@maksymeristavi @taz_news Ist ja auch ein Mega-Buch! Liegt in meinem Büro, damit es möglichst viele Menschen in die Hand nehmen.

Dankbar für diese mega Rezension meines Buchs von Jens Malling in der heutigen @taz_news taz.de/Buch-ueber-rus…

“Mir war klar, dass niemand die richtigen Worte verwendete, für das was geschah. Dass es sich um einen kolonialen Krieg handelt. Einen Krieg mit dem Ziel, ein ganzes Volk zu brechen. Eine Art Krieg, den Russland im Laufe der Geschichte immer wieder gegen die Ukraine geführt hat”

@Dmitro622248 uuuuu - one of our beautiful 69th Sniffing Brigade trucks... I am really sorry for you guys!

As I’ve said before, a pickup truck isn’t a luxury for us— it’s our chance to survive. Today, unfortunately, the enemy took away two of our chances at survival, but we managed to save a soldier who was nearly dead. Friends, please repost Please donate I have followers with over 100,000 subscribers; I urgently need your support right now 🙏🙏🙏 Please, don’t be indifferent 🙏🙏

#FiverFriday $50 to @jana_skhidna and defenders of Pokrovsk You can endlessly watch three things: how the fire burns, how people donate, and how soldiers receive the necessary equipment. Cars, Drones, and EW 🍯send.monobank.ua/jar/yzzi7qW5w рр — yana.statna21@gmail.com

@DeeLavMusic still here

I've been in the #NAFO movement for about 4 years now & I've met so many wonderful people in that time! But lately I haven't noticed any people who were here 2/3 years ago...Where have you guys gone? Have you noticed that there aren't many FELLAS from the first echelon? Sad…😞🇺🇦

I believe it is worth revisiting just how utterly tragic EU accession has been for some of the most recent member states to join, and, in doing so, explain why all local anti-EU actors, for all the backing of Donald Trump and Russia, will always ultimately end up defeated. 🧵

We urgently need shotguns to counter fiber optic drones on the front line. These are increasingly used against our positions, and in #Kramatorsk making them especially dangerous. A shotgun provides a critical last line of defense at close range when no other option works. Cost per unit is $560 USD. Each one directly helps protect our soldiers and civilians. Please share 🙏 next.privat24.ua/payments/form/… Help us protect the skies in Donetsk Oblast. #Support93 #SupportUkraine

MAGA calls Europe freeloaders. Here’s what they’re not telling you. ​1. Ramstein Air Base, the most important US military hub outside America, is built on German land provided rent-free, with Germany contributing hundreds of millions to its upkeep. The US couldn’t replace it anywhere in the world. 2. Every US military operation in the Middle East, Africa and Central Asia flows through Ramstein. Lose it and US power projection in the Eastern Hemisphere is crippled. 3. The UK provides and maintains RAF Lakenheath used almost entirely by the US Air Force. Italy provides Aviano. Greece provides Souda Bay. Turkey provides Incirlik. European land. European infrastructure. American operations. 4. The US Sixth Fleet depends entirely on European ports for fuel and supplies. Souda Bay, Naples, 11 Greek ports. Without them the Sixth Fleet cannot operate in the Mediterranean or project power into the Middle East. 5. The majority of NATO’s intelligence and surveillance capacity is hosted on European soil and fed directly to the CIA, NSA and Pentagon. 6. Early warning radar at Fylingdales, UK. Missile tracking in Greenland. Norwegian monitoring stations near Russia. All dependent on European goodwill. 7. It would cost America MORE to bring the troops home than keep them here. European hosts subsidise roughly a third of all basing costs. 8. Europe is America’s largest arms customer. Stop buying American and part of their defence industry goes bankrupt. 9. The bases aren’t charity. They’re America using European soil, European money and European goodwill to project power across the world. 10. We’re not the freeloaders.

Extraordinary statement by Serbian VOA head Lt. Colonel Đuro Jovanić accusing president Aleksandar Vučić and state leaders of "being sceptical" about their earlier reports on plans for a pipeline sabotage, and denying in strong words allegations of involvement to frame Ukraine.

Oleksandr Yakovenko, the founder of TAF Industries, one of Ukraine's largest drone makers wrote a good response to @RheinmetallAG's Papperger's irritating statement. I used AI to translate it for you. It is worth reading in full. "Dear Mr. Armin Papperger, CEO of Rheinmetall, When you called Ukrainian drone manufacturers “Ukrainian housewives with 3D printers in their kitchens,” you demonstrated how deeply the European defense establishment still fails to understand the nature of modern warfare. This is not about emоtions. This is about battlefield reality. Here are the figures your industry refuses to acknowledge: In 2025 alone, Ukrainian drones carried out 819,737 confirmed strikes. They accounted for 90% of all combat losses of the Russian army—more than all other types of weapons combined. A single company, TAF Industries, produces up to 100,000 FPV drones per month. Over any given 90-day period, the products of my company alone have more confirmed hits than your entire fleet of equipment over its entire history of combat use across all conflicts. And most importantly—I built this company and achieved these results in two years, not fifty. Think about that. Our drones achieve greater kinetic effect in three months than your flagship platforms have in half a century. Why? Because the battlefield has changed, while your business model has not. Russian electronic warfare has rendered GPS-guided Western munitions (Excalibur, GMLRS, etc.) almost ineffective. Expensive and complex systems designed for wars with air superiority and conventional “peer-on-peer” conflict have become easy targets for drones costing $500–2,000 that attack them from above. The cost-effectiveness ratio has been turned upside down: one 120mm Rheinmetall shell or one anti-tank missile costs more than a dozen of our drones—yet our drones still prevail. This is not a “Lego game.” This is industrial Darwinism in real time. We iterate weekly. We lose factories to missile strikes and rebuild them within weeks. We print parts in basements and deploy 100,000 strike systems per month, while your engineers still require 3–5 years and hundreds of millions of euros to certify even minor upgrades. The war in Ukraine is not a temporary anomaly. It is the first true drone-industrial war. And it has already proven that outdated European platforms—no matter how expensive or “serious”—are becoming increasingly irrelevant if they do not integrate the very technologies you are mocking. So when you say “this is not innovation,” I hear something else: “We do not want to admit that the future is being written in Ukrainian workshops, not in Düsseldorf offices.” The hashtag #MadeByHousewives is trending for a reason. Because these “housewives” destroy more enemy equipment every month than entire European armies do over full campaigns. And they do so while your industry continues to sell 20th-century solutions at 21st-century prices. The invitation stands, Mr. Papperger. Stop laughing at the kitchen table. Come and learn how the war of tomorrow is actually fought. Because the next time someone asks, “Who needs tanks in the age of drones?”, the answer may be simpler than you think: Those who still believe in 1979 will lose to those who are building in 2026.
