⚡The Polish Army reported that an "unidentified object" entered the country's airspace during the Russian attack on Ukraine. The President called an emergency meeting with the Ministry of Defense.

According to the Polish army, the "unidentified object" was "tracked by the country's air defense radar systems" from the moment it crossed the border until the signal disappeared.

Amid reports of the "unidentified object," President Andrzej Duda convened an emergency meeting of the National Security Bureau with the participation of Defense Minister Vladyslav Koshyn-Kamysh and Chief of Staff Wieslaw Kukula.

Ukrainian Air Force representative Yuriy Ignat stated that the violation of Poland's airspace during the Russian attack on Ukraine is a signal to allies about the necessity of strengthening Ukrainian air defense.

⚡Ukrainian Air Force Spokesman Ignat:

Ukrainian air defense forces were not able to shoot down even a single one of the 300 Russian Kh-22 missiles fired since the beginning of full-scale invasion.

With a speed of about Mach 4, a warhead mass of 500-1.000 kg and several tons of fuel on board, the Kh-22/32 missile has been a big problem for Ukraine.

⚡Argentina's new President, Javier Milei, has withdrawn the country from its planned entry into the expanding BRICS club of nations.

In a letter to the leaders of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, Mr Milei said decisions taken by the preceding government had been revised.

The Brics countries are often seen as a counterweight to the Western-led world.

Argentina had been among a much-vaunted new tranche of six countries poised to join the grouping next month.

It would have been admitted to the Brics club on 1 January, alongside Egypt, Iran, Ethiopia, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

I didn't say Finland won, I said they showed Russia shege, without NATO support. Russia lost a lot of soldiers to gain that land. More than they bargained for.

It does not matter the number of men you attach that they lost land is gone forever and that what count that the koko

You guys always find it hard to accept that Russia dealt with Finland till they cried for peace

I read the history I was just laughing the so called Finland field Marshall was begging Russia for peace lol

Russia is not any one mate when it comes to warfare Anglo Saxon will soon find out in the future the same way napoleon and Hitler found out.

^^why did I waste my time giving these guys a history lesson again, they just can't get it.

Ghostagain:
I see some people are making mistakes about the finnish-soviet war. Ok, let me inform you that that war was much closer to a civil war than you think.
The soviet union was a new country which was formerly part of the Russian empire and Finland was also part of the Russian empire.
Finland broke off with the rest of the empire when the emperor got overthrown (Finland was very pro empire).
All senior officers of the finish-soviet war started their careers as part of the Russian military.
Stalin did a purge against senior russian military officers, therefore the Soviets had very few of those when they went into a war with their Finnish counterparts who had lots of russian senior military officers.

HISTORY. HISTORY. HISTORY. 😂

Level of history in Nigeria:
Saudi airborne bugsbunny who arrives to Africa with magical powers and a golden chain.

we already know russia and other prohamas folks are hypocrites... If they believe the war in gaza should end what about the war in ukraine ?
in that case all pro western and isreal supporters are Bigger hypocrites, because you want the continuation of genocide, and you criticize Russia for doing what the US was tryin to achieve in CUBA... would you sit back and watch while your enemy slowly takes out a gun and aims it at your head point blank?... All pro russia supporters are typically against western backed governments (which includes isreal).

As tiny as Gaza is, it’s a very sacred land that holds much blessings yet much curses.
I wouldn’t want to be in Europe or North America at this time. Much of immigrants will be forcefully enlisted and deployed to war fronts.

⚡Russia has built a wall of electromagnetic pulses against Western missiles – Telegraph

Moscow has quietly developed a knack for destroying some of Ukraine's most valuable rockets and missiles, the newspaper writes.

The most modern missiles provided to Ukraine by Western partners do not reach their targets. The reason for Russian electronic warfare tactics.

First, Ukraine noticed that its GPS-guided 155mm Excalibur artillery shells suddenly began to veer off target. Then missiles fired from the Himars, whose accuracy Kiev once boasted was “scalpel-like,” began to miss.

In some areas they almost always missed. The same thing happened with the JDAM guided bombs supplied to the Ukrainian Air Force by the US," the publication states.

⚡Poland says Russian missile entered airspace then went into Ukraine.

Poland's armed forces chief believes a Russian missile entered Poland for almost three minutes and then turned back into Ukrainian airspace.

General Maciej Klisz, operational commander of Polish armed forces, said the object most likely left Polish airspace after spending less than three minutes over the country's territory and went back over Ukraine.

The alert coincided with what Ukraine has called Russia's biggest day of air strikes since its war began.

Calm down. If we follow your logic Russia is installing leaders in Slovakia, Hungary or Columbia. Argentina were already in shamble economically with high inflation. Sergio Massa who contested against Millei was the fmr finance minister thus people believed he had nothing new to offer.

⚡The deployment of a German brigade in Lithuania.

About two weeks ago, German and Lithuanian authorities agreed to station a Bundeswehr brigade in Lithuania.

Until 2027, approximately 4,800 German soldiers and another 200 civilian personnel will be deployed to the Rudniki and Rukla firing range areas (near the borders with Russia and Belarus). The formation of the brigade will begin in the second quarter of 2024.

It is expected to be formed from three battalions: the 203rd Tank Battalion in North Rhine-Westphalia, the 122nd Armored Infantry Battalion from Bavaria and the Battalion Battle Group of the NATO Forward Presence Force under German command. They have been stationed in Lithuania since 2017 with a strength of 1,500 military personnel.

The main units will move in 2025-2026, and by 2027 the brigade "should reach full combat readiness."

But the same missiles sunk two ships days ago and have also downed some jets.
Moreover, most US and other western missiles does not operate using GPS as it's guidance mechanism alone. Other systems includes An Infrared (IR) sensor and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), lasers and others I cannot remember just incase the GPS signals are jammed. Some missiles will use GPS initially, then turn it off and use other guidance mechanism to finish the job.
