And now it is December

And now it is December.
The fashion shoot is tomorrow. It was a little rainy today and should be a little rainy on Sunday but tomorrow it is supposed to just be cloudy. It is now December and the weather tomorrow is supposed to be a high of 60. 

Yesterday I mentioned a hack by Cyber Resistance. They broke into the Russia Defense Ministry. Now Ukraine's Main Directorate of Intelligence (GUR) announced  they broke into Russia's Federal Air Transport Agency (Rosaviatsia)  and accessed critical documents. The documents suggest a looming collapse of Russian civil aviation due to international sanctions. The sanctions have cut off access to essential Western-made spare parts. We knew this. We knew that Russia was cannibalizing some planes to keep others running. The GUR's report indicates a threefold increase in aircraft malfunctions in the first nine months of this year compared to the same period in 2022. What I didn’t realize but I read today was that the military uses a lot of the same components and is probably also suffering from irregular maintenance and lack of spare parts. 

A train caught fire in Russia's longest tunnel on Wednesday. This train carries military supplies. Initial investigations indicate explosives were placed underneath the train. There were no casualties. Ukraine did this in Siberia, 2,500 miles from the border. 

You remember that I’ve told you about the decoys Ukraine uses? Russian military bloggers boasted Thursday that Russia destroyed a Ukrainian air force Sukhoi Su-25 attack jet in southern Ukraine, They were so happy. Today they are less happy because today they realized that they destroyed a decoy.
