Winter ain't over yet folks!
I wouldn't be surprised to see a couple harsh blizzards blow through before spring.

Aye. Just like some people are going 'ha ha Winter weak' right now, we'll probably see at least one serious storm come through, and the vatniks going 'ha ha Winter strong' then.
We won't know what the overall severity of the Winter is until we get through to Spring.

Speaking from a Polish perspective, it is of course possible that winter with regular -15C nights comes in mid February and lasts until mid/end of March (there was such a winter two? three? years ago). But this is a month only.
That's nothing compared to a "nice, snowy" winter lasting from mid November until mid April. I remember a half year long winter in the mid 1990s. Yeah, I'm old, sue me
A repeat of that long winter would had been good for Russia ... for the Gas Weapon, not its troops.
BTW - nobody is capable of convincing me that the German (and other) Greens are NOT (to large degree) a Soviet and later Gazprom creation.

Russia Wants Temporary Ceasefire on January 6th for the Holidays. Ukraine offers temporary cease fire in exchange for Russian withdrawal from "temporarily occupied territories."
Large Amount of Aid Germany Previously Pledged Has Been Sent to Ukraine. Includes a lot of heavy duty trucks, armored recovery vehicles, over ninety recon UAV's, as well as things like mobile generators, generators, wool blankets, UGV's for casualty evacuation and rocket launchers for technical.
Kerch Bridge in Crimea still under repairs.
First Confirmed Documented Loss of a Ukrainian Shark Recon UAV over the Rostov Oblast in Russia, more then 200 kilometers away from front lines.

@Scottty - it is "dead per 100k men in 18-50 age bracket".
10700 is NOT a huge sample and very easily skewed. Also, some of the administrative divisions have tens of millions of people, while others have several hundred thousand.
However, Tuva (300k) and Buryatria (1M) having such outlier loss "rates" suggests those poorly populated areas (and not very wealthy?) with martially minded (Mongols! Cossaks!) inhabitants being over-represented in the Army.
The blue spot in the Caucasus - Chechnya?
I suspect that statisticians could have a field day criticising use of this data ...

List of Things Reportedly Included in America's Latest just under $3 billion military aid package to Ukraine which notably includes M2A2 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles along with 500 TOW missiles and 250,000 rounds of 25mm ammunition for their autocannons. Also dozens more MRAPs, Humvees, M113 APC's, 18 155mm Self Propelled Howitzers apparently and thousands of rounds of 155mm, 105mm and mortar ammunition including guided artillery shells and more HIMARS rockets. Also notably RIM-7 Sea Sparrow Missiles for Air Defense and 4,000 Zuni Rockets meant for use by aircraft. Apparently the Ukrainian Air Force is still operating months after its destruction.
Russia maybe facing a shortage of artillery shells with estimates on production and storage of artillery shells.
Russians Shelled Kherson During their Proposed Cease Fire, Apparently Inflicting Casualties Amongst Firefighters/Emergency Services Located There.
Russia Reportedly Recruiting Volunteers/Mercenaries from the Balkans, Including Serbians.
Short Thread Discussing the Potential Versatility of Ukrainian Air Defenses now, thanks in part due to Poland. Supposedly Sea Sparrow missiles can be used by NASAMs, Aspide and now Ukrainian Buk Launchers.

s300 for an orlan 10 doesnt sound very cost effective
I mean, the Ukrainians probably have nothing else to shoot as the Ruskies don't seem to be flying that much

its a multimillion dollar missile for a drone that costs in the 5 figures.
Okay...and?
We've seen the Ukraonians destroy Cruise missiles with fucking Stingers and Iglas.
How much something cost doesn't mean much
It's less than optimal, but if not shot down they can do more damage than that.

On one hand, good for them. On the other, aren't clusterbombs a problem because of duds going off later?
