The U.S. Army Is Urgently Investing in Electronic Warfare Systems, the Deadline Is Six Months

Pentagon prioritizes wearable electronic warfare systems for enhanced battlefield awareness
The importance of electronic warfare capabilities and their miniaturization in modern warfare has been underscored by practical experiences, revealing that solely relying on powerful systems on mobile platforms is insufficient. In response, the Pentagon initiated a comprehensive 120-day field study in 2023 to delve into this critical aspect.

Although the details are shrouded in secrecy, some practical actions have come to light. The immediate focus has been on supplying wearable electronic warfare (EW) systems to the U.S. Army. Initially, these units will be dispatched to major army training bases before being distributed to each combat brigade within the ground forces for personnel training purposes.

McCaul says Johnson is committed to put a vote for Ukraine funding on the floor after Easter
Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) said Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is committed to putting a vote for Ukraine funding on the House floor some time after Easter.

“His commitment is to put it on the floor after Easter and we are working on this bill,” McCaul told CBS’s Margaret Brennan on “Face the Nation.”

When pressed further on whether this means they will vote on the bill as soon as April 9 — when the House returns from recess — McCaul just emphasized he would like it done “as soon as possible.” McCaul is the chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and has been a strong supporter of approving additional funding for Ukraine, which has been fighting Russia for more than two years.

“I think the situation Ukraine is dire…. if we lose in Ukraine like Afghanistan and then lose to Putin, let him you know, take over Ukraine and Moldova, Georgia, and abandon our allies like we did in Afghanistan — Does that make the United States weaker or stronger? I think weaker,” he said.

When asked on why there is a lack of urgency by Johnson on approving funding for Ukraine, McCaul noted that he is in a “difficult” spot.

“He understands this. He is in a very difficult spot, and this motion to vacate the chair thing — I believe he’s committed because he understands national security. And leans on, you know, myself, the chairman of armed services, House Intelligence, for advice on this and he knows how important this is,” McCaul said.

The Hill has reached out to Johnson’s office for comment.

Mayor: Russian attacks destroy thermal power plant, all substations in Kharkiv
Russian missile and drone attacks have destroyed a thermal power plant and all the electrical substations in Kharkiv, Mayor Ihor Terekhov told national television on March 24.

The mayor said that Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, experiences the most challenging energy situation.

Russia has recently once again intensified its attacks against Ukraine's critical infrastructure, launching over 150 missiles and drones against Ukrainian cities and critical infrastructure on March 22 in one of the largest attacks against the country's power grid.

The March 22 strike damaged the Dnipro Hydroelectric Power Plant, Ukraine's largest hydroelectric station.

Energy workers are unable to provide a stable power supply across Kharkiv, according to the mayor.

Details: The satellite imagery, from Planet Labs, has confirmed that a building on Rudneva Street in Sevastopol was hit as a result of Ukrainian missile attacks.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine had reported that they launched a missile attack on the Russian Black Sea Fleet’s communication centre on the morning of 24 March.

A comparison of satellite images taken of the area on 21 and 24 March shows that the roof collapsed after the attack. Firefighting appliances can also be seen next to the building, Skhemy reported.


Background:
• Late on 23 March, reports emerged that the main communications centre of the Russian Black Sea Fleet in occupied Sevastopol had been hit by cruise missiles.
• Early on 24 March, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that Ukraine's Defence Forces had struck two Russian landing ships, the Yamal and the Azov, as well as a communications centre and several infrastructure facilities belonging to the Russian Black Sea Fleet in occupied Sevastopol, Crimea.

About 100 Russian spies work under diplomatic cover in Austria - media
Of the 252 Russian agents in Austria, about 100 work under the guise of diplomats and also operate in neighboring countries. There are likely many more spies operating under the guise of civilians. The information was provided by the Central European country's intelligence chief at a confidential meeting with senior officials.

The Austrian civil servant said that, according to their data, at the Russian embassy in Vienna, as well as in the Russian missions to the OSCE and the UN, there are at least 252 employees, including diplomats, technical and administrative staff, working on “disarmament”.

“The mentioned figure does not include teachers of Russian schools in Austria, who are provided with a certain level of diplomatic protection,” the official noted.

The article also notes that spouses of diplomats have also begun to use diplomatic cover for spy work, which is a growing trend, especially after the recent mass expulsions of Russian diplomats. We are talking about agents carrying out missions for Russian intelligence services, including the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), the Federal Security Service (FSB) and the Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU).

Austria and its neighbors are aware of intelligence activities emanating from Moscow. Slovakia is aware that Russian diplomats in Austria have conducted espionage activities against it, and the Czech Republic is promoting restrictions on the free movement of Russians in the Schengen area to reduce risks. In February, information appeared that Ireland refused to renew the visas of Russian diplomats, fearing espionage activities.

Terror In Moscow: KGB's Biggest Fail

Politiebureau zat 15 meter bij crocus hall vandaan.
Er liep ook nog een politieman van de k9 unit binnen in crocus hall tijdens het schieten “van IS”.

De politie deed helemaal niks.
Terwijl als je als Rus met een wit papiertje zwaait al binnen dertig seconden opgepakt wordt wegens onrust stoken.
De buurt rondom het politiebureau en crocus hall hangt vol met camera’s. Zo ook binnen.
Binnen worden bezoekers eerst door beveiligingspoortjes geleid om te controleren op wapens, wat normaal is. Hier wordt je ook gecontroleerd voordat je een concertzaal in mag.. aanslagplegers kwamen van buitenaf binnen volgens camera’s , dan zat er toch beveiliging? Of gingen die even lekker met de benen omhoog?
