The New York Times, citing a Russian document allegedly intercepted by Ukraine, reports that Russia intends to use up to 1,000 drones, missiles, and glide-bombs against Ukrainian energy and water infrastructure in winter, especially in Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Odesa. Russia will also reportedly target the electrical switchyards at the Rivne, Khmelnytskyi, and South-Ukraine Nuclear Power Plants. In Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Odesa, Russia reportedly plans to cut electricity and heating by 90%, while causing significant disruption to their water sewerage system. The strike campaign will reportedly take place in three stages, starting with targeting electrical substation near the western borders of Ukraine used to transfer European-supplies electricity, before moving to hydro-electric power plants, and then targeting nuclear power plants at the end. In my opinion, 1,000 missiles, drones, and glide-bombs is a massive undercount. According to available information, Russia has over 12,000 Geran-2 drones in reserve, a portion of which they will likely use during the winter for strikes on energy targets. I believe that when counting drones, missiles, and glide-bombs, Russia could use up to 10,000 munitions (mainly Geran-2/4 drones) to attack energy infrastructure.

If you want to just do nuisance power cuts all you have to do is tangle shahids into high voltage power lines / hit pylons, they're all mapped out anyway No need to develop special payload if that's ever the goal

😤Russian forces attacked the Trypilska Thermal Power Plant in Kyiv region overnight, damaging its power-generating equipment, Centrenergo reported.

Ukraine’s metalurgy giant ArcellorMittal has closed its operation in Kryvy Rih, Zelensky’s home place, after devastating Russian strikes. This is comparable to Germany losing ThyssenKrupp. Russia annihilated Ukraine’s steel production (in addition to blocking the exports of its key export commodities - steel and ore) in response to Ukraine’s much-advertised campaign of long-ranged strikes which has underpinned the “tide is turning” PR campaign this year. Alas, the tide is not turning. Ukraine can inflict harm on Russia by knocking out its refineries, but the Russian response is simply catastrophic for Ukraine’s economy. That’s the basic equation of this war which remains unchanged while Ukraine is turning into depopulated wasteland and Russia is nowhere near to any semblance of economic or political crisis.

seems like opus 5.5 is plausibly good enough that solving children’s entertainment is thinkable. there’s room here for some really hyperspecialized stuff like if you only wanted your kids to watch stuff that transmitted the beliefs of your very specific culture / sect / cult

Ah yes technology demonstrators with 2.5m/pixel cameras (slightly better than sentinel) will help the war effort that can be launched in dozens per batch and are the prime target for anti satellite weapons Exposing yourself as knowing nothing is real cute lol
