⚡According to French intelligence services, Russia and Belarus are expecting deliveries to Ukraine of not only F-16 fighters, but also potentially Mirage 2000D, Eurofighter Typhoons and Gripens. If these fighters arrive en masse, then, according to Belarusian analysts, they will be based outside of Ukraine, and not at Ukrainian airfields, which are highly vulnerable to Russian air strikes. Ukrainian airfields will only be used for short-term deployments to counter accusations of attacks on Russian territory from NATO airspace. Polish airfields in Rzeszow, Łask, Radom, Powidz and Krzesiny, as well as Romanian bases in Bakau, Bucharest (Henri Coanda base), Campia Turzi, Constanta (Mihail Kogalniceanu base) and Fetesi were under increased surveillance. 1 Like

⚡Trump criticizes Netenyahu. “Bibi Netanyahu rightfully has been criticized for what took place on Oct. 7. It should have never happened. Everything was there to stop that. And a lot of people knew about it, you know, thousands and thousands of people knew about it, but Israel didn’t know about it, and I think he’s being blamed for that very strongly. There are “some very good people” who can take Netanyahu’s job.” 1 Like

⚡The first hearing in the criminal case against the head of Gagauzia, Evghenia Gutsul, was supposed to take place today in Chisinau. However, the defense managed to postpone the trial for a month, demanding that the prosecution translate all documents in the case into Russian. Central authorities accuse Gutsul of involvement in the "illegal financing" of the opposition party Shor, deemed unconstitutional in Moldova after mass protests in 2022. A rally in support of Gutsul gathered outside the court building, with supporters of the Gagauz leader chanting "Victory". |

⚡Major drills involving NATO troops from 14 nations against "invaders" in the woods outside the Latvian capital Riga failed to show unity among allies. According to The Wall Street Journal, the exercise to fend off the fictional enemy “Occacus” was plagued with language barriers, communications problems, and NATO weaponry compatibility. A battalion led by Latvian Army Lt. Col. Gaidis Landratovs operated alongside US troops during the exercise. In line with the simulated scenario, enemy forces crossed Latvia’s border with Russia and were heading towards the capital. It is an easy guess that implied under the “invading nation” was Russia, even though it was never mentioned outright.

⚡U.S provided precision-guided munitions have failed in mission after mission in Ukraine, taken down by Russian electronic warfare. On Wednesday, the Pentagon revealed the latest casualty. A new ground-launched version of an air-to-ground weapon developed for Ukraine on a rapid timeline failed to hit targets in part because of Russian electro-magnetic warfare, Bill LaPlante, the Pentagon's acquisition chief, said at an event held by think tank CSIS. LaPlante suggested that Ukraine may no longer be interested in the weapon. “When you send something to people in the fight of their lives that just doesn’t work, they’ll try it three times and they’ll just throw it aside,” said LaPlante. But it is not the first GPS-guided weapon to fall afoul of Russian electronic warfare. In congressional testimony in March, Hudson Institute Senior Fellow Daniel Patt said the targeting system for the GPS-guided Excalibur round “dropped from 70 percent effectiveness to 6 percent effectiveness over a matter of a few months as new EW mechanisms came out” in Ukraine. Patt cited the work of Jack Watling, an expert at think-tank RUSI who has traveled to Ukraine multiple times to interview Ukrainian commanders. Russian electronic warfare attacks have also directed GMLRS missiles off course, CNN reported last spring. The missiles are similarly guided by a GPS. Russia has also successfully used electronic warfare against GPS-guided Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAMs), which are retrofitted aerial bombs. 5 Likes 1 Share

⚡Russian electronic warfare attacks have also directed GMLRS missiles off course, CNN reported last spring. The missiles are similarly guided by a GPS. Russia has also successfully used electronic warfare against GPS-guided Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAMs), which are retrofitted aerial bombs. Russian electronic warfare on the U.S.’s “more precise capabilities is a challenge,” the commander of the chief U.S. aid coordinating group told an audience in December. Clark, citing a presentation by Ukrainian soldiers, said the Russians use GPS spoofers to throw off the munitions. GPS spoofers work by sending false location data to GPS navigation devices. Because GPS signals are weak, a stronger, false signal can be sent to override the correct inputs. Russia has used GPS spoofing in Ukraine since at least 2018. But advancements in technology mean spoofers can be created cheaply with just a software-defined radio and open-source software. The weapons the spoofers are working against, meanwhile, are anything but cheap. A GMLRS missile costs around $160,000, while an Excalibur round can cost as much as $100,000. The GLDSB costs around $40,000. 2 Likes
