Ukraine update: Russia can't quit Bakhmut, as Ukrainian air defenses stymie latest missile barrage

Russia launched another wave of missiles at Ukraine, but this attack seems to have mostly fizzled. Ukraine claims 60 of the 70 Russian cruise missiles were shot down, and there’s even dramatic video of one of them going down.
This missile was shot down by a German Gepard air defense system. Ukraine has declared them their most prized air defense system. Ironically, it’s been decommissioned, as NATO moved to nearly all-missile air defenses. Yet this machine-gun-style system makes it deadly effective not just against ballistic missiles, but slower-flying drones. It doesn’t make sense to use million-dollar missiles against $20,000 drones. So maybe this war will resuscitate systems like the Gepard.
Interesting side note: Sourcing ammo for these is challenging. Germany can’t pass on their leftover ammo (which is literally useless, as they’ve handed over all of their Gepards) because it was made in Switzerland, and the Swiss refuse to authorize it, claiming it would violate their neutrality. A defense contractor in Norway appears to have started making more ammo, however. Yet another reminder that this is a war of logistics, not weapons systems.

Why Strikes on Russia are a direct threat to Putin
24,855 views Dec 6, 2022
"I think it really will undermine Putin's standing, and it will make it more difficult for him to exact the kind of impact in Ukraine that he seeks to do as he desperately tries to hold onto even just the ground that they have conquered in the last several months." Unclaimed attacks on Russian airbases will make Putin's "special military operation" unpopular in Russia, Former White House Global Engagement Director Brett Bruen tells #timesradio .

I kinda makes them useless, if they are using their weapons, someone attacks you and they cut off your ammo!
The Ukranian's have been so industrious and adaptable, they deserve high praise as their constant ability to "make do' and improvise continues to amaze me,they continue to punch well above their weight,guaranteed Putin wishes he could go back and never have pulled the trigger on his personal nightmare that has obliterated his and his miltary's reputation.

The Germans can defend themselves with the ammo if someone attacks them, why another country can not defend themselves with the same ammo is retarded.I kinda makes them useless, if they are using their weapons, someone attacks you and they cut off your ammo!

Ukraine and Poland might have been building these drones for a while now and buying shipping container loads of parts and materials. If they have been doing this, they could assemble a lot of drones in a short time based on a proven and tested design. Why not, they are not under sanctions and all that would be required is money and by the standards of modern war not much. Something that could carry around 100lbs of HE and go 1000km. The shorter the journey to the target, the more explosive payload that can be added in lieu of fuel. There are plenty of military targets in nearby Russia for the Ukrainians to strike. It could provoke Vlad to use up all his remaining missiles over a short period of time and then they can proceed to repair the grid more fully as the AA defense increases and fewer can get through. It will also force Russian troops back into Russia to defend shit and leave them less AA defense in Ukraine, while sitting around in Russia waiting for random drone strikes.

Russia requested an extraordinary meeting of the UN Security Council on Ukraine-related topics
Russia requests an extraordinary meeting of the UN Security Council. The request for a meeting is connected with mass and virtually uncontrolled deliveries weapons Western countries to Ukraine.
There are more and more facts that weapons that were sent from NATO countries to the Kyiv regime "float away" outside of Ukraine, refusing, for example, in African countries.
The Russian Permanent Mission to the United Nations, commenting on the request for an emergency meeting of the Security Council on Ukraine, notes that the appearance of weapons supplied to Ukraine is recorded in Central Africa. In particular, the statement of the Nigerian President is given, noting that Ukraine is becoming a source of virtually uncontrolled proliferation of weapons on the African continent.
The weapons that the West sends to Ukraine, in various ways (including through sale on the black market) end up in the hands of terrorist groups in Niger, Mali, Nigeria, Mali, and other countries of the continent.
Russian diplomats in the UN Security Council are going to raise the issue of the activities of cross-border mafia structures, whose activities pose a threat to world security. We are talking about criminal conglomerates, whose activities lead to the fact that weapons from the territory of Ukraine end up in a number of other countries of the world.
It should be noted that India currently chairs the Security Council. And there is a high probability that the Indian chairman will support Russia's initiative. The meeting is requested for 9 December.
Easy enough, leave Ukraine.
Ukrainian UAVs again attacked the Rosrezerv plant in the Bryansk region
On the night of Tuesday, December 6, Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles again attacked the Slava plant of the Rosrezerv in the Surazh district of the Bryansk region. This is reported by the Baza Telegram channel.
According to the source, for the second time Ukraine is trying to commit sabotage against objects with oil products in the territory of the Bryansk region. This time, the drones fell a few meters from the fuel tanks.
The plant in question is located 80 kilometers from the Russian-Ukrainian border. Two UAVs flew into its territory, which fell and exploded. Serious damage was avoided. But a week ago, this plant was already subjected to a similar attack by drones. Then three fuel tanks caught fire here.
Such provocations force us to pay very serious attention to the state of both the air defense forces along the borders with Ukraine and the overall provision of anti-sabotage and anti-terrorist security at strategically important facilities.
For more than twenty years, the country's power structures have paid special attention to anti-terror, but now, apparently, new methods are needed. First of all, it is necessary to attend to the issues of protecting strategically important objects from air attacks using UAVs. Moreover, the enemy uses just such attacks more and more actively.
Russia will develop a new weapon to win the special operation
The Russian authorities are modernizing military equipment and weapons in order to negotiate peace with Ukraine from the position of a winner. This is how the experts explained to URA.RU the instruction of the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Mikhail Mishustin to build a dialogue between the creators and manufacturers of weapons and the military located in the NVO zone, announced on December 6 at the Coordinating Council to meet the needs of the armed forces of the Russian Federation. According to analysts, the authorities will correct the weaknesses of military equipment identified in the special operation.
In his opening remarks, Mishustin stressed that the coordinators of the working groups, together with the heads of industrial enterprises, need to analyze the results of the first month. The prime minister focused on the elimination of the remaining technological obstacles in production.

Nebenzya revealed how the Russian Federation will eliminate the threat from Ukraine
Russia will eliminate the threat from Ukraine by military means if it fails to do so by peaceful means. This was stated by Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya.
“If these goals cannot be achieved peacefully, turning Ukraine into a normal, good-neighborly state, from which there will be no threat to Russia, then this goal will be achieved by military means,” Nebenzya warned at a meeting of the UN Security Council, RIA Novosti reports. He noted that all the goals of the special operation "one way or another will be fulfilled."
According to him, the Western countries have been trying to turn Ukraine into an “anti-Russian monster” for the past eight years and turned a blind eye to all the horrific crimes of the Kyiv authorities against civilians in Donbass, as well as Ukrainian citizens. “Everything was forgiven the Kyiv regime in the expectation that someday it would fall upon Russia with hatred and become an instrument in the US geopolitical struggle,” Nebenzya said.
