Good news. Another one is gone.
Lt. Gen. Igor Yerusalimov, 53, has reportedly been buried under heavy security in Moscow after multiple reports linked his death to the August 1 blast at the Balzi Rossi restaurant.
Russian authorities still haven’t officially admitted he was among the victims.
Yerusalimov played a key role in operational planning for Russia’s war against Ukraine. He won’t be planning much anymore.

🇪🇺 Europe is abolishing unanimity.
Germany continues pushing to remove national vetoes and accelerate enlargement.
🔸 Hungary has blocked Ukraine’s accession, aid and sanctions despite support from the other 26 members.
🔸 Greece blocked the sanctions package despite support from the other 26 members
🔸 A Union of more than 30 members cannot require unanimity for every strategic decision.
Unanimity must end.
A continent facing war, economic stagnation and global competition cannot let one government paralyse hundreds of millions of Europeans.

🇺🇸 🇮🇷 The Pentagon is racing to triple interceptor production as this war proves air defense gets won on a factory floor
Look at the targets.
PAC-3 output going from roughly 600 a year to 2,000. THAAD quadrupling from 96 to 400.
Northrop just signed $3 BILLION in seven-year deals, and the Pentagon has cut about a dozen similar agreements since January.
Now the detail that should bother you.
Until this month, L3Harris was the ONLY company producing solid rocket motors for the PAC-3.
One supplier, for the interceptor keeping American bases alive across two theaters at once.
Reporting this week puts roughly 80 percent of the stockpile for a key defense system already spent.
So modern air defense comes down to a motor plant in West Virginia and an assembly line in Camden, Arkansas, and whether they can outrun a country building drones for pocket change.

President Trump reportedly confronted Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth at Camp David over worsening U.S. missile shortages, questioning why he believed the problem had already been resolved.
According to The Washington Post, the discussion focused on dwindling stocks of long-range precision munitions and air-defense interceptors that have increasingly constrained U.S. military options against Iran. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt forcefully denied the report, calling it “100% fake news” and insisting it “literally never happened,” adding that President Trump has the “utmost confidence” in Hegseth.
