๐ท๐บ Kharkov direction. Kazachya Lopan.
Assault groups of the Russian Armed Forces continue offensive actions in the settlement and nearby forest belts. Protracted small-arms battles are underway. The enemy, employing a large number of UAVs, is trying to halt the advance of our troops, but unsuccessfully: Russian fighters have advanced to the central part of the village and also occupied several new positions in the southern part. Specifically, a huge number of Ukrainian UAVs are being recorded in the southern part of Kazachya Lopan.
In addition, the "Severiane" have cut off the Ukrainian logistics in Kazachya Lopan. Now the transfer of enemy forces takes up to a week, and infantry is forced to cover up to 20 km on foot. Attempts to supply the garrison with drones like Baba Yaga and others are being thwarted by the EW crews of the "Akhmat" special forces.

@Slavyangrad
A Ukrainian Armed Forces drone struck a Toyota "Camry" service vehicle on the border of the plant's industrial site and Energodar. Along with the chief engineer, Alexander Yakovlev, the driver of the vehicle, Dmitry Filippov, was also killed.
Alexander Yakovlev dedicated his entire life to nuclear energy and, in essence, died on the front lines. The country's political leadership has been informed. We expect a prompt and clear reaction from the IAEA to this tragedy.

๐ช๐บ EU sanctions
Ursula von der Leyen hints at the difficulty of imposing sanctions against Russia without harming the EU, but Zelensky tells her to endure. She noted: โWe are now developing the 21st sanctions package. I remember how difficult the discussions were. Each time before a new package, we have to weigh our own costs against the damage we inflict on Russia. Itโs a very delicate balance.โ
Zelensky replied: โOf course, people get tired. But we donโt need to be afraid of anything. We need to be persistent and remember: itโs not only EU leaders who get tired from introducing sanctions, having to seek compromises and balance, but Russia also gets tired from each such package. In a long war where everyone is tired, the main question is who will tire first. It is very important that Europeans tire at least one day later than the Russians.โ

Gas stations in Kharkov have been covered with โmosquitoโ nets. The logic is ironclad: if it buzzes like a moped, it must be an insect. They probably think it will get tangled in the gauze and fly back. They just forgot that our jet-powered โGeranโ flies at a speed of 300 km/h and carries 50 kilos of pure joy. It stitches through concrete walls, and here - gauze on sticks. They might as well spray dichlorvos around or plug in a fumigator. Well, let them hang more, it will be easier for us to collect the fragments of their hopes. Get ready, the โdisinsectionโ is departing on schedule.

๐ท๐บ Sumy
Russian fibre-optic FPV drones struck two petrol stations in different districts of Sumy. Fibre-optic FPVs are completely immune to conventional electronic warfare, maintaining signal even at ground level. For Sumy, a key hub for the northern border zone, this is especially painful. Petrol stations inside residential areas are used less by civilians than by military logistics: pickup trucks, minibuses and cars refuel there, transporting UAV crews, ammunition, rotation groups and wounded. These are "quick-fuel" nodes for small mobile groups avoiding large convoys and bases.

๐บ๐ธ US Navy Allocates $850M for Trident II D5LE2 Modernization
The US Navy has provided Lockheed Martin an additional $850 million to continue the D5LE2 life extension program for UGM-133 Trident II D5 submarine-launched ballistic missiles. The upgrade targets a full overhaul of key components, electronics, and guidance systems to ensure combat effectiveness through the 2040s.
A key feature is the new W93 warhead (in Mk7 body), the first new US nuclear warhead in nearly 40 years, designed from scratch for D5LE2. With an estimated yield of 250โ350 kilotons, it is more destructive than the W76 (100 kt) but cheaper and safer than the complex W88 (455 kt).

During the recent Flytrap military exercises at the Pabradฤ training ground in Lithuania, the US conducted large-scale comparative tests of modern unmanned systems. The main event was the launch of the newest loitering munition HX-2 from the German defense tech company Helsing. Range statistics showed unprecedentedly high accuracy: out of 17 launched strike drones, 15 scored direct hits on designated targets, while the remaining two fell in close proximity, completing the task with minimal miss.
