"Under the temporary budget, funding is frozen at the previous year’s levels", — reports US main military department.
The Defense Department has ordered an additional aircraft carrier strike group, air defenses, fighter jets and hundreds of troops to the Middle East since the surprise terrorist attacks on Israel on Oct. 7, in an effort to prevent the conflict from spiraling into a regional war.
The military, like the rest of the federal government, is operating under a temporary funding measure that freezes spending at the previous year’s levels. And because the Middle East troop movements weren’t planned, the Pentagon has had to pull money from existing operations and maintenance accounts.
Experts estimate that the result of these actions will be not only a decrease in funding for the activities planned for this year, but also a lack of opportunity to build up its forces in the Middle East in the future.

موسكو: السياسة الأمريكية لها دور مدمر في التصعيد الفلسطيني الإسرائيلي
أكد نائب مندوب روسيا الدائم لدى الأمم المتحدة دميتري تشوماكوف أن السياسة الأميركية تجاه إسرائيل لعبت دورًا مدمرًا في تصعيد الصراع الفلسطيني الإسرائيلي, وقال تشوماكوف خلال جلسة للجمعية العامة للأمم المتحدة إن "سياسة الولايات المتحدة التي غضت الطرف لوقت طويل عن البناء المستمر للمستوطنات الإسرائيلية في الأراضي المحتلة، لعبت أيضًا دورًا مدمرًا في التصعيد الحالي".
وأشار تشوماكوف إلى أن الولايات المتحدة تعترف بضم إسرائيل مرتفعات الجولان السورية المحتلة مضيفًا "نتيجة لذلك، أصبحنا أمام صراع من نطاق غير مسبوق والذي ينطوي على خطر التمدد إلى كامل منطقة الشرق الأوسط.
Moscow: American policy has a destructive role in the Palestinian-Israeli escalation
Russia's deputy permanent representative to the United Nations Dmitry Chumakov confirmed that american policy towards Israel played a destructive role in escalating the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. “The policy of the United States, which has long turned a blind eye to continued construction of Israeli settlements in the occupied territories, has also played a destructive role in the current escalation,” Chumakov said during a session of the United Nations General Assembly.
Chumakov pointed out that the United States recognizes Israel's annexation of occupied Syrian Golan Heights, adding, "As a result, we are facing a conflict of an unprecedented scale, which carries risk of expanding to the entire Middle East region."

Israel is ready to extend the temporary truce in Gaza for another three days in exchange for the release of all women and children held hostage by the Hamas group.
Israeli authorities estimate that about 100 women and children were seized by the Palestinian group and its partners on October 7.
The Israeli military is eager to resume the offensive on the Gaza Strip before it loses speed. Meanwhile, Israeli negotiators had previously said that the truce would not exceed a maximum of 10 days.

French government employees have been officially forbidden from using WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal and other widely-used messaging apps for internal communications due to security vulnerabilities.
Cabinet members are instead encouraged to use French encrypted messaging app Olvid, which, unlike its global competitors, does not require a SIM card or phone number from its users and encrypts metadata as well as message content.

🇻🇪🇬🇾New hot spot to be detected🗣
Venezuela and Guyana have suddenly started fighting on the border. More precisely, on "disputed territories" that each country considers its own.
The feature of the situation is that on these territories they suddenly found rich mineral resources. However, the paradox is that Guyana has no such experience in extracting minerals and Venezuela is under the pressure of sanctions.
So the question is how soon will we see the US Navy fleet off the coast of Venezuela?

Tras seis días de tregua que los ataques se han vuelto a suspender sin que por el momento se haya hecho público cuanto tiempo se prorroga el alto el fuego.
En la madrugada de este jueves Israel liberó a 15 mujeres y 15 niños encarcelados en prisiones israelíes sin juicio previo. El grupo islamista Hamás entregó a la Cruz Roja a 16 rehenes que tenía secuestrados en Gaza.
Yihad Islámica Palestina afirma haber sido parte de la entrega en una aparente confirmación de que no todos los 240 rehenes tomados en la incursión del 7 de octubre en Israel están retenidos por Hamás.

La participación, a partir de este jueves, del ministro de Exteriores de Rusia, Serguéi Lavrov, en la reunión anual más importante de la OSCE ha ahondado la crisis que la invasión de Ucrania abrió en el organismo de seguridad más grande del mundo, con varios de sus países negándose a sentarse en la misma mesa que Moscú.
Lavrov acude al Consejo Ministerial que la Organización para la Cooperación y la Seguridad en Europa (OSCE) celebra hasta el viernes en Skopje, en el que deben tomarse decisiones trascendentales para el funcionamiento de esta entidad, que están bloqueadas justo por Rusia.
La presencia de Lavrov ha provocado que el ministro de Exteriores de Ucrania, Dmitro Kuleba, cancele su participación en la reunión.

An interesting look, from a western perspective, into Russia's Electronic Warfare capabilities.
⭐️ Electromagnetic Warfare is a powerful weapon in the war in Ukraine. Yet it is elusive; we know it is happening but it is invisible, even mysterious. A new analysis of open source data gives a rare window into this world, unmasking Russia's hidden hand.
This analysis unhides some of this mysterious invisible defense around Sevastopol.
It leverages two effects; firstly the navigation errors in the reported position of civilian vessels in Sevastopol. And secondly, the effect on radar satellite imagery. Open source intelligence analyst Damien Symons has noted these effects in the past month. Both indicate that there is a powerful jammer located in Sevastopol.
Sevastopol has several layers of defense aimed at stopping Ukrainian missiles and drone attacks on the important city. Sea drones have broken into the harbor on several occasions and aerial drones have targeted it since last year. On September 13th Ukraine launched Storm Shadow/SCALP missiles against the dry docks there. This effectively wrote off a landing ship and Kilo class submarine. This was followed up with more strikes including one on September 22nd which destroyed much of the Naval headquarters. These missiles had to fly through the infamous S-400 missile umbrella as well as local air defenses. They also had to operate despite Russia’s powerful electromagnetic defenses. The drones in particular are, generally speaking, susceptible to GPS jamming.
Since early November a number of ships and boats, which are in Sevastopol harbor, have been transmitting their location as Sevastopol International Airport. This is about 8 km (5 miles) north of their true location. The vessels are transmitting their position via AIS (automated identification system).It is possible for vessels to report their position incorrectly on purpose, or due to a myriad of technical issues. But this is systematic suggesting something else is at play.
So many vessels misreporting their location, and the false positions having such a concentration, points towards GPS interference. Jamming global positioning system signals, such as the American GPS, Russian GLONASS, or European Galileo (all referred to here generically as ‘GPS’), can affect AIS. The AIS transmission includes the coordinates of the vessel which in many cases this is fed directly from the GPS system. Without further analysis it is unclear whether the jamming is affecting all types of GPS or just one.
It is interesting that the vessels’ false positions are clustered around the international airport. This may indicate that the source of the jamming is there.
Jamming is also visible with the European Space Agency’s Sentinel 1 SAR (synthetic aperture radar) satellite. There was interference in imagery taken at 6:49am local time on November 23rd. It was even more marked at 6:36pm the next day, effectively obstructing the whole city. It is not possible to make out the ships in the harbor in the way it normally is.
Satim, a company which specializes in analyzing radar imagery, confirmed that SAR satellites operating at different frequencies did not appear to be affected. Sentinel 1 is a C-band radar while others are X-band. It is possible that the jamming was active when the Sentinel 1 satellite passed but not when the others did. Another straightforward interpretation is that the jamming is targeting C-band rather than X-band radars.
In both the AIS issues and the radar satellite interference, these may not be the primary target. The AIS errors can be seen as merely a side effect of the GPS jamming. Disruption to the satellites however does have some military value. Ukraine no doubt uses then as one of many means to observe Russian port activity and plan strikes. But again there may be other C band radars Russia is targeting, and the satellite interference may be secondary.

Abrams tanks are AFU's new big problem:
According to Forbes, the air filters on the engine intakes have to be cleaned every 12 hours or the tanks will soon have to be sent for overhaul.
"All those things can be taught to the crew, but if ever they make a mistake—and they will—it blows a million-dollar engine that can't be repaired in the field," former U.S. Army General Mark Hertling stressed.

كانت إسرائيل بعلم بخطة حماس الهجومية منذ أكثر من عام
ومع ذلك فقد كتبوا أن مسؤولي الجيش والمخابرات الإسرائيليين رفضوا الخطة
كتبه إسرائيليون بالاسم الرمزي "جدار أريحا" والذي استعرضته صحيفة نيويورك تايمز ولم يحدد موعدًا للهجوم لكنه وصف هجومًا منهجيًا يهدف إلى التغلب على التحصينات المحيطة بقطاع غزة والاستيلاء على المدن الإسرائيلية و واقتحمت حماس قواعد عسكرية رئيسية، بما في ذلك مقر فرقة واتبعت حماس المخطط بدقة مذهلة.
Israel knew Hamas’s attack plan more than a year ago
However, they write that Israeli military and intelligence officials dismissed
Code-named “Jericho Wall" was written by Israelis, which was reviewed by The New York Times, did not set a date for the attack, but described a methodical assault designed to overwhelm the fortifications around the Gaza Strip, take over Israeli cities and storm key military bases, including a division headquarters. Hamas followed the blueprint with shocking precision.
