The first footage of the use of the Russian Gibka-S air defense system in Ukraine. For a long time, there was no information about the Gibka-S air defense system. The video shows an interview with an air defense crew and the interception of a Ukrainian heavy agricultural drone of the Baba Yaga type, which is used for military purposes, including by the Russian army.
The second video contains technical information on the Russian air defense system "Gibka-S".

Another question is: Who will pay to rebuild Ukraine? I've just heard that the infrastructural damages exceeded $500bn.
I don't want to hear idiots saying that the frozen RuZZian assets will be used for that, as they won't be.
Ol' Trump will not pay a cent, while the EU is pretty fvcked up with insane green energy targets that will drain its economy and further damage its competitiveness. 60%+ of Poland's energy comes from coal, while turning this amount into green energy would cost at least €900bn, which is far more than Poland's annual GDP.

German foreign minister Annalena Baerbock has said tonight that Germany considers deploying troops to Ukraine to protect a potential cease fire agreement if requested so by Kyiv. (Source)
Needless to say that Chancellor Olaf Scholz would never authorise this, but he's not even whistled her back yet because he can't – there's a parliamentary majority for it. And if Scholz's party is kicked out of the government in February, that majority would be the government as well.

What makes you believe that SPD will not be part of the new German government or do you mean just Scholz?
FDP may not enter the new parliament, while the Greens' idiocy, regardless of their support for Ukraine, is rejected by the majority of the German society.

@Musashi There's only two realistic coalition options: CDU plus SPD or CDU plus Greens. Strategically, a smaller junior coalition partner is preferable over a stronger one. You don't have to make as many concessions and you get more cabinet posts for yourself.
But there are two more important reasons: The last time CDU ruled in a coalition with the SPD, they lost the next election. Both parties hate that format; and even if the Blacks were open to a coalition with them it's perfectly possible that the Reds says no regardless. They have some serious wounds to lick and might actually benefit from spending time in opposition.
Moreover, the Reds are doing their utmost to distance themselves as far as possible from the Blacks; in contrast, the Greens are on a charme offensive and already touting a laundry list of concessions which they could make. Technically speaking, they've even moved somewhat to the centre in recent months, with many of their more left-leaning cadres resigning in protest.
Right now, I'm willing to put money on a Black-Green Coalition. The Greens may actually be the lesser evil in virtually every field of politics except migration.

Putin ally Konstantin Malofeyev on Trump's peace initiative: "Kellogg comes to Moscow with his plan, we take it and then tell him to screw himself, because we don’t like any of it. That’d be the whole negotiation." (Link)
Oh well. Insulting Trump's ego has never backfired before, right?

It happens. Trump is 78 years old, at that age something like that might easily slip your mind …

Assad tried that. Was told not to use chemicals weapons again and called Trump's bluff by using chemical weapons again.
Thought he was still dealing with Obummer.
A week later his chemical weapons program was a smoldering collection of ruins along with most of his fighter bomber fleet capable of delivering them.

The Ukrainians showed it multiple times that they don’t know how to use M1s. A few months ago, the Americans told them not to use these tanks to attack the RuZZians.
We have seen many videos with the Ukrainians using Bradleys effectively, on the other hand, but several of these videos showed the Ukrainians not having used them properly. For example, shooting at RuZZian IFVs at point-blank range is against any U.S. procedures and it’s plainly idiotic. It is like using a Tiger tank to approach a T-34 and shooting at the latter from the distance of 10m.
Speaking of HIMARses, they are useless without ammunition.
I don’t know where you got these 200 from if the Americans had about 500 of them in 2022, while some of them have already been donated to Ukraine. I don’t think the Americans would keep something like 40% of their HIMARSes in Europe.
