Putin's plan to take out the power grid and have the Ukrainians freeze this winter is not going well. However there are shortages of home heating oil across Russia as vatniks across their nation freeze their asses off. Ukraine’s power grid stands strong amidst repeated Russian attacks https://news.yahoo.com/ukraine-power-grid-stands-strong-120600242.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall
Interesting thought about useful data gathering in Ukraine... every missile Russia launches leads further to their demise. Jan Kallberg, Ph.D.@Cyberdefensecom 10h Every Ukrainian downing of Russian hypersonic Kh-47M2 Kinzhal with the Patriot missiles will improve the Patriot missile intercept algorithm - and increase accuracy for all Patriot systems, a benefit for the US, the rest of NATO, and other Patriot AD users. The same goes for any RUS aircraft that is shot down. Data quality is high because it is live tested; it is not a desk job or theoretical calculation; this is data from a successful intercept. The value of the data is really high as it can kick the success rate in the long run from, let's say, 85 % to 99 % against a type of target, so if RUS in a continued war launches 20 low-yield tactical nukes using 47M2 Kinzhal against NATO targets, with improved data likely no missile makes it to target. If the data had been unimproved - 3 would have made it through AD and detonated. Therefore, providing UKR with Patriot missiles is an investment in any provider's defense and gives high defense ROI as the improved algorithm upgrades its existing systems.

The Russian money will be going to the sovereign nation of Ukraine. Putin’s $300bn Belongs to Ukraine The US, UK and Canada are reportedly set to present proposals to G7 leaders in February to finally utilize $300bn-plus in Russian assets frozen in the West. https://cepa.org/article/putins-300bn-belongs-to-ukraine/
LOL. Patriot downed Kinzhal. The best joke of the year. Inferior junk AD downed several people into 12 year in prison for showing Patriot is total junk

Upon further review --- the object falling into the river is a failed Russian Kh-47M2 Kinzhal or other large equivalent ballistic missile -- not a Ukrainian IRIS-T interceptor missile. Russian technology is junk.
