Yesterday, three Tu-95MS from Ukrainka Air Base were redeployed to Yelizovo Airport to take part in nuclear forces exercises. One Tu-142M3/MK from Yelizovo Airport was redeployed to Kamenny Ruchey Naval Air Base. There are now 18 Tu-142 at Kamenny Ruchey Naval Air Base. Today, one Il-76MD arrived at Yelizovo Airport. Two Su-30SM, which took part in exercises yesterday, have left the airport. Yesterday, an A-50U and an Il-20RT conducted a measurement flight during the launch of missiles at the Kura Test Range.

@RevengeofRatMan @avivector Because they are friends doing hard work which I think needs attention.

@avivector Why does @DefMon3 retweet these? Are we hoping they are targeted or something else I'm not understanding

Today, two Tu-95MS from Ukrainka Air Base were redeployed to Olenya Air Base and landed at 10:40 UTC. Yesterday, one Tu-160M from Ukrainka Air Base was redeployed to Borisoglebskoye Airfield. Yesterday, one Tu-95MS from Ukrainka Air Base was redeployed to Engels Air Base, then to Olenya Air Base. Yesterday, another Tu-95MS from Olenya Air Base was redeployed to Dyagilevo Air Base for maintenance.

@RevengeofRatMan @avivector Are you offering?

@squatsons @KyleJGlen You dropped that topic faster than you drop your hair 😂

OK, first off you’re taking a incredibly small sample size… So just analytically this whole argument is ridiculous. Second who does the most shopping mid afternoon? Like honestly what even is this post? Especially when Ukrainian men are getting punched into the back of vans…

I noticed approximately 70 women and less than 30 men. That's so weird. Where did they all go?

GeoConfirmed conflictmap UKR. We try to avoid statements but there are limits. After analyzing thousands of videos over more than four years, we feel we have earned the right to speak plainly: Russia is committing war crimes repeatedly and systematically and they are getting worse. The longer the West fails to respond decisively, the more these crimes continue. This inaction also sends a dangerous signal to other authoritarian regimes, suggesting that international law can be violated with little consequence. As a result, the boundaries of international law are becoming increasingly weak and difficult to enforce. The last few days have once again shown that the Russian regime is a terrorist regime that has little regard for humanitarian law: (1) After Ukraine agreed to a Russian 3-day ceasefire proposal, for the Russian commemoration of the end of World War II and its victory over Nazi Germany, Russia launched one of the most severe attacks on Kyiv since the beginning of the war, resulting in multiple civilian casualties. This stands in stark contrast to Russia’s public rhetoric about peace and historical memory. (2) It is not enough that Russia is deliberately targeting civilians in Kherson, also known as the “human safari”, it has now also started attacking clearly marked UN vehicles, which would represent another serious violation of international law. Attempts to hide or destroy evidence only make these actions more alarming. And its not the first time they try to hide or manipulate evidence. Western leaders, especially the Trump administration, should wake up instead of being so easily manipulated by the Russian regime. 0:00-0:17, location at 0:05 - United Nations (UN) vehicle was hit by Russian drones. 46.62328, 32.595023 JHFW+826 Kherson, Kherson Oblast, Ukraine 0:18-End - United Nations (UN) vehicles were hit by Russian drones. 46.621161, 32.576600 JHCG+FJ9Kherson, Kherson Oblast, Ukraine Great work by @99Dominik_!

@KyleJGlen @usf_army I see French intel is making a difference

Russia's air defence continues to be terrorised by Ukraine's @usf_army. Over March and April, nearly 80 SAM or Radar/Electronic Warfare systems were targeted. This is a 300% increase on the previous two months.

🔻 Satellite images of 🇷🇺 Orenburg-2 Air Base as of May 6, 04:04 UTC The air base housed 1 A-50U (Mainstay), 26 Il-76MD (Candid), 3 An-12 (Cub), 1 Il-22PP and 1 Il-22 (Coot-B). Between May 5 and 6, an A-50U arrived at Orenburg-2 Air Base to conduct a patrol mission or as a temporary forward deployment base.

Ukraine's campaign against Russian oil continued overnight. Fires were detected at the Primorsk port and fuel depot after an attack on Russia's Leningrad Oblast. Ukrainian surface drones also struck two oil tankers at the entrance to the port of Novorossiysk in the Black Sea.

Last night, Ukrainian drones struck a base containing launchers for Iskander ballistic missiles in Ovragi, Crimea. Despite being housed in hardened bunkers, it appears that damage was inflicted.

As evidenced by the footage from Ukraine's mid range strikes, it's very very possible that many of these fuel tanks haven't burned because they are empty. Russia has been suffering from fuel shortages and massive price increases since last summer.

🚨 ExpoElectronica 2026: how a Russian trade show enables sanctions evasion Dallas analyzed 719 participants of a major electronics exhibition in Moscow and uncovered a network supplying Western components to Russia – despite sanctions. Key findings: 📌 Russian importers continue sourcing electronics for the military-industrial complex; 📌 Chinese companies act as key intermediaries; 📌 Western components (such as Siemens) are routed via third-country intermediaries. Even small firms play a critical role in sustaining Russia’s access to dual-use electronics. ❗️Bottom line: sanctions on Russia alone are not enough without targeting foreign intermediaries. ExpoElectronica effectively serves as a ready-made database of potential sanctions violators. 🔎 Read the full investigation for details dallas-analytics.com/expoelectronic…
