@XREALGames That it will never actually be released. It's mid July 2026!!

@JimmySecUK Congrats, Jimmy. With you @francisjfarrell the Kyiv Independent has the best in the business

Personal news; after over four years working in Ukraine as a freelance journalist and security analyst and working for many different and excellent publications I’m happy to announce I’ve now joined the Kyiv Independent as a special correspondent.

.@Jack_Watling on just how close run it was in 2022. "Whether the Russians made it through Mykolaiv and into Odesa came down to whether a Russian brigade was prepared to attack across a causeway, and they were en route to do it." samf.substack.com/p/the-kremlin-…

@CLRans82 I've been keeping an eye on it. Not sure whether to dive in or wait for it to get finished...

@FnahtanoJ you will love Geronimo which has just come out for PCVR. Still early and lots to work on, but the most promising VR tactical shooter I've seen. It's got a lovely KS1 in it

England is the only country to ever win the men's World Cup that doesn't share a land border with another country that has won a men's World Cup. Norway and Morocco are the only teams left which could join that list this year.

@sportingintel @richardosman Love you Nick, but might need to have another look at the Pyrenees and what lies beyond them!

@richardosman Apart from Spain. If you got “O” level geography, let alone “A” level, there are serious questions to answer. This alone could bring down Pointless and the BBC..,

Well guess what, it was always clear it's actually that they can't use it.

Unique footage of the Auchan Operation—a brilliant asymmetric strike where tech and precision planning halted a Russian mechanized offensive for 6 months. This deep-rear operation struck 949 targets in just 3 days, forcing Russia to withdraw heavy armor. Recently, we repeated the operation with a newly developed munition specifically targeting enemy artillery, hitting another 231 targets. Across both phases, 1,180 enemy targets were hit. My sincere thanks to Lasar’s Group of the National Guard of Ukraine, the 412th NEMESIS Unmanned Systems Brigade, and all the other service members who made this operation possible.

@edwardstrngr65 Thought you would be interested in this debate @AmosFox6

Versions of this argument proliferate widely. I remain unconvinced that even the US forces have some magic ‘manoeuvre sauce’ that allows them to ignore the lessons of Ukraine and operate how they would prefer purely because they will it. This short, manoeuvrist war paradigm is very seductive. But what if it is wrong?

'[Without the US] Europe could not fight a war of manoeuvre. “It would be a war of denial, attrition and endurance that trades speed for sustainability and seeks to win over time rather than at the outset,” writes Mr Stewart.' economist.com/international/…

@AlistairCarns Yes, but don't forget counter drone tech too and traditional systems. Ukraine is working on counter drone solutions to allow it to use armour again - it needs protected mobility to advance meaningfully. War needs an orchestra, not a single instrument
English
Droning on!!!
The Telegraph@Telegraph
Former Armed Forces Minister @AlistairCarns has urged NATO to learn lessons from Ukraine. Speaking to @DomNicholls and @venetiarainey, he says only by mirroring Ukraine’s drone capabilities can European allies effectively deter Russia.

@David_Hambling @KofmanMichael @yarotrof Major change for sure, but we shouldn't be too hasty on revolutions. Let's wait for the CUAS auto turrets - things haven't balanced out yet

@KofmanMichael @yarotrof Drones have also been around a long time, and like, gunpowder, they are eventually bringing about major change

Good article by @yarotrof in which I talk about knights and pikemen
Yaroslav Trofimov@yarotrof
The way of war is changing, as shown by conflicts in Ukraine and Iran. Are the hundreds of billions of dollars being invested today in new tanks, planes and warships going to become the equivalent of buying horses and arrows on the eve of machine guns and howitzers?

AH-64 bros are gonna eat so good with this one. The good old days never left. Instant buy.
Jammin Games - Gunship Origins@jammingames
@oldyzach @dantemendes I’m making Gunship Origins, a combat helicopter game in the legendary Gunship line published by MicroProse. It has multiplayer co-op (including same helicopter), pilot career progression, dynamic campaign, and VR support. I appreciate wishlists! steam.jammin.games

Exclusive. @talkSPORT has been told Jordan Henderson is in a Mexican hospital awaiting transfer to Kansas for operation to a Broken Radius (a bone in his arm) following yesterday's freak accident during the post game celebrations

@jeromestarkey Wasting its time given they are all in port getting repaired!

The Russian Bear-F maritime patrol aircraft (a Tupulev-142) appears to have been hunting for the carrier’s submarine escort.
The MoD said it “dropped a large number of sonobuoys in close proximity to the carrier”

🚨 Unsafe & unprofessional”
A Russian Bear-F aircraft harassed HMS Prince of Wales in the High North.
The MoD said: “The Bear-F passed at low altitude and unnecessarily close to HMS Prince of Wales
“This activity was unsafe and unprofessional.“

@timstillman_ I do hope Big Weng finally wakes up to the FIFA reality and resigns - a great man shouldn't be associated with this organisation
English
FIFA has explicit statutes preventing political or government interference. This should be a resigning matter for a repeatedly disgraced FIFA President.

🚨 Exclusive: The White House made a direct call to FIFA to ask Gianni Infantino to review Folarin Balogun’s red card. FIFA approached for comment and referred to the findings of its independent committee. FIFA sources insist White House influence could not affect the decision due to the powers contained in Article 27 and the independent nature of the disciplinary panel.
