You know your high-tech air defense is a total joke when it gets completely outsmarted by a weapon that looks like an ordinary flock of migrating birds... 🦅💥
Ukrainian forces have officially pushed drone warfare into pure science fiction territory. They deployed a swarm of bio-mimetic drones against the Engels-2 strategic bomber base near Saratov. These drones are custom-designed and programmed to mimic the exact migration patterns and natural flight formations of birds.
And guess what? Russian radar systems didn’t suspect a thing. They probably assumed it was just geese heading south—right up until the "birds" suddenly dove onto the main runway, taxiways, and bomber hangars.
The dramatic results speak for themselves in image_63cf3a.jpg: massive explosions and absolute devastation. Several of Russia’s prized Tu-95 and Tu-160 strategic bombers were severely damaged by secondary blasts as the hangars went up in flames.
Imagine being in the Kremlin right now, realizing that your multi-billion dollar defense grid can't tell the difference between a seagull and a deadly explosive. Grandpa Putin will probably order his air defense to start shooting at literally everything with feathers from now on. 🤷♂️🦆

The "Needle of Koschei" of Russia's Energy Sector
In the Yamal tundra, near the Pravaya Khetta River, lies what is considered the most vulnerable point in Russia's gas industry — the "Yamal Cross." At this tiny junction, 17 major gas pipelines, each 1.2–1.4 meters in diameter, intersect. Under enormous pressure (54–100 atmospheres), they carry thousands of cubic meters of natural gas every hour.
If anything were to happen there, 57% of Russia's electricity generation could disappear.
The consequences for Russia's domestic infrastructure would be catastrophic. This single hub handles 85% of all the natural gas produced in Russia. Disrupting it would immediately leave vast regions without power. The energy systems of the Urals and European Russia would face rolling blackouts, while the country's largest industrial plants and factories would be left without electricity and heat.
When I was a kid, back in the Soviet Union in the 80s, we wondered: Why are there steam locomotives parked at every railroad station? (They have not been used for decades.) That's for the case of a big war, preparedness, was the answer. Fast forward to 2026, Putin's Russia.
@BiggerTruth As reprehensible as this character is, worse was the silence of scientists who knew of the lab origin of Covid, and those that covered it up. That's why we ended up with this guy, and his boss.
“It’s unbelievable the number of weak papers, scientifically weak, are being used to say it’s a natural origin”
Simon also discussed this subject in the most recent episode of @SciFrTheFringe's "In Defense of Virology"

Wow. So as per these internal emails, Fauci did in fact give his own views on COVID origins, pushing the market origin theory, and personally recommended that the IC consult specific coauthors of "the attached paper" for its 2021 90-day presidential COVID origins review.
ODNI staff then debated internally whether it was appropriate for a "policymaker's recommendation" to influence who the IC consulted, particularly given the "strong views" those scientists already held.
They also explicitly recognized Fauci’s conflict of interest for reviewing the IC’s origins assessment paper because of his NIH/NIAID role (as a "customer").
So yes, Fauci did shape the expert input to the IC COVID origins assessment.
notice this email somehow escaped every NIH FOIA production since 2020, despite sitting in the middle of the fairway of both search keywords and email recipients.
@gdemaneuf@SenRandPaul Fauci knew he could be held culpable for causing an outbreak that could cause millions of deaths and trillions in losses, and was terrified he would face reputational damage, administrative penalties, criminal prosecution, and civil liability.
So he defrauded the public.
@stevenemassey@dkupiecki We didn't "need" the DNI to "tell us" what they were doing, and all she did was churn up known information to give relevance to Russian propaganda. As for which microbes they have and where, only the BTWC staff at the UN have the ability to ask a sovereign nation.
@stevenemassey@dkupiecki Claimed non-transparent. BTWC had an official consultative process with Ukraine in '22 and procured access to all requested information. Nuland's comments pertains more to the danger of Russia stirring something up in a captured lab.
@stevenemassey@dkupiecki Not at all. US funded such labs all around the world, including Africa, and even in Russia. Same for NED funding, which poured into Russia to promote democracy there, as much, if not more, than to Ukraine. The US unabashedly promotes democracy, and biosafety standards.
@stevenemassey@dkupiecki The microbes can very well have been nasty and that still doesn't prove anything. Yelling "Nuland" and "biolabs" is a dead giveaway of Russian propaganda and Putin simping.
As far as I can tell, Tulsi’s big “secret biolab” bombshell is recycled Kremlin propaganda. These labs were never secret.
The U.S. spent decades funding biosafety and disease-surveillance work abroad under Nunn-Lugar, with the facility lists posted publicly by the State Department and our own embassy in Kyiv.
Russia invented the “secret bioweapons” spin in 2022 to help justify invading Ukraine. Our own intelligence flagged it as disinformation. Now Tulsi is laundering that exact line, while conveniently forgetting the first Trump administration funded this same research.
Nothing was hidden and the only thing being manufactured here is the coverup.
Tulsi, don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
@R_H_Ebright@emilyakopp Kopp discredits herself giving voice to the Russian propaganda of a Russian asset who had just promised us something about Covid origins but gave us this drivle instead.
