A USAF KC-135 refueling aircraft was orbiting near the Poland-Ukraine border.The General Staff of the Polish Armed Fo...
Israel-Hamas War Flash Report - 06 FEB 2024 17:45 PDT - Houthi's Devastating Economies
Traffic through the Suez Canal in January 2024 dropped by 90% compared to 2023 due to Iran-backed Houthi rebels attacking shipping in the Red Sea. Houthi rebels stated their intent was to block shipping traffic to Israel by targeting only Israeli-associated ships and ships carrying cargo to or from Israel. But since early December, to quote Captain James T. Kirk from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn, "...but like a blind marksman, you keep missing the target."Only 35% of attacks on civili...

Updated: Russia-Ukraine War Flash Report - 05 FEB 2024 - 14:30 PST - Good News and Bad News
The original version contained, "Yes, Russia has a 5:1 artillery advantage, but it has to be repeated: Russia's artillery capabilities are already degraded by 82% compared to June 2023."It should have read, "Yes, Russia has a 5:1 artillery advantage, but it has to be repeated: Russia's artillery capabilities are already degraded by 82% compared to June 2022."First, the bad news.

Russia Ukraine War Report Podcast for 04 FEB 2024
Analysis!Yes. I got into the studio and did January in review. Also covered Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, Ukraine's drone warfare capability is rapidly evolving, but it won't solve the ammunition crisis, and it's time to talk about Congress and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson. Not talking about it now would be journalist malfeasance.
Russia-Ukraine War Flash Report - 03 FEB 2024 - 16:20 PST - Several Key Updates
VolgogradSomeone smarter than me believes that the drone attack on the Lukoil Refinery in Volgograd destroyed one of the decoking towers. They also initially believed that the condensate tower had been destroyed. I held back on declaring the condensate system destroyed after getting a hydrocracker versus a vacuum distillation system wrong at Krasnodar Krai. It wasn't errors and omissions territory - ultimately, they both do the same thing, just the process is different.The difference? Had th...
Russia-Ukraine War Flash Report - 03 FEB 2024 - 12:15 PST - Ukraine's Devastating Strategy

Ukrainian drones have hit seven Russian oil industry facilities in less than two months, with the ...

[WBHG 24 News] - The latest reports from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which has had a team of international inspectors at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant for 16 months, painted an alarming picture of leaking steam generation circuits and safety systems, inadequate staff, and no 2024 maintenance plan.Europe's largest nuclear power plant is located in occupied Enerhodar. Previously located on the banks of the Kakhovka Reservoir, the primary source of cooling water for ZN...

Housekeeping - Possible Limited SITREP for 30JAN24
Russia experienced a nationwide Internet outage today that took down thousands of sites and social media platforms. It appears the incident was self-inflicted and not related to a cyberattack. However, this has limited the release of information. I'm reading the analyst notes and if there are large gaps, the January 30 SIT REP will be a summary report.
Seattle Police Officer Daniel Auderer could be fired for unprofessional conduct
[WBHG News 24 – Seattle] – After a January 23 report from the Seattle Office of Police Accountability concluded Officer Daniel Auderer violated SPD’s professionalism and bias-based policing policies while discussing the death of Jaahnavi Kandula, including saying she had “limited value,” SPD leadership has recommended harsh discipline, up to termination.On the night of January 23, 2023, Officer Kevin Dave was responding to a drug overdose call when he struck 23-year-old college student...

Israel-Hamas War Flash Report 27JAN24 18:00 PST - Genocide, War Crimes, and UNRWA Firings
It's been 112 days since the October 7 massacres in Israel that started the Israel-Hamas War. If I were a lesser man, I'd share some of the hate mail received during our period of coverage. We gave up because the information space was and still is an impossible tangle of disinformation and misinformation. If it's unclear, that's directed at all parties.I have been deeply concerned about words with heavy weight and meaning that have been tossed around, like ordering fast food at a...

Housekeeping and Health Update 25JAN24 17:30 PST
I know a few people have asked in comments and messages, and a couple have noted that the machine seems to be back on.I am not "better," but I am in another good phase, and the momentum is fading a bit.The good news is no surgery - phew.The bad news - still doesn't have a name/diagnosis beyond, "You have long COVID, and it sucks to be you."A lot more tests and specialist visits are coming up over the next 60ish days. But that is good news. If you've ever been chronically ...

Russia-Ukraine Flash Report 24JAN24 16:30 PST - Il-76 Shoot Down, What We Know
After three late nights in a row, I'm definitely feeling it today. This is going to be quick and raw because work on the SITREP has started, but I know a lot of people are asking. In our assessment, based on open-source flight tracking data, very reliable sources identified the tail number of the Il-76, the location of the crash, and the direction of the aircraft. The plane departed from Belgorod and was flying east-northeast. To further support this, the size of the explosion after the cras...

Early this morning, one of the analysts geolocated the video in the Serebriankiy Woods.

Russia-Ukraine War Flash Report 19JAN24 03:15 PST
Videos and reports show that anti-government riots in the Republic of Bashkortostan have spread to Ufa, with up to 2,000 protesters violently clashing with police. Mass arrests are ongoing, and riot police are kettling protesters.Before you start to wonder if this is the end of the beginning or the beginning of the end, it will take a lot more protests, occurring simultaneously across dozens of regions, to make a difference. But this is a start.
