Here are News Reports and some of my thoughts on the ongoing Russia-Ukraine War:

* Russia upgraded Shahed-136 Drones with Satellite Guidance System
Russia has reportedly upgraded the Shahed-136 Loitering Munitions of Iran by replacing their Inertial Navigations System (INS) Modules with GLObal Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) Modules, making them more accurate especially over long Distances. I guess this is what differentiates the Russian Geran-2 Designation of the Drones from the Shahed-136

* Shahed-136 Drones could have Radar Frequency Sensors
There is some speculation that the Shahed-136 Loitering Munitions made by Iran also have Radio Frequency Sensors and were designed to attack any Radar Source that detects and tracks them, that is why they are so effective when attacking Enemy Territory. But this is just speculation for now as Iran or Russia does not confirm it and no Shahed-136 Drone has been recovered intact enough to prove this

* Wokes leading the World into World War Three
I so agree with this Article. When the War in Ukraine started, the old Liberals and the young Wokes were so convinced that the all-out Economic Sanctions by the West will crash the Russian Economy within Weeks. It’s been eight Months now, and there is still no absolutely no sign of the Russian Economy crashing anytime soon. Without de-escalation, there will only be a slow and further escalation of the War. The next Milestone is the use of Tactical Nuclear Weapons, and if that still doesn’t convince the Liberals and the Wokes, it will be Strategic Nuclear Weapons next and the end of our current Civilization as we know it 

* American reveals changes in Russian Supermarket after Sanctions
An American from Texas now living in Russia talked about his Observations on the changes he saw on the Items that are available on Russian Supermarkets after the West imposed its Economic Sanctions. These changes include the fact that some Food Items are now copies of Western ones, and some are now being sourced from Latin America 

* Zelensky begging again from the West, for Usd 38 billion this Time
Ukraine’s Comedian President Volodymyr Zelensky is now again shamelessly begging the West for more Money, this time Usd 38 billion for use against Russia next Year in 2023. Makes me wonder how much already the West has given him since the start of War last February 2022

* Europe now accusing US of Profiting too much from the War in Ukraine
Top European Officials are now are now accusing the United States (US) of profiting excessively from the ongoing War in Ukraine. The Officials point out how the US is selling to them Gas Prices that are four times that of US Prices, and how the US Defense Industry has been earning a lot of Profit from the Sales of their Military Equipment and Weapons. US President Joe Biden’s new Laws to reduce Inflation in the US Economy is also seen to severely negatively affect the existing European Industries

* US puts Restrictions on HIMARS they provided to Ukraine
The United States (US) reportedly put restrictions on the High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) they gave to Ukraine so those won’t be able to fire longer ranged Missiles. The Americans are known to put restrictions on the Weapons to they sell to other Countries, just like what former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said about the American-made F/A-18 Hornet Fighter Aircraft that were sold to Malaysia. But then again I guess at least the US didn’t forbade the sale of their F-16V Viper Aircraft to the Duterte Administration like what Sweden did with their JAS-39 Gripen Aircraft

* Apocalyptic Winter could happen in Ukrainian Cities
The former Heavy Weight Boxing Champion and current Mayor of Ukraine’s Capital City of Kyiv Vitaly Klitchsko admits that it is possible that his City will lose Power, Water and Heat Supply this coming Winter due to the Russia’s continued attacks on their Infrastructure and Ukrainians won’t be able stay in their Homes anymore since Temperatures could drop to as low as minus 15 degrees Centigrade

* Russia to deliver Su-35 Aircraft to Iran instead of Egypt
American Sources are reporting that the two dozen Su-35SE Aircraft that were allocated for Egypt could be now sent to Iran instead by next Year of 2023. The delivery of the Aircraft to Egypt were stopped due to the ongoing War in Ukraine making the Americans more determined to impose their interfering Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA) Law to any Country that acquires Military Weapons and Equipment from Russia. Egyptian Pilots have reportedly already started training in Russia in preparation for the impending transfer

* FIFA rejected Zelensky’s request to broadcast Message at the World Cup
The Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) turned down a Request by Ukraine’s Comedian President Volodymyr Zelensky to share a Message of Peace before the final Championship Match of the 2022 World Cup between Argentina and France. This is as it should be, Sports should NOT be Politicized as much as possible, especially by Comedian Presidents

* Dispersed Operations Aircraft Capability needed is one Lesson of the Air War in Ukraine
Here is a great, objective analysis of the ongoing Air War in Ukraine right now, and one of the many Observations it made was the importance of Dispersed Operations capability for Combat Aircraft, and how even a few now would supposedly help the Ukrainians fight the Russians. “Dispersed Operations” is the JAS-39 Gripen’s specialty, no wonder there is talk now of sending those to Ukraine. But I am still absolutely pissed about how the Swedish Government blocked the sale of the Gripen to Rodrigo Duterte’s Administration ...

* PBBM resisting pressure to support Ukraine
Kudos to President Bong Bong Marcos (PBBM) for resisting pressure from the West to give support to Ukraine. The Philippine Daily Inquirer (PDI) is, of course, like all the shamelessly biased Pinklawan Philippine Press are known and proud to be very Pro-American, so it is but natural for them to try to pressure PBBM into supporting Ukraine also. I hope that PBBM will continue to resist such pressure …
