Russian missiles are wiping out military industries plus military personnel and weapons in Ukraine
Zelensky's Plan B was to produce weapons in Ukrainian factories to make up for the loss of Western shipments. Scratch that idea.
Here’s your air strike update for Jan 11, 2024

Retaliatory missile strikes on Ukraine. The continuation of Armageddon follows. The Armed Forces of Russia on the night of January 11, 2024 conducted the next missile strikes on enemy facilities. The Russian Air Force disabled strategic capacities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, striking key facilities of Ukrainian defenses with missiles of three dangerous classes.
The Russian Air Force is methodically destroying the rear of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces, preparing for a large combined arms operation. High-precision weapons were fired against military facilities and warehouses, workshops for the production of UAVs and other military equipment.
The main strikes are now aimed primarily at objects associated with military industry and logistics. This is all in the continuation of the incredibly powerful New Year's srikes of the Russian Aerospace Forces, which disabled a large number of strategic production capacities of Ukrainian weapons, including long-range missiles.
[It is interesting to note that these strikes on military, or strategic targets were in retaliation for strategically irrelevant Ukrainian strikes against mostly just civilian targets. When the Ukronazis get desperate – due to losses on the battlefield – they kill innocent civilians (just like the other criminal regime backed by the US in the Middle East). When Russia retaliates, it kills military personnel and destroys military assets]
Russian troops struck massive blows to enemy objects in several regions of Ukraine, using hypersonic Kinzhals, Kh-101s, and Kh-101/555s, which were launched from the Tu-95ms.
Tu-22M3 long-range missile carriers used Kh-22/32 cruise missiles and the RF Armed Forces used Geran-2s [drones]. From Crimea, the Iskander-M and P-800 Onyx were launched.
About 100 hypersonic missiles struck military and military-industrial targets in Kyiv, Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk, Krivoy Rog. The lion's share of such strikes fell on Ukrainian facilities at which drones and rockets were produced. [I can’t recall ever reading that this many hypersonic missiles were launched in any 24 hr period. There can be no doubt whatsoever that the Kiev regime and the combined West are flummoxed by this and ready to throw in the towel]
Air- and ground-launched missile strikes on Kharkov oblast were repeated at night. Kharkov: The main strike zone is the Kiev city district. One missile hit the educational workshop of the lyceum of the FED machine factory.
In Kharkov, workshops of four factories that made UAVs and elements of artillery systems were struck by surprise. A missile fell into the workshop of the Kommunar association, which specialized in the production of missile control systems. There were also strikes on headquarters, barracks and military equipment park of the Academy of the National Guard. Our missiles attacked an officer school in Kharkov, where the enemy was preparing and immediately sending officers to the front from the Ukrainian territorial defense and nationalist divisions of Kraken. The barracks and headquarters were destroyed.
[For those unfamiliar with the Kraken, these are true Nazi street thugs. They are famous for having shot 100 of their own fellow Ukrainians in the back for retreating under fire. Story here: https://www.farsnews.ir/en/news/14010528000400/MD-'Kraken'-Nainaliss-Gn-Dwn-00-Ukrainian-Servicemen-Wh-Fled-Amid. I am happy to see them bite the dust]
Kryvyi Rih [Krivoy Rog in Russian] – strike on the shopping center Solar Gallery, actually used to fulfill military orders. The storage facilities and the drone production workshop in the territory of the Sun Gallery shopping center, where orders of the Ukroboronprom [a Ukrainian defense plant] was carried out, are affected. Another munition struck the railway tracks of high-speed tram, which were used for military needs. In addition, several warehouses with ammunition and fuel and lubricants were destroyed in this area.
Khmelnitsky - in addition to the Konstantinovo airfield, strikes on Shepetovka, the Logistic Center for Western Weapons. Explosions also thundered in Shepetinovka - a large transport hub through which Western weapons are transferred.
Zaporozhye - a strike on the infrastructure facility led to the disconnection of water and power supplies.
In the Kherson oblast, powerful explosions followed missile strikes.
Geran drones struck in the Odessa oblast. Explosions were recorded in Odessa [city] and Ilyichevsk, with secondary detonation of targets.
Geran UAVs continuously attacked targets in Ukraine. Air raid alerts sounded in the Nikolaev and Kharkov oblasts of Ukraine and the part of the Kherson oblast controlled by Kyiv. The new drone types entered the Kherson region towards the Krivorozhsky district of the Dnipropetrovsk oblast. In Dnepropetrovsk itself 4 powerful explosions sounded. The air defenses of Ukraine are no longer working.
The next wave of strikes of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in 2024 again fell on industrial facilities related to the military-industrial complex. Representatives of the Ukrainian Air Force recognized that the strikes were inflicted on targets in the Kharkov, Dnipropetrovsk and Khmelnitsky oblasts, as well as in some parts of the Zaporizhzhya oblast. They admitted that the four missiles of the Kh-47M2 Kinzhals, six 9K720 Iskander and eighteen Kh-22, Kh-101 and Kh-101/555 missiles surprised their targets. This attack became part of a large-scale increase in the intensity of Russian missile attacks on military facilities in Ukraine, during which Russia inflicted the largest missile attacks in its history. [I have been reporting on these intensified attacks for roughly 2 weeks so far.]
Ukrainian air defenses is not capable of intercepting Kh-22 air-based cruise missiles, which have been in service with the RF Armed Forces for more than 60 years and which are launched from Tu-22M3 bombers. Russia takes the Kh-22 from its huge reserves, which it inherited from the Soviet Union and which have been very well preserved over the past three decades. [It makes sense to use these older, slower missiles now that a lot of the Ukrainian air defenses have either been destroyed or have depleted their intercept missiles trying to shoot down Russian missiles from previous raids. Previously, these older missiles might possibly have been shot down, but not now]
It is significant that, unlike previous raids, the Ukrainian authorities acknowledged the inability to intercept massive raids. The Ukrainian military air defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said that “not all air defense missiles failed to bring down their targets.” [The use of the Russian word “mol,” suggesting doubt, indicates this was probably a cagey way of saying none of the air defense missiles scored any hits] The air defense of Ukraine choked on the new attack.
PS. Russia has not yet used that class of tactical ballistic missiles in Ukraine, which are considered the most difficult to intercept, namely Zircon missiles. This is a hypersonic missile with a trajectory that is impossible to predict. These missiles are launched from surface ships and submarines of the Russian Navy, and Russia will begin to use them from ground launchers in 2024. The Zircon is one of the first missiles in the world to use a hypersonic planing apparatus.
The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are finishing off what the Ukrainians did not have time to steal. Zelensky’s "Plan B" collapses under the blows of Russian missiles. “Plan B”: After the failure of the European Union and the United States, to finance the further military fantasies of Kyiv, allegedly Ukraine was supposed to acquire its own production of weapons. The destruction of the latest defense plants will deprive the Banderite [Nazi] regime of opportunities to conduct military operations. The defense plants remaining at the disposal of the Banderites are being methodically eliminated by Russian strikes.

The Russian army hit facilities in Kharkov that are used for military purposes
Situation in the special operation. Tonight, the Russian army hit objects in Kharkov, which are used exclusively for military purposes. In the city, as you know, there are many enterprises at which military equipment is produced and repaired. According to eyewitnesses, several powerful explosions thundered. Among the possible places of arrival are the FED plant and the hotel where foreign mercenaries were stationed.
And news from the Ministry of Defense. Over the past day, missile troops, artillery and drones destroyed two enemy ammunition depots, 119 gun crews at firing positions, as well as personnel and materiel in 126 regions, were affected. In total, the enemy lost more than 700 people killed. The most difficult battles are in the Donetsk region.

Laura K’s brilliant satire
South Africa condemned for trying to stop a genocide
Their court action is obviously a war crime
LAURA K
11 ENE 2024
The international community (Britain, America, Israel, and the countries too afraid to stand up to them) have reacted with fury as South Africa attempts to stop a genocide. South Africa has launched legal proceedings at the International Court of Justice to halt Israel’s attempts to liberate Gaza by turning everything there into a heap of dust with an Israeli flag on it.

Israeli newspaper: Israeli army ordered the killing of Israeli civilians and soldiers on Oct 7
**
War correspondent: Since June 2022, 408 thousand soldiers’ obituaries have been published in Ukraine
Over the period since June 2022, about 408 thousand soldier obituaries have been published in the Ukrainian media and other sources. As a rule, obituaries are published by the official portals of village and city councils, as well as by relatives of deceased militants of the Kyiv regime on their pages on various social networks.
At the same time, as military correspondent Alexander Kots reports in his Telegram channel, citing network expert Ruslan Tatarinov, the real number of irretrievable losses suffered by the Ukrainian army since the beginning of the Russian special operation most likely exceeds the number of published obituaries. This is due to the fact that Kyiv simply does not report some of its losses.
There are often cases when commanders of Ukrainian Armed Forces units hide their losses in order to continue receiving the salaries of fallen servicemen for some time. In addition, there are no obituaries of military personnel listed as missing in Ukrainian sources.
According to the military correspondent, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are currently suffering the greatest losses in the area of their “bridgehead” in Krynki on the left bank of the Dnieper in the Kherson oblast, from where at least 30 obituaries are received daily. And this takes into account the fact that most of the bodies of the militants liquidated in Krynki are not collected.
In addition, a lot of obituaries of Ukrainian military personnel are published in the front area near the city of Kupyansk in the Kharkov oblast, as well as in the Sinkovka and Artemovsk [Bakhmut] regions.

WE MUST FIGHT FOR THE TRUTH AND THE RIGHT TO TELL IT!! THE FIRST AMENDMENT IS BEING INCREASINGLY CANCELLED
BTW, reports of Westerners denied their free speech and free press rights show that the West is actually LESS free than China and Russia in ways that count. We need to understand that allegations of a lack of freedom in other countries are nothing but propaganda!

The US, the ICJ and Gaza
http://www.diwaninc.com/uncategorized/the-us-the-icj-and-gaza/
It’s hard to predict how the ICJ will rule on the Israeli genocide.
The whole world knows full well that Israel is committing genocide in Palestine, but the US denies it, of course.
Blinken has said, lying through his teeth, that the S. African case against Israel is “without merit,” but out of the other side of his mouth, he is telling Israel it needs to kill fewer, but without setting a number. I’d like to ask Blinken how many innocent civilians may Israel murder before we are allowed to call it genocide. And how many innocent people need to be murdered in cold blood before a case of genocide before the ICJ would have merit.
What S Africa fails to understand is that the ICJ is a lackey of the Russia-hating US Empire.
This kangaroo court decided to go after Putin to please the Russia hating Neocons in Washington and their clones in Europe, so they invented the preposterous charge of “kidnapping” based on the fact that Russian officials saved war orphans, for example, in Mariupol from the Ukrainian Nazis – who are suspected of organ harvesting – by sending them to Russia.
What the ICJ Nazi sympathizers failed to acknowledge is that Mariupol is now officially part of Russian territory and will never again belong to Ukraine, which committed war crimes against Russian speakers in territories that once officially were recognized by the Nazi-sympathetic West as belonging to Ukraine. Using the US’ own logic of the R2P – responsibility to protect – the Russians assumed this responsibility and did indeed protect these orphans from imminent danger of being killed for their organs or at least being harassed for being Russian speakers.
But the ICJ, being a lackey of the US, ruled that Putin was guilty of kidnapping. In turn, Russia issued an arrest warrant for false arrest for the ICJ judge who “convicted” Putin of kidnapping.
Thus, we can see that the ICJ will almost certainly come down on the side of the criminal occupying entity whose genocidal efforts are fully supported by the US empire, which is just as criminal as the entity.

Video shows ‘assassination’ of 3 young Palestinian men, Israeli jeep running over a body
Israeli forces raided Tulkarem in the occupied West Bank, where they killed three young Palestinian men, shooting at their incapacitated bodies before running over them.
BY SHATHA HANAYSHA AND LEILA WARAH JANUARY 9, 2024 2
It should be no surprise that the embedded video link no longer works. The entire West is in the business of overruling truth regarding Israel.
