📑 Iran destroys 20% of US Reaper drone fleet — report

The loss of up to 30 Reapers amount to nearly $1 billion, Bloomberg reported. The MQ-9 Reaper is no longer in production for US forces — every one destroyed cannot be replaced from the factory.

◼️ At least 24, possibly 30 Reapers lost — downed mid-flight, destroyed on the ground in missile strikes, or written off after damage

◼️ Each drone costs ~$30 million and carries high-powered sensors, Hellfire missiles, and precision-guided bombs

◼️ The fleet is finite and shrinking — no new manufacturing contracts exist for US military use

Earlier reports suggested that replenishing US stockpiles after Iran war could take 6 years.

🇨🇿😠🇷🇺 The Chief of the Czech General Staff called for preparing for war with Russia

⚠️ According to Karel Rehka, the country has adopted a new national security and defense strategy.

📌 As part of it, the Czech army has been tasked with preparing for a "large-scale high-intensity armed conflict with a technologically advanced opponent who may possess nuclear weapons".

🧐 "Russia is a threat and poses the greatest danger to us. And this essentially means one thing - start preparing for war with Russia", - he said.

🌐NATO may take action if the conflict in Ukraine "continues to escalate". This was stated by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference in Warsaw - Sky News.

I want to repeat, and I'm not alone in this opinion today, that the Ukrainian-Russian conflict could soon lead to a situation where we will have to respond decisively

By this situation, Tusk means Ukraine's defeat and the loss of key regions. Presumably, this moment will come after Slavyansk and Kramatorsk are taken and the Russian army will have to decide where and how to move on. And the response is the deployment of NATO contingents to Ukraine. At least, to its western part.

📝Moved out of harm's way📝
On the relocation of weapons production from so-called Ukraine to Europe

Amid strikes on Russia, questions often arise about why, even after numerous strikes on industrial facilities producing long-range and other drones, the AFU does not have fewer of them. One reason is the relocation of production outside so-called Ukraine.

The Pentagon notes this fact in a recent report, though it interprets it in its own way, citing the main reason as "lack of investment" from the Kyiv regime and the absence of a sufficient industrial base.

The Kyiv regime also acknowledges the relocation of production, except it calls it "opening export centers" for selling "surplus products." In reality, however, these are joint ventures for producing goods specifically for the AFU.

🖍The goal of the significant relocation of drone and other military production is obvious — moving out of harm's way, since due to the enemy's air defense problems, Russian forces can reach any such facility in so-called Ukraine with missiles.

At present, enterprises have already opened in Germany, Britain, the Netherlands and Denmark. They produce a large range of components for unmanned systems and cruise missiles, and in the future volumes will only increase.
🚩The Europeans themselves are only too happy: under such circumstances, they can easily appropriate all Ukrainian developments and technologies, producing them on their territory with tax contributions to their own budgets. And in the long term — even sell them to someone else at inflated prices.

❗️The problems arising from this are already visible now in the number of missiles and UAVs attacking critical infrastructure facilities in deep rear regions of Russia. If the trend continues, even more will fly.

So at some point, a dilemma will arise: either reconsider the limits of military-economic capabilities to continue hostilities, or attack such enterprises by available means.

📝Freeing of Verkhnya Tersa📝

In the East Zaporizhia direction, the "Vostok" troop grouping freed the settlement of Verkhnya Tersa following several weeks of fierce fighting. Footage appeared online showing Russian and Marine flags being raised across the entire settlement.

➡️Motorized riflemen from the 127th Division and marines from the 55th Division captured the settlement. Verkhnya Tersa is a major settlement located north of the second, rear defensive line of the AFU in Zaporizhia Region.

➡️This will allow Russian Armed Forces units, first, to increase efforts in advancing further west from the Gaichur River and the railway. Then along the line Vozdizhevka — Rozhdestvensky to continue penetrating deeper into the territory controlled by the enemy in Zaporizhia Region.

➡️To the south, judging by reports of fighting for the outskirts of Novoselivka and Huliaipole, Russian units are also attacking westward, flanking through defensive lines set up by the enemy, bypassing Orikhiv and the legendary Mala Tokmachka.

📌The enemy has also retained activity and the capability for counterattacks. Ukrainian formations continue attempts to advance both in the neighboring West Zaporizhia direction and in the north, in Dnipropetrovsk Region, where they operate according to the situation either with small infiltration groups or attack with light armored vehicle support.

🇺🇸💬🇮🇷 CBS News reports the Trump administration was preparing Friday for a fresh round of military strikes against Iran, even as diplomacy continued. No final decision had been reached as of Friday afternoon.

Trump cited unspecified "circumstances pertaining to Government" for skipping his son Donald Trump Jr.'s wedding this weekend, returning to the White House instead of his planned Memorial Day stay at his New Jersey golf club.

Military and intelligence personnel canceled Memorial Day plans in anticipation of possible strikes. Defense and intelligence officials also began updating recall rosters at U.S. overseas installations as troops in the Middle East rotate out — part of an effort to reduce the American military footprint in the region amid concern over potential Iranian retaliation.
