Ukraine has struck one of the largest power plants in western russia.
This marks a significant strategic shift. Until now, Ukraine had largely refrained from targeting major russian power plants. That restraint appears to be over.
The rules of engagement have changed.

🇮🇱🇺🇦🇷🇺Israel Refused aid Ukraine in order to Avoid Upsetting Russia, Now Faces Iranian Drone Backlash
says Ex UK Defence SecretaryFormer UK Defence Secretary Ben Wallace claims he urged Israel’s government to help Ukraine early in the war, but Israel refused to avoid angering Russia.
As a result, Russia kept buying large numbers of cheap Iranian drones (hundreds of millions to over $1 billion spent).
Wallace says ordinary Israelis are now paying the price through Iranian attacks.

WSJ reports that Iranian missiles have become faster, more lethal and more advanced despite US and Israeli strikes.
US officials believe Iran remains capable of further developing its military capabilities.

BREAKING:
Israeli intelligence believes that Iran has moved thousands of nuclear centrifuges into tunnels deep inside Pickaxe Mountain, a heavily fortified underground facility near Natanz – WSJ
The assessment says the centrifuges could be used to enrich Iran’s existing stockpile of 60% highly enriched uranium to weapons-grade for potential use in nuclear warheads.

USA says China and Russia are helping Iran to targets American bases in Gulf countries.
This will be a big escalation if they don’t stop supporting Iran.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 America just unveiled a weapon built to dominate the drone war.
Lockheed Martin has revealed MORFIUS™ X-Rotor, a reusable, high power microwave interceptor designed to take on massive drone swarms and neutralize 50+ enemy drones in a single mission.
Instead of relying on multimillion dollar missiles to stop low cost drones, MORFIUS is designed to disable entire swarms with directed microwave energy, then return for another mission.
As rivals rapidly expand their drone arsenals, the U.S. is investing in technology designed to counter large scale drone attacks more efficiently.
⚡ The future of air defense isn’t just shooting drones down, it’s shutting entire swarms down at once.

🇺🇦Ukraine’s cheap drone swarms are quietly dismantling Russia’s multi-billion-dollar air defenses:
Russia’s S-300, S-400, and Pantsir systems were built to stop fast, radar-bright jets and missiles, but they struggle against Ukraine’s low-flying, low-signature composite drones.
Russia’s enormous territory makes total coverage impossible, so defenses are concentrated in key areas, leaving wide gaps. Ukraine exploits this with smart, systematic waves: decoys first to exhaust the systems, followed by real strikes.
The result is a reported 20–30% penetration rate that continues to cripple Russian oil infrastructure and logistics.
I think what we’re seeing now is just the beginning.
