Just invade this flat part

Breaking: The U.S. is allowing Cuba to receive a major oil shipment from Russia. The tanker is about to enter Cuban waters, and the Coast Guard will not confront it, according to a U.S. official. This breaks a monthslong U.S. oil blockade. w/ @EricSchmittNYT

@andriyhaydash Interesting cause it posted a massive loss last year Surgutneftegas posts net loss of 439.7 bln rubles in Q1 2025 vs. 268.5 bln rubles profit a year earlier share.google/EmUd6kZ2tXYREY…

Fun fact: Kirishi oil refinery is owned by a big RU oil company called “Surgutneftegaz” This company is also an interesting one as it has 10s of billions of $ in cash in banks and never has problems with RU government bodies 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

@RALee85 @slantchev They should ring RU MOD for some education in learned lessons

A war with Iran was an obvious scenario for CENTCOM and Iran's ballistic missile and OWA UAS capabilities are well-known. The lack of underground command posts and hardened shelters—or even concrete barriers between tents, which were common at bases in Iraq and Afghanistan—at bases well within range of Iranian missiles and drones suggests a deeper problem about how the US military draws lessons. How many senior officers and DoD officials have traveled through these bases and didn't ask about this? Are our bases in INDOPACOM similarly vulnerable? Congress should ask our defense leaders some hard questions.

@RheinmetallAG Especially housewives

We have the utmost respect for the Ukrainian people’s immense efforts in defending themselves against the Russian attack - now for more than four years. Every single woman and man in 🇺🇦 is making an immeasurable contribution. It is to Ukraine’s particular credit that it is fighting highly effectively even with limited resources. The innovative strength and the fighting spirit of the Ukrainian people are an inspiration to us. We are grateful to be able to support 🇺🇦 with the resources at our disposal. @AKamyshin

@NatalkaKyiv 1 April telegram ban

Fellas! Something big and self-destructive is about to happen in Russia in 2 days, and no one is talking about it… It’s real, and I’m translating it now. Please repost it when I post it tomorrow.

@Aviation_Intel This is starting to read like an angry Russian milbloggers pleading the Ru MOD

Hopefully there will FINALLY be a real wake up call here on hardened infrastructure for air bases. They (DoW leadership) have and are living in a fantasy land with this. It's maddening. It's easier to kill your most potent combat aircraft on the ground, where they sped the vast majority of their lives, often broken, than in the air. Overwhelming air defenses is just a math/procurement/tactical equation. This is Iran. China will be a bloodbath. The entire thing is bonkers. How many years have we been beating this drum?

@ChrisO_wiki @PhillipsPOBrien

Maybe ask *why* the US hasn't publicly acknowledged it?

@UkrReview 40% is abysmal with the current geopolitical situation

🚀 European missile company MBDA is scaling up production of Aster missiles to SAMP-T air defense systems, Storm Shadow cruise missiles and Meteor air-to-air missiles by 40% in 2026, according to the company's official website.

@IAPonomarenko He's clearly jealous

Well, with all due respect to Rheinmetall, that really was a pretty ill-considered statement.

@GirkinGirkin Big if true

Тривожно 🫂

@bayraktar_1love Such a beautiful place

/3. On-site footage from Chapayevsk shows the Promsintez chemical plant in Russia’s Samara region after the FP-5 “Flamingo” strike.

🔥Footage shows tonight’s launch of FP-5 “Flamingo” missiles targeting the Promsintez plant in Chapayevsk, a critical site linked to explosive production and supply chains for the Russian military.

@joni_askola Or any other weapons

Nice lie. The US hasn’t provided any of the missiles and drones Ukraine currently uses to strike oil refineries in Russia

@MalcontentmentT @prestonstew_ Don't forget to paint some shitty decoys

@prestonstew_ Vladimir Putin called, he suggested old tires

Ideally hardened structures over every platform. Next best is even temporary overhead cover followed by cheap nets. After four years watching Russian planes get destroyed on the runway, no excuse for our aircraft to be this vulnerable anywhere.

@ryangrim How much is the US spending on weapons for Ukraine?

Every Ukrainian attack on Russian oil infrastructure drives up oil and gas prices and helps Iran against the U.S. — and the U.S. is providing the weapons to Ukraine to attack Russian oil infrastructure which helps Iran. IOW: We are spending our own tax dollars to drive up oil prices that will fund Iran’s war effort. Sorry to repeat myself but I feel like people aren’t getting it.

@pussyrrriot The real Russian opposition

Pussy Riot occupies headquarters of American tech company Ubiquiti which powers Russian war crimes Since the disabling of Starlink, Russian soldiers been panicking: “All we’ve got left now are radios, cables and pigeons.” But Ubiquiti’s hardware has emerged as the favorite replacement.  We demand that Ubiquiti: - Obey U.S. sanctions - Acknowledge Russian military use - Work with Ukraine to stop it

@ahauslohner @IlvesToomas @SecRubio That is not 'after this thing ends' Rubio

US @SecRubio told G7 the US is NOT expecting the Strait to re-open 2 traffic as usual by end of war. "After this thing ends...one of the immediate challenges we’re going to face is an Iran that may decide that they want to set up a tolling system in the Strait of Hormuz” 1/

@ianbremmer Not sure anyone trusts the US anymore

what if this time trump promises not to kill any iranians involved in negotiations?

@shustry Let's see how those Legos perform against traditional tanks

I asked Europe's main producer of tanks and artillery what he thinks about the cheap drones wrecking all those tanks and artillery pieces in Ukraine. "This is not innovation," he said of the Ukrainian weapons. "This is how to play with Legos." An exclusive interview with Armin Papperger in my profile of his company, @RheinmetallAG, whose stock price has grown 15-fold since the Russian invasion, as the Europeans buy up all the tanks and artillery he can produce. Out today @TheAtlantic. Gift link below.

@WarMonitor3 While expending a significant amount of their own tomahawk arsenal

The United States can only determine with certainty that it has destroyed about a third of Iran's vast missile arsenal 5 US officials told Reuters.
