The Defense Forces successfully hit the Khanskaya airfield in Adygea. Russian propagandists claim that there was supposedly a military training base there, but this is not true at all.

As Defence Express writes, the Russian airfield is located 400 kilometers from the front line. The occupiers remember the Khanskaya airbase as a training base with a military school, but fighter jets were based at the airfield.

Why Khanskaya is not a training airbase

On the night of October 10, the Defense Forces successfully attacked the Russian airbase “Khanskaya”. The successful attack is evidenced by spectacular videos and photos from the scene, as well as the NASA fire monitoring service.

Traditionally, the Russian authorities claim that allegedly nothing was damaged as a result of the attack, the explosions at the ammunition depot are hushed up, and officially they only report a fire. At the same time, the residents of the village of Rodnikovo, which is located next to the airfield, were evacuated for some reason.

Russian propaganda claims that “Khanskaya” is allegedly the 272nd training airbase, which is the airfield of the Krasnodar Aviation School. However, Defence Express journalists note that the airfield is a full-fledged military facility where Russian army combat aircraft are located.

Referring to satellite images from ESA, the media note that the sizes of the training aircraft do not match the aircraft that were actually at the Khanskaya base.

The sizes of Russian combat aircraft such as the Su-30, Su-34 and Su-35 differ greatly from the sizes of the L-39 trainers (wingspan 15 meters versus 9.5 meters). Moreover, most Russian fighters and frontline bombers have blue camouflage. And on the satellite image for October 6, 12 such aircraft were spotted at the airbase, which exactly corresponds to the standard number of the tactical aviation squadron, the journalists noted.

It is difficult to say exactly which aircraft are being discussed. However, the media assume that new and better satellite images will appear in the near future. They will allow us to assess the real scale of the defeat and the consequences of the attack by Ukrainian drones.

More than 2 million people were left without power due to Hurricane Milton, which swept through Florida, causing deaths and floods.

Associated Press reports this.

Hurricane Milton in Florida: What's the Situation

Hurricane Milton hit Florida on Wednesday, October 9, as a Category 3 storm, wreaking havoc on the coastline still suffering from Hurricane Helen. With winds reaching more than 100 mph, the storm spawned a tornado.

More than 2 million homes and businesses were without power in Florida as a result of the storm, according to poweroutage.us, a website that tracks utility reports.

The majority of outages were in Hardee County, as well as neighboring Sarasota and Manatee counties.

Even before Hurricane Milton made landfall, tornadoes swept across the state. The Spanish Lakes Country Club near Fort Pierce on Florida's Atlantic coast was hit particularly hard, with homes destroyed and some residents killed.

“We lost some lives,” St. Lucie County Sheriff Keith Pearson told WPBF News, though he did not give an exact death toll.

Florida Emergency Management Director Kevin Guthrie said about 125 homes were destroyed before the hurricane made landfall, many of them mobile homes in senior communities.

About 90 minutes after making landfall, Milton had weakened to a Category 2 hurricane.

By late Wednesday, Oct. 9, the hurricane was churning at a top speed of about 103 mph (165 km/h), and storm surge warnings were in effect for parts of the Florida Gulf Coast and Atlantic Ocean.

Heavy rains could also cause flooding on rivers and lakes inland as Milton crosses the Florida peninsula as a hurricane, eventually emerging into the Atlantic Ocean on Thursday, it said. It is expected to impact the densely populated Orlando area.

The storm hit a region still reeling from the aftermath of Hurricane Helen, which flooded streets and homes across western Florida and killed at least 230 people in the state's south.

In many places along the coast, municipalities scrambled to collect and dispose of debris before winds and Storm Surge Milton scattered it and made the situation worse.

Heavy rain and a tornado swept across southern Florida on Wednesday morning, with conditions worsening throughout the day. Rainfall inland is expected to range from 6 to 12 inches (15 to 31 cm), with up to 18 inches (46 cm) in places, threatening catastrophic flooding.

As for the current situation in Florida, authorities have issued mandatory evacuation orders for 15 Florida counties with a combined population of about 7.2 million people.

Biden's Indecision: What Are Ukraine's Real Chances of Getting Permission to Launch Missile Strikes on Russia Petro Sineoky

~6 0~p _ngcontent-sc99 class=”news-annotation”>Many had hoped that at the next Rammstein Ukraine would receive permission to strike Russia from Joe Biden. But this issue has stalled somewhat.

Political scientist and international expert Maxim Nesvitaylov told Channel 24 about this, noting that the Rammstein meeting was postponed due to Joe Biden's absence. In fact, it is understandable why he will not come, because Hurricane Milton is a truly serious threat.

What are the chances of getting permission to strike Russia?

As Nesvitaylov noted, it is clear that Biden does not want his term to be remembered for indecision and an escalation of wars in the world. He really has a cool and strong career. And he definitely won’t want to end it weakly.

There are suggestions that the decision to strike Russia with long-range weapons actually already exists. It could well have been agreed upon behind the scenes. But the time has not yet come to announce everything publicly. And the main reason is the US elections.

The US political leadership is closely watching the electorate’s opinion polls. They will not make a decision if it could negatively affect their support. If the polls show that voters have no clear attitude towards permission, they will not push this issue, Nesvitaylov said.

Therefore, we can expect that Ukraine will receive permission after the US elections. It is important that Biden will remain president until January 2025. And after the vote, he may take such a step.

Journalist Bob Woodward in his book “War” told about many behind-the-scenes conversations among politicians. For example, Biden often uses foul language about Putin and Netanyahu.

Explosions in Kherson thundered during enemy shelling cities.

Residents of the coast were advised to urgently seek shelter, since the speed of constant winds in the center of “Milton” reached more than 190 kilometers per hour.

Earlier, even before reaching Florida, the hurricane weakened a little – from category 5 danger dropped to 3. However, as experts warned, there will still be consequences catastrophic.

Strong winds and heavy rainfall could cause significant flooding, inundating coastal towns with up to 15 feet of water. The threat remains high even for those far from the coastline.

Eastern European NATO member states have increased their defense spending to an unprecedented $70 billion a year.

Bloomberg reports this.

NATO countries have increased defense spending

Estonia and Poland have become the leaders among those countries that have increased their defense and weapons budgets.

These countries have sufficient reserves of military equipment, but as the agency writes, orders for aircraft, helicopters, tanks and missile systems have demonstrated how much more needs to be added to meet the standards of the North Atlantic Alliance in the most dangerous time since the Cold War wars.

— By replacing most of the Soviet equipment sent to Ukraine, NATO is trying to quickly build up the military potential of most countries, which has been ignored for decades.

The ignoring was due to the fact that defense faded into the background after the collapse of the Warsaw Pact and the end of the Balkan wars, — writes Bloomberg.

It is noted that such costs are unprecedented and extremely high in comparison with the budgets of these countries.

However, high-ranking officials realize how important it is to purchase modern military equipment and train personnel to use it effectively.

— We have done nothing in this area for almost 20 years. So, in essence, this is a jump from 1st and 2nd generation machines straight to 4th or 5th. It is like moving from a computer with 386 processors to modern multi-core networks, — explained Slovakia's Chief of Staff Daniel Zmeko.
