“China Sends Spy Balloons Over Military Sites Worldwide, U.S. Officials Say”
“American intelligence agencies have assessed that China’s spy balloon program is part of a global surveillance effort that is designed to collect information on the military capabilities of countries around the world, according to three American officials.
The balloon flights, some officials believe, are part of an effort by China to hone its ability to gather data about American military bases — in which it is most interested — as well as those of other nations in the event of a conflict or rising tensions.
The balloons have some advantages over the satellites that orbit the earth in regular patterns, U.S. officials say. They fly closer to earth and drift with wind patterns, which are not as predictable to militaries and intelligence agencies as the fixed orbits of satellites, and they can evade radar. They can also hover over areas while satellites are generally in constant motion. Simple cameras on balloons can produce clearer images than those on orbital satellites, and other surveillance equipment can pick up signals that do not reach the altitude of satellites.”

The red phone in the middle looks ominous.
I toured the “Churchill War Rooms” during a London visit.
I just looked at the website. Sure enough that red phone was there. Don’t remember it, but the tour was many years ago.

I have visited Chruchill’s War Room. Most impressive.
If you ever make it to London, you should go.
Brace yourself for a bigger month.

RU engineering units have been removing mines in the Kreminna area for a while, recently in the Yampolivka direction. The removal of mines is most likely preparation for an offensive.
Poland, after they heard that 18 HIMARS were tearing up the Russian Army:
“We’ll take 486 please.”
Poland is also buying 288 equivalent Chunmoo MLRS systems from South Korea.
Oh, and also 1366 Main Battle Tanks (Abrams, K2 & K2PL)

Young Tatar nationalists gathered on the streets of Kazan, Tatarstan, Russia yesterday to celebrate the Day of the National Emblem of Tatarstan.
Tatarstan will at some point become an independent state.
Russia conquered Kazan in 1552, but many Tatars still dream of sovereignty.
Free Tataria!
