Some interesting stuff in the Times today (behind a paywall):
- Mark Galeotti article on the recent Ukrainian drone attack: how it highlights the weaknesses in Russia’s defence; the lack of options for Putin to respond ( whilst unwelcome, Russia’s extensive drone attacks are just more of the same); Ukraine clearly winning the espionage war ( assassinations, sabotage etc - none of which seems to happen in Ukraine)

- How drones changed modern warfare and how they are likely to evolve - and countermeasures

- Matthew Syed article about Russia’s UK ambassador claiming that the UK is uniquely implicated in the Ukrainian drone attacks on Russia- apparently UK provided significant targeting support to Ukraine and as a consequence the UK should be prepared for significant retaliation, possibly a massive cyber attack

I'd like a cyber attack on the Russian embassy in London, but we're probably too 'correct' to do that.

God in heaven ! There was me thinking that he was one of Mr Genocide's puppets.
Perhaps the tide is turning.......
It’s is very telling as only a couple of weeks ago he was spouting Putin bollocks.
He is more likely to see cracks in putins power base long before anyone else outside of Russia.

While these Ukrainian drone attacks have been getting lots of attention, it’s worrying to note that Russia has been making a fair bit of progress on the ground in recent days. It’s not all good news.
