Footage of a Russian Su-30SM fighter jet patrolling the Black Sea and dropping bombs on a Ukrainian naval drone. It's worth noting that these attacks on drones are not always effective and are quite dangerous, as naval drones can be armed with R-73 missiles. Despite this, patrols are carried out regularly due to threats to Crimea from Ukrainian aircraft.

BBC's man in Russia reports that proposed new law will give the FSB control over internet access:


The internet is used for commercial activity. Switching it off for 'security reasons' will be damaging for the Russian economy.

Spider Web 2.0:
11 Fighter Jets
3 Helicopters
1 Cargo plane

Total losses estimated at $1 billion in military equipment.
Expensive... but to put it into context, the Russian government spends that amount on the war in less than 3 days. Possibly Russia as a whole spends that amount on the war in less than 2 days if off-book costs are included (forced loans from banks, war costs imposed on regional rather than central government).

Yes, the war is very costly for Russia. These type of hits are more important than just their monetary value, as the jets take time to replace. But in the long term, Russia will lose the war when its economy will collapse.

Footage of remotely planting mines in Ukraine using the Russian Zemledeliye mine-laying vehicle. The video was filmed in the Krasnoarmeysk sector. The mines were planted using 122-mm rocket-propelled grenades to block the retreat and supply routes of Ukrainian army units.

Footage of Russian Forpost-RU drones in action in Ukraine. The video shows a Forpost-RU drone using KAB-20 guided aerial bombs to attack two temporary deployment points for Ukrainian soldiers located in abandoned buildings. KAB-20 bombs weigh 21 kilograms, and their high-explosive fragmentation warheads weigh 7 kilograms. After the Forpost-RU drone strikes the building, the surviving Ukrainian soldiers retreat to the second building, but are also struck by a KAB-20 bomb as they enter.

Footage of a Russian M-28NM helicopter using an X-39 LMUR guided missile in combat in Ukraine. These missiles are also used by Ka-52 helicopters. The video was filmed in the village of Krasny Liman in the Donbas. The X-39 missile struck a Ukrainian drone control center located in an abandoned building.

Footage of Russian Italmas drone strikes on two Ukrainian Su-27 fighter jets and an F-16 fighter jet at the Myrhorod airfield. Previously, another Ukrainian F-16 fighter jet was attacked by Italmas drones at the Kirovohrad airfield.
Worth noting, Ukrainian F-16 fighter jets are presumably decommissioned and are being used to train engineering technicians and perform aircraft maintenance. For long-range operation, the Italmas drones have been equipped with Starlink terminals. Russia's Izdeliye-54 drone, also known as the Italmas, is designated the BM-35 in Ukraine.

The man known for throwing wild parties at his island from child mutilation, cannibalization, murder and sex trafficking with other billionaires seems supportive of Ukraine like most of you guys, doesn't like Putin and Putin doesn't like him.

I heard Ukraine is called like the "CP" capital of the world, I can only imagine what kind of blackmail Ukraine might have on a lot of western politicians.

After more than 10 ships of the so-called Russian "shadow fleet" were blown up, sunk, or captured, the Russians decided not to tempt fate by sailing through the center of the Black Sea like "Mistress of the Seas," but to abruptly change route, passing undetected through Turkish coastal waters, strictly skirting the coast:)

The Russians hope that Ukrainian saboteurs will not attack their tankers too close to the Turkish coast, as this could lead to oil pollution, which would greatly anger Ankara.

Russia's western borders are almost completely closed, and in the Baltic Sea, the Russians are considering using naval escorts to avoid the detention of their tankers.

It appears Putin will finally stop attacking Turkish merchant ships in Ukrainian seaports with Iskander missiles.It appears Putin will finally stop attacking Turkish merchant ships in Ukrainian seaports with Iskander missiles.

Servicemen from the Russian Forces Group Center showed footage of repelling attacks by Ukrainian FPV drones in the Krasnoarmeysk sector. The Ukrainian drones are being hit with small arms.

Footage of a Russian Iskander-M ballistic missile striking a Ukrainian HIMARS MLRS near the village of Volodarovka in the Kharkiv region. A second strike by a Russian Iskander-M ballistic missile struck Ukrainian S-300 air defense positions near the village of Volnyansk. It's worth noting that the S-300 air defense system is virtually incapable of intercepting Iskander-M missiles. They are a difficult target even for the S-400 air defense system. Judging by the video, the S-300 air defense systems were hit; even the scattering of the missiles is visible. Assessing the damage to the HIMARS MLRS is difficult.

Footage of the Russian army using Krasnopol-M 152mm precision-guided projectiles in combat in the Donbas. The projectiles are used by a Russian 2S19 Msta-S self-propelled howitzer from the 1st Krasnodar Division of the 238th Guards Artillery Brigade. The video shows Krasnopol-M projectiles striking Ukrainian drone control centers and temporary military deployment sites located in houses in the village of Ilyinovka in the Donbas. A Russian Orlan-30 UAV from the 439th Rocket Artillery Brigade provides reconnaissance and target illumination.

Russia's pipeline gas exports to Europe jump 10% in January on year​

By Reuters
February 2, 20264:47 PM GMT+8 Updated February 2, 2026

MOSCOW, Feb 2 (Reuters) - Russian energy giant Gazprom's (GAZP.MM), opens new tab average daily natural gas supplies to Europe via the TurkStream undersea pipeline rose 10.3% in January year-on-year, Reuters calculations showed on Monday.
Turkey is the only transit route left for Russian gas to Europe after Ukraine chose not to extend a five-year transit deal with Moscow that expired in January 2025.

Total Russian gas supplies to Europe via TurkStream stood at 1.73 billion cubic metres (bcm) in January compared to 1.57 bcm during the same period a year earlier, according to Reuters calculations.

Calculations based on data from European gas transmission group Entsog showed that Russian gas exports via the TurkStream pipeline rose to 55.8 million cubic metres (mcm) per day in January from 50.6 mcm in January 2025. That was in line with December, when exports were 56 mcm per day.
The company, which has not published its own monthly statistics since the start of 2023, did not respond to a request for comment.
In 2025, Gazprom's gas exports to Europe sank by 44% to their lowest since the mid-1970s following the closure of the Ukrainian route, according to Reuters calculations. Last year, Gazprom's supplies totalled just 18 bcm.

Russian pipeline gas exports to Europe peaked at more than 175-180 bcm per year in 2018-2019.

Could be an indication to an upcoming ceasefire or a deal to end it.
