President Zelenskyy thanks Finland for its support.

The weather gives this video a very cinematic look. Of course it is always a treat to see Leos painted in AFU colors. Kinda interesting how now we see all these videos of western tanks in the service of the AFU and don't even think twice about it. Not that long we were worried about sending any kind of western made tanks to Ukraine.

To lighten things up a little, and show a good example of how some Russian elites in Putin's circle try to portray themselves to the Russian people versus how they really live. Look it Liza Peskov's Spartan lifestyle, they should film 300 Part 3 about her life in France.

The Netherlands continues to impress. A general election is scheduled in the Netherlands for 22 November, which is expected to alter the makeup of the current governing coalition. According to Ollongren, support for Ukraine will be tailored to its evolving needs and could include advanced drone technology. Priorities will continue to focus on air defense, ammunition, and air force assistance, following the establishment of an F-16 training center for Ukrainian pilots by the Dutch, Danish, and other NATO allies.

Always nice to see these things taken out, oh and the Ukrainian soldier has a beautiful singing voice that you hear at the end of the clip.

Nothing really to add that the description does not say except, I like the choice of music in this video more than the sniper video Euromaidan Press posted yesterday.

I brought up this fine organization before. Was hesitant to bring this campaign up because I don't speak Czech and did not know if it was real. Guess it is. Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter for Ukraine (weaponstoukraine.com)

Careless smoking?

I found this news interesting as someone who has been following the 2008 Russian invasion of Georgia. Different post of the AFU taking out a BMP-1U without the 18+ restriction. I know some folks don't like clicking external links.

Can't help but feel that it just makes Ukrainians look like the warmongers and Putin the good guy in the eyes of people who have not really been following this war or will even read the article. Unfortunately more than enough people still judge a book by its cover. I have seen so much victim blaming on the internet regarding this war while I have been following it on places like Twitter and YouTube, that I do not want the Russian propaganda machine be given any ammunition even accidentally. So many individuals already believe that if Ukraine just accepts Putin's demands, we will have not "peace" but true peace in Europe. No way around it, this cover just does not look good. Going by the "Readers added context", for this cover on Twitter I'm not the only one who has these thoughts.

Reminded me of this post. Never seen this footage, very dramatic music.

Speaking of The Economist. Here is a recent cover they used. I'll just let Mr.Golub say it for me.

I know Steve told us to cut back on the China related talk, but this is cool what the Republic of China otherwise known as Taiwan is doing.

This was posted shortly after David D said this was confirmed on his Live on X stream. One less RU SU-25.

Kaja Kallas saying things I agree with again. @dan/california should like this, I remember he complimented her looks before. Honestly I agree.

Original article: Top German journalist received €600,000 from Putin ally, leak reveals (The Guardian) I hope no German poster here thinks I'm trying to single out Germany. I am not going to name any names, but I think our side of the Atlantic also has some journalists taking Russian money.

British NAFO fellas earning their hard earned CIA money. "The Company" appreciates your service. Never change guys.

Some OSINT account posted this earlier, can't believe I forgot to post it here. Well NEXTA has posted it as well . Better late than never.

Neat.

Bravo Lithuania! If I'm not mistaken, you are referring to the mutual defence clause. Mutual defence clause (europa.eu)

On ATACMS for Ukraine, don’t settle for a job half done (BreakingDefense) Preach it, brothers! Oh and the name of this website is very appropriate for this op-ed.

Imagine how angry the Russian delegation would be if the President of Kazakhstan greeted them in Ukrainian.

Your Friday morning (or whatever time it is in your time zone) F-16 related news gentlemen.
