What if Iran is faking this and is just buying time? Time might be on their side.

Would there be any indication of the price range and how easy/difficult it is to produce?

Iran knows that Trump is panicking. If they keep Hormuz closed the pressure will build even more from his own party.

Iran needs to hold out till the midterms to make it truly painful for Trump.
They have been preparing for this. Iran needs to be lucky once to win this, US needs to win all the time.

Someone must prepare and sign off on what he will say. There must have been some meeting and a decision this was a good thing to do.

The only reason I can come up with, is that they want to re-enforce the lie, Goebbels style. Just repeat t until everybody believes it.

It does not seem to work.

It needs to have golden interceptors and gold in the name in order to sell it.

Meanwhile Ukraine is busy setting up vpn’s to become “the man in the middle”….

He should be as far away from those codes as possible.
His toddler rage fits can lead to anything.

It might be time for the US to evaluate who is the biggest present danger to the US.

Look mum, I was there when Russia was burning to the ground, and I have the picture to prove it.

Is it also not just the nose cone dropping like a dead duck?
Could it have broken up by a turn too sharp for the frame to handle (up for example to take out the speed)?
Guessing here, my missile knowledge is limited to wikipedia.

At tax rate of 25% (corporate tax rate according to google, AI answer, so might be wrong), that is also a 5 billion loss for the government.
Their search for funds will become even harder.

Since this is one of their stated goals, you would think it is significant and someone would notice if it is mentioned again, and again.

The art of the deal.....
Blow up your own negotiations, because you can't resist the urge of going online and write on your social media.
What will it take before republicans finally realize he is actually driving the US of the cliff? (and the rest of the world with them)

Last year Ukrainian intelligence estimated Russia had around 11000 S-300/S-400 missiles.
Russians themselves wrote about BUK systems loaded with 1 or max 2 missiles.
Recently a Russian blogger wrote about missile shortage in Pantsir as well.

Is he afraid Adam Kadyrov may get more medals than him?

Indeed, Ukraine seems to get more drones through then Russia.
And they also seem to be able to target them accurately.

Did that ever happen before? Or would this be a first where EW managed to do this?
Very impressive in any case.

Thx. And for the record: you being woman did not even cross my mind here.

The lack of communication between AD units and perhaps even lack of AD/ammo/radar seems to seriously increase the likelihood of Ukraine getting a drone to strike.

You are right, and I sincerely apologize for this.
I do not like disrespectful writing on socials, so I should definitely hold myself to that standard.
I deleted the post, as it it is inappropriate.
I hope you can accept my apologies.

War is perfectly fine for them, when they think they are winning.
The reality starts to sink in with more and more Russians.
Propaganda is now probably not very successful to convince people they are winning

The art of the deal on full display

Much more useful to compile one of an honest one, they are much more rare

This fire look even more broadly spread then before.
The most interesting here is Russias complete inability to protect such a key asset.
They know export ports are nr 1 on the Ukrainian priority list.

Donald dump

For Russians, it is just another day in Russia.

There is another guy negotiating the same way. Who is that again?

And also shows a gradual decline of US influence on weapons deals.

Also not a bad use of a ground drone.
So let’s settle in a compromise: drone to tow arty, and drone to tow ammo with it😁

Sunday, markets open tomorrow. Guess what this message was for.
