Our long-range responses had a very significant impact in the Moscow region last night. One of Russia’s key oil industry facilities and the aggressor’s logistics facility were hit. These are billions of dollars that sustain the war machine. The systems used included FP-1, RZ-100, MICH-2000, Palianytsia, Vendetta, Liutyi, Bars, Flamingo, Sichen, and Pelican.
I thank our warriors for their accuracy: the Security Service of Ukraine together with the Unmanned Systems Forces, the Special Operations Forces, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, and the Foreign Intelligence Service. Sanctions were also imposed on a facility in the Voronezh region. Moscow must end its brutal war and choose peace instead of building layered rings of air defense at the expense of other regions. Steps toward de-escalation are on the table – in energy and food security. What is needed is political will. I thank everyone who is strengthening Ukraine’s long-range capabilities. I am grateful to everyone who complements our long-range responses with responses through sanctions. Glory to Ukraine!
Despite Trump’s claims... An assessment by Ukraine’s @KSE_Institute found the US-Iran war had a far bigger impact on global diesel and gas oil supplies than Ukraine’s drone strikes. It estimated Gulf exports fell by 152mn barrels between March and August, compared with a 68mn-barrel drop in Russian exports over the same period. “The cumulative loss from the Persian Gulf was therefore around 2.2 times larger,” it said. https://t.co/PgtkHBBDjj
I honesty did not get this post, until i looked her up. I was sure that was Ivanka. But then again, when I figured out what's actually going on here, i wasn't really that surprised. I guess Trump and Clinton have more things than the Island in common...

🔻 Satellite images of 🇷🇺 Engels-2 Air Base as of September 5, 08:00 UTC
In early September, construction began on the first of sixteen aircraft shelters at Engels-2 Air Base.
Estimated shelter dimensions are roughly 63 by 63 meters, with 7-meter sidewalls and a peak height of 17 meters.
Behind the hangars under construction, jet blast berms were built to deflect powerful jet blast upward.
Paving is underway on the taxiway that will connect the hangars to the main air base.
🚁 How does a key US treaty ally maintain direct operational links with sanctioned Russian defence conglomerates? The answer lies in South Korea’s dependence on its legacy Russian Ka-32 helicopter fleet and a critical enforcement gap in East Asia.
🕵️ Internal procurement documents obtained by Dallas Analytics reveal that South Korean operator HeliKorea initiated direct outreach to sanctioned Russian state entities – including JSC 322 Aircraft Repair Plant and Rostec subsidiary JSC NASC – to secure Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) pathways for these dual-use rotorcraft.
Key findings from our latest supply-chain investigation:
📌 Sanctions Exposure: Private MRO outreach directly targets sanctioned Rostec subsidiaries, bypassing Republic of Korea, US, and EU export control mechanisms.
📌 Institutional Disconnect: By treating dual-use aviation maintenance as a localised operational matter for line agencies, South Korean trade authorities disclaim oversight of secondary sanctions risks, leaving private firms legally exposed.
📌 Moscow’s Strategic Dividend: Circumventing sanctions fails to enhance South Korea’s long-term security. Instead, it perpetuates reliance on Russian aviation sector while allowing Moscow to monetise these operational lifelines.
Neutralising these grey-zone procurement channels requires stringent end-use verification and aligned state oversight across East Asian aerospace hubs.

Today, one Tu-160M from Borisoglebskoye Airfield was redeployed to Engels-2 Air Base.
Today, one Il-76MD or Il-78M and one An-26 arrived at Engels-2 Air Base.
Yesterday, one Tu-160M from Ukrainka Air Base was redeployed to Engels-2 Air Base and returned.

🔍 How do foreign machine tools reach the builder of Russia’s military satellite launchers?
Following our investigation into Russia's Khrunichev Centre, Dallas Analytics confronted the Asian manufacturers identified in internal procurement documents.
What we uncovered goes far beyond procurement lists:
🎭 Rebranding & Concealment: Russian "manufacturers" mask foreign origins – relabelling Taiwanese and Chinese tools as domestic.
🛑 End-Use Blindspots: Manufacturers in Taiwan, Japan, and China either lack basic end-use verification mechanisms or turn a blind eye to secondary market routes.
📜 Sanctions Gaps: Key intermediary entities and rebranded product lines remain unsanctioned by Western jurisdictions.
Private-sector voluntary compliance and regional efforts are falling short. Closing these loopholes requires coordinated state intervention and full deployment of EU market access leverage.
