Russian woman arrested in New York for attacking Jews Anna Mochalova, 32, from Perm, Russia, a contestant in the 2012 “Beauty of Russia” pageant, was arrested in Manhattan following a series of alleged antisemitic attacks. According to investigators, she stabbed a 26-year-old rabbi in the back with a syringe, then shoved a 37-year-old man wearing a kippah and threatened to shoot him. She later approached a third man but backed off when he told her he was Muslim. The victims sought medical treatment at a hospital. A judge ordered Mochalova held on $50,000 cash bail.

Kongsberg presenterar containerbaserat avfyrningssystem Det norska försvarskoncernen Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace har visat upp ett nytt, modulärt avfyrningssystem för sina NSM-sjömålsrobotar (Naval Strike Missile). Systemet, som går under namnet NSM Mission Module, är integrerat i en standardiserad 20-fots sjöcontainer och rymmer upp till fyra robotar. NSM-roboten har en räckvidd på över 300 kilometer och bär en stridsdel på cirka 120 kilo. Genom att bygga in avfyrningsrampen i en konventionell fraktcontainer skapas ett diskret system som kan transporteras och grupperas obemärkt via befintliga logistikkedjor. Modulen kräver inga permanenta anpassningar och kan användas i stationär konfiguration på marken, monterad på lastbilar eller installerad på såväl bemanning som obemannade fartygsplattformar.

Bavaria to rebuild Hitler’s “Eagle’s Nest” after fire The historic Kehlsteinhaus, known as Hitler’s tea house, was badly damaged in an arson attack. Bavarian authorities said the building would be restored. Before the fire, around 300,000 people visited the mountain restaurant each year. The fire broke out on Friday evening. Snow, ice and toxic smoke made it difficult for rescue crews to operate. A 33-year-old Berlin resident was arrested on suspicion of arson. Investigators are examining his possible motives, including political ones. Experts pointed to signs of a possible mental illness, and a court ordered the man to be temporarily placed in a specialized psychiatric facility. Kehlsteinhaus was built in 1937–1938 for the Nazi leadership. Hitler rarely visited it. Since 1952, the building has operated as a restaurant.

Sidenote: it is now again legal to turn the anti-tank TM-65-77 into a personal kosmonautik launch platform by swapping the 150kg trigger plate into sensitized three prong trigger. The AT mine uses the AP mines body as an initiator 😁

🌍 Russia is increasingly recruiting Africans to fight against Ukraine as it struggles with a shortage of soldiers — Bloomberg Moscow has sharply stepped up recruitment across African countries in an effort to replenish its battlefield losses. According to Ukrainian intelligence, 699 people from Burundi were recruited into the Russian army in the first nine months of 2026, compared with just 30 in all of 2025. In Zimbabwe, the number jumped from 65 to 530. Recruitment has also increased in Sudan, Cameroon, Sierra Leone, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Some Africans are lured to Russia with promises of ordinary civilian jobs, only to potentially end up fighting against Ukraine. Several African governments have already raised concerns about these recruitment methods. According to Ukrainian intelligence, 45,959 foreigners from 151 countries have signed contracts with the Russian military since the start of the full-scale invasion, including 5,451 citizens of African nations. Russia claimed it was fighting to “protect Russians” — yet increasingly, it's recruiting people from another continent to fight its war.
