An enemy Ka-52 and its crew, who attempted to evacuate, were destroyed by USF birds in Donetsk region. The enemy helicopter was hunted down using a fiber-optic FPV drone by the “Baltyka” crew of the 1st battalion “Predators of the Heights,” 59 Brigade of the @usf_army, in the area of Nadiivka (Donetsk Oblast). Following an emergency landing, the helicopter crew attempted to escape. To help out the enemy pilots, drones from the 1st battalion of the 414th brigade “Magyar’s Birds” arrived – and finished the worm’s trip.

@Osinttechnical Uh oh...

Footage of a chunk of downed Iranian ballistic missile landing on a car in central Israel a short while ago.

🚨🔥Full video showing a Russian Ka-52 being shot down and its crew killed after ejection by a drone operator from Ukraine’s 59th Brigade. Pokrovsk front.

@bayraktar_1love Scanning the area for potential survivors to kill? (The rotor marks in the field - MAY indicate - no ejection.) I hope there was/is video of the entire sequence.

🔥Russian Ka-52 burns on the ground after being shot down by FPV drone of the 59th Brigade. Pokrovsk front.

@bayraktar_1love 😁

🚨🔥 Minutes ago, a Russian Ka-52 attack helicopter was shot down by an FPV drone operated by Ukraine’s 59th Brigade on the Pokrovsk direction.

@fac_aut_morere @Trontir @Osinttechnical US not as stupid/inept as: 👉former "#2 super-power" As to Kharg imo-fwiw: Occupation not required, to shut down irans export ability. Sounds like a feint to me. "Look over here, while we abuse you over there..."

@Trontir @Osinttechnical Hostomel, with chinooks and apaches (maybe ospreys too)

The U.S. is considering plans to occupy or blockade Iran's Kharg Island to pressure Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz -Axios Axios also reports that two similarly sized units are heading to the region, bringing the total to 3 for potential invasion operations.

@UnionxG69982 @Osinttechnical If by your estimation ww3 is overdue, then now is the exact time to cut off Irans main source of income. "play stupid games. win stupid prizes"

@Osinttechnical WW3 is coming… Don’t touch that island it will be catastrophic for entire world.

@Trontir @Osinttechnical What? Might brush up on history, and come up with a more apt comparison.

@Osinttechnical Bay of Pigs reloaded?

@menotyou1941 @defense_news Same Army "experts" who said we need the M10 Booker? 🤷‍♂️ defensenews.com/land/2025/06/1… We're 'burying the lede' --> on this boondoggle Prolonged land war against who exactly? russia? No. That dog wont hunt Island hopping vs china? No Lining pockets with contracts & kickbacks? Yes

@13loopKnot @defense_news Multiple exercises and testing done by the entities formerly known as Futures and TRADOC have tested it out for future viability of towed artillery.

Opinion: The U.S. Army faces a critical modernization crossroads in field artillery. The KNDS RCH 155 offers a transformative answer. defensenews.com/opinion/2026/0…

@menotyou1941 @defense_news Based on what? 4 years of WW1 revisited? (trench warfare) Drunk/inept russians VS a neighbor w/ out means to properly take the fight to mainland russia?

@defense_news US field artillery officers understood that the birth of the drone was the death of towed artillery. That defense procurement refused to make progression it sooner is an embarrassment.

@defense_news Sounds like another waste of $$$ Cost vs Improvement over M777 Wiki (yeah, Iam lazy) .[11] Depending on the year, contract and systems package, the M777 has been exported with individual unit costs from US$2.025 million (in 2008) to $3.738 million (in 2017).[12][13]

@ksorbs Wasnt as expensive before the covid scam. Retailers milked the gravy-train, and they wont revert to pre-scamdemic pricing. That, and yes --> feeding the interlopers.

"Do you think food is expensive because 42 million people get it for free?"

@ksorbs Dont overthink this, here is what hes attempting to say: 👉Jesus = good 👉Roman Gov. that ordered crucifixion = evil Roman governor Pontius Pilate, who, pressured by the crowd, ordered his crucifixion...

What?

@shervshalmani @Osinttechnical Lets "asssume" the video is legit.. F-35 takes a direct hit 👉and survives 👈 Flys back to base and lands. How is that bad for marketing? As I recall, one f-117 was downed in Serbia. Shit happens Iran will continue to play the role of piñata en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_F-11…

@Osinttechnical This isn’t great for marketing

Iran just released footage reportedly showing one of its air defense systems successfully hitting an American F-35.

@bayraktar_1love Early reports on how the 3, US F-15s lost were wrong (as to how they were shot down) I'll wait for further information, before buying the Iran narrative being pushed online.

A US F-35 fighter jet made an emergency landing at US air base in the Middle East after it was struck by what is believed to be Iranian fire, according to the CNN

@Alphaalphj @Osinttechnical Better question: You think China is capable of a Normandy 2.0? In 2026 w/ 24-7 satellite coverage?

@Osinttechnical I wonder if China invaded Taiwan right now if the US could respond

Hegseth confirms that the Pentagon is requesting $200 billion from Congress for Iran war. "That number could move... it takes money to kill bad guys."

@LazyCuriositisy @Osinttechnical Fair point. Also, iirc --> The ATACMS variant (that was sent in limited number) were the shorter distance version. Bastards in the White House warned ruSSia beforehand, so they moved their helos out of range. courtesy of: Bidens ~ Jake "lets not escalate" Sullivan

@Osinttechnical Never knew that US is using 155mm in Iran or Ukraine is using Tomahawk missiles. How many Himars or M270 US sent anyway?

The House just passed a bill which would automatically deport illegals who commit welfare fraud, 231-186 You would think that this would be a no-brainer, but for some reason 186 Democrats voted AGAINST it.

@DefenceU @umftteam Tinnitus, delivered one drone at a time. Even if those fools survive the drone, Id hate to be on the receiving end of the blast --> in an enclosed space. 🦻

On the Lyman front, @umftteam is wiping out enemy shelters. No matter how deep they dig or how well they hide, they are found and eliminated.

@Osinttechnical Headline: "Long-haul Easter flights at risk....." 😅 a) Since when is Easter a huge travel period? b) The lemmings at The Times, could give a fuck about Easter.

Airlines have been warned to expect cancellations and some jet fuel rationing starting next month due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz -The Times Long-haul flights may be most affected, as airlines could have trouble securing fuel for return journeys.
