A fantastic view of a Ukrainian Flanker lugging a pair of US-supplied JDAM-ERs. What makes this combo wild is that legacy Soviet avionics on the Ukrainian Su-27 can’t natively talk with NATO smart weapons! Ukrainian engineers bypassed this technical barrier by using specialized pylons that allow the crew to program target coordinates into JDAMs on the ground or via a tablet inside the cockpit. This is the ultimate fusion of Cold War heavy metal and 21st-century digital improvisation.
Here we ago.
Ukrainian FP-1 long-range strike drone equipped with optoelectronic complex for real-time guidance overflying the Novokuibyshevsk oil refinery in Russia's Samara Oblast, over 900km from Ukraine.
Perhaps the first evidence of the FP-1 long-range OWA-UAV being equipped with camera that allows the operator to steer the drone onto the target in online mode.
Until know, the FP-1s were known to be guided only through the pre-programmed route, with real-time guidance being a feature in shorter-range FP-2 OWA-UAVs.

Our warriors have achieved good results in applying long-range sanctions against important facilities on the territory of Russia and in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.
More than 700 kilometers from our state border, in Russia’s Yaroslavl region, SSU warriors struck an oil facility that was important for the reserves of the aggressor state.
Warriors of our army reached their targets in Russia’s Tula region – specifically, the Azot plant, whose operations are critical to explosives production capabilities.
Air traffic restrictions were imposed at six Russian airports, and overall, since yesterday evening, 28 regions of Russia have been under air raid alerts.
There were also hits on the occupier’s military logistics in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine.
Ukraine is carrying out its plan of long-range sanctions against Russia and the assigned tasks regarding mid-range strikes in response to Russia’s refusal to end this war. We have offered the Russian leadership every possible format for negotiations – and the only response was continued aggression and attempts to expand it. It stands to reason that the war is coming back to where it came from. Ukraine needs peace. Glory to Ukraine!
The UAE is releasing billions of dollars to Iran as part of a deal to reduce bilateral tensions and assist with reopening the strait.
It could be as much as $20 billion. $3 billion has already been delivered, confirming rumors from earlier this week.
The move comes after the emirates emerged as the single largest target for Iranian missiles and drones during the war.
From confrontation to accommodation. https://t.co/VDyadqw6wK
