Today, #Russia used a new warhead for the first time – specifically against metal power Transmission line structures…

Ukrainian :

"Today, the Russian Federation used a special warhead (#SW) – the "Flash" – on a jet-powered UAV for the first time.

This warhead was designed specifically to destroy high-voltage transmission towers and iron bridge structures. The SW consists of a 40 kg main warhead and four destruction modules. I believe the enemy plans to attack important high-voltage transmission lines."

Comment. Interesting news. Since a new warhead has been developed separately, this means these will be systemic strikes.

‼️🇺🇦✈️ More than half of #Ukraine's #F16s are inoperable, and soon all could be, — WSJ

▪️According to the publication's sources, with the current intensity of operation and repair rates, #Ukraine risks facing downtime for the remaining F-16 fleet by the end of the year due to maintenance issues.
▪️Among the reasons cited for the delays are a shortage of certain components and the increased workload on the aircraft in combat conditions, which may require maintenance more frequently.
▪️Scheduled F-16 maintenance is conducted after 300 flight hours and, in some cases, can take up to 40 weeks. The #Ukrainian aircraft are serviced by #Belgian #Sabena Aerospace Engineering, whose US contract is valued at up to $235.5 million.

🇮🇷❌🇮🇱🇦🇪 — Fox News #SeanHannity presses #Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu on whether Iran could be connected to the attack aboard the #Israel-bound #Flydubai flight.

Hannity:
"Is there any indication as of now of any Iranian involvement in this incident?"

#Netanyahu:
"It's too early to say."

Netanyahu:
"We will be following and possibly also participating in this investigation."

#Mossad publishes:
News of an explosion at a border crossing between #Iran and #Afghanistan
Reports of an explosion and a massive fire near the Dogharun-Islam Qala crossing on the border between #Iran and #Afghanistan.
More than 10 large trucks - reportedly loaded with energy products - were seen burning.
This crossing is a major land route for trade and transit for Iran, in light of the severe pressures Tehran faces regarding maritime shipping.
The causes of the incident and the extent of human casualties are still unclear.

On social media, some #Saudi bootlickers never tire of singing praises to the #AlSaud, but the reality is that the status of an ordinary #Pakistani there is worse than that of an animal. Harsh punishments for minor mistakes, prisons, humiliation, and oppression. Yet, we are still made to prove ourselves inferior before them.

📺The situation in #Kramatorsk continues to deteriorate under the #Ukrainian 🇺🇦 armed forces.

Starting today, all traffic lights 🚦 in the city will stop working due to the deteriorating security situation and high levels of FPV drone activity.

Public transportation is still running, but it too will soon cease operations.

As #Russian troops advance, local officials are rapidly turning the city into a besieged area, and near Kramatorsk, one can observe truly

📺Rosenberg of the BBC: Are you admitting that #Russia is waging a covert hybrid war against #European countries?

#Lavrov: Are you referring to the fact that we shoot down the drones and missiles that #Britain and continental #Europe supply to #Ukraine, which are then launched against us? Is that what you mean by a hybrid war ?

📺In #Kyiv, people are already lining up for water.

Previously, there had been reports of difficulties with the water supply due to power outages

A compilation of "Geran" strikes on power lines near #Kyiv.

Apparently, in addition to strikes on power generation facilities such as thermal power plants, combined heat and power plants, and hydroelectric power plants, they are also trying to disrupt the distribution of electricity from these facilities to consumers in the #Ukrainian capital.

According to the source, for the first time, drones equipped with cumulative-cutting warheads specifically designed to destroy high-voltage pylons and metal bridge structures were used. These warheads consist of a main explosive charge weighing 40 kg and four modules.

However, it is important to understand that destroying several power lines around Kyiv will not immediately cripple the entire power distribution system, as the system operates with multiple levels of redundancy, which the #Ikraine has further strengthened in recent years.

My salute to the Indian pilot Captain Smit Machchhar for his extraordinary bravery.

Despite being stabbed and seriously injured, he fought back, resisted, opened the cockpit door, and enabled passengers and crew to overpower the attacker — preventing a catastrophic mid-air disaster.

He saved the lives of 174 people, including Israeli citizens and other nationals.

I wish Captain Machchhar a speedy and full recovery.

He is a true hero.

An unusual incident also occurred in the skies over the #UnitedKingdom: a passenger threatened to blow up the plane.

This morning, a passenger was detained after he began shouting, "I want to blow up the plane, death to #America, death to #Trump." The suspect was subdued and detained at the scene.

@MahalaxmiRaman It seems Turkey is involved
