  1. Commander of unmanned systems Robert 'Magyar' Brovdi reports a Shahed storage, assembly, and launch base was destroyed in occupied Donetsk. The strike followed months of intelligence work by SSO, artillery, and recon units of the 414th Brigade, culminating in a precision operation overnight. Well-informed channel Dosye Shpiona confirms: On the evening of Nov 5, Ukraine struck a major Geran-2 (Shahed) drone base at Donetsk airport with cruise missiles and drones. An ammo depot, fuel storage, and pre-launch prep site were destroyed. Power and comms nodes damaged. Up to 1,000 drones and 1,500 warheads were reportedly on site.
  2. Sorry, DP with more info below in the second one.
  3. Elite Ukrainian soldiers killed during award ceremony β€” The Telegraph A Russian missile struck an award ceremony in Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk region on November 1, killing members of elite Ukrainian military units. According to The Telegraph, the strike hit a site where Ukrainian troops had gathered for the event. Among the dead were drone operators and infantrymen from the 35th Separate Marine Brigade. Ukrainian journalist Dmytro Svyatnenko said that his brother, a 43-year-old β€œelite drone operator” who had fought in Krynky, Kurakhove, Maryinka, and Krasnohorivka, was among those killed. The Ukrainian Armed Forces confirmed the attack and said an investigation is underway. Preliminary reports suggest negligence in organizing the event may have contributed to the tragedy. While the official death toll remains undisclosed, Suspilne cited witnesses saying at least eight soldiers were killed and 40 wounded, with six still missing. β€œMost likely, we were betrayed. The missile hit about 15 minutes after the ceremony was supposed to start. We were standing about 100 meters away from the torches. Suddenly, an Iskander hit the spot where the ceremony was to be held. We heard nothing β€” just a massive explosion. One guy’s leg was shredded, another’s shoulders. We were lucky to be waiting off to the side. Everyone near the torches β€” gone,” a Ukrainian soldier told reporters anonymously
  4. Incredible The First Separate Medical Battalion of Ukraine has completed an unprecedented evacuation mission using a ground robotic vehicle equipped with an armored capsule. The operation involved rescuing a wounded defender who had remained in enemy-controlled territory for 33 days after being injured. Six previous attempts to extract him had failed, with six robotic systems lost in the process. The seventh mission finally succeeded, allowing the soldier to be evacuated from the occupied area. On its way, the robotic platform triggered an anti-personnel mine, damaging one of its wheels, yet it continued its mission. During the return, the vehicle came under attack from a Russian drone, but the armored capsule protected the wounded soldier, preventing further injuries. In total, the robotic system covered 64 kilometers, including 37 kilometers on a damaged wheel. The evacuee was delivered to safety, provided with medical care, and is now in stable condition β€” his life is out of danger.
  5. As U.S. ramps up pressure, Venezuela pleads with Moscow and Beijing for help Documents show Maduro drafted letter asking Russia for missiles, radars and upgraded aircraft as U.S. forces amass in the Caribbean. https://archive.ph/nMxIM
  6. A surge of unexplained fires and arsons is hitting key Russian infrastructure, targeting relay cabinets, electrical panels, and railway systems. According to Ukrainian intelligence and local sources, incidents have been reported from Moscow to Irkutsk, disrupting logistics and straining power networks. Himars strike on dam in Belgorod that also served as a key logistics route
  7. NowThis has returned!
  8. New reporting on Rubio's role in the recent shift on Russia and what's been happening behind the scenes of these talks and meetings. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-10-24/rubio-s-sizing-up-of-russian-spin-spurred-us-shift-on-putin?embedded-checkout=true
  9. Interesting dive into the economics on the Western side of the war and the EU's use of Russian assets as collateral for loans to Ukraine.
  10. My first major observation upon moving here was that it is a unique crossroads, especially in the Lexington region: the start of the South but not quite and the transition from east to Midwest. It has elements of the rust belt and the Bible belt but is not really either (though probably closer to the latter than the former), then, as you mentioned, Appalachian influences without the abject poverty, since they all moved here to get away from those circumstances. The beauty of the horse farms and rolling hills gives the area a special character. Glad everyone seemed to find things to enjoy on a beautiful fall weekend.
  11. They have great fries there
