@nexta_tv Iran has tons of mountains. Bunker busters are cool and all, but they won't cut through an entire mountain. (they can however bomb the entrances)

🇮🇷 Iran has released footage of a massive underground air defense base The systems are hidden in giant tunnels. Iran has long been building so-called “missile cities” deep underground to protect its arsenal and show that it’s not easy to destroy.

@ClownWorldWar5 @TheMarcitect Cellphones have a battery that holds a lot of power. Some batteries can release all this at once if stimulated correctly.

@TheMarcitect Our cell phones. One day the phone of everyone spreading antisemitism will just explode in our pockets and faces.

My gut is still telling me that the exploding pagers were a beta test for something bigger.

@Kabalie4 @nexta_tv It's typically Tang what was eaten. Those in the video all look different pet breeds and well taken care off. Clearly an engagement media.

@ClySuva @nexta_tv Please do tell me what breeds they do eat, according to you?? x.com/giovannitweet/…

🐶 In China, 7 stolen dogs escaped from a butcher’s truck and walked 17 km home led by a corgi! In Jilin province, seven dogs were stolen for sale at a dog meat market and loaded into a van. But they managed to escape — and what followed looks like a movie. Instead of scattering, they stayed together: forming a protective circle around an injured German shepherd, while a corgi led the way. Over two days, they covered about 17 km across roads and fields — and made it back to their owners. Escape mission: accomplished. 🐾

@libertarian_ass @aakashgupta If you listen to the recording he is both vectoring planes and talking to the fire truck. Clearly doing too much and I highly doubt it was his choice

@aakashgupta Not true. The incoming flight would be handled by tower. The fire truck is talking to ground. The aborted take off could be talking to either depending on where it was. This is not a lack of controllers issue.

The air traffic controller cleared the fire truck onto the runway. Seconds later, the same controller screamed “stop, stop, stop.” The plane was doing 93 to 105 mph. Both pilots are dead. Everyone will frame this as controller error. One controller was simultaneously managing a United flight that aborted takeoff after an anti-ice warning, dispatching a fire truck across an active runway, and sequencing an inbound Air Canada landing at highway speed. At 11:40 PM. On a mandatory overtime shift at a facility that has been understaffed for years. A system that assigns one person that workload will produce exactly this outcome. The only variable is when. The FAA is short approximately 3,000 controllers. The headcount dropped 13% from 2010 to 2024 while flight volume rose 10%. Over 40% of the FAA’s 290 terminal facilities are understaffed. The New York TRACON, which manages the most congested airspace in America across LaGuardia, JFK, and Newark, has been chronically below target. Newark was operating at 59% of its staffing goal. LaGuardia handles 900 flights a day. The hiring pipeline is broken at every stage. Only 2% of applicants complete the full process. Training takes up to 6 years. The FAA Academy in Oklahoma City is a bottleneck, with roughly 35% of trainees washing out. Congress blocked legislation to build a second academy. In one recent hiring cycle, the FAA brought on 1,512 candidates and lost 1,300 in the same window. Net gain: around 160 controllers for an entire country. Three things need to happen and everyone who can make them happen has known for years. Congress needs to fund and authorize a second FAA training academy. One facility in Oklahoma City cannot produce enough controllers for 900 million annual passengers. Members of Congress from Oklahoma have actively blocked this. That needs to end yesterday. The FAA needs to cut certification time. Six years from application to fully certified controller is absurd. The agency’s own data shows tower simulators reduce certification time by 27%. They’ve installed them at 95 facilities. That should be every facility, and the simulated hours should count toward more of the certification requirement. The FAA needs to stop plugging staffing gaps with mandatory overtime. Controllers at understaffed facilities are working six-day weeks rotating between morning, mid, and night shifts. The NTSB has flagged fatigue repeatedly. The controller last night was managing overlapping emergencies during a nighttime operation. Overtime is not a staffing plan. It’s a countdown to the next runway collision. The controller said “I messed up” to a Frontier pilot who watched the whole thing. The pilot responded “No man, you did the best you could.” One of them is right. The answer determines whether this happens again.

@CailinasEirinn "We'll crush you like the Titanic crushed the iceberg!"

@JPLindsley @VeikoSpolitis Because it's Russian info op trying to cause FUD. We are fully aware of the threats, we have intel and we are not taking any of this lightly. May I remind you: Estonia was not among those who said 2022 is just a disinformation campaign.

I'm confused at the anger from Estonians against those who are saying the West needs to wake up. I was in Ukraine in January 2022 when sharing real warnings about Russia was also dismissed as Kremlin disinformation. I'm not saying that's the case now, but worth considering. The amount of noise I personally have heard about this has become nearly unbearable, so, believing sunlight to the best disinfectant, I share what I hear. If you can offer knockdown proofs that this is baseless, please do, with all sincerity! That's what I want to hear.

A narrow river. A Russian-speaking city in Estonia. A 48-hour window before the Alliance has to decide whether it means what it says. Is Nato ready? Read: How a Russian Attack on the Baltic States Could Unfold: A Strategic Thought Experiment ⤵️ underfirenews.substack.com/p/how-a-russia…

@idiocracypark @wartranslated Exactly. It was not designed to cause damage, they intentionally chose a target that is very unlikely to harm anyone or anything just to test radar coverage and be a vague threat

@ClySuva @wartranslated Target in the middle of icy lake 🥶

A spokesperson for the Lithuanian Armed Forces, Major Gintautas Čiūnis, said that a drone that had flown from Belarus crashed in Lithuania. He added that the UAV was not detected by radar and was not noticed by border guards. The moment of its fall was captured on video. lrt.lt/naujienos/liet…

@UnhingedMuppets @SteveLovesAmmo Cats do get kidney and bladder stones. And yes it is one of the reasons they can cry. 😅

Today's PSA: Some wild animals, especially large feline species, have been known to pass kidney stones. The More You Know.... Just kidding; I made that up.

What a Canadian Lynx sounds like out in the wild. Sounds like a thing out of nightmares.

@Twee_Papillon It's clearly a shahed drone, aimed at the lake to test LT response. There's no way it accidentally crashed in that tiny lake.

I have my own opinion about what it was, when it happened, why it happened, and how it happened. But let the Lithuanian 🇱🇹 authorities answer these questions.

@HumanityChad Cool cool, how about adding stairs though? 😅

Statue of that famous rescue act

@jfwfreo @GrandpaRoy2 These are all civilian hobby components. You can freely buy them online. Although there are sales restrictions on Russia they're probably bought in any neighboring country and smuggled over the border.

@GrandpaRoy2 If western components are ending up in Russian or Iranian weapons, a investigation should be done to figure out how they got there and take action to shut down whatever methods are being used by the bad guys to obtain those parts (with any entities involved hit with sanctions).

A downed Russian “Klin” strike UAV has a 5 kg warhead and Li-AFB batteries (Anode-Free Battery). These are manufactured without a graphite metal anode, which instead is formed by lithium metal depositing directly onto a copper current collector during the first charge. 1/

@Rebel44CZ Looks clean and nifty. But it doesn't look all that modular or field serviceable which quickly becomes an issue if you're trying to stay ahead of the enemy EW measures

$20K per small recon drone... The US DoD doesnt seem to be even trying to get decent value for money.

@dfoxcs @nexta_tv Hungary was never directly in Soviet Union so they have much softer memories of the Regime. This definitely has an impact on how they see Russia.

@nexta_tv Unbelievable that a Hungarian would work for Russia. Do they teach history in their schools or is this a legitimate retard they found?

🥸 Hungarian spy under cover: Ukraine’s SBU identifies network handler Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) has identified an officer of Hungarian military intelligence who ran a spy network in Zakarpattia in 2025. The officer is Zoltán Andre. According to counterintelligence, he built a network of agents who gathered data on air defense systems, Ukrainian troop deployments, and local public sentiment. Among those recruited were a former serviceman and an ex-contract soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. They passed on information about the region’s military defenses and the situation on the ground. The SBU says recruitment was carried out in part through diplomatic channels: people were offered money and various benefits, while meetings were held under cover. Two members of the network have already been detained, and efforts to identify the rest are ongoing.

@SpaghettiKozak @RepOgles So we're doing crusades again? I thought we are going back to 1930s not 1130s. 😬

@RepOgles You have the mind of a child who suffered repeated concussions.

This is a battle of good vs evil. We must reaffirm that our nation was built on Christian principles. ✝️ Join Us 🇺🇸

@sapitonmix To activate Article 5, all members have to approve. I am 60% sure that US under Trump will either reject it, or delay it. So it's up to members to decide whether they get involved or not. Russia is definitely curious what will happen and how fast the response wil be.

There’s no question that Baltic states are in NATO, and that’s good, just not sure where those missiles will be pouring from and what are they in the first place. A dozen of German Taurus? The US will not join any campaign against Russia, so the gap is wide open.

@brockpierson Today you mean? It's only 5am here! (Yes I did)

Be honest. You used it... DIDNT YOU

@foomagemindset To be fair your odds are never great when you're faced with infinity. Because once in a billion chances are guaranteed to happen infinite times. Fortunately you probably don't have to face off with infinite cats. 😆

@ClySuva Its conceivable, but I think my odds are good.

I’m infinitely smarter than a cat. If I had to outsmart infinite cats, I would win. Yet I’m nice to cats. Why should I worry about an infinitely smarter AI?
