"Ukraine does not have the means to protect against Iranian ballistic missiles, said Yuriy Ignat, spokesman for the Air Force Command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces"

"Unfortunately, we have information that Russia will strengthen its capabilities with the help of Iranian ballistic missiles. Our specialists say that the best defense against them is to destroy them in warehouses," he said."

According to Ignat, the world will be able to help Ukraine if it finds mechanisms to prevent the delivery of Iranian missiles to the Russian Federation.

Ukraine don't have anti ballistic missile capabilities - according the Ukrop air force command

Hitting warehouses problematic since 300-700 km range mobile systems , HIMARS only 80 km

Can't wait when the fireworks starts ☺️ will be lit

Combat support role would be more interested (strategic is straight forward) , with 5-10 Fateh you can destroy a ukrop stronghold or village full with ukrop troops . (Russia don't doing it because they don't have many spare ones, soon they have - hell unleashed)

Best bait them into fighting or counter attack then blow everything up when they assembled with 500 kg warheads x10 missile can kill everything using shockwaves and shrapnels in 30-50 meters circle ⭕️

~ 5 acres complete devastation in well selected pattern using 10 but most cases only few enough to hit troop concentrations

Usual ukrop attack groups is 5 BMP and 1-2 tanks , 1-2 missile enough to take all them out when they bogged down in fighting or recon drone spotted them in the preparation phase

Report GPS location and in minutes arrives Problem with suicide drones they only kill what they hit 🎯 not all around

"Iran has agreed to transfer ballistic missiles and a new batch of drones to Russia," the Reuters news agency reported, citing two senior Iranian officials and diplomats. The agency clarifies that on October 6, former Deputy Prime Minister of Iran Mohammad Moher, together with representatives of the IRGC, visited Moscow for talks.

"The Russians had asked for more drones and those Iranian ballistic missiles with improved accuracy, particularly the Fateh and Zolfaghar missiles family," said one of the Iranian diplomats, who was briefed about the trip.

Also, one of the members of the deal said that Russia had asked for "hundreds" of medium- and short-range missiles, to which Iran agreed, but with reservations about the impossibility of providing such a number of missiles at once. (They don't have a large stock of medium range missiles, but can send several hundred short range ones now)

It was agreed that the missiles will start being delivered in batches in about 10 days.

The US intelligence community is confident that Iran continues to build up military ties with Moscow. It is already supplying Russia with combat drones - and is also preparing to send new modifications of kamikaze drones that can fly over a distance of 2,000 kilometers.

But the Fateh-110 and Zolfaghar medium-range surface-to-surface missiles can now be added to the drones. They are the main types of Iranian missiles sent for export. The first is capable of flying 300 kilometers, the second - 700.

In addition, against the background of the Ukrainian crisis, Iran is trying to quickly adopt its analog of the American HIMARS missile systems. The new Iranian systems - called Fateh 360-are similar to HIMARS, but their missile speeds are twice as fast. The firing range is 80-100 kilometers, the missiles use Russian Glonass for guidance.

It is quite possible that these missile systems will be able to receive a “baptism of fire” on the Ukrainian front at some point. American military experts note that Iranian weapons have their drawbacks, but their main advantages are simplicity of design and low cost.

The supply of weapons to Russia will certainly lead to new sanctions from Washington. However, against the background of the failure of negotiations with Biden on a new nuclear deal, Tehran may take such risks. Western markets for its oil are probably closed forever. Therefore, Iran will continue to focus on Russia and China - and at the expense of the Ukrainian conflict, it will try to promote the reputation of its weapons in order to strengthen its position in the global arms market.

Arash 2 is the latest heavy kamikaze drone, carries a warhead weighing more than 100 kg, has a greater speed and range to the target.

It can automatically lock onto air-defence radars that emit radiation.

in its appearance and aerodynamic shape it resembles a cruise missile rather than a UAV-but with a piston engine!

Pictured are Arash-2 with thermal and optical camera in nose.

...

There are some claims that Russian engineers assisted Iran in the development of their drones and that they have all the necessary documentation to produce them in Russia as a way to give Iran plausible deniability to say they don't supply them

(There have been several reports that Russia is getting some of these drones; but I have read other reports which say that Russia requested these newest Iranian drones in September; but the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps turned them down for fear they would fall into the hands of the U.S.)

Another Iranian military transport plane has arrived in Moscow. Russia is getting 500 per month (lots of Iranian cargo planes landing in Moscow) but will be producing their own at 100 a day by the end of the year.

Our source reports that Western partners are warning the Office of the President that the Russians are about to expand their range of unmanned "aerial drones".

A huge number of UAV operators are now being trained in the Russian Federation, as well as mass assembly of drones, which are produced by the RF. We have been insinuating this since the summer.

The only chance for Bankova is that Russia will be negligent about this matter or will once again lose the most of the allocated billions due to corrupton. In the opposite case, this is a very bad sign for the Ukrainian Armed Forces as the transferred Western air defence systems will not be sufficient to repel constant air raids, and it is always difficult and expensive to resupply missiles for NATO armaments.

There's been a telephone conversation between the Russian and US defence ministers

The conversation between the US and Russian defense ministers initiated by Washington was necessary to eliminate misunderstandings and eliminate risks

“The big question is why is Russia staging forces in Belarus? There’s only one logical target from Belarus: Kiev.”

Agree. The West has pretty much made it clear that if there is anything left of present-day Ukraine, it will be used to terrorize Russia and Russians. So, at this point, the only question will be how Ukraine gets divided up.

"The Mullah’s probably got those from Barack Hussein."

If that were the case, then we would have something as good or better than the Shahed-136; we don't.

One thing I missed, I thought the next generation after the 136 was a year or so out... The next gen is here now and Russians are taking delivery now. Poor hohos.....

⚡️ A US airborne division is ready to enter Ukraine⚡️

For the first time in nearly 80 years, the US Army’s 101st Airborne Division, the “Screaming Eagles”, has been deployed to Europe. Its commanders have told CBS News that they have arrived to defend NATO, but if there is a military escalation or an attack on NATO, they are fully prepared to cross the border and enter Ukraine.

The 101st Airborne Division is a light infantry group of 4,700 troops. It is deployed on the territory of Romania. The TV channel calls the division one of the most elite.⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

🇷🇺🇺🇦 The news about the transfer of Ukrainian trains to thermal traction cannot but cause good feelings. Unlike the lack of light and heat in the houses, this is a much more important event. There are very few diesel locomotives in Ukraine, and it is problematic to transfer them to new lines. And this means very serious transport problems for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

🇺🇦🇩🇪❗️Kiev is already openly blackmailing Germany

Germany is obliged to immediately supply Ukraine with new ammunition for IRIS-T SLM air defense systems, - Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal in an interview with the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.

Otherwise, Shmyhal says, a “migration tsunami” will cover Europe due to Russian attacks on infrastructure, when Ukraine will be left without electricity, heat and water.

Vladimir Dzhabarov, First Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs, suggested thinking about returning to the practice of two-year military service.

According to the senator, this will increase the size of the Russian Armed Forces and train professional fighters.

The goals of the strategy of General Surovikin. Details of new strikes

The commander of the special operation, General of the Army Sergei Surovikin, ordered the destruction of strategically important energy facilities in Ukraine.

The peak occurred on the morning of October 22. The key facilities were the substations “Lutsk - Severnaya” (Volyn region), “Rivne”, “Pobugskaya” (Kirovograd region), “Usatovo” and “Adzhalyk” (Odessa region).

In the Odessa region, a blow was also delivered to the general substation control point, which will complicate the process of restoring power grids in the southern regions of Ukraine. This paralyzes the traffic of trains with military equipment delivered from the central regions to Nikolaev and for distribution to the Kherson front.

The substation “Khmelnitskaya”, which provides power to a number of railway branches and repair and restoration capacities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the western regions of Ukraine, has undergone a critical blow.

The general railway architecture for the supply of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the Donbass and Kherson fronts, as well as the activities of the logistics centers here are close to complete collapse.

This is interesting...

SOLOVIEV (forwarded from banksta)

Cambridge University: conflict in Ukraine has accelerated the split of the world into two civilizations. According to the results of the study, of the 1.2 billion inhabitants of countries with a democratic form of government, 75% currently express a negative attitude towards China and 87% towards Russia.

However, among the 6.3 billion people in the rest of the world, the picture is reversed - 70% of the population has a positive attitude towards China and 66% supports Russia. @banksta

❗️🇺🇦⚔️🇷🇺All civilians of Kherson must immediately leave the city

Civilians of Kherson and all departments and ministries of civil administration must cross today to the left bank of the Dnieper.

Due to the tense situation at the front, the increased danger of massive shelling of the city and the threat of terrorist attacks, all civilians must immediately leave the city and cross to the left bank of the Dnieper!

Important from the Svatovsky direction from the BARS-13 “Russian Legion” battalion commander:

According to the analytical group of the Russian Legion, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are transferring forces from the southern direction to Svatovskoye. Based on an analysis from open sources using theprocessing of information from the social networks of employees of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, it was found that the military personnel who posted photos with geotags from the Krivoy Rog region onOctober 17-18, today, on October 21, are posting content already from the vicinity of Kupyansk, more than 50 such cases have been recorded. from this it can be assumed that there is a process of transferring units from the Kherson direction to Svatovskoye, which indicates that the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has not abandoned its offensive plans in this direction and continues to strengthen its grouping.

“This is concerning...A US airborne division is ready to enter Ukraine”

True, but I think the Neocons will give it some SERIOUS THOUGHT regarding the political cost should Russia be ready for them.
