At this pace, the next few months could be wild Truck fundraiser: https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/preston-stewart-winter-offensive A new report from the Ukrainian unmanned systems forces says that more than 30,000 Russian soldiers were killed in January. This despite a slow down in assaults during the cold spell. If this keeps up, we could see staggering numbers when the weather clears.

This might be why Trump wants to restart nuclear tests Today we're looking at a new accusation from the US State Department saying that China secretly conducted nuclear tests in 2020. This would mark the first test by anyone other than North Korea since 1998 and has arms control experts worried about the possibility of a new arms race.

This is a major disruption to the Russian command and control Truck fundraiser with Car4Ukraine: https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/preston-stewart-winter-offensive/ Interview with Ihor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5sikaSoxhg Today we're looking at the news that SpaceX has shut off access for Russia to use their terminals. This is a major blow to the Russian command and control who have been heavily reliant on this system for years now. While the immediate impact isn't clearly visible on the battlefield, this is the sort of thing that will have a real effect in the logistics and planning in the near future.

These tactics are changing so fast Truck campaign for Seraphim: https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/preston-stewart-winter-offensive Today we're talking with Ihor, a driver in the reconnaissance company of the new Seraphim Unmanned Systems Battalion of the 104th Territorial Defense Brigade.  Ihor talks through the current challenges of driving anywhere near the contact line and how the Russian drone threat has extended further and further back.  This interview is a part of an ongoing fundraiser we have through Car4Ukraine where we're helping to outfit the entire Seraphim battalion with a new fleet of trucks.

Russia's infiltration tactics are paying off near Pokrovsk Truck fundraiser: https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/preston-stewart-winter-offensive/ Today we're looking into some Russian advances around Pokrovsk where we're getting somewhat mixed signals on progress. While Russia seems to present much more control over the territory than we're seeing elsewhere, the situation has been noted as dire from those in the fight. While it's a little premature for Russia to begin talking about consolidation north of Pokrovsk, it's clear this is where they hope to be in the comings weeks or months. We also look at the ongoing peace talks where delegations are meeting today in Abu Dhabi.

Pretty aggressive steps by Iran as the US military buildup continues Go to https://meetfabric.com/PRESTON and apply today, risk-free Today we're looking at a few recent events that risk sparking a conflict between the US and Iran.  Earlier today the US shot down an Iranian drone and prevented a US-flagged vessel from being boarded off their coast.  This comes as the US continues to talk about diplomacy but may in fact push President Trump towards military action.  Ian Ellis: https://x.com/ianellisjones/status/2018122234150215683?s=20 Sat Imagery report: https://x.com/TheGoodISIS/status/2016989005598904779?s=20 Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/c/prestonstew Twitter:   https://x.com/prestonstew_ TikTok:   https://www.tiktok.com/@prestonstew Instagram:   https://www.instagram.com/prestonstew_/ Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/PrestonStewart Unclassified Podcast  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4YmaFZihykI0iov9XgQ0uD?si=efe0b3bd89b6421d&nd=1&dlsi=417702a2c0914864 Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unclassified-with-preston-stewart-and-ben-wheeler/id1781679521 YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSuyLEHMTO-oDHObnCeYwnQ Contact: [email protected]

That buzzing sound will make anyone take cover  Seraphim Fundraiser: https://car4ukraine.com/campaigns/preston-stewart-winter-offensive Drones continue to change how warfare is conducted.  In just the past few days we've seen Ukrainian drones rescue some of their soldiers from being captured and an unmanned ground vehicle used to capture Russian soldiers.  There has been a noticeable decline in offensive activity along the front but Russia is still attacking in multiple areas.  Overnight Russia conducted a sizeable drone and missile attack against Ukraine seemingly putting an end to the short ceasefire proposed by President Trump.  Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/c/prestonstew Twitter:   https://x.com/prestonstew_ TikTok:   https://www.tiktok.com/@prestonstew Instagram:   https://www.instagram.com/prestonstew_/ Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/PrestonStewart Unclassified Podcast  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4YmaFZihykI0iov9XgQ0uD?si=efe0b3bd89b6421d&nd=1&dlsi=417702a2c0914864 Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unclassified-with-preston-stewart-and-ben-wheeler/id1781679521 YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSuyLEHMTO-oDHObnCeYwnQ Contact: [email protected]

We should expect to see more of this in 2026 Today we're looking into Ukraine's new search and destroy tactics that they're using to clear the Russians out of certain areas along the front.  This type of effort takes a lot of planning and we're seeing how that takes shape in areas like Dobropillia and Kupyansk.  This is the type of offensive action I would expect to see from Ukraine moving into 2026 rather than large-scale frontal assaults.  Times article: https://www.thetimes.com/world/russia-ukraine-war/article/kupiansk-kharkiv-victory-jncttnw89 Azov Interview:    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uONXQEq704w Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/c/prestonstew Twitter:   https://x.com/prestonstew_ TikTok:   https://www.tiktok.com/@prestonstew Instagram:   https://www.instagram.com/prestonstew_/ Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/PrestonStewart Unclassified Podcast  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4YmaFZihykI0iov9XgQ0uD?si=efe0b3bd89b6421d&nd=1&dlsi=417702a2c0914864 Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unclassified-with-preston-stewart-and-ben-wheeler/id1781679521 YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSuyLEHMTO-oDHObnCeYwnQ Contact: [email protected]

This is more casualties than any major power has suffered since WWII Truck and generator fundraiser: https://givebutter.com/Southern_Front Today we're looking at a new report just published by CSIS outlining Russian losses so far in Ukraine.  They come to a staggering 1.2 million total casualties and show that the average rate of advance is slower than what was seen in major offensives going back to, and including WWI.  It's hard to grasp these totals but we also have folks like Andrew Perpetua compiling the data daily to confirm these stats.   Source report: https://www.csis.org/analysis/russias-grinding-war-ukraine Andrew Perpetua on X: https://x.com/AndrewPerpetua Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/c/prestonstew Twitter:   https://x.com/prestonstew_ TikTok:   https://www.tiktok.com/@prestonstew Instagram:   https://www.instagram.com/prestonstew_/ Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/PrestonStewart Unclassified Podcast  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4YmaFZihykI0iov9XgQ0uD?si=efe0b3bd89b6421d&nd=1&dlsi=417702a2c0914864 Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unclassified-with-preston-stewart-and-ben-wheeler/id1781679521 YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSuyLEHMTO-oDHObnCeYwnQ Contact: [email protected]

It's getting hard to keep any major assets close to the front Truck and generator fundraiser: https://givebutter.com/Southern_Front Today we're looking into a few medium range strikes carried out by Russia into Ukraine. The first struck a decoy F-16 at an airfield 200km from the front and the second hit a logistics route keeping Pokrovsk in the fight. While neither strike caused important damage, each show an issue that Ukraine will need to address. We also have a possible energy ceasefire going into effect, tonight will be telling.

Everything is in place for a sustained campaign against the Iranian regime The US military is deploying assets to the Middle East as President Trump issues a warning to Iran that they need to make a deal or face an attack by the United States. We look at the sizeable buildup that's known to us at this point as well as regional allies that are either likely to be a part of the operation, or making sure they're not included at all. We also have some new footage from CNN talking with citizens in Tehran about the possibility of a US attack.

And this is just their drone units... Fundraiser for vehicles and generators: https://givebutter.com/Southern_Front Ukraine says their drone units eliminated 240,000 Russian soldiers in 2025 alone, that's a staggering number but just as wild is that the Russians keep coming. Today we're looking at the new report issued by Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces, some battlefield updates and new Russian strikes in Odessa.

In these conditions, surrendering is their only chance of survival  Vehicle and power generation fundraiser: https://givebutter.com/Southern_Front Russian soldiers on the attack right now have only one hope of survival, surrender to Ukrainian forces.  The rest are hunted down by drones as they slowly freeze to death in the grey zone.  The weather is taking a major toll at the front and usually corresponds to a decrease in offensive activity.  We're generally seeing that but Russia is still throwing individual soldiers forward, especially near Pokrovsk.   Sources https://x.com/prestonstew_/status/2015752348551807202?s=20 https://www.politico.com/news/2026/01/24/ukraine-russia-talks-war-ceasefire-00745581 https://x.com/NSTRIKE1231/status/2015316629379309892?s=20 Patreon:  https://www.patreon.com/c/prestonstew Twitter:   https://x.com/prestonstew_ TikTok:   https://www.tiktok.com/@prestonstew Instagram:   https://www.instagram.com/prestonstew_/ Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/PrestonStewart Unclassified Podcast  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4YmaFZihykI0iov9XgQ0uD?si=efe0b3bd89b6421d&nd=1&dlsi=417702a2c0914864 Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unclassified-with-preston-stewart-and-ben-wheeler/id1781679521 YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSuyLEHMTO-oDHObnCeYwnQ Contact: [email protected]

The cold favors the defender in this case Today we're looking at how the frigid cold weather is affecting operations at the front, specifically how it's costing Russia soldiers as they try to advance. Temps are at or below zero right now and extended exposure can be life threatening, and that's without the constant hum of Ukrainian drones hunting down anyone they see.
