@Osinttechnical It's funny how Oreshnik is some insane new weapon in the minds of many and now they feel that 'meh' feeling since Kyiv didn't somehow disintegrate from its use. It's repurposed Soviet tech. It's an IRBM, nothing like an ICBM. It's very expensive, more useful for propaganda.

Footage of a Russian Oreshnik IRBM hitting Kyiv tonight, with its submunitions clearly seen.

@APEXENIGMA6 @Osinttechnical If you are a Trump supporter I can understand why you think you have all the leverage. Now think what the evil NYT and so on were saying all this time, and what Trump said, and what will happen in reality. Then vote accordingly in the future.

@Osinttechnical There is no fucking way this is the real deal they literally have no leverage we have everything why would we capitulate and not capitalize on our position we need to return to full scale operations

The US peace deal with Iran includes reopening Hormuz, an end to the blockade, releasing $6 billion in frozen funds to Iran, and the withdrawal of US naval forces from around Iran -Al Mayadeen

@hey_itsmyturn Elect a clown, get a circus.

IRGC-owned Fars News: """ Trump's Claim Regarding the Return of the Strait of Hormuz to its Previous State Is Baseless According to Fars News Agency, despite Donald Trump's recent claim on "Truth Social" that the Strait of Hormuz has returned to its previous condition and that an agreement is being prepared for signing, investigations by Fars reporters indicate that this assertion is unsubstantiated. Based on the latest exchanged communications, should a potential agreement be reached, the Strait of Hormuz will remain under Iranian management. Although Iran has agreed to allow the number of passing vessels to return to pre-war levels, this by no means signifies "free passage" to the pre-war status. Consequently, the management of the strait, including route determination, timing, passage procedures, and permit issuance, will remain exclusively under the discretion and management of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Therefore, Trump's claim in this regard is flawed and does not align with reality. It is worth noting that Trump had previously declared negotiations regarding Iran's nuclear program as one of the primary and inseparable conditions for any agreement. However, no commitment has been made by Iran, and the nuclear file has not been discussed at this stage. American officials have reportedly acknowledged in numerous messages to Iran that Trump's tweets are primarily promotional and intended for media consumption within the United States, advising against paying attention to these statements. """

@LindseyGrahamSC So perhaps, maybe you should have gone into the conflict with a coherent strategy, clearly defined goals and the means to achieve them? Wild thought, I know.

If it is perceived in the region that a deal with Iran allows the regime to survive and become more powerful over time, we will have poured gasoline on the conflicts in Lebanon and Iraq. A deal that is perceived to allow Iran to survive and possess the ability to control the Strait in the future will put Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Shia militias in Iraq on steroids.

@NOELreports This will create friction with EU populations, right-wing populists will get elected and we will all suffer for it. The way forward is for Ukraine to implement reforms needed for EU and for Europe to not waste time and accompany Ukraine, especially on the technical level.

❗️Zelensky said Germany’s proposal to give Ukraine EU “associate” membership without voting rights is unfair. He said Ukraine defends Europe fully, not partially or through half-measures, and deserves equal rights and a fair approach inside the bloc. #Ukraine

@wartranslated Moscow hogs all the AA assets available. Do they somehow not know this or are these rhetorical questions?

Russian military bloggers are starting to piece together the real reasons behind the fuel shortage – Ukrainian strikes on oil refineries and ongoing attacks on the land supply corridor to Crimea. One blogger wonders why these strategic facilities were never properly protected.

@SaladinAlDronni Security meeting -> Russia gets all info -> Iran gets all info, that annoyed some people I guess.

Sounds way more interesting than some media are reporting. Her skeletons are quite a sight to behold so maybe it's a proactive move.

@RapidResponse47 @POTUS And all MAGA care about is apparently their pet conspiracy theories about uranium sourcing. War going on, going badly, involving crazy people with potential access to nukes and all they can think of is Hillary and Obama. Dregs of humanity.

"Can they keep their highly enriched uranium?" @POTUS: "No. We will get it. We don't need it. We don't want it. We'll probably destroy it after we get it — but we're not going to let them have it."

@NOELreports I like that he's talking about fuel shortages in Russia as a potential problem when Russia should've been exporting a LOT of oil/oil products right about now.

Kremlin spokesperson Peskov said the Kremlin sees no risk of fuel shortages from Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian refineries. The denial comes as major plants have halted or cut output and occupied Crimea faces visible fuel pressure. #Russia

@hey_itsmyturn And let's not forget Ukraine and how well their decision to give up their nukes turned out.

@hey_itsmyturn The problem is that, given Gadaffi's Libya and North Korea's trajectories, they are absolutely correct in doing so. They will either have nukes or face destruction. If they suddenly cared about Iranians it'd be another story but that ain't in the cards.

As if anyone would expect anything else than IRGC (Yeah, not Mojtaba’s decision for sure) not allowing the handover of 400+ Kg of Uranium out of Iran, which is one of the most valuable bargaining chips fir then

@NOELreports So in Russia's opinion, liberation means either complete devastation or complete devastation but with nukes so it is extra uninhabitable later.

Lavrov said Russia does not want to inflict excessive damage on territories it “liberates” and remains open to negotiations. He said Moscow is consistently carrying out the tasks of its so-called special military operation. #Russia

@Osinttechnical IIRC the guy who got saved late was hurt and hid somewhere for a couple days, right? Obviously he has balls several sizes bigger than mine but that doesn't really make for a riveting film. The crews doing the rescuing, yeah I can see that.

Update: Michael Bay and Universal are officially developing a movie about the massive rescue mission of the F-15E crew shot down by Iran last month.

@Faytuks In another life, Putin the real-estate agent realized his dreams of conquest by buying every single house in Donbass.

But trust me, the Russian victory is just around the corner. We just need another 100k soldiers in the meatgrinder to capture another town with a pre-war population of 53

It's crazy to think about how tens of thousands of Russian soldiers are being sent to their death to capture 4 houses in Donbas

@delfoo Vassal state but with nukes. That's your future for the next couple generations at least, Russia. Thank Vlad for it.

39 people. Putin went to China with 39 people, all 5 deputy prime ministers, half the council of minister, he brought Nabiulina even. And stayed there for under 2 days. And he got nothing and as per usual China wants prices Russia can't afford when it comes to Power of Siberia 2

@NOELreports US demands things, presses for things, so on and so forth. It also removes soldiers, changes its defensive posture, stops aid for Ukraine. How about get fucked as a response? Or you can use it as a card to play. But Vance has to ask publically and politely.

❗️Bloomberg reports the US is pressing Ukraine to convince European countries to ease restrictions on Belarusian potash. Washington has already lifted part of its own limits after Lukashenko’s regime released hundreds of political prisoners, but the effect remains limited without European sanctions relief and access to Baltic Sea transit routes through countries including Poland and Lithuania.

@sporkworks @Rebel44CZ Yeah ok if you see that picture and need to do a diatribe on 'destroyed' and 'damaged' and whatever other iteration there is something wrong with you, sorry.

@Rebel44CZ Technically, ‘destroyed’ means ‘damaged beyond repair.’ All destroyed things are damaged, but not all damaged things are destroyed. Squares and rectangles.

If this aircraft is "damaged", I think people working for the Congressional Research Service should buy new glasses before redoing this list...

@bayraktar_1love Does it have any capability to evade an interceptor if it detects it?

Interception of a Russian Shahed fitted with an R-60 air-to-air missile and a rear-facing camera for detecting interceptor drones.

@Rebel44CZ Honestly, Ukraine could add a 0 to anything US might buy and it'd still be a good deal in comparison to US production. Unless the US get serious and don't want to enrich specific people but what's the chance of that.

If true, Ukraine should appropriately (massively) adjust the price paid by the USA...

@hey_itsmyturn @POTUS Ah, we're on to the important things here, I see. What oil trade, what global economy, what nukes, Trump's own, personal ego is where it's specifically at. Republicans are the stupidest people this world has ever known.

President Trump @POTUS: "If Iran surrenders, admits their Navy is gone and resting at the bottom of the sea, and their Air Force is no longer with us, and if their entire Military walks out of Tehran, weapons dropped and hands held high, each shouting “I surrender, I surrender” while wildly waving the representative White Flag, and if their entire remaining Leadership signs all necessary “Documents of Surrender,” and admit their defeat to the great power and force of the magnificent U.S.A., The Failing New York Times, The China Street Journal (WSJ!), Corrupt and now Irrelevant CNN, and all other members of the Fake News Media, will headline that Iran had a Masterful and Brilliant Victory over The United States of America, it wasn’t even close. The Dumacrats and Media have totally lost their way. They have gone absolutely CRAZY!!! President DJT"
