Ukraine attacks Russia with UK-made missiles

Ukraine has fired UK-supplied ๐Ÿš€ Storm Shadow missiles at targets inside Russia for the first time. Previously, Ukraine was only allowed to use these long-range missiles within its own borders.

This development follows a recent authorization from the U.S. for Ukraine to use American-supplied missiles against Russian territory. The Ukrainian officials have not confirmed the strikes yet.

The Storm Shadow missile is particularly effective against ๐ŸŽฏ fortified targets, making it a crucial asset for Ukraine as it seeks to counter Russian military operations.

Jaguar confusing rebrand gamble

Jaguar, the British luxury ๐Ÿš— car brand, is facing backlash over its new promotional video for a rebrand that emphasizes diversity but features no cars. The video, which showcases models in bright outfits against an unusual background, is part of a campaign set to launch on December 2 during Miami Art Week. Critics, including ๐Ÿš€ Elon Musk, have questioned the brand's direction, with Musk asking, โ€œDo you sell cars?โ€

The rebranding aims to transition Jaguar towards an ๐Ÿ”‹ all-electric future with a new logo and marketing slogan "Copy Nothing." However, experts warn that abandoning the brand's heritage as a ๐ŸŽ high-performance sports car could even make traditional customers turn away.
