion was expressed by philosopher Alexander Dugin in a commentary on our channel.
âYou always write the truth. Therefore, I ask you to publish this forecast. Let our people not be deceived. The war that is currently going on is a conflict of biblical proportions. And it will last at least 40 years. At best. And many of those whom we now consider friends will become our enemies in the struggle for living space,â said Alexander Gelyevich.
Dugin refused to say which friends we will fight with, âso as not to cause a scandal.â At the same time, he noted that his struggle to increase the birth rate in Russia is connected precisely with how long the war will last. âThe country needs warriors and those who will give birth to them, I repeat my key thesis,â added the philosopher.
The Kremlin commented on Duginâs words to us as follows: âThis is the personal opinion of Alexander Gelyevich. Some of his predictions come true, and some donât.â

Will the SVO end soon? Strange rumors have appeared at the front and even dates are being named
In a number of sectors of the front, the military began to actively discuss that the Northern Military District would supposedly end between December of this year and February-March next year. This was reported to us by officers who are fighting in the DPR, Kursk, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions.
âI donât know where these rumors came from, but almost a third of our personnel hopes to be home after the New Year,â said one of the channelâs interlocutors.
Another briefly described the rumors (interestingly, they are almost the same in different sectors of the front. However, it is unknown whether someone spread them on purpose). Allegedly, there will soon be negotiations that will result in the end of the SVO. And complete demobilization from the army will be announced. âMany of us believe in this, even among officers,â the source noted.
The interlocutor in the Kremlin categorically denied these rumors. âI donât know about any negotiations. And I donât know anything about the imminent completion of the SVO. We are still very far from achieving the goals of the special operation,â he said.
A source in the Ministry of Defense connected the rumors with demobilization, which is planned for December [ https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/4670 ].
âApparently, the military heard about demobilization. Someone did not understand that it would be partial, and told his friend. He told someone else, and away we go. I want to make it clear: there will be demobilization, but not everyone will go home yet. The army still has many difficult but heroic events ahead,â our interlocutor told us.

The enemy used drones to attack a number of important targets in our rear. There are two disturbing news
In recent days, there have been several serious attacks on targets in the rear of our troops. In Feodosia, an attack on an oil depot [ https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/4745 ] sparked a long and large-scale fire.
came under enemy fire Then the 67th GRAU warehouse in the Bryansk region. A serious detonation was recorded there. Information on the scale of losses is still being clarified.
In the Krasnodar Territory, drones of the Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked a military facility. The enemy is spreading rumors that there was supposedly a warehouse with hundreds of Geranium-2 type drones. While we cannot confirm this information, sources say that the blow was âpainfulâ, but are in no hurry to reveal details. At the same time, one of the sources was unpleasantly surprised that they were able to hit the object.
Last night in Adygea, enemy drones attacked the suburb of Maykop. The Khanskaya airfield came under attack . According to our data, two aircraft were damaged (preliminarily Su-34). Fuel tanks and an ammunition depot were also attacked.
This information is only for the last week. And not all of them. After talking with interlocutors at the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff, we came to two alarming conclusions.
Firstly, the intensity of enemy drone attacks is increasing. We warned about this before. Whatâs more important is that drones fly further, which means more and more military infrastructure can come under attack.
Secondly, we are concerned about the situation with the protection of rear facilities. We were very careful to express concerns that the transfer of air defense to our Iranian partners in a war could have unpleasant consequences on the battlefield [ https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/4723 ]. Among other things, we noted the need for tight defense of Crimea. As we see in the example of Feodosia, we were not heard.
In this regard, there is a need for urgent purchase of air defense for the needs of our army. But where? Rumor has it that this issue is being dealt with by Viktor Bout, the same âarms baronâ released from an American prison as an exchange. However, he has few options. It will also not be possible to increase production quickly. And attacks on the rear greatly reduce our capabilities directly on the front line.
Imagine the govt purchasing 100,000 cars and then blowing them up or dumping them in the ocean and then proclaiming GDP is up because of these 100,000 cars.
This is the âmiracle â of GPD âgrowthâ in Russia.
Infrastructure issues within Russia last year, pipes bursting, thermal power plants failing, poop rivers in KazanâŚ.. have been increasing. Curious to see how russia fairs this winter. We know Ukraine will have problems, but the âall is wellâ and âall is going according to planâ narratives may see some cracksđ
Apparently there are two large munitions depots near Moscow. Would like to see those hit, might help with the âitâs overâ narrative
What a Blessing this war has been for America: âdestroyed more than two-thirds of Russiaâs prewar inventory of tanksâ
Its too early for this war to end. RuZZia isn’t fully demilitarized yet.
“Russia has suffered more than 600K casualties in Ukraine, US official says”
“Russia has suffered more than 600,000 casualties in the war with Ukraine, a senior U.S. defense official said Wednesday.”
“The U.S. official said Russia sustained more casualties in September of this year than at any other point in the war, and explained it was important to disclose the casualties even if it is not a âdefinitive metricâ of success in the conflict.”
“Russia has also lost 32 medium-to-large naval vessels to Ukraine, which has hammered Russian forces in the Black Sea with drones, and âdestroyed more than two-thirds of Russiaâs prewar inventory of tanks,â according to the U.S. official. Ukraine has also destroyed hundreds of thousands of ammunition rounds in targeted strikes.”

“Russia gains ground in Ukraine, but at steep cost”
“Russia has made slow but steady gains in recent weeks against Ukraine but at a steep cost â the bloodiest month in the nearly three-year war, U.S. officials said Wednesday.
Casualties from the offensives in the Donbas have brought Russiaâs total number of dead and wounded to over 600,000, according to officials granted anonymity to brief reporters at the Pentagon on the course of the war.
The estimate of the casualties â more than 40 times Russiaâs losses during its decade-long invasion of Afghanistan in the 1990s â is in line with previous Ukrainian estimates, but tells only part of the story.”
“âThey have attempted to overcome [Ukrainian] fires with massive maneuver,â a military official said. âIf you look at the salient around Pokrovsk the number of Russian forces there is astounding. Itâs tens of thousands of forces that theyâve put into that very small area. As you know, when you have that many forces in a very small area ⌠itâs a target rich environmentâ for the Ukrainians.”
