US military commanders are deliberately letting some Iranian missiles and drones through their air defenses to conserve dwindling interceptor stocks.
With Iran having fired nearly 9,000 projectiles since the war began, commanders now only engage threats headed for US troops — accepting hits on runways, radars, and fuel depots to preserve Patriots, THAADs, and SM-series interceptors that take years to replace.

Russia is a country of monopolies. Everything has been monopolized. Putin spent 25 years building that system.
But in wartime, it has become Russia’s weak point. Knock out twenty oil refineries, and there’s no gasoline. Knock out twenty marketplace warehouses, and trade grinds to a halt. Knock out ten pulp and paper mills, and there will be no gunpowder.
Russia’s dismantling has only just begun.
Putin. The Results. When Everything Went Wrong…

Аудит у Збройних Силах України розпочато.
Моя мета — не шукати винних, а чесно оцінити реальний стан справ у кожній військовій частині. Ми маємо знати правду про рівень боєготовності, забезпечення, комплектування, підготовку особового складу та ефективність управління.
Жодних «недоторканних» не буде. Якщо будуть виявлені порушення, службова недбалість чи зловживання — кожен нестиме відповідальність.
Працюємо.

Russians are now putting anti-drone metal frames and nets around their private homes to protect from Ukrainian drone strikes, CrimeanWind reports.

The US is evaluating contingency plans for a potential ground raid in Iran to seize or destroy enriched uranium at sites like Fordow and Isfahan.
Meanwhile, Iran’s IRGC claims its retaliatory strikes killed over 200 US personnel.

The American Patriot missile is the weapon Ukraine wants the most: its PAC-3 interceptor destroys incoming ballistic missiles by slamming into them at 4,000mph.
And now, Donald Trump has pledged to give Ukraine the blueprints needed for the weapon. But there are still significant hurdles to overcome before Ukraine is able to produce them ⤵️

The “Irkutsk” Putin and the “Omsk” Putin don’t look good.
But seriously, Putin has become a problem for everyone – both inside and outside Russia. He is a problem for Russia’s elites and for “allies,” including China. Putin is a problem for the United States and the European Union.
Putin has completely lost touch with reality. The only thing that interests him is endless war.
This situation cannot last forever.

Drone strikes hit military and energy targets across occupied Crimea early Sunday, triggering fires and blackouts.
Attacks targeted a radar in Feodosia and the Tavriya TPP near Simferopol.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 If it wasn’t for Iran having access to satellite data, you’d never know the extent of their attacks on U.S bases in the Gulf
They’ve hit multiple hangars housing U.S fighter jets, Reaper drones and helicopters, and more worryingly for Trump, troop barracks at several bases.

Putin is losing his second campaign in the war — and this time the excuses don’t work. The failed blitzkrieg of 2022 was a major setback, but Moscow still believed its manpower and money would guarantee victory in a long war of attrition. Four years later, that logic has collapsed.
Russia entered the war convinced that mass + money = victory. But warfare changed while the Kremlin kept fighting yesterday’s war.
🔥 What Moscow underestimated:Technologies like drones, AI systems and precision weapons reshaped the battlefield.
Resource superiority turned into a trap — it allowed Russia to keep a failing strategy alive.Costs now rise faster than gains as the army pushes toward Donetsk.
New capabilities were treated as “supplements” — until they became decisive.Putin tried to win a 2026 war with 2000‑era thinking. Ukraine and its partners reinvented the battlefield — and Russia noticed only when the losses became impossible to hide.
