05/26/2024 GCR News Briefing //United Kingdom UK quietly buying up huge stockpile of old Soviet weapons and ammunition. The United Kingdom is buying up old stocks of Soviet and Russian made equipment with the intent to donate it to Ukraine. It’s no secret that the UK has been providing aid to Ukraine with their war against Russia, their tanks have recently been seen on the frontlines and for a while you couldn’t open the internet without seeing a video of a StormShadow cruise missile being used. While we know these weapons (and the score of tanks, arms, ammo, etc..) The problem with all of the aid is that the majority of it is from different companies and Ukraine has zero experience with some of this equipment. For decades their military relied on leftover soviet produced weapons, tanks and planes. The UK is attempting to give Ukraine weapons they will already be familiar with. Things they won’t have to wait months or years to use because their soldiers have to go through very specialized training to even know how to work this gear. If you want Ukraine to be able to use this stuff when they need it, fknd them Soviet gear. Ben Wallace who is a member of parliament and a former Army Officer he talked to reporters in Washington and said this. He has been part of the group leading the search for these weapon stockpiles. He also mentioned 23 countries around the world still have stocks of Soviet weapons s. "Large parts of the [ministry of defense] and defense attachés around the world have been looking," Mr Wallace also told the Wall Street journal that they weren’t the only people looking.. "Sometimes we've bumped into the Russians looking, by the way, in some countries, looking also for some of their resupplies because...they're running out fast," //Red Sea Houthis launch 2 anti-ship ballistic missiles towards the Red Sea.

05/24/2024 GCR News Briefing //Israel Israel accused of trying to carry out a Genocide by the International Court of Justice. Israel’s has been ordered by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to cease its offensive in Rafah. Rafah is a city in southern Gaza, currently under assault by forces of the IDF as they attempt to root out and exterminate the Palestinian terror group Hamas and other smaller Palestinian resistance groups. Currently most of not all of the Palestinians who were forced to flee the war in the north are now having to flee again. Israel isn’t likely to follow this order and the ICJ has no power to enforce it however it does put pressure on Israel as well as their support in the U.S. government. The ICJ ruling follows accusations from South Africa that Israel is carrying out a genocide. Both Israel and the U.S. have denied this claim. This ruling comes two days after International Criminal Court’s (ICC) chief prosecutor called for an arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu ,Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, as well as Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and several other, alleging war crimes by all party’s. Fighting continues in Rafah as well as northern and southern Gaza. Recently the IDF has discovered the body’s of 3 hostages which were discovered at Jabalia camp in northern Gaza. As Israel continues its operations support from the world’s international community has started to wane. Even the United States had threatened to withhold arms shipments if Israel proceeded with its assault on Rafah. //Haiti Three missionaries killed in gang ambush in Haiti Missions in Haiti Inc. posted on their Facebook that 3 of their members had been killed in an ambush carried out last night.

May 17th, 2024 Russia/Ukraine Ukraine strikes Infrastructure and military targets on Black Sea coast in massive a massive aerial attack. Last night Ukraine launched multiple attacks on several targets in Russia. The most major of these attacks was on the port being used currently by of the Russian Black Sea fleet in Novorossiysk. Also damaged was the oil depot at Tuapse. The people of Novokrossiysk were treated to almost two hours of fireworks as Russian air defense worked to take on the onslaught of explosive laden drones and missiles. Russia’s defense ministry claims to have shot down “over 100” drones. The target hit was a section of the port which I believe was the spot hit with the missile. It caught on fire after the attack.I don’t know what the missile was specifically but it’s likely it was a long range ATACM. The drones are confirmed to have been “Liutyi” drones. Liutyi (Translated- Fierce) is the in house Ukrainian made drones that carries a 167 pound warhead at least 620 miles or around 1000km. The other target was another oil production and storage facility in Tuapse, around 350 miles from any Ukrainian held territory, showing the range of these drones. I’ve added some maps to the video clips to show the locations. They are not in chronological order. I’ll look back at this incident again if I get some time. I would like a more detailed report on what actually was damaged. It seems mostly infrastructure but I haven’t seen any footage taken of the pier that was struck. I didn’t have time to do as much geolocation as I would like but thankfully some others helped with the work. -Scott Your likes and shares help me grow this page, so thank you.If you enjoy my work consider picking up a membership on Patreon where I do deeper analysis as well as other extra content..

May 16th, 2024 GCR Daily Briefing //Slovakia Slovakian populist prime minister shot in assassination attempt. On Wednesday the prime minister of Slovakia Robert Fico, was shot in an assassination attempt while he was meeting with members of his political party and supporters outside of a cultural center in Handlova, 85 miles northeast of the capital of Ljubljana. Drs. fought for several hours to save the prime ministers life and his deputy PM told BBC that it looks like he will survive. 5 shots were fired by a member of the crowd who investigators say has political motives for wanting to shoot. “a clear political motivation” was mentioned in a write up on the incident in the BBC and AP. Fico is a divisive figure in Slovakia, his pro Russian politics and anti American/western messaging have led to worries among his fellow European Union leaders that he could lead the country away from the West. With this 4th term leading the country some are worried he will lead the country away from NATO by playing to nationalist fears. . A recent protest in the capital, rallying against his politics drew a crowd of thousands. However some of Ficos biggest opposition spoke out against the attack. A quote from outgoing president Zuzana Caputova, a political rival of Fico “A physical attack on the prime minister is, first of all, an attack on a person, but it is also an attack on democracy, Any violence is unacceptable. The hateful rhetoric we’ve been witnessing in society leads to hateful actions. Please, let’s stop it.” All of this comes a couple weeks before the election in Slovakia, a country going through some of the growing pains of a fairly young independent nation where it’s people are deciding between a closer relationship with the West and the EU or with Russia. //United States A deadly accident on Monday left one Air Force instructor dead after ejection seat malfunction.

May 11th, 2024 //Ukraine Ukraine strikes at Russian oil production in Luhansk. Yesterday, Ukraine used (based on the distance) at least one U.S. supplied MGM-140 Army Tactical Missile System to strike at an oil depot in Rovenky, in the Luhansk Region. The warhead, which we have photos that show contained cluster submunitions cause several large fires to break out, damaging several storage containers located at the site, on the outskirts of Rovenky. The attack was reported by Russian sources to have caused the death of 3 people and injured seven more. This is the second attack in Luhansk that Russia has attributed to US Supplied ATACMS. The first hit Luhansk city and injured 5 people. If you’re looking for more info on Ukraine I’ll be covering the ongoing Russian push into the Kharkiv Oblast over on my Patreon.

May 9th, 2024 GCR Daily Briefing //Russia Ukrainian UAV strikes at Russian Oil Depot. Last night Residents of the Kaluga Oblast reported on telegram hearing the distinctive sounds of drones above before an explosion lit up the sky. Ukrainian forces have targeted the oil depot located in the area and caused critical damage to the facilities. The facility is located around 300KM (around 200 miles) from the Ukrainian border. This same facility was targeted once before back in March and is owned by the pharmaceutical company Pervyi Zavod. According to video employees were warned of the drones presence at around 12:30AM and around 1AM the attack occurred. On the Ukrainian side, I’m getting early reports of a large Russian assault in northern Kharkiv. Large tank columns and groups of infantry have cross the border and managed to establish several bridgeheads. The Ukrainians have responded by sending reserve units into the area. Will update later. -Scott Your likes and shares help me grow this page, so thank you.

On 3 February, the battleship fired her main battery in anger for the first time since the Korean War. She targeted concrete command-and-control bunkers as well as Iraqi artillery positions, firing 112 16” rounds between 5th to the 7th of February.” -. The American Battleship USS Missouri at one time was the peak of American navel might and power projection at sea. While the majority of her service came during the WW2 pacific theater when at the end of the war Japanese leaders met with allied command to surrender on the deck of the battleship, ending WW2 and later in the Korean War I want to talk about the twilight of the Iowa class battleships where this almost 50 year old girl showed she could still deliver the pain down range and inspire awe.

April 27th 2024 //Yemen MQ-9 reaper drone destroyed over Yemen. Earlier today anti air forces with the Yemeni Houthis shot down a U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drone that had been conducting recon operations over northern areas in Yemen. I don’t have a lot else on this incident. The U.S. doesn’t say much when we lose something. Especially when it was either a Russian or an Iranian surface to air missile that shot it down. The Houthis have a sizable stockpile of Surface to Air missiles either obtained from Iran, Russia or the leftover stockpiles of the Yemeni army. I didn’t clip the after images recorded that showed the wreckage as I was trying to save time in the video but the markings showed it as parts made by General Atomics. That was before the statement from US CENTCOM which confirmed it was indeed one of theirs. I had noticed a distinct lack of action on the Yemen front in the past weeks but that all ended these last few days as attacks with anti ship missiles kicked up again. We can’t say for sure but I believe the return to hostilities has something to do with the lack of a carrier strike group as the USS Dwight D Eisenhower has left the Red Sea area and the ships that are left in the area have pulled back to the edges of the AO. -Scott Your likes and shares help me grow this page, so thank you.

The F-22 Raptor is one of the most, if not the most dominant air to air platform in the world. Its stealth gives it a minuscule radar cross section that keeps it from appearing on enemy radar until after it has probably already fired one of its 6 AMRAAM at you. The two Pratt and Whitney F119 engines incorporate thrust vectoring into the design giving it speed and agility. This jet is capable of sustained supersonic flight without the use of its afterburners allowing it to save fuel. All of this plus its added electronic warfare suite and ability to be used in a ground attack role will make sure that the F-22 remains useful well into the next decade. What jet do you like better? The F-22 or the F-35. I’m an F-22 guy for sure.

04/21/2024 GCR News Brief //Niger The United States set to pull its troops from Niger at the demand of the Niger government. The military run government in Niger has demanded that the U.S. withdrawal its forces from the country. This is a huge blow not only to Washington who has spent upwards of 50 million dollars to build their new CIA drone base in the area but also to the neighboring countries and the Sahel region who depend on the security services that the United States provides in the area. The Sahel Region has been a hotbed of Islamic terror for the last 60-70 years but has really ramped up in the last decade. Most notably Boko Haram, The Islamic State of Greater Sahara (ISGS), Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal Muslimeen (JNIM), Islamic State in the West African Province (ISWAP) and more. These groups spread fear and violence throughout the Northern African region and have begun to spread south towards the coastal regions. //Syria US base in Syria comes under rocket attack from Islamic Resistance group. The U.S. reports minor damage to its U.S. military base Kharab al-Jir in Syria. Earlier today the base came under attack by suspected members of the group Kata'ib Hezbollah,a group supported by Iran and under the Islamic Resistance umbrella.The base was hit with a reported 5 rockets fired from a truck with a multi launch rocket system mounted to the back. The truck was later destroyed by an airstrike from US forces Kata'ib Hezbollah announced earlier today that they would resume attacks on US forces because the U.S. has not withdrawn its forces from Iraq and Syria. Another small story out of Syria that’s caught my attention and I wanted to mention too. It. President of Syria Bashar al-Assad mentioned in an interview he gave that his government had held occasional meetings with Washington in recent months. Syria is a heavily sanctioned and isolated country and it seem like they would like to change this. The U.S. cut ties with Assad in 2011 over

04/21/2024 Crimea Oldest working ship in the Russian navy and the world hit by Ukrainian attack. A Russian salvage ship the Kommuna was struck while docked at the harbor in Russian occupied Sevastopol, Crimea. A Ukrainian Navy spokesperson Dmytro Pletenchuk told media that the attack was confirmed and that damage to the ship was unknown at this time. Video taken in the aftermath shows the fire crews attempting to fight the blaze. It’s been claimed that a Neptune Anti-Ship missile was used in the attack. The Kommuna is a relic from before even the days of the Soviet Union, originally serving the Russian Imperial Navy and being launched in 1912.She went through the Russian communist Revolution and two world wars before serving now in the Russian federation Black Sea fleet. She also has the distinguished title of first double hulled ship in the Russian fleet. The ship has an interesting history and I recommend at least checking out its Wiki. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_salvage_ship_Kommuna?wprov=sfti1#History -Scott Your likes and shares help me grow this page, so thank you.

04/20/2024IraqPMF base attacked in Iraq, the attacker remains unknown. On April 19th an explosion thundered through an area of Iraq, 35 miles south of the capital of Bagdad. This area was formerly known as the “Triangle of Death” by the United States Military during the invasion and occupation of Iraq. The explosion occurred at the former FOB Kalso, the base was built by the U.S. army in 2003 and seen some of the worst fighting in the war but is now known as Calso (or Kalsu) base and operated by forces in the Iraqi military. The explosion was captured by several different cameras from civilians in the area and driving by on the nearby highway that goes into Baghdad and while satellite imagery is not yet available of the area, we believe it to have destroyed a sizable warehouse building which was used to store munitions. Large secondary explosions and statements released in local news media confirm that theory as well.

A Russian TU-22 (NATO reporting name `Backfire’) was filmed crashing this morning outside of the town of Stavropol,Russia. The bomber had carried out an attack on the city of Odessa before it was hit with a Ukrainian air defense missile that Ukraine said in a statement was a modified S-200 missile using the method used to shoot down the A-50U AWACS in February. These bombers don’t get lost in combat very often so seeing this last night was a surprise. -Scott #Russia #ukraine #military #geopolitics #news #video #europe #international #strategicbomber

04/18/2024 Ukraine Yesterday it was reported that on April 11th, 2024 Ukraine attacked Russias OTHR 29B6 (Over Horizon Radar) “container” radar array with two small, cheap one-way drone. The radar array, located at Kovylkino (Mordovia), Russia covers a wide slice of the sky as you’ll see in the images I’ve posted at the end of the video.the radars can detect objects all the way out to space for up to 3000KM or roughly 1640 miles which has its range reaching well last Ukraine and all the way to the Central European countries. it’s direction is mainly towards the east and much of the south. This radar is located roughly 500 miles from Ukraine and was carried out by Ukrainian forces behind enemy lines. At least that’s how it appears to me, they seem to have recorded the video during the operation. For any future Ukrainian air missions having this radar be out of commission will be crucial for chances of success. Russia has other radar options but losing this one is going to hurt them. Detecting aircraft, drones, and missiles is going to be much more challenging as they are likely left with more than one blind spot not covered by mobile radar. I don’t know how long this will take Russias engineers to fix but I do know it took them several years to build the array in the first place. -Scott Your likes and shares help me grow this page, so thank you.

04/17/2024 Ukraine Ukraine strikes Russian airbase in Crimea. Last night the Ukrainian armed forces launched an attack on the Dzhankoi airbase in Russian occupied northern Crimea. The base was hit with multiple ATACM (Army Tactical Missile System) at least we believe it was carried out by what I suspect to be ATACM’s, Debris left behind after the attack photographed by the Russians look to show the remains of one of these weapons. Video captured in the aftermath was put out by locals and shows a number of secondary explosions. Satellite pictures taken in the weeks before the attack shows a lot of Russian air assets being stationed here. 4x Su-25s and several different variates of helicopter. 2 KA-52’s appear in the imagery. Cluster munitions do an effective job of damaging airplanes and helicopters. If you like this kind of content check out my Patreon. I’m currently writing an Ebook for my paid members.

Not Israel

I’ve confirmed this video which I posted last night was not connected to Israel. It’s an older video from a completely dofferent incident. A thank you to Jose Antonio Iglesias Garrido who clued me into the fact that Spanish is being spoken in the video. From there I immediately removed the video for further checking. We love corrections here. Instead of being embarrassed that I made a mistake I’ve decided to use these as teaching tools for myself. I can always do better and verify more before I put information out into the world. I got too in a hurry to get info out first when I should have worried about getting the right info out. That’s my mistake. One I will be striving to correct going forward. Thank you all. I’ll be back later for some after action analysis. -Scott Your likes and shares help me grow this page so thank you.
