In some Russian accounts on Twitter, it is written that Russia will purchase a Yasin wing bomb guidance system from Iran. But will these bomb kits fit russian planes? Suspicious. Because the bomb with the guidance kit is a NATO standard bomb. The shapes of Russian bombs are very different.

But if the Russians adapt this Yasin winged guidance kit to their own bombs, we can say that Ukraine is facing hard times. Because, Russian warplanes will be able to hit many targets with high accuracy with the 60 km range yacina wing guidance kit without entering the sphere of influence of the Ukrainian air defense system.

The use of guided bombs will not add much value as the Russians are reluctant to stay long in Ukrainian airspace. There's also the issue of poor ground to air coordination of the Russian troops below and fighters above.

The Russians failed to suppress let alone destroy Ukraine's AD earlier in the war. That's even harder to do now as Ukraine's airspace are propped up with more and more advanced air defense systems from their Western allies. Which means even lesser time inside Ukraine's airspace for RuAF.

The other issue you forgot to mention is if its so easy to integrate JDAM/Paveway type bombs into Russian aircrafts, the same will apply to Ukraine's own Su/MiG fleet. The West has more stockpile to donate to Ukraine than what Iran can give to Russia and by a H U G E margin consider the western emphasis on guided bombs during the last 3 decade.

Won't change anything as Russian planes can't come within 60km of Ukrainian targets without being shot down, except at low altitude. Targeting the bombs requires flying at medium-high altitude.

A Russian Ka-52 helicopter attacked an infantry fighting vehicle of the Ukrainian army with a Vikhr guided missile. Filming of the battle in the Svatovo area.

A Russian Su-35 fighter dropped bombs, presumably a FAB-250, and evaded a Ukrainian soldier's MANPADS missile. The location of the battle in Ukraine is unknown, the FAB-250 bombs seem to slow down, as the explosions occur at the end of the video.

The pilot of the Russian Su-34 fighter-bomber spoke about combat work in Ukraine. Each star on the body of the aircraft is 10 sorties. The main purpose of the sorties of the Su-34 crews is to search for the air defense of the Ukrainian army, which works sporadically, which is why it is difficult to detect.

The Ukrainian army began to use the German IRIS-T SLM air defense system. The medium-range air defense system IRIS-T SLM was created on the basis of an aviation missile by Diehl Defense. The air defense system began to be mass-produced in 2014, but so far it has not yet been adopted by Germany. The complex uses only the Sweden version and Egypt. Perhaps the supply of air defense systems to Ukraine will help the sales of the complex on the world market. The IRIS-T SLM air defense system is a cross between the Russian Buk-M3 and TOR air defense systems. The complex uses IRIS-T air-to-air missiles. They are equipped with an infrared homing head used at the final stage of the missile's flight, the missile's speed is Mach 3. The launch range of the IRIS-T SLM missile is 40 km, the reach in height is 20 km. Judging by expert opinions, the complexes are inferior in some ways and superior in some respects to the air defense systems of Russia. There are many opinions on them, but so far air defense systems are not very popular on the market. Among the shortcomings, the possibility of recapturing the target with an infrared head at low altitudes is noted, but all this is guesswork, since the complexes did not participate in hostilities. The standard equipment of the air defense system includes a command post, radar and launchers with anti-aircraft missiles. The cost of the IRIS-T SLM complex is 178 million euros, missiles are 400 thousand euros.

It was forgotten because of the war, it was said that the USA has biological research centers in Ukraine, there was no news about them for a long time. Does anyone have any information?

Because it was nonsense. Russia was trying to raise alarm about biological research centers in Ukraine where academic experts from multiple countries collaborate to research various pathogens and viruses for medical purposes. This is a very common thing and even more hilariously Russia was one of the countries who was collaborating with other countries on research in said centers in Ukraine before they were banned in 2014. And they still collaborate with the US and other countries in labs around the world.

Basically a scary story to spook those who don't know what the purpose of said facilities actually is.

New rumors:

First M1 ABRAMS training completed , Tanks are in the Kharkiv region!

Estimated locations of the Iranian "instructors" in the Kherson region.

They can teach to launch or launch mopeds themselves from the area.

China may attack Russia - US national security analyst Craig Hooper.

China may abandon Taiwan and take over eastern Russia instead amid Kremlin weakness: US national security analyst Craig Hooper

"The grounds for 'reviewing' the Sino-Russian border are deep. China could easily find an excuse to cancel the current agreements by demanding that Russia return Vladivostok, as well as about 23,000 square miles of former Chinese territory, which Russia has owned since 1860," he added.

Beijing and Washington are moving closer.

Today, the leaders of China and the United States made a number of statements on mutual cooperation. Which can have a favorable effect on the fate of Ukraine and extremely catastrophically for the neighboring non-country.

The Russian army may again launch an attack on Kyiv from the territory of Belarus through the Chernobyl zone or the Chernihiv region, - General Staff

"They feel that they can break through the front neither in the south nor in the east.
Therefore, one of the options is the capture of Kyiv and the elimination of the military-political leadership. We are ready for this," Gromov said.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to advance in the Kherson and Luhansk directions, - British intelligence

In the south, further attacks are carried out from Mykolaiv, near Snigurivka and along the right bank of the Dnipro River. In the east, the offensive of the Armed Forces continues in two areas along the line of the Oskil River.

Instead, the Russian invaders continue to attack the positions of the Armed Forces near Bakhmut.

⏺Putin's appeal is going on right now! He makes a number of high-profile statements!

⚡️Putin: "Ukraine has historically evolved as an artificial state. The only real guarantor of Ukraine's sovereignty could only be Russia, which created it (!)"

⚡️"The danger of using nuclear weapons is always there, as long as it exists"


In his speech, Putin said that the West is fomenting a war in Ukraine, destabilizing the world food and energy markets, and also organizing provocations around Taiwan.


"We tried to improve relations with the West and with NATO"



Peskov: Putin's today speech will be read and re-read.

In the meantime, Putin's speech: heh, heh, the collective West is completely rotten, Russian culture is being canceled, globalization is bad...



Grandpa:
complains and criticizes the West for absolutely everything in the world;
stated that everyone except him is guilty of the war in Ukraine;
actually called himself a dictator: "The absolute majority of countries now demand democracy in international affairs, not accepting any form of authoritarian dictate of individual states";
has not declared war, capitulation so far too.

The only interesting thing is its appearance. Grandpa looks as white as death.

At the end of his speech, Putin stated with sadness that the collapse of the Soviet Union had destroyed the balance of geopolitical forces.

Bullshit, China ain't attacking Russia and demand Vladivostok anytime soon, not saying that the Chinese won't eye those but Taiwan remains China's core national objective.

In the meantime China hardly needs Russian land when Russia is on its way to become Beijing's junior partner. Beijing will flood Russia with their goods while simultaneously buy Russian gas on the cheap all the while ignoring Russia's request for help in the war effort.

Btw the Taiwan invasion is now predicted to happen before 2025. Instead of the 2027 and 2049 timeline widely believed before. So no, Beijing won't distract themselves into a European war.

Seems that Ukraine humiliation has taken its toll on Mr Putin's sanity.
He's dreaming of a new Soviet Union in the age of internet and social media.
His statements sound a lot like crying and complaining. People around him are too scared to guide him.
Russians need to get rid of him before he drags Russia and the world into a disaster.

Putin: "Stating that the West could not deal fairly with the rising economic and political power of Asia, Putin claimed that Western countries threw aside the rules of international relations in order to maintain their sovereignty and hold the countries they saw as "second-class civilizations". "Recent global events are heading towards systemic crisis, including in the economic sphere. We are witnessing war in Ukraine, a state of instability in Taiwan. The West is playing a dangerous and bloody game. The global crisis affects everyone. Sooner or later, the West, partner "We have to start negotiations about our future. The West is trying to control the development of other civilizations. The West has been blinded by colonialism. We have tried to develop relations and friendships with the West and NATO." used the phrases."

Putin explained the colonial attitude of the West very well.

Especially the economic, military, technological embargoes, sanctions and bans made against our country from the West, confirm this thesis of Putin.

How many years Putin has been in power, he did not attack anyone. So what happened was that he had to attack Ukraine. It is necessary to analyze it well.

The big takeaway i got is he has no answers to the actual war. He's basically moaning about the west, when in reality his entire aim should be to have won a quick and swift war. Not only has that completely failed but the longer the war drags out the more of the small gains they have in Ukraine are being rolled back.

Moaning about the injustices of the west, while the soviet union was just as unjust and the Russians where they can play the exact same games of destabilising nations, supporting terrorists against 3rd nations, is not the solution to their problems.

Claiming western domination is coming to an end when basic western support was enough for a nation like Ukraine to stop the Russian war machine is also retarded. The west/USA is actually in magnificent shape compared to Putins slavic east.

As time goes on you realise more and more that Putin is no more then a poser, he hasn't got the brains for what he dived head first into. Its playing out. He's done and he's really been done since the failed assault on Kiev.

And the problem the Russians have is no on can bring Putins name into disrepute. A thousand Russian TV shows moaning about the failure of the war, but none of them can mention Putins responsibility in it. If a nation cannot even point at the man responsible for the failure, unless you get a violent coup nothing can be done to revert course.

Ukraine asked United States for Avenger anti-aircraft systems - media

Ukraine sent a request to the United States for the supply of Avenger anti-aircraft missile systems. They are needed to fight Iranian Shahed-136 kamikaze drones, Foreign Policy magazine reported yesterday, citing several congressional sources and two Ukrainian officials.


(IMO US have a lot of old m163 Vulcans in inventory, with IIR cameras they would be also useful)

Russia has already carried out 4,500 missile strikes on Ukraine - Zelensky

Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the Russian Federation has carried out 4,500 missile strikes on Ukraine and more than 8,000 air raids.

President Volodymyr Zelensky said this in his evening video message to Ukrainians, which was recorded on the street next to the wreckage of an enemy drone.

"Energetic people, always charged for the fight! Its 246th day is coming to an end. We continue our resistance. The aggressor continues his terror. We are again attacked from the sky by a flock of their crows. Over 30 drones have been released in two days. The defenders of our sky did not allow the vultures to break through enemy deep into the country and landed 23 Shahids," Zelensky said.

His last role of the dice is terrorise the entire civilian population of the country in the hope that it brings Zelensky to the negotiation table and that Putin can at least maintain something from this failed war and then sell that to the Russian people as a victory. Its not going to work and as the various nations move anti-air assets into Ukraine these strikes will have diminishing returns while increasing Ukraine's offensive capacity in the long run since they will take more control of the skies above their offence units.

Interesting how Israel barely gives Ukraine anything I dont see the Western world getting butthirt about it.

Now compare this with Turkiye when the same West accuses Turkiye of working with Russia. Is that Turkiye is barely doing anything which is bullshit.

Whats interesting I havent seen any Ukrainian and Russian soldiers wearing the Altyn helmet in this conflict.

Israel serves an important geopolitical role for the USA.

International jewry also has immense influence across the globe.

Turkey is perceived as an enemy by pretty much all nations who have geopolitical ambitions in the region. Be it the USA, Russia, Iran, France etc.

While Turkeys billionaires make lots of money in Turkey, none of them really moved a finger to elevate the Turkish position internationally by say investing in media or funnelling money towards Turkish organisations. One or two international media outlets could rectify a lot of the negative perceptions placed against Turkey for example.

Then to make matters worse we moved into a world really since 9/11 where Islam has been reduced to the religion of the terrorists. Turkey historically being centre of Islamic power and Erdogan playing into the Islamist despot role makes it easy to demonise Turkey. Like when he wants to sees comedians from other countries who made a joke about him, or arresting people for making tweets. Ultimately it doesn't just make Turkey look bad it makes Islam look terrible.

I'm willing to bet that most people on earth who are not Muslim most likely have negative feelings towards Muslims. Nothing has really been done to counter the propaganda onslaught, in fact Muslims themselves made it worse by pushing dawah while trying to get people to convert. The entire dawah scene in the west is actually playing into the hands of the anti-islam brigade, it legitimises the narratives that Muslims only want to take over and enforce Sharia.

Isreali/jews on the other hand push narratives like the middle easts only democracy, the only friend of the west in the region or the shared "judeo-christian" culture of europe.

Turkey is much freer, much more democratic and far less racist and brutal then Isreal is to her minorities. But you wouldn't know it by looking at the international media.

Israel even calls itself a Jewish State.

Now imagine if Turkiye called itself an Islamic state.

The double standards is sickening.

I would not even call Israel a secular state when the Rabbis have a say in parliament but lots of idiots have the audacity to call Turkiye an "Islamic State".

Turkiye does not even have imams or priests in parliament but somehow its touted as an Muslim state
