Russian forces in Ukraine are using a highly mobile and technologically advanced mortar that's designed to cause maximum damage, with minimal risk to its operators. The 120mm 2B23 Nona-M1 is a towed weapon that features a rifled barrel, a semi-automatic mechanism and is breech-loaded.

It can be fired remotely, so the crew do not fall victim to counter-battery fire from Ukrainian forces, a battlefield tactic at which the Ukrainians have proved to be adept.

It is designed to engage enemy positions located in the open or in field shelters, from command and control points to lightly armoured targets.

The Nona-M1 can fire high explosive projectiles and finned bombs with a high degree of accuracy, with a maximum range of 8.8km and a minimum of 900 metres with high explosive projectiles.

It can fire nine rounds per minute using a high explosive rocket projectile or 11 rounds per minute with an explosive bomb. While the mortar is usually towed behind a truck, requiring a short amount of time to be set up for firing, Russia also produces a self-propelled tracked variant called the 2S9 Nona

Even Ukraine has expressed interest in buying KAAN. Ukrainian Ambassador to Turkey, Vasyl Bodnar, recently said: “We (Ukraine) will not only purchase the KAAN fighter jet, but we will also utilize it, and we know where it will be deployed.” He added that Ukraine is closely monitoring the development of the fifth-generation “KAAN” fighter jet. Bodnar expressed confidence that KAAN has the potential to stand on its own with other 5th-generation fighter jets like the American F-35 and F-22.

Ukrainian teams have also been “actively” participating in the KAAN project, the Ukrainian ambassador has revealed. While it is a significant achievement for the Turkish defense industry, experts feel that the haste with which it is pursuing the project would hinder the aircraft technology from venturing well. The world’s top military powers each have fifth-gen jets, but Russia, China, and the US are all facing problems with their fighters.

The US built the first 5th generation fighter – the F-22 Raptor, which is no longer in production. The US then followed it up with the F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter. Russia has the Su-57 Felon, and China has the J-20. While the manufacturing countries claim them to be 5th generation, they don’t meet all the criteria to fit in the category.

To qualify as a fifth-generation fighter, an aircraft must have certain features like stealth capabilities to avoid detection and the ability to cruise at supersonic speeds without engaging its afterburners, among other things. All these 5th-generation development programs have faced problems with stealth technology, engine development, and maintenance.

So, after the inaugural flight, experts will observe how Turkey makes KAAN stealthy enough to meet the 5th-generation fighter criteria.Turkey’s haste will only compound these problems. 

Ankara is powering KAAN with two General Electric F-110 engines, also used on fourth-generation Lockheed Martin F-16 jets. Future developments may include the use of an indigenously developed TEI engine.

U.S. President Joe Biden called Russian President Vladimir Putin a "crazy SOB" during a fundraiser in San Francisco on Wednesday. Speaking to a small group of donors, Biden said the climate crisis was an existential threat but that geopolitical risks could not be discounted.

"This is the last existential threat. It is climate. We have a crazy SOB like that guy Putin and others and we always have to worry about nuclear conflict, but the existential threat to humanity is climate," Biden said.

The Kremlin reacted Thursday, saying Biden's comments were "boorish" and more a humiliation for himself than for Putin. Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov said it was likely there had been an attempt "to look like some cowboy from Hollywood, but frankly I don't think it's possible."

Vladimir Putin remains intent on trying to defeat and dominate Ukraine two years after launching an invasion that has caused more than half a million casualties, western officials said in a fresh assessment of the war. However, Putin is not thought to have any clearcut medium-term strategy, the officials added. 

“We do not believe Russia has a meaningful plan beyond continuing to fight in the expectation that Russian manpower and equipment numbers will eventually tell,” they said. The officials also said they believed that “sanctions are hitting the Russian military complex hard”, causing severe delays and higher costs as Moscow scrambles to deal with shortages of western components.

As aid stalls, US Congress questions arise on how Donald Trump would handle Ukraine, if re-elected, how Europe help financial assistance for Ukraine's to fight against Russia. With 2nd anniversary approaching, Kiel Institute for World Economy shows US, Germany, UK, Denmark, and Norway are top five countries respectively contributing financially to Ukraine. Japan, Netherlands, Canada, Poland, and Sweden round out the top 10 in that order, data from January 2022 to January 2024.

Earlier this month, the US Senate passed with bipartisan support a $95.3 billion foreign aid bill, which includes $60 billion to Ukraine, but it has not yet passed the House.

Feb 10, Trump said to encourage Russia whatever the hell they want any NATO member country that doesn’t meet spending guidelines on defense in a stunning admission, he cannot abide by collective-defense clause at heart of the alliance if reelected.

More US sanctions against Russia are coming. Here are latest developments.

Sanctions, will be imposed Friday in response to Alexey Navalny's death sanctions also come 1day b4 2nd anniversary of Russia's invasion. Prior to announcement, US Joe Biden said on Friday, he will impose sanctions directly on Putin, who was “responsible” for Navalny's death. Biden made comments after meeting with Navalny’s widow and daughter, Yulia and Dasha Navalnaya, in San Francisco, California.

The president expressed his condolences to family, as well as his "admiration" for Navalny’s "extraordinary courage & his legacy of fighting against corruption.

Commentary: Two years on, where is Russia’s war on Ukraine going?. Russian defences have proven more sophisticated than expected, while the West has been unable to normalise assistance to Ukraine, says Pusan National University’s Robert Kelly.

Feb 24, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin sent his army into Ukraine in violation of repeated Russian assurances against invasion.

The war was to last a week or two. Mr Putin anticipated a “blitzkrieg” - a rapid victory which would present the West with a fait accompli. Before the West had time to react, the war would be over, and the West would have to adjust to new facts on the ground.

Russian army bogged down in the outskirts of the Ukrainian capital and had to withdraw. In the east it penetrated along a broad front, but not deeply. It only took about 20% of Ukrainian territory. Importantly, it did not reach the Dnipro River, which bisects Ukraine, and therefore could not approach North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) territory.

Later in 2022, Ukraine counterattacked, rolling Russia out of about half of its conquests. In 2023, Ukraine tried a much larger offensive. This failed badly, resulting in a stalemate by the onset of winter. Russian defences were far more sophisticated than analysts had expected after its poor defensive showing in 2022. In the last six months, the frontlines have hardly moved.

Anyway, the war is hurting it economically, but not as much as expected. But it hurt world GDP growth is sluggish, and earlier predictions of contraction have also borne out into many nations. But not China, India and a few other players in the Global South have continued to trade with Russia going and keep attack Ukrainian folks and Putin like to do his killing.

February 24 this year marks the second anniversary of the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war and past century, experiencing 2-WW-wars boasting significant advancements in civilization, human society once again witnessed a large-scale war persisting for 2-years beginning of this 21st century. 

Base on war reports on Russia / Ukraine, casualties on both sides may exceed 800,000 to date. While, in Middle East, conflict between Hamas / Israel has been ongoing for nearly five mths, with death toll on both sides exceeding 30,000 people, with nearly 29,000 deaths in the Gaza Strip. The simultaneous occurrence of these 2-wars has torn world apart, compounded by anti-globalization and geopolitical competition, which greatly alter global political and economic landscape.

On Feb 17, Singapore’s Defense Minister Ng Eng Hen warned at 60th Munich Security Conference (MSC) wars have broken out successively in Europe & the Middle East. This world cannot afford to have three (3) unstable war zones simultaneously, & every effort must be made to prevent conflicts in Asia. He also cautioned, “if indeed there's conflict for whatever reason between US / China, I think we'll have blighted our futures for the next, (well!), 10, 20, 30 years.”

Observers at the recently concluded MSC noted a prevailing sense of pessimism across Europe. Last year, Western nations held high expectations for Ukraine’s resistance against Russia. Providing military aid posed little challenge for the U.S. and Europe, with most Western countries staunchly opposing Russia.

However, this year has seen a significant shift in the situation. Ukraine encountered in the conflict, transitioning to a comprehensive defensive posture following counterattacks.

During the MSC session, Ukraine military fall back from the strategic town of Avdiivka in eastern Ukraine. The faced by U.S. and Western nations in supporting Ukraine have become apparent; fail by U.S. Congress has to postponed a bill allocating billions of dollars in military aid, and Europe struggles to meet the ammunition demands for Ukrainian military.

Adding to Western govts’ concerns is growing traction on Donald Trump, who harbors skepticism towards NATO who opposes financial support for Ukraine. The prospect of Trump returning to White House raises risk of a halt in military assistance to Ukraine...in a back step on Ukrainians folks.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky said at least 31,000 Ukrainian soldiers have died in the war with Russia, in a rare admission of his country's losses. CNN cannot independently verify that figure, but US officials estimate the toll could be closer to 70,000.

Zelensky said former US President Donald Trump will be “against Americans” if he chooses to support Russia over Ukraine. Speaking to CNN, Zelensky added, "I don't think he understands that (Russian President Vladimir) Putin will never stop."

Over 95% of drones out of million targeted for 2024 to be manufactured in Ukraine

Deregulation, drone market has emerged in Ukraine, where hundreds of private companies have entered. It is private businesses that will produce more than 95% of the planned one million drones this year.
This was emphasized by the Vice Prime Minister for Innovations, Development of Education, Science and Technologies, Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo. The plan to manufacture one million drones in 2024, announced by President, will be implemented. That’s first of all thanks to Ukrainian entrepreneurs-manufacturers of drones. It’s they who will assemble almost 95% of these UAVs.

Last year, we streamlined the procedure for drone manufacturers, and this year we will do the same for manufacturers of ground robotic platforms, as well as for manufacturers of EW systems," Fedorov noted

Reports keep coming in of another shootdown of  o Russian (duck) Su-34 fighter bomber. However, the war machine keeps marching on in Ukraine despite massive losses (multiple Su-34s & few A-50 AWACS). Russia can afford to let its guard down, especially now that Kyiv has less than 100 planes. It is also b'cos Russian aerial battlefield interdiction strikes have contributed immensely to its creeping incursion into the separatist Donbas, & capture of Avdiivka is a part of their Russia pattern.

Russia has lost several Su-34s and two A-50U Airborne Warning Control System (AWACS) since January. Moscow needs localized air superiority to push border as far to West & create a buffer zone that ensures NATO & West-friendly Ukraine remains further away from internationally recognized Russian territory.

Satellite images from 12 February show no large cargo ships near the two docks in Rason, where weapons are usually loaded.

Satellite images also indicate that containers from North Korea's internal regions have not been transported to the Rason port by rail.

Perhaps operation was suspended due to ammo production issues in North Korea or other logistical difficulties also possible weapons are being transferred to Russia by air or rail across the border.

NK Pro noted that ships involved in joint operation between North Korea and Russia did not activate their automatic identification system during all departures to avoid detection.

NK Pro said four vessels namely.
Angara, Maia-1, Maria and Lady R, had transported ammunition to Russia, making at least 32 trips. 

The last time Maia-1 entered North Korea's Rason Port was on 12 February, and Lady R on 4 February. 

During this time, no containers is recorded as being delivered to the export pier.

NK Pro noted containers delivered by Maia-1 and Lady R in early February have remained in the port for the past few weeks. 

This indicates that they may be empty or that there may be no urgent need to deliver them to their destinations in North Korea.

All of these vessels are subject to sanctions by the US Department of the Treasury for their alleged involvement in transporting military equipment and ammunition from North Korea to Russia.
