❗️Russian channels report that Ukrainian military forces have begun using new AGM-188A Rusty Dagger cruise missiles from the American company Zone 5 Technologies under the ERAM program.

The missile is claimed to have a range of approximately 930 km and a warhead/payload mass of 225 kg.

If Armenia and Azerbaijan can develop a working relationship then this opens the door for Kazakhstan and the other post-Soviet republics to form a trans-Caspian route to escape de facto Russian landlocked on their trade

Armenia election results: 97% of votes counted
Pashinyan: 49.83%
Karapetyan: 23.35%
Kocharyan: 9.93%

Tsarukyan: 3.98% (below threshold)

America is not automatic. Our tech & economic advantage only exists because of America’s unique DNA that from our founding combined talent, capital, risk tolerance, universities & smart immigration. In the Age of AI this unique American combo is more valuable than ever! 🇺🇸🚀🎯

Russia is considering lowering the country’s working age to 12 and reopening Soviet summer labor camps to replace workers lost to the war in Ukraine.

Moscow’s child labor commissioner argued that “the return of labour camps is a realistic scenario that our children will support”

They have beer, but they don’t have gas. What happens when the beer runs out?

@R_P_one @heatloss1986 Can’t remember the name but there was a flight sim circa 1994 that let you fly Eurofighter among other aircraft. What made it hard wasn’t operating the aircraft or even navigating & finding the target, but getting put on war crimes trial if you missed or damaged anything else

A hotline has been set up in Russia for tourists that are having a hard time leaving Crimea. Side effect of the Ukrainian drone strikes but likely to affect a more affluent side of Russia than the rest of the war.

Congratulations to COL Tim Price for taking command of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment! Tim was my first company commander, an incredible mentor and I'm honored to call him a friend.

He's the definition of a great leader, 2CR is in great hands.

[Jonathan Jeckell @jon_jeckell]

@yarotrof @Rebel44CZ It also might pop Putin’s bubble. His reality distortion field apparently has him believing he is winning, but the reality of stuff blowing up in his presence is hard to square with that.

[Jonathan Jeckell @jon_jeckell]

This would take a lot of time and money to build, and meanwhile Europe is at full gallop to renewables and other energy security measures.

Meanwhile, this would run through a lot of insurgent infested areas, and would absolutely get stirred up by Russia.

❗️Africa will supply gas to Europe instead of Russian gas, — Business Insider.

Nigeria, Niger, and Algeria have begun construction of a gas pipeline through which up to 30 billion cubic meters of natural gas per year is planned to be delivered.

This will accelerate hoarding and Soviet era buying it just so you have it, accelerating shortages, etc

[OSINTtechnical @Osinttechnical]

Some grocery stores in Russian-occupied Crimea have started rationing products after panic buying and shortages caused by Ukraine’s mid-range strike campaign.

Seen here, multiple signs notify shoppers of purchase limits on staples like rice.

[Jonathan Jeckell @jon_jeckell]

Armenia and Georgia also hold enormous implications for the future of Kazakhstan and the other former Soviet republics de facto land locked by Russia, China, and Iran. (And if you are feeling sporty, Afghanistan).

If either or both turn toward the EU it opens a corridor

[Neil Hauer @NeilPHauer]

Armenia's election tomorrow has taken on immense geopolitical implications. Russia has tried its hardest to shift the results, but what can it achieve?

Increased fuel costs may be boosting Russian oil prices but they are also hurting exports of everything else due to shipping costs

Unfortunately, fuel is by far the most dominant export

[Stanimir Dobrev @delfoo]

Prices for Russian 6000 and 5500 kcal coal on the Asian market have reached records highs since 2024 due to external events in Indonesia, China and the Middle east. But Russian coal remains deeply unprofitable as some logistics costs have more than doubled since March.

[Roy🇨🇦 @GrandpaRoy2]

Russian blogger Svyatoslav Golikov (Philologist in Ambush) fears that after their success in throttling Russian logistics on the route to Crimea, Ukrainian UAVs will target the vital M4 highway linking Moscow itself to Rostov-on-Don, the main Russian transport artery in the war.
