Russia has been doing consistent simulated missile launches with bombers for the past 5 or so days, while Geran drones fly around Ukrainian airspace. Sometimes they actually launch a few missiles, but nowhere near the usual amount. They actually launched just a singular Kh-101 stealth cruise missile the other day. They’re also using unusual numbers and types of planes (7 Tu-160 bombers tonight!).

This account has the best coverage: https://t.me/s/AMK_Mapping . Seems like they have sources inside Ukraine’s air defense units.

As many as 17 Tu-95s are now airborne, all of which have combined into one group, heading south to the potential launch lines in Saratov Oblast.

I have a feeling tonight is gonna be another fake-out, but maybe that’s what they want us (Ukraine) to think

As many as 20 Kalibrs were reportedly launched from the Novorossiysk port. They will arrive in around 40 minutes.

Seems like something big might be happening.

• 16 Tu-95’s
• 7 Tu-160’s
• 4 Su-34’s (could carry missiles)
• 4 ships in the Black Sea
• Iskander ballistic missiles

Missiles are now making impact. Things look mostly aimed at Kiev so far.

The green and blue flashes make me think this is Russia deleting what’s left of Ukraine’s power grid.

My mouse buttons are acting all flaky again. I swear they require the air to be slightly humid to work properly.

So you’re not allowed to attack ISIS for their religious beliefs either?

I think that’s a fake news account.

It’s probably not far-fetched to say “happy = more brain chemicals = improvement in dementia symptoms”.

I guess the question is: why is Biden so happy?

North Korean M1989 self-propelled artillery guns spotted in Krasnoyarsk, Russia heading west.

Ah, but that’s where you’re wrong. They do happen, but only along train tracks (Avdiivka, Ocheretyne, Pokrovsk).

Guess what there is along that southern arrow I drew.

After what seemed like forever, Russian forces finally reached Kupyansk city, and likely captured the eastern half. Ukrainian forces may have retreated across the Oskil river.

This is potentially another Vuhledar-scale development. Once Vovchansk falls (it’s just a matter of time), I think Russia might do this:

ICC warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant likely delayed yet again

Florida isn’t even a swing state anymore, so the gusano vote shouldn’t matter to the Democrats. They have no “good” reason to continue the blockade.

Brandon is hitting Cuba with the hurricane and earthquake guns in a desperate attempt to defeat the revolution before he leaves office.

I think the coating itself should be rough and porous to absorb radar properly, but the actual shapes of the surfaces should be flat to reflect (away from the radar source) anything that doesn’t get absorbed.

Both are multirole stealth fighters with naval variants, so yes, they are roughly equivalents. China needed something a bit more flexible in doctrine than the J-20 (land-based air superiority only), and this is that.

I’m no expert, but the J-35 does indeed seem much simpler and likely easier to maintain.

More pretty images of China’s J-35A from the Zhuhai airshow, this time in flight.

Look how clean the underside is compared to the F-35:

Ansarallah took down another US Reaper drone.

What’s the count at now? 13? Why do they just keep sending them???

That sounds like a tacit defeat for Russia to me. I don’t think Putin will accept that.

Russia’s main goal is to prevent a fascist, Russophobic, heavily-armed NATO member on its borders, which is why they were willing to pull out in 2022 for a guarantee that Ukraine would remain neutral. Territory isn’t really that important.

Ukrainian sources (grain of salt) say a new major Russian counteroffensive started in Kursk with many armored vehicles.

I’m inclined to believe it, because I saw some signs a month ago:

I saw a few videos recently of large train shipments of vehicles with North Group markings. Notably, there were lots of MRAPs, which I’m starting to think are a good indicator of planned offensives (both Russia and Ukraine seem to use them that way).

By the way, I bet the troops involved in this are Russians, not North Koreans. If there really are 10k soldiers from the DPRK, I suspect they’ll be kept near the border as a rapid response unit in case Ukraine tries anything elsewhere.

Vermin Supreme really fell off

Write-ins got 1.28% of the vote in New York, or 101,340 votes. I don’t know what the candidate breakdown looks like, but still, the total is pretty impressive.

For context, no third party presidential candidates got ballot access due to the Democrats’ voter suppression efforts.
