Three Russian aircraft in a single operation: a Su-33, a MiG-29 and the Orion strike and reconnaissance drone were taken down by the Unmanned Systems Forces.
They also destroyed a "whole zoo of enemy air defense assets": 8 radar systems, an S-400 division position in Gelendzhik, and 2 air defense systems - Tor and Pantsir.
11 out of 14 targets were successfully hit in Russia’s Rostov and Krasnodar regions, while the remaining three were struck in occupied Crimea.
Zelensky has confirmed what Moscow presumably suspected when one of its Iskander launchers stopped existing on Saturday. Ukraine is now running a dedicated operation to hunt Russian ballistic missile launchers near its borders, and it just bagged one.
The logic is brutally simple. With Patriot interceptor stocks running on fumes, you stop trying to swat the arrow mid-flight and start shooting the archer. Iskanders fire from mobile launchers in Bryansk and Kursk, minutes from Ukrainian airspace. Find them, kill them.
Russia launched nearly 200 ballistic missiles in July alone, a wartime record. If you cannot intercept them all, the arithmetic points in one direction: fewer launchers, fewer missiles. Kyiv has done the maths.
WE DON’T WANT TO BE YOUR STATE, ASSHOLE! Canada wants the benefits of NOT being American. You can fucking keep your mass shootings, explosive diarrhea, measles & E. Coli.
You can’t take control over us. We’re not some 13-year-old girl on Epstein Island.
Sit the fuck down.
BREAKING NEWS: White House insiders leak that Scott Bessent, who has no idea why oil prices are rising, will be meeting with Pete Hegseth, who has no idea why he lost a war to Iran, and President Trump, who has no idea why anyone believed his campaign promises.
Canada is one of our closest allies and friends. Not our enemy.
And the President’s self-defeating tariff wars will only raise our prices, and further drive Canada away. Probably irreparably.
Time to stop this insanity.
Congratulations to Ukraine on its Independence Day! 🇺🇦 Now more than ever, Ukraine is teaching the world the meaning of independence and how and why it must be fought for. A great shame that it is still fighting alone against Russia and its axis allies.
LMAO. Hunter Biden just destroyed Donald Trump.
“My dad at 81 years old secretly got on a military aircraft, went to Ukraine, took a train for 16 hours to Kyiv as the first President of the United States to go into an active war zone. Donald Trump fits his fat ass into a food cart truck and brings his work wife with him instead of the guy that carries the nuclear codes."
Ontario Premier Doug Ford:
“Trump is the type of person that would steal your lunch money the first day. He'd steal the toque off your head the second day. & the 3rd day he'd steal your running shoes. He is not to be trusted whatsoever. We need to stay united”🇺🇸🇨🇦
Former MI6 officer Christopher Steele: "I think Trump is Russian asset. If you look at Trump's behavior and policies, he always gives Putin a soft time. Everything he does seems to benefit Putin, either consciously or unconsciously. Trump is Putin's greatest asset in the world."
Marco Rubio: "For years to come, there are many people on the right...that are going to be having to explain and justify how they fell into this trap of supporting Donald Trump because this is not going to end well.” (2016)
Fox News is forced to tell there viewers that Trump has just started a trade war with Canada.
This is going to make prices in America soar even higher just in time for the midterms.
Democrats need to win the House and Senate so they can stop this insanity.
Rick Wilson: When Trump threatens consequences for any country that helps Iran, it means except for Russia, North Korea, or China. They are all helping Iran. Russia is helping Iran more than anybody, and Trump will never do anything against Russia, ever, ever. He's a Putin simp.
In my view, we have two major challenges: ballistic missiles and funding for Ukraine’s defense.
We are supposed to receive €30 billion in European funds, which we are awaiting. They are tied to the adoption of the relevant legislation. And here it is very important that parliament work – the entire parliament, including the opposition. Because neither the government nor the opposition has this €30 billion, and the money is needed for the defense of the entire country.
In addition, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine currently has a budget shortfall of $27 billion. At the beginning of the year, decisions were made at the Ministry to use in the first half of the year funds that were intended to be disbursed in the second half, and that money went toward drone production and other needs. Now, in the second half of the year, those funds need to be compensated for and supplemented.
Of that amount, we need $8–10 billion to ensure a normal start to next year, because this money is effectively needed in advance – to provide weapons and everything necessary for January 2027. Another nearly $20 billion is for the salaries of our military personnel, payments to the families of those killed, and other areas of funding. A lot of money is needed. I am working on this with the French and the Germans. Practically, we need to bring forward the second portion of the European funds allocated for Ukraine, and this is an extremely difficult task.
From a conversation with journalists (2/3).
15 innocent civilians were murdered in Kyiv, Ukraine yesterday in another vicious Russian ballistic missile and drone attack.
Russia is a terrorist state. I don’t see how anyone can defend Russia. Russia is deliberately trying to kill civilians. And they are succeeding because Ukraine doesn’t have Patriot Missiles.
The biggest criminal of the current world in the church. Yesterday he had about 15 people murdered in Kyiv, today about 20 in Kryvyi Rih. This criminal and terrorist must be convicted and punished just like the fascists in Nuremberg in 1946.
This is outrageous. A free press cannot function under constant threats and retaliation from the government.
Reporters must be free to hold those in power accountable — without fear of retribution.
The assault on the free press must end!
Today, I was informed that the Department of Defense is firing me for insubordination after I told a CBS reporter that I work for Stars and Stripes – not the Pentagon, not any administration, and not any policy maker.
