A short review of different Russian sources. Some of new is already reported by coalition mass-media and some not.
1) Another US Marine unit ambushed in En-Nassiriya. Casuaties are reported from both sides.
2) Iraqi forces counterattack coalition near Basra's airport. City is still under full control of defenders.
3) Russian companies are angry after US claims they helped Iraqi military. The CEO of Aviakonversia company told to reporters his company indeed sold GPS scrambling device but to Americans, not Iraqis. Some Russian officials believe this equipment may come to Iraq from USA.
President Putin denied today Russia violates the UN sanctions against Iraq. Even more, he said that Russia prepared and send to USA a list of proved facts when US companies had illegal trading behind UN sanctions. "They do not comment this list still", said Putin.
4) Iraqi embassador in China blaims that coalition violates the Geneva Convention. He told many civilians have been illegally captured by coalition and treated as PoWs.

Colonel Mike Harvud (sp?), RAF officier in Persian Gulf, is worry about passivity of Iraqi Air Force. "We do not down any Iraqi aircraft still. Iraq does not use their air forces still", he said.
Colonel supposed Iraq is going to keep their aircrafts till the most important battles. He mentions Iraq has some experience pilots who can arrange a heavy resistance in the sky and attack coaltion forces using chemical and bacteriological weapon.
2 LaRusso,
Unfortunately, the cyber war, which has been started yesterday, is continuing. Many Russian sites are under attack, some of them are downed. Russian mass-media reported that Pentagon's site has been attacked at least 1000 times in revenge.
I believe finally this thread becomes to be the only source where info from both sides andf third parties would be collected. :-)

A short summary of press-releases of Russian Aviakonversia company and information given by Russian state TV:
The Russian re-seller Aviaconversia company is indeed selling so-called GPS-Jammer systems, which is cheap and effective tool to fool the precision-guide weapon. Their partner is an American company named CCS.
The CCS has bought a number of GPS-Jammers. The end-user statement given by Americans claimed these systems have been bought for Pentagon's needs.
However, after evaluation, this company has sold the jammers to Iran. Russians claim that Iraq had been negotiated the similar deal with Americans in approximately the same time. No information is available what happened to jammers in Iran.
The Aviaconversia company has recently demanded Pentagon to give the explanations how it was possible these jammers came to third country? No answer to this reply is received yet.

LONDON, March 25 (Reuters) - Iraq's southern port town of Umm Qasr, where U.S. and British forces have been trying for days to put down Iraqi resistance so that aid can be shipped in, is now "safe and open", a British commander said on Tuesday.
Following are the known military operations by 1300 GMT on day six of the war:
BAGHDAD: The outskirts of Baghdad were pounded by waves of heavy air strikes through the day in an apparent effort by U.S. and British forces to target the capital's outer defences, a Reuters correspondent said.
U.S. forces attacked Iraq's elite Republican Guards defending the approaches to Baghdad.
The Medina Division of Republican Guards stands between Baghdad and U.S. armoured columns that have thrust to the Kerbala area, 95 km (60 miles) south of the capital.
SOUTHERN IRAQ: Brigadier Jim Dutton, commander of the British Royal Marines' 3rd Commando Brigade, declared the southern Iraqi port town of Umm Qasr "safe and open".
Britain declared Basra a military target after an Iraqi army division had engaged the British in about a dozen artillery exchanges over 24 hours. However a British spokesman later said British troops would not enter Basra to battle irregular Iraqi fighters.
British forces south of Basra have blocked an attempted breakout by up to 50 Iraqi tanks seeking to press southward from the edge of the city.
A big convoy of U.S. Marines crossed the Euphrates river and Saddam Canal at Nassiriya, resuming a key advance toward Baghdad after fighting their way through the city.
Marines laid down a 3.5-km (two-mile) corridor of armoured vehicles and the convoy charged through the streets under cover of helicopter rockets and a barrage of artillery, tank and heavy machinegun fire.
A northward advance on the far bank of the Euphrates could eventually form the eastward arm of a pincer movement on Baghdad, 375 km (235 miles) north of Nassiriya.
NORTHERN IRAQ: Aircraft carried out raids on targets in or around the northern city of Mosul, the heaviest to target the city and surroundings since the raids began last week.
