Russian air defense is performing worse than Soviet air defense did 80 years ago against the Luftwaffe. Drones fly hundreds of miles to hit refineries. The self-styled military superpower cannot protect its own fuel supply.

🚨 President Donald Trump says Pickaxe Mountain is next.
“We’re going to take out Pickaxe Mountain. Tell the Iranians to be ready.”
Pickaxe Mountain is Iran’s deepest and most heavily fortified suspected nuclear facility, buried roughly 80-100 meters beneath granite near Natanz. It was built after the 2020 sabotage of the Natanz centrifuge complex as a hardened fallback site.
Neutralizing it would likely require multiple B-2 Spirit bombers dropping sequential GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrators in coordinated waves, alongside electronic warfare, suppression of Iranian air defenses, real-time ISR, and repeated strikes on tunnel entrances, ventilation shafts, and supporting infrastructure.
Even then, military analysts assess the mountain may be too deep for conventional bunker-busters to fully destroy, making access denial and operational paralysis a more realistic objective than complete destruction.

En gigantisk rysk fabrik för styrda flygbomber och stridsspetsar har enligt rapporter förstörts totalt. Tusentals ton sprängämnen detonerade — ett industriområde som i praktiken försvann från kartan.
Det här är inte ”skador”. Det är ett strategiskt hål rakt i hjärtat av Rysslands vapenproduktion: KAB‑bomber, moderniserade FAB‑bomber, stridsspetsar till ballistiska och kryssningsmissiler. Allt borta efter en serie massiva explosioner.Kreml kan ersätta soldater. Men att ersätta en hel vapenfabrik? Det tar år — och Ukraina räknar dagarna.

🔴 UNICEF reports that attacks in Ukraine last week resulted in the deaths of two children and injuries to at least 50 others. A warehouse near Kyiv was also heavily damaged, destroying humanitarian supplies worth $3.9 million.
