Lessons learned with Russia about getting too dependent in trade relationships with autocrats who weaponize global trade and use it as blackmail. Also, the danger of having your highest tech on their doorstep and within their reach, a diversity of supply is needed in this sector and demand promises to be steady as our dependency on microchips grows. Russia can't access this technology, is forced to fight in the last century and cannot build new modern weapons systems without them. If China attacked Tawain, we could quickly be in the same boat as Russia, with a bit of additional terrorism and sabotage on other chip foundries.

Iran and Russia reach deal to produce unmanned weaponized aircraft: report
Iran and Russia have finalized an agreement to build hundreds of weaponized drones in Russian territory as the war in Ukraine approaches the nine-month mark, according to The Washington Post.
The Post reported on Saturday that Russian and Iranian officials reached the deal earlier this month and the countries are transferring designs and components of the drones to allow production to start potentially within months, based on interviews with three officials familiar with the matter.
Iran is officially neutral in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine but has faced international criticism after intelligence reports revealed that Russia has been using Iranian-made drones to attack Ukrainian military and civilian targets.
Tehran initially denied the reports but admitted earlier in November that it gave a “limited” number of drones to Russia, saying that it did so before the war began and it does not know how they were being used.
The officials told the Post that Russia could significantly increase its stockpile of weapons through the deal by acquiring its own assembly line to make the drones, as production would occur in Russia.
Multiple members of NATO, including the United States, have reviewed intelligence on the agreement, the Post reported.
Moscow has sent more than 400 drones to Ukraine, often to strike civilian infrastructure, since August, according to the outlet, which cited intelligence officials.
Russia sent a barrage of missiles to a variety of targets throughout Ukraine earlier this week, primarily targeting the country’s electrical infrastructure, after Russian forces withdrew from the city of Kherson, the only regional capital they had captured since their full-scale invasion began in February.
Through the agreement, Russia would receive necessary supplies and Iran would receive economic and political benefits as it increases its ties to Russia, the officials told the Post.
The officials told the outlet that Iran may be hoping to avoid additional sanctions with the drones being assembled in Russia as opposed to being sent there.
After seizing parts of eastern and southern Ukraine, Russia has struggled to make gains in what Russian President Vladimir Putin apparently hoped would be a quick invasion. Ukraine has retaken thousands of square kilometers of territory from Russia as part of a counteroffensive it began two months ago.

If Russia thinks it can win a drone war attacking the Ukrainain power grid, they will lose and lose fast. I'm pretty sure Poland and Ukraine has setup a joint drone factory and it is up and running, I posted a picture of it awhile back. If they defeat them on the battlefield and have the independent capability, they will start to retaliate against Russia's power grid and their attacks will be more devastating than the Russian ones on the Ukrainian grid, they have a lot of area to defend. Ukraine has the resources of the entire EU to repair and rebuild its grid, Russia does not and cannot absorb nearly the damage the Ukrainians can. They are getting low on cruise missiles and the number of drones getting through is tiny and will get smaller, by the time they get their drone factory up and running, the war in Ukraine will be over as investigations and sanctions choke off their and Iran's western or even Chinese tech support.

Russia is falling apart: how the federation turned into 'failed state'
19,224 views Nov 19, 2022
Wagner PMC owner Yevgeny Prigozhin blames the American intelligence services for the appearance of a video with a brutal execution of a Wagner Private Military Company fighter. Prisoner and PMC militant Yevgeny Nuzhin was killed with a sledgehammer by his colleagues and the video of the execution was posted on the Internet. According to Prigozhin, the victim could have been, I quote, "recruited by the CIA and sent to prison for 27 years in advance in order to infiltrate the PMC and create the conditions for his execution." Prigozhin commented on the video of the murder in the following way: "to a dog - a dog's death." Our correspondents will tell you why the real power in Russia is passing into private hands and what this can lead to.

Do they control it? Thought it was on the other side of the river.
Water supply to Crimea can be cut off after liberation of Tavriysk, says Kherson councilor
To achieve this, the Armed Forces of Ukraine need to liberate Tavriysk in Kakhovka district of Kherson Oblast, which is in Russian-occupied left-bank Kherson Oblast.
"When we are able to take control of the town of Tavriysk, located between Nova Kakhovka and Kakhovka, then we can discuss closing the sluice and cutting off water to Crimea,” he said.
Khlan explained that the main structure of the North Crimean Canal is located in Tavriysk, where it is possible to cut off the water supply, which after the blasting of the dam in Chaplynka district flows to the peninsula due to gravity.
In turn, the head of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine Kyrylo Budanov noted earlier that Russians failed to restore the water supply to Crimea in full, as it requires the uninterrupted operation of the entire system of hydraulic structures.
On Nov. 11, the Russian Defense Ministry reported on the complete withdrawal of its occupation troops from the city of Kherson, on the right-bank of the River Dnipro in Kherson Oblast.
The Russian side was forced to retreat in order to preserve the remnants of its grouping against the backdrop of a counter-offensive by Ukraine’s army
On the same day, the first units of the Ukrainian army entered the city and were greeted by a joyful crowd of local residents.
After the loss of Kherson, the Kremlin regime declared its readiness for peace talks "without preconditions."
In turn, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine replied that for this, Moscow must fulfill a number of requirements, above all – to withdraw its troops from the whole of Ukraine.
Water supply to Crimea can be cut off after liberation of Tavriysk, says Kherson councilor
Ukraine may again completely cut off the water supply to Russian-occupied Crimea, Kherson Oblast Council member Sergey Khlan said during a briefing on Nov. 15.
