Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) militants have kidnapped 16 Pakistani nuclear scientists from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, escalating security concerns regarding Pakistan’s nuclear program. The abduction occurred on January 9, 2025, while the scientists were en route to a mining project linked to the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission. The TTP has demanded the cessation of military operations against them in exchange for the hostages, releasing a video of the scientists pleading for their safety. Reports also indicate that the militants may have looted uranium during the incident, raising alarms about potential threats to global security

The Russian army is resorting to unconventional methods in an attempt to gain an advantage on the battlefield. One such strategy involves using electric scooters to attack Ukrainian positions. But is this mode of transportation effective in warfare?

The war in Ukraine, ongoing for just under three years, is undoubtedly one of the most well-documented conflicts in history. The wealth of material provides insight into the realities of the battlefield, showcasing some of the unconventional tactics soldiers employ. In a surprising move, the Russians now use electric scooters instead of tanks.

Russian assault on electric scooters
The Ukrainian "Azov" Brigade shared a video on YouTube depicting a Russian attack and the successful defense mounted by Ukrainian forces. Notably, a segment of the video shows a group of Russian soldiers advancing on electric scooters. Interestingly, this is not the first documented attack by Russians using scooters.

Previously, similar assaults have been observed using motorcycles or electric bicycles. This raises the question: Is this approach effective, and most importantly, why are Russians opting for this mode of transport?

Does an electric scooter make sense on the frontlines?
"In recent months, during large-scale attacks, the enemy has suffered significant losses of armored vehicles. Therefore, the Russians now resort to using cars, buggies, and even electric scooters on a large scale," reads the video description. This suggests that the use of electric scooters may stem from a shortage of better transport options.

The Russian army employs off-road versions of electric scooters, which can navigate over damaged surfaces. The cost of such equipment is approximately $500 to $2,500. These scooters typically have a carrying capacity of about 330 lbs.


The main advantage of electric scooters on the battlefield is their high mobility. They can provide a tactical edge with speeds of up to 37 mph. Additionally, they have a low acoustic signature since the electric motor is nearly silent. Furthermore, the battery in an electric scooter can also function as a power bank.

However, electric scooters do not offer any protection against gunfire. They are also disadvantaged when confronted with FPV drones, as drones are typically faster than electric scooters.

President-elect Donald Trump has requested the U.S. Supreme Court to delay a law that mandates TikTok's sale by January 19, 2025, or face a ban in the U.S. This request aims to allow his incoming administration time to negotiate a resolution regarding the popular social media app, which has over 170 million American users.

In an amicus brief filed on December 27, Trump stated he takes no position on the merits of the case but believes he possesses the necessary expertise and political mandate to address national security concerns while preserving TikTok's operations.

The law, signed by President Joe Biden in April, requires TikTok's Chinese parent company, ByteDance, to divest its ownership due to alleged national security risks associated with potential Chinese government access to user data.

Trump's brief emphasizes that delaying the January 19 deadline would provide "breathing space" for a political solution without necessitating judicial intervention. Oral arguments are scheduled for January 10, just days before the deadline, raising questions about whether the Court will rule in time to prevent a ban.

It seems we can no longer underestimate the Houthis. They have demonstrated that they possess serious technology that could change the game in the Middle East. With their recent attacks on Tel Aviv, it's clear they have leveled up. We need to be cautious, as this could lead to greater conflict for everyone involved. Additionally, we must not forget what Israel is doing in Gaza and Yemen, which only worsens the situation.

This situation is truly disturbing! It’s unacceptable for law enforcement to treat any individual, especially a restrained prisoner, with such brutality. If this incident had occurred in Nigeria or another country, the global media would have been in an uproar, demanding justice and accountability. It highlights a double standard in how we perceive and react to violence against individuals based on their nationality. We must advocate for human rights universally, regardless of where the abuse occurs. For more insightful discussions on international affairs and similar topics, visit my blog at alaba boys dot com.
