#Russia is massively escalating its airstrikes on #Ukraine. The ramp up since August is huge and suggests a few things. (1) Russia's drone production has reached scale and this is the ugly "new normal" where Ukraine can expect 200-ish drones on the bad nights, (2) Putin is escalating strategically, not just to improve his position if Trump tries to end the war--the escalation started months before election results were known, and (3) Ukraine really, really needs to adopt a hardened and distributed generation model for its #electricity system--hundreds of turbines spread around the country. Centralized plants will not survive in this environment.

Since the start of russia’s invasion, DTEK Grids has restored electricity to 15 million Ukrainian families. The Donetsk region has suffered the most damage, being close to the russian border and partially occupied since 2014. Despite constant missile and drone attacks, our teams keep working. A drone hit one of our substations just a few days ago, causing a fire. We quickly de-energized the substation, allowing firefighters to put out the flames. Power was restored within a few hours. These situations happen often. Recently, while working at another substation, we had to evacuate due to a drone alert. Minutes later, the drone struck the substation. Unpredictable challenges like this are now part of our daily work. Yet, we keep going. Together, we are restoring power and hope for millions. #EnergyResilience #RestoringPower #StandWithUkraine #StrongerTogether

RP NPR: Israel 'spoofs' GPS to deter attacks, but it also throws off planes, ships and apps GPS "spoofing" sends false location signals to satellites to deter rockets and missiles. It also increases risks for planes, ships and technology that rely on the system. Technology Read more on NPR https://n.pr/3UaR5wF

❗️❗️❗️Due to the escalation of the war between Russia and Ukraine, many power stations in Ukraine have been blown up, and the cold weather there has created an urgent need for electricity. Many batteries exported from China end up in Ukraine after arriving in the EU. Together with the current serious international situation, Russia will strictly check the following products: 1) Centrifuges, including centrifugal dryers; filtration and purification machines for liquids or gases and parts of filtration equipment. 2) Unmanned aerial vehicles and parts thereof      3) Special, military, camouflage clothing and shoes 4) Electric motors and electric generators      5) Generator devices and rotary power converters      6) Power transformers, static power converters, inductive coils and throttling valves 7) Primary batteries and primary battery packs 8) Power storage batteries, including their compartments, rectangular (including square) or other shapes      9) Equipment for transmitting or receiving sound, images or other data, including wired or wireless communication equipment 10) Radar equipment, radio navigation equipment, and radio remote control equipment      11) Integrated circuits      12) Telescopes Pls contact me to get the prohibited items search site. #shipping #logistics #Russia #EU #Chinashipping #transport #freight #freightforwarding #transportation #internationaltrade #international #Freightforwarder #LTL #transportation

Modern warfare. We need to be resilient and ready

Today, Sweden announced that it is canceling plans for off-shore wind projects in the Baltic Sea, citing defence concerns. Romania, with a suitable area of 2,900 km2 for off-shore wind projects, intends to add 7 GW of capacity by 2035 (under the high-growth scenario). Various fragments from downed Russian drones landed in Romania’s territory in recent weeks and months, some near the sites of on-shore wind farms close to the Black Sea. In addition to the physical risks in terms of infrastructure protection, cyber security for such facilities must also be considered, while potential interferences with radar and defence systems raising additional issues. In the current geopolitical context, with Russia potentially continuing to expand its presence and influence in the Black Sea, as well as intensifying its “grey zone warfare” in the region, can Romania and NATO create a safe-zone for energy projects off the coast? #renewables #offshorewind #blacksea

As a more cost-effective option, experts suggest increasing investments in unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) and modernizing shipyards to address immediate threats, rather than focusing solely on expensive, future-oriented systems. (Orr)

Is the US federal government looking for improvised nuclear weapons that have been brought into the country by terrorists posing as illegal immigrants??? Dirty bombs or “radiological dispersion devices” are the most likely answer as to what the drones are looking for on the east coast given their proximity to coastal ports and crowded population centers.

🔥 Good morning! Biggest oil terminal in #Crimea is on fire. #Ukraine struck a Russian oil depot in Feodosia using #drones The burning Feodosia oil terminal is the largest trans-shipment for petroleum products in occupied Crimea. ⛽️ The only other terminal on the peninsula is located in Sevastopol. Heavy UAV attack struck the target. At least three major fires are raging. Aside from this place, the airfields of Saky and Belbek were also under attack. No news about the outcome, yet. 📍 Feodosia is a small city on the northern coastline. It's oil terminal consists of around 27 tanks, 3 of which are very large. Ukraine is picking out priority targets which likely have no air defence protection anymore. 🚫 Ukrainians recently claimed they've essentially stopped Russia from being able to use the land bridge (roads & rail) to supply Crimea through occupied Ukraine from the north. The bridge supply line has already been damaged. Transport ferries were sunk. Water supply was cut off when russia blew up the Kakhovka dam. 📉 And now, occupied Crimea could be left without fuel for the occupiers, too. More red lines going up in smoke... #intelligence #strategy #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦
