In a high-stakes operation, Russian security services have thwarted an attempt by Ukrainian intelligence to hijack a Mi-8MTPR-1 electronic warfare helicopter. The plot was uncovered by a Russian pilot, who was offered a large bribe and a complex escape route in exchange for betraying his country. The Ukrainian agent, who went by the name 'Sergey,' also advised the pilot to poison his fellow crew members or use a weapon to ensure the success of the hijacking. The pilot, trained to recognize security threats, reported the contact to his superiors, and the situation was turned into a counter-operation by Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB).

Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a stern warning to Ukraine following a dramatic 9/11-style drone attack on Kazan, the capital of Tatarstan. The December 21 assault, involving eight drones, targeted residential buildings and an industrial facility, causing significant damage but no casualties. In response, Putin vowed harsh retaliation, promising that those responsible "will face many times greater destruction in their own country" and "will regret" their actions. He assured Tatarstan's leader, Rustam Minnikhanov, that all damages would be swiftly repaired. The Russian Defense Ministry reported that the attack was carried out in three waves using fixed-wing drones, with air defenses intercepting three and electronic warfare systems neutralizing another three. This unprecedented assault, deep within Russian territory and 1,379 kilometers from Ukraine, has escalated tensions further, drawing sharp condemnation from Moscow.

Russian President Vladimir Putin escalated the war with a revenge-driven drone assault on Ukraine, launching more than 100 drones on December 22, a day after Ukraine struck high-rise buildings in Kazan, Russia. The attack targeted multiple Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv, Kherson, Mykolayiv, and Zaporizhzhya, causing significant damage to businesses and apartment buildings. Ukrainian air defenses managed to intercept 52 of the 103 drones, preventing casualties, though the strikes intensified fears of further infrastructure destruction. This deadly retaliation comes after a devastating attack in Kazan, Russia, on December 21, where Ukrainian forces targeted the capital of Tatarstan, marking a notable escalation in the conflict.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has sharply criticized both Ukraine and its Western allies for their failure to address the ongoing crisis in Donbass, accusing Ukraine of betraying peace efforts. In a recent interview, Putin stated that Russia should have launched military action against Kiev much earlier, warning that any inaction would have been a "crime" against Russia's national interests.

In a bold statement, Russian President Vladimir Putin hailed the Oreshnik ballistic missile as a “game-changer” in Russia’s defense capabilities, following its successful use in a strike on a Ukrainian weapons manufacturing facility in Kazan.

The missile's deployment has raised alarms globally, as it is touted as virtually impossible to intercept by even the most advanced Western air defense systems. Putin’s remarks underscore Russia’s growing military might and serve as a stark warning to the West about the evolving balance of power in global defense.

In a decisive and powerful strike, Russian forces have targeted and destroyed a German-made Leopard tank, along with several other key military assets, in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region. Using kamikaze drones, the Russian military identified the Leopard tank through reconnaissance UAVs before launching a series of devastating drone attacks. The tank was seen engulfed in flames as it was struck multiple times. In addition to the Leopard tank, two more tanks, an M113 APC, and two pickup trucks were eliminated. Russian forces also neutralized five Soviet-made D30 howitzers and four U.S.-made M101 and M119 howitzers. This destruction occurred during a failed Ukrainian counter-attack, leading to significant losses for Kyiv in an ongoing battle for control in the region.
