Immediately following the appointment of a new commander of the Russian Air Force, the interception rate of Russian missiles drops from over 50% to less than 30%.

The lack of Ukrainian F-16 and Mirage-2000 fighters taking part in intercepting missiles certainly played a role in this higher missile impact rate, but its also possible that the new command chose different routes for the missiles to fly along.

Remember, prior to this attack, Russian cruise missiles took practically the same routes every single attack, allowing for Ukraine to place air defence systems along their expected paths and concentrate aviation there, resulting in much higher interception rates.

The IRGC has boarded a vessel anchored 38 nautical miles northeast of Fujairah, UAE, in the Strait of Hormuz, and is now sailing it towards Iranian territorial waters.

The IDF announced that a soldier of the 12th Battalion of the elite 1st "Golani" Infantry Brigade was killed by a Hezbollah strike in southern Lebanon.

So far, since the beginning of their invasion of Lebanon, the IDF has acknowledged the deaths of 19 Israeli soldiers.

The true number is likely much higher.

The Russian Ministry of Defense has recently been announcing the capture of a locality simply because its troops have reached the opposite end of it, but it doesn't know whether they have subsequently consolidated their positions there. And this is upsetting many Russian soldiers on the front lines.

The generals' war is very different from that of the soldiers. They talk about captures and recaptures, but the reality on the ground doesn't match their words. And this goes for the Ukrainian side as well. All in the name of securing a media victory.

Remember, a geolocation of a flag being raised DOES NOT EQUAL control and subsequent consolidation over said area. We are not in 2023 anymore.
