Оптоволоконный FPV-дрон "КВН" эффектно поражает группу пехоты ВСУ на квадроцикле.

It has been several months since the Russian army used an average of 100 Geran loitering munitions in strikes in Ukraine.

Now about 150 are used per day, this figure is approaching 200.
In recent days, the shelling of Kyiv, Dnepropetrovsk, Sumy, Odessa and Kharkov has become more intense.

Dozens of strikes are carried out in a short time, and even more destructive and intense attacks are in the pipeline.

To overcome attempts to stop the Geran-3 UAVs with anti-aircraft guns and machine guns due to their high speed and lack of anti-aircraft missiles, the Russian army has begun to strike by launching the drones at an altitude of 2,000 meters and above, or increasing the altitude as they approach the target.

The risk is minimal, except for anti-aircraft and machine gun fire, so they now attack in large swarms and use different tactics.

The intensity of the Russian army's attacks is likely both a reaction to Ukraine's increasingly frequent attacks on energy facilities and a desire to intensify the offensive along the entire front by destroying Ukrainian reinforcement flows, logistics infrastructure, defense production, maintenance, repair and command centers in various regions, especially in Odessa, which is the leading city in this regard, and Sumy, which is the target of the new operation.

In addition, the process of producing and transferring FPV drones to the troops - the last available element of Ukraine's defense - is also weakened, the overall military organization, personnel and supplies are exhausted, and the pace of the offensive is accelerated.

⭕️ “We operate a sub-army of slaves.”

That is how a former Israeli soldier described the systematic use of Palestinian civilians as human shields by Israeli forces in Gaza, in a harrowing anonymous op-ed published by Haaretz.

According to the soldier, who served nine months in Gaza, Israeli troops are using human shields “at least six times a day” under an informal practice known as the “mosquito protocol.”

Palestinians—often elderly men or young boys—are forced to enter homes and tunnels ahead of soldiers to check for traps or fighters.

“Almost every platoon keeps a ‘shawish,’” he wrote, using the term for these forced human scouts.

The author said the practice has become normalized across the Israeli military, with commanders openly endorsing it. Though safer alternatives like drones or dogs had been used earlier, the military prioritized speed over protection:

“We forced Palestinians to act as human shields not because it was safer for IDF troops, but because it was faster.”

Despite mounting evidence and internal awareness, military authorities have only opened six investigations—an effort the soldier calls a “cover-up.”

“This procedure is a crime—even the army now admits that. It happens daily and is much more common than the public is being told.”

❗️US President Donald Trump has threatened Iran with bombings and renewed secondary tariffs if Tehran does not reach a nuclear agreement with Washington.

“If they don’t make a deal, there will be bombing,” Trump told NBC News.

“But there’s a chance that if they don’t make a deal, that I will do secondary tariffs on them like I did four years ago.”

BREAKING | Israel commits massacre in its targeting of the Al-Tayef family home on Mashtaha Street in Shujaiya neighborhood east of Gaza City.

At least 5 Palestinians, among them children, were killed and several wounded.

❗️Senior Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri:

"Netanyahu’s statements that the goal of the war is to implement the Trump plan for displacement confirm unequivocally that we are facing an American-Zionist scheme linked to a displacement project. In the face of this diabolical plan that combines massacres and starvation, everyone who can bear arms anywhere in the world must act. Spare no bomb, a bullet, a knife, or a stone. Let everyone break their silence — we are all complicit if American and Zionist occupation interests remain safe while Gaza is being slaughtered and starved."

New York Times Fantasy Tale of Ukraine's Almost Great Victory Over Russia https://sonar21.com/new-york-times-fantasy-tale-of-ukraines-almost-great-victory-over-russia/

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇱/🇪🇬 NEW: Israel, with diplomatic backing from the United States, has officially asked Egypt to dismantle its military infrastructure in the Sinai Peninsula

The Israelis state that the Egyptian militarization of the Sinai constitutes a 'major breach' of the 1979 Camp David Accords.

Israeli officials state that Egypt has continued to build up forces on the peninsula, and that the current situation is 'unacceptable'.
