Translation using google translate on the image:

At the moment, Ukrainian formations have made another attempt at a massive strike on the Crimean peninsula.
To carry out strikes, both UAVs are used to destroy ground targets, and unmanned boats are used to attack ships of the Black Sea Fleet. Another goal is the Crimean Bridge.

Judging by the explosions in the vicinity of Feodosia, one of the targets could have been the patrol boat "Sergei Kotov", which was in that area. It is unknown whether there were hits or whether explosions occurred as a result of the destruction of the BECs.

"What I say, goes" might be the proper intention, I was being a little facetious in my initial translation but I decided against it.

I personally would have liked to see a little more green in the broader German ambitions, and more push back against the Agri lobby.

In terms of the war the self imposed constraints keep puzzling me and frustrating others. I just hope that Europe will now get serious on a European defense sector that is able to be self sufficient and can sufficiently standardize stuff across the various armies. In the mean time, Germany ordering another 100 Taurus from the manufacturer and sending Ukraine 2 batches of 50 would be helpful. No individual weapon is a game changer, but taking out that stupid bridge will be one.

 

The article suggests that if Ukraine can withstand the conflict until 2024 and receive continued U.S. support, its chances of victory may increase. The U.S. and European defense industries are stepping up production, and European support for Ukraine remains strong. Russia's sustained war effort faces challenges, including manpower limitations and potential political difficulties for Putin. The article underscores the importance of ongoing assistance for Ukraine amid the dire situation it currently faces.

I do not know how much cross pollination there is between Europe and the Russo-Ukranian war communities. But this youtuber has a background in defense economics and has in-depth analysis of a wide range of subjects in the field. This week an update and analysis of the long war is posted and I thought some people that would normally not see this would enjoy these insights.

It's long been understood that the war in Ukraine will likely be a long and hard one, determined as much by production, supply, economics and political will as well as the skill and sacrifice of those fighting it.

But despite that realisation, the transition of the war into its third year of full-scale fighting still represents a bitter milestone, and while the front has seen some movements recently and the year is likely to see a number of offensive actions - at a strategic level, the lines are moving at a glacial pace, and often only when the supply situation allows.

By popular vote - today we're going to look at where the war in Ukraine stands in 2024. We'll explore ammunition production and supply, the economic health of the countries involved, some of the trends in terms of the way the fighting is evolving and put together what predictions we can for the coming months.

My german writing is not very good so I won't butcher your language.
I considered translating the title to "I'm the chancellor, I tell it like it is".

I consider it a shame that Olaf refuses to release the bulls from their stable. I sort of understand his reluctance, but then I do not.

  • Usage on Russia proper. So far Ukranians have kept their word on usage of NATO weapons against Russia proper. Future compliance is assured with future aid.
  • Deployment of German soldiers. You either train Ukranians to do it (it's not rocket science, LOL) or you have your soldiers do it remote. And if you really have to have people in country, ill bet dollars to donuts if you ask for volunteers, some techs familiar with Taurus will step up.

I thought the leaked audio was hilarious, Soldiers discussing what soldiers are paid to discuss (options, requirements, risks). The leak itself is either monumentally stupid, or intentional. Im still hoping on the latter, but definately not discounting the former.

Italy plans to withdraw its air defense system, SAMP/T Mamba, from Slovakia, replacing the American Patriot air defense system. Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico received a message from the Italian government about the withdrawal, citing the need to deploy it elsewhere.

Fico raised concerns about protecting nuclear power plants and other strategic targets in Slovakia. Previously, Slovakia provided military assistance to Ukraine, including a Russian S-300 missile defense system and temporary deployment of US Patriots.

However, under Fico's new government, Slovakia refused the 14th package of military aid to Ukraine, citing the need to maintain its defense capability. Fico emphasized not obstructing private defense companies' exports and affirmed military-technical cooperation with Ukraine during a meeting with Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal.

So they oppose aid to Ukraine because they need to protect themselves, and then are surprised other European countries allow them to handle their own defense.

The GUR confirms that a railroad bridge over the Chapayevka River in the Samara region of Russia has been blown up. Due to damage to the tracks, trains cannot use it anymore.

Olaf Scholz, the German Chancellor, is facing a significant challenge surrounding the Taurus missile, a 5-meter-long, 1.4-ton precision-guided cruise missile of the Bundeswehr. Initially, it was an internal political dispute within the coalition on whether to deliver the missiles to Ukraine. However, since Scholz broke his silence on Taurus last week, the issue has gained international attention, with accusations of indiscretion and a leaked conversation among Bundeswehr officers adding to the complexity.

In a conversation initiated by Luftwaffeninspekteur Ingo Gerhartz, details about Taurus were disclosed, including the potential quantity of missiles for delivery and their estimated cost. The situation has raised concerns about Germany's security, as the leaked information could pose risks given the country's vulnerability to Russian intelligence. Additionally, the controversy has strained relations with allies, particularly the UK, following Scholz's public explanation for rejecting Taurus delivery to Ukraine and allegations of Germany's inability to handle target guidance independently.

The British government denied Scholz's claims, but the leaked conversation indicated the UK's involvement in supporting Ukraine with missile guidance. The situation has heightened tensions, with some viewing Scholz's statements as an abuse of intelligence information. There are also accusations of the Chancellor providing false information regarding the necessity of German involvement in Taurus deployment.

Despite these challenges, Scholz and Defense Minister Boris Pistorius are adopting a defensive strategy, urging unity against Russian President Vladimir Putin's alleged eavesdropping. The government characterizes the situation as absurd Russian propaganda. While the opposition may exert pressure, Scholz appears unlikely to reverse his decision on Taurus delivery, fearing it would be seen as a response to the surveillance and potentially escalate the situation. Overall, the delivery of Taurus missiles to Ukraine seems increasingly improbable in the aftermath of recent events, aligning with Putin's interests.

The article discusses parallels between historical America First isolationists' stance during World War II and contemporary America Firsters' views on Ukraine.

It highlights the skepticism among some politicians, like Sen. Tuberville and Donald Trump, regarding Ukraine's chances of success against Russia.

The author argues that such isolationist attitudes play into Putin's hands by conveying a sense of inevitable triumph for Russia. Despite initial doubts, Ukraine has shown resilience and strength, with increased nationalism and popular support.

The article emphasizes the importance of continued U.S. aid to Ukraine for its survival against Russia's ongoing aggression and the potential consequences if aid is cut off.

It also provides insights into the military dynamics, economic challenges for Russia, and the critical role of U.S. aid in determining Ukraine's fate.

A lot of the more modern NVR systems can be accessed from the internet. So you can use these.

Synology has security station on their NAS systems (although there is some licensing nowadays depending on model and number of cameras.

Ubiquity also offers local storage for their system, that also offers a bellcam (like ring) and different in and outdoor camera models.

Good luck!

It will be interesting to know if the cables for these things can handle the load. On an individual level probable, but on larger scale?

Nah, this time is exactly the right time to unionize. This way the company does not have to fight the Union and they can cooperate properly.

However, if under new management the company where to ever change her tune..........
