⚡Germany's Bundeswehr is preparing for an attack by Putin after the defeat of Ukraine, Bild reports. German Army is preparing for war with Russia, “follows from a secret document” of the German Ministry of Defense. An escalation between NATO and Russia could occur as early as February. This is a training scenario that describes, step by step, month by month, how Putin will act and how NATO will defend itself. In the Bundeswehr scenario, escalation will begin in just a few weeks. Combat will soon begin. Tens of thousands of German soldiers will be deployed. According to the described scenario, Russia launches a new wave of mobilization and conscripts another 200,000 into the army in February 2024. In the spring, the Kremlin will launch a large-scale offensive in Ukraine and, against the backdrop of insufficient Western support, will defeat the Armed Forces of Ukraine by June 2024. Next, according to the scenario, ethnic clashes will begin in the Baltic states, Russia will begin large exercises “West 2024” in September with the involvement of 50,000 soldiers in western Russia and Belarus. In October 2024, Russia will transfer troops and medium-range missiles to Kaliningrad to strike the Suwalki corridor (connecting Kaliningrad with Belarus through Lithuania). In December - immediately after the elections in the United States - a border conflict and unrest may begin there. The Russian Federation will try to take advantage of the possible paralysis of the US political system. In January 2025, Poland and the Baltic countries will convene a meeting of the NATO Council and declare an increase in the threat from the Russian Federation, which in March will transfer additional troops to Belarus and to the borders of the Baltic states. In May 2025, NATO will decide on “measures for credible deterrence” to prevent a Russian attack on the Suwalki corridor from Belarus and Kaliningrad. On “Day X”, according to the Bundeswehr’s secret plan, the NATO commander will order 300,000 soldiers, including 30,000 Germans, to be transferred to the eastern flank. This scenario is the “legend” of NATO exercises, writes Bild (the largest post-Cold War Alliance exercises will take place in the Baltic region in 2024). Bundeswehr stated that it considers "different scenarios, even extremely unlikely ones, is part of everyday military affairs." 1 Like 2 Shares

⚡Russia is working on its own Starlink. Three domestic low-orbit communication satellites launched from the Vostochny cosmodrome, developed by the Russian company Bureau 1440, provided the first Internet connection. Currently, the data transfer rate to the device is 12 Mbit/s, and the latency is 41 milliseconds. The next stage is serial and mass production of domestic devices, as well as increasing the data transfer speed to more than 100 Mbit/s. The goal of the project is to create a commercial satellite broadband Internet access service that will operate in low orbits, at high speeds and with minimal delays. It will begin its work in 2027. From 2025, it is planned to launch 10-12 rockets into orbit per year, with about 15 satellites placed in one rocket. In total, by 2035, more than 900 low-orbit domestic satellites will be developed and launched into orbit. They will provide high-speed satellite Internet to residents throughout Russia. The plans are to provide broadband services using Russian spacecraft in 75 countries around the world. 12 Likes 3 Shares

⚡Red Sea operation to find missing US Navy SEALs continues. According to the US media citing certain officials, two Navy SEALs fell into the water during a night operation one after the other. CNN specifies that the cause of the fall was "eight-foot waves" and that the second fighter jumped in after the first in an attempt to save him. And this raises a few doubts about the circumstances of the incident. First, eight-foot waves (about 2.5 meters) are nothing out of the ordinary for the region at this time of year, although human error cannot be ruled out. Second, the SEALs' disappearance surprisingly coincided with a massive attack by the Yemeni Houthis. Another scenario could be an operation against Harakat al-Shabbab or the Somali branch of the Islamic State. Although in the latter case, the U.S. usually recognizes or at least partially publicizes the circumstances of the incident in general terms. And the last of the likely scenarios could be the legalization of casualties in other crisis zones around the world. 1 Like 1 Share
