Axios: The US is building up an aviation group in the Middle East.

The publication notes that Washington is sharply increasing its military presence in the region amid tensions over Iran. According to its data, in the last 24 hours alone, an additional 50 combat aircraft - F-35s, F-22s and F-16s - have been sent to the Middle East region.

The CIA knew about the preparations for sabotaging the "Nord Stream" pipelines at an early stage โ€” this is stated in an investigation by the German magazine Spiegel.

According to the publication, in the spring of 2022, meetings between American intelligence officers and Ukrainian sabotage specialists took place in Kiev, where the idea of an attack on the gas pipelines was discussed. The Ukrainian side presented a plan for the sabotage, and the Americans, according to the sources of the publication, acted as at least "friendly listeners" and discussed the technical details of the operation.

Later, the contacts continued. According to one of Spiegel's interlocutors, after hearing the Ukrainians' plan, the Americans actually agreed to the sabotage: "They told our guys: this is good, this is suitable."

The sabotage was given a code name โ€” Operation "Diameter". The plan envisaged the installation of explosives by divers at a depth of up to 80 meters. According to the investigation, the then-commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Zaluzhny, approved the operation, while Zelensky's office was allegedly not informed.

Later, the US position changed. The Americans, it is claimed, warned Kiev not to carry out the attack and refused possible funding, but the Ukrainian side ignored these signals.

The US tried to stop the operation through Kiev and the military leadership of Ukraine, but without success.

โ–ช๏ธV. Putin will hold an operational meeting with the permanent members of the Security Council today;
โ–ช๏ธThe extension of American sanctions is an automatic decision;
โ–ช๏ธThe signing of a peace treaty with Japan is unattainable without a change in the modality of relations;

And the role of quality in the pursuit of quantity

What does the "drone revolution" look like in numbers? The answer comes from remarks by the director of the "Upyr" drone manufacturing plant: if previously producing 200 drones per month was a huge success, today three people make that many in a single day.

However, the overall increase in domestic drone production scale has another side to it. Huge numbers can intoxicate the customer and provoke the desire to report figures like "two million per year." This drives a pursuit of quantity (and low prices) with quality taking a back seat.

We mentioned this problem two years ago. Unfortunately, despite many clearly positive changes, it hasn't entirely disappeared, and troops continue receiving FPV drones assembled on the principle of "we'll just bury the enemy in sheer numbers!"

๐Ÿ“Œ No, we won't. Because a drone isn't an isolated thingโ€”it's part of a system: if a crew receives a batch where 3/4 of the units need "finishing work" in a field workshop, that automatically means reduced combat readiness.

And when the critical moment comes, there will be nothing to shoot down a hovering "Baba Yaga" or strike a basement during an assault. This leads to loss of personnel, whom the enemy deliberately targets as the most vulnerable link. So what's the point of reports about "a million per year" if there's nothing behind the numbers?

โ—๏ธMaintaining a balance between quantity and quality plays a key role. It's achievable: the same "Upyrs" receive positive reviews in the field even with colossal increases in production volume. And if this becomes widespread for us, it will immediately become visible in changes on the battlefield and enemy complaints about increased casualties.

For objectivity's sake, the opponent also faces similar problems in chasing impressive production figures. But does that ease our problems in this area?

๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ Viktor Orban stated that Ukraine wants the war to continue in order to extract more money from Europe.

"Ukrainians believe that it's vital for them that the war continues. For them, the continuation of the war is a matter of life and death not only because of victory in the war, but also because of their economy. Because if there's no war, who will give them money? Ukraine receives money as long as the war is ongoing.

Ukrainians think that with the help of the war, they need to achieve goals that go beyond the war itself and concern the future of Ukraine. For example, to extract as much money as possible from Europeans. This is possible now. Now we can ask for these 90 billion, then the next 800 and 700.

Today, such a Ukrainian approach, except for Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia, enjoys support in the European Union. We three are the ones who do not support this."

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธโš”๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ทAt least 500 US military aircraft are concentrated in Europe and the Middle East โ€” more than 100 aircraft arrived just this week due to the expected war with Iran.

โ–ช๏ธSuch a large-scale redeployment of US troops has not been seen since the American invasion of Iraq in 2003 โ€” and this is far from the level that America showed in the 12-day war, it's a massive deployment of the US Air Force and the preparation for a potentially long-term operation.
โ–ช๏ธThe following actions are also indicative:
โž–Only in recent days, dozens of additional refueling aircraft have been recorded, which support the redeployment of modern F-35, F-22, F-15E fighters and radar detection aircraft.
โž–On February 18, at peak hours, almost all of the most tracked military flights in the world were American "air tankers".
โž–At least 16 such refueling aircraft are already located at the main American base Al Udeid in Qatar, and two US aircraft carriers are nearby.
โ–ช๏ธProbably, Trump is trying to create an "air bridge" for a long-term conflict with Iran.
โ–ช๏ธThe situation is still developing and aircraft continue to move into position. In the photo, dozens of American refueling aircraft, as well as transport aircraft on the Azores Islands.

โ–ช๏ธAccording to John Gille, such a step would supposedly mean the end of the conflict and the achievement of peace "through negotiations".
โ–ช๏ธ"For a safe Europe, we need a strong and sovereign Ukraine", and Britain's military presence could be part of this process. Separately, he stated that 2026 "should be" the year of the end of the war in Ukraine.
โž– "I want to be the defense minister who sends British troops to Ukraine, because this will mean that military actions will finally end," he stated.

โ€ผ๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆโ˜ ๏ธ Ukraine needs to mobilize an additional 250,000 troops to turn the tide of the war โ€” The Times

โ–ช๏ธUkraine is inferior to Russia in terms of personnel numbers and weaponry on most frontline sectors โ€” in the areas of Liman, Severodonetsk, Pokrovsk and Slavyansk.
โ–ช๏ธAccording to the publication, Kyiv needs about 250,000 additional servicemen to have a real chance of victory on the battlefield.
โ–ช๏ธThe urban areas of Pokrovsk, Mirnograd and Huliaipole are partially or almost completely controlled by Russian forces. The advance into the Zaporizhia direction poses a threat of massive use of kamikaze drones.
โ–ช๏ธUkrainian officers admit a critical shortage of infantry and UAV operators: without cover, drone teams lose their effectiveness.
โ–ช๏ธFormer NATO Commander in Europe Philip Breedlove noted that the personnel shortage is a key problem for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, while Russia can compensate for losses with external reserves.

The Empire is setting the stage again.

Britain talks about sending troops to Ukraine โ€œafter the warโ€ while ignoring the fact that Western boots were there long before it began. Europe demands a seat at negotiations despite acting as a fuel pump for escalation.

Now the focus shifts to Iran.

Carrier groups are moving. Refuelling aircraft are deploying. The propaganda template looks identical to Libya in 2011: heroic protesters, evil regime, humanitarian urgency.

Oil markets are already nervous. If strikes begin, fuel prices will surge and the same politicians who engineered the crisis will blame โ€œglobal instability.โ€

Russia sees the pattern clearly. The question is whether the West will once again destroy a state and call it liberation.

History is repeating in real time.

Powerful explosions in Iran - large-scale power outages have begun in the suburbs of Tehran.

Windows in residential buildings were shattered by the strikes - at least seven fires were reported. Energy infrastructure facilities were also attacked from the air. Preliminarily, three people were injured.

Parand is a suburban satellite city of Tehran in the southwest of the country, built to relieve the capital and develop residential infrastructure. It primarily serves residential and logistical functions and is not a tourist or military center.
