It's unclear whether all of the missiles shown in the video are Khorramshahr-4s. Another variant, the Khorramshahr-1, the latest version reportedly used by the IRGC Aerospace Force during the war, uses a cluster warhead. The two missiles are visually very similar, but they can be distinguished by the shape of the warhead.

Both missiles use a booster with a diameter of 1.5 meters. However, the Khorramshahr-4 (left) warhead is approximately 50 centimeters taller than that of the Khorramshahr-1 (right), giving it a noticeably taller and slimmer appearance. In addition to the differences in warhead shape and height, the overall body lengths differ by roughly 1.7 meters.

Shame on Ireland for its double standards: it keeps saying it supports Ukraine, but 80% of its aluminum production goes to russia to fuel its death machine that is murdering Ukrainians on a daily basis.
The greed for profit is leading Europe to its own destruction.
A disgrace.

Excellent work by the Unmanned Systems Forces. This time, FP-2 drones struck: the ‘Pantsir-S1’ missile system in Crimea, the ‘Neva-B’ and ‘Neva-B2M’ coastal radar stations, a Project 1454 specialised tugboat, temporary base of the 5th Battalion of the 3rd Army Corps, the command post of the 92nd Brigade of the 1st Division of the Black Sea Fleet, a temporary base of the 110th Motorised Rifle Brigade of the 51st Army, and the UAV workshop of the 589th Motorised Rifle Regiment of the 27th Motorised Rifle Regiment of the 2nd Army. We thank the Unmanned Systems Forces for their fruitful cooperation.

"The Pantsir and Neva radar system in Crimea have been neutralised; a concentration of command and staff equipment as well as the headquarters of the 3rd Army Corps of the Russian Federation in Shyrokyne, a tugboat and other targets have been destroyed.

On the night of 2 June, several SBS Birds carried out operations deep within enemy territory. Two enemy air defence elements and other military targets were destroyed. In the village of Shyrokyne, the temporarily occupied territory of Donetsk Oblast, the dislocation site of personnel and a group of command and staff vehicles and lorries belonging to the 5th Separate Command Battalion of the Russian Federation’s 3rd Army Corps was set ablaze. Several dozen command and staff vehicles and trucks were identified; the destruction of 11 of them has been confirmed, with further reconnaissance to determine the exact figure.

The targets were coordinated by the newly established Deep Strike Center of the Unmanned Systems Forces.

Thanks for your interesting article! But we shouldn't forget the North Korea's missile - according to GUR claims Russia received roughly 150 KN-23/24 in 2024 and the same amount of such missiles in 2025. It could be true, that this year is delivered the same figure of them. And bwt the Soviet/Russian S-300/400 are actively used too against various targets in Ukraine.

Short summary below.

1/5

[Denys Shtilierman @DenShtilierman]

Москва буде палати доти, доки ціна цієї війни не стане для неї неоплатною. Це не популізм, це холодний розрахунок.

Є лише два сценарії, за яких ця війна реально закінчиться. Перший — повний розвал Росії як імперії, що буде нездатна далі загрожувати сусідам. Другий — повна і безумовна капітуляція. Третього не дано.

Усе інше, що нам пропонують під виглядом «миру» — це не закінчення війни, а пауза в ній. «Заморозка», «перемир'я», «компроміс по територіях», «нейтральний статус» — усе це Кремль використає рівно для одного: перевести дух, перезброїтись і вдарити знову. Уже сильніше, уже з урахуванням помилок, можливо — по Європі, щоб оточити Україну, розуміючи важкість війни з нами.

Так було завжди. Історія не залишає місця для ілюзій.

У 1783 році Росія підписала з Грузією Георгіївський трактат — договір про протекторат із гарантіями захисту грузинського царства. А коли у 1795 році на Грузію напала Персія, російські війська просто пішли, кинувши союзника напризволяще. Тбілісі був спалений вщент. Згодом Росія взагалі ліквідувала грузинську державність і анексувала царство. Гарантії безпеки на папері обернулись знищенням держави, яку ці гарантії мали захищати.

У 1918 році совєтська Росія підписала з УНР мирний договір, визнала незалежність України де-юре. Минуло кілька місяців — і та сама Росія знову зайшла зі зброєю. Договір був для них просто способом виграти час і перегрупуватись.

Чечня пройшла цей шлях ще наочніше. У 1996 році підписали Хасав'юртівські угоди — фактичне визнання поразки Росії, виведення військ, відкладений статус Ічкерії. Чеченці святкували перемогу. Минуло три роки — і Москва повернулась у Другу чеченську. Підсумок: зруйнований вщент Грозний, знищена незалежність, понад двадцять відсотків населення вбито. Хасав'юрт не зупинив війну. Він просто дав Росії час підготуватись до знищення супротивника.

Цей механізм незмінний століттями. Імперія, яка живе за рахунок поглинання сусідів, не зупиняється від підпису на папері. Вона зупиняється тільки тоді, коли фізично перестане існувати у таких рамках.

Тому ціль зрозуміла, і вона не змінюється від політичної кон'юнктури в чужих столицях. Не «прийнятні умови». Не «гідний мир». А знесилення Росії до стану, коли вона більше не зможе вести агресивні війни в принципі. Через її економіку, її армію, її здатність виробляти зброю і фінансувати фронт.

Кожен спалений НПЗ, кожна знищена нафтобаза, кожен уражений завод і термінал — це не помста і не символічний жест. Це методичне вибивання ресурсу, на якому тримається ця війна. Це й означає «зробити ціну неоплатною».

Ми не повинні домовлятись з імперією. Ми повинні зробити так, щоб вона більше не змогла бути імперією. Це єдина гарантія безпеки, яка реально працює.

Apparent wreckage of Russia's controversial 9M729 (SSC-8) cruise missile observed in Ukraine.

Russia initial deployment of the ground-launched 9M729 was accused to be a violation of the then INF treaty given an assessed range in excess of 1000km.

There has been no official information about the use of a second 'Oreshnik IRBM' that likely failed hitting near Donetsk city.

Here is proof 2 were used.

1. The camera that recorded the first fall of a 'Oreshnik IRBM' is located in Donetsk city looking towards the north. The MIRVs can be seen entering extremely quickly meaning that the impact site is close likely outside Avdiivka, Donetsk region

2. To compare the speed and distance I put together a video showing the entry from both Bila Tverska (Seen from Kyiv) and the entry near Donetsk city.

3. The 'Oreshnik' near Donetsk was likely a failure, who knows.

[Saakov Valerij @SaakovValerij]

@RocketSchiller These guys have geolocated the second Oreshnik impact in the vicinity of Donetsk: https://t.co/lb0JJ2PFPV

[Saakov Valerij @SaakovValerij]

@RocketSchiller Perhaps.... Btw, this Ukrainian Telegram-canal says, that there were TWO Oreshnik launches that night. The first missile, according to claims, stuck the occupied Donbass...https://t.co/W4mM2bGLqU

[IISS News @IISS_org]

Russia said on 12 May 2026 that its Strategic Rocket Forces had conducted the second successful test of the Sarmat ICBM.

The launch brings the design one step closer to deployment following two previous failures.
