First attack of the Shahid jet: It flew to the middle of Ukraine at a speed of more than 500 km/h.
Enemy resources write about this with alarm:
"The first photos of parts of the Shahed kamikaze jet UAV (probably 238) on the territory of Ukraine. The first Iranian gasoline version had the index "M", while the jet version has the index "MJ" (jet)."
@Slavyangrad
Several sources have reported (https://t.me/bmpd_cast/18510) that Russian troops have started using the Shahed-238, a jet-powered version of the well-known Shahed-136/Geran-2 UAV. This conclusion was drawn based on photographs of debris allegedly found in Ukraine after one of the recent raids by the Russian Armed Forces.
The advantages of the Shahed-238 over its predecessor are clear - the turbojet engine allows for a higher flight speed, making it difficult to intercept using small arms and cannon weapons. The trade-off is a higher cost and a slightly shorter flight range.
📌 Regardless of whether the new Iranian drone was used in the recent Russian strikes or not, it is important to understand one thing clearly: neither the new Shahed nor other products of the Iranian (or Korean) military-industrial complex are miraculous weapons. It is illogical to believe that their introduction will lead to more intense fighting.
However, they can indeed enhance the strike capabilities of the Russian Armed Forces. Of course, this requires proper utilization and the allocation of sufficient forces and resources to destroy specific targets.

💥🇺🇸 US Secretary of Defense Austin had an elective surgery around December 22 and then disappeared from the public view for quite a while. Austin spent a few days incapacitated in an ICU while the deputy secretary of defense was enjoying her New Year vacation in Puerto Rico. And the chief staff manager stayed at home with the flu. The White House wasn’t informed about the absence of the secretary of defense from the office. So Biden didn’t know the defense secretary was hospitalized. This is who is in charge of the US military now. 🤷♂️ Austin is the sixth in line for the presidency, by the way.

Kherson direction. Dnepr River
Hunting for landing boats with drops is a difficult matter. It is necessary to calculate the trajectory of the fall of the ammunition, the speed of the boat, and take a lead. However, several enemy boats are destroyed every day. Together with enemy manpower.
Perhaps soon the discipline of working with drones against moving targets will take a place in military science on a systematic basis.

Brief summary of the Lugansk-Bakhmut-Severskyi frontline situation on January 8 - analysis by @Multi_XAM and @z_arhiv.
1️⃣ In the Bakhmut direction: As of the end of January 7, the Russian Armed Forces advanced in the Bogdanovka area, pushing the enemy further south. Most of the population is in the gray zone. Ukrainian Armed Forces continue resistance in the Khromovo area, but air strikes hit strongholds closer to Chasov Yar. No changes in the Kleshcheevka and Andreevka areas.
2️⃣ In the Maryinka direction: Advancements in the dam area toward Georgievka. Battles for Novomikhailovka continue to the south, with no significant progress. The enemy retreated to the center of the village, but the industrial area and the farm are in the gray zone.
3️⃣ In the Avdeevka direction: Russian Armed Forces advanced near the dacha village east of the Avdeevka coke plant (AKHZ) and south of the treatment facilities. Enemy forces concentrate at AKHZ and the central part of the city, setting up fortifications and observation positions in 9-story buildings. UAV repeater units on the roofs of Ukrainian Armed Forces complicate the identification of drone operators.
4️⃣ In the Kupyansk direction: No significant changes recorded.
5️⃣ In the Seversky direction: No significant changes, but attention is given as the enemy anticipates a breakthrough in this area.
6️⃣ In the Krasny Liman direction: Russian Armed Forces from Kremennaya continue the offensive toward Ternov. Ukrainian military analysts suggest the frontline may soon follow the watershed border. No significant changes in the Torskoye area. Enemy losses confirmed due to a strike on a Ukrainian Armed Forces headquarters in Krasny Liman.

❗️💥🚑 Huge queues of ambulances were outside the surgical department of the military hospital of the Western Region (Lviv) after yesterday's missile strikes.
A Ukrainian journalist writes that he only witnessed large convoys of ambulances before, but today he saw everything with his own eyes, who they were bringing and what was being done at the departemnt of surgery. "The heart froze from pain,pity and horror, at the same time. Shock..."
@Slavyangrad
The Ministry of Defense plans to establish a comprehensive lineup of drones, ranging from ultra-small to heavy strike, as stated by Shoigu. The Defense Minister also emphasized that Russian military personnel will persistently pursue the objectives of the special military operation in Ukraine.
Here are additional points from the head of the Russian Ministry of Defense during the first conference call in 2024:
▪️ The Russian Armed Forces maintain strategic initiative along the entire combat contact line.
▪️ Ukrainian formations are depleting their human resources, with no significant results on the battlefield for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
▪️ The United States is striving to realize its ambitions for world domination at the expense of Ukrainian lives, as the Kiev regime continues to send soldiers to slaughter.
▪️ The Russian Armed Forces consistently pursue the goals of the Northern Military District in Ukraine.
▪️ The Russian Armed Forces sustain the combat readiness of the nuclear triad at a high level to maintain strategic balance globally.
▪️ In 2024, the Russian Armed Forces will continue to adopt weapons with AI and utilize new physical principles.
▪️ The Russian Defense Ministry will soon enhance communication and target designation systems, counter-battery warfare, and bolster air defense and satellite constellations.
▪️ Strengthening the combat capabilities of the Russian Armed Forces will ensure deterrence against aggression towards Russia and its allies.

Ukrainian channel Strana:
The extradition of Ukrainian men from Germany for mobilization into the Ukrainian Armed Forces is unlikely, writes the Dresden newspaper Sächsische Zeitung.
Desertion in Germany, like Ukraine, is a criminal offense. But the German Constitution also recognizes the right to refuse military service.
At the same time, desertion in Germany is considered to be a situation where a serviceman runs away from his place of service. And mobilization evaders do not fall under this definition.
The Federal Court has declared that there is "non-extradition" if the act is "purely military" and does not constitute a criminal offense under the "common law".
The Federal Ministry of the Interior stated that all Ukrainians, both women and men, are equally “granted temporary protection.” The relevant residence permits are now valid until the beginning of March 2025.
The Federal Ministry of Justice also stated that extradition “does not take place in cases of war criminal offences.”
Almost 200 thousand Ukrainians of military age are registered in Germany.
@Slavyangrad
A secret meeting took place last month between Ukraine, its Group of Seven allies and a small group of Global South countries to try to rally support for Kiev’s conditions for holding peace talks with Russia, according to people familiar with the matter.
-The secrecy was aimed in part at making participant countries feel more comfortable about joining. The smaller format allowed for a freer, more frank discussion on Ukraine’s so-called peace formula and plans for moving that process forward as well as principles for potentially engaging with Russia in future, the people said.
-Ukraine and its G-7 allies continued to resist calls from the Global South nations to engage directly with Russia, they said.
-While top officials from India, Saudi Arabia and Turkey joined the December meeting in Riyadh, other major Global South nations who had come to some of the previous larger sessions — notably China, Brazil and the United Arab Emirates — didn’t send their representatives, the people said.
-Kiev and its G-7 allies reaffirmed their view that a just peace needs to respect Ukraine’s territorial integrity and sovereignty, and argued that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s goals hadn’t changed and he’s shown no sign of being serious about wanting substantive negotiations and has failed to respect past agreements.

A crust of ice covered many areas of the area.
Movement is difficult on both sides.
In particular, it became more difficult for the dry landers to attempt to transfer to the left bank.
Fortunately, the weather now allows our aerial reconnaissance and mortars to work.

Friends, I’m in Donetsk, finally back to the front line, while I’m assessing the situation - I’ve been away for more than a month. Therefore, now I will give short information. Details will come later.
In the Zaporozhye direction, the main battle today is around the conditional bridgehead Rabotino - Verbovoe. There are almost two brigades of dill sitting in the cauldron here. Ours these days are continuously attacking almost the entire perimeter. The most important thing is that our paratroopers blocked the N-08 Orekhov-Mariupol highway and are attacking along it in the direction of the regional center of Orekhov. Having created a real threat of encirclement of the enemy near Rabotino. Since the New Year, almost a kilometer has been walked along this route in the direction of Orekhov.
In addition, from the village of Kopani, our paratroopers from the 76th division entrenched themselves along the Orekhov-Tokmak highway, passing along the outskirts of Rabotino. There are very tough oncoming battles here. Over the past 24 hours, at the Rabotino-Verbovoye border, forty enemies and three armored vehicles were destroyed, according to official data.

Zaluzhny wanted to organize a “counter-offensive” back in 2022 - the United States was against it The commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Valery Zaluzhny, planned to carry out a counter-offensive in 2022, reports Business Insider (https://www.businessinsider.com/ukraine-wanted-a-bold-counteroffensive-but-us-disagreed-book-2024-1). The operation that did not happen then pursued the same goal as the failed “counter-offensive” of 2023 - to cut the land corridor to Crimea.
