Emergency blip

oh phoo, I didn’t take pictures today. 
This is Samuel with a toy car our neighbor gave him. 

Ukrainian intelligence hacked one of Russia’s largest banks, Gazprombank, making it impossible for hundreds of thousands of Russians to make online payments or get cash or use their app. Hackers also recently attacked the Russian MTS bank, PJSC Moscow Credit Bank, and Rosselkhozbank. 

Russia is suffering record casualties. Their economy is already suffering from a reduced work force, replacing the soldiers at this rate is not sustainable, even if they don’t care about training them. 

Russias’ most advanced tank uses laser-guided devices, or they did. They devices help their crews fire accurately. The tanks don’t seem to have them anymore. The Geran-2 drones are now spinning out of control. We dthink that these things are because Russia had to replace the drone steering motors with devices from China. Sanctions are making it hard to buy military equipment. 

Somebody sabotaged a railway in Moscow that connects Moscow with Kursk. Somebody set fire to a relay cabinet. This delayed the delivery of fuel and military equipment for Russian troops. 

Aeroflot is buying old planes to cannibalize for spare parts. That is cheaper than converting these cargo planes to passenger planes with the sanctions in place. Meanwhile, THREE DOZEN smaller Russian airlines may go bankrupt in 2025.
