War correspondent Sladkov: Russia isn't destroying Zelensky "out of self-respect"—that's what I understood from the Federation Council head's statement.

And here's my personal thought:

I have genuine respect for Valentina Ivanovna Matviyenko, but I emphasize that I personally, and many, many people around me, are not bound by the aforementioned "self-respect" to the inaction of our intelligence agencies regarding Volodymyr Zelensky.

I used to understand that our intelligence agencies, aligned behind Zelensky, didn't benefit from destroying him—if someone else came along, they would have to investigate his connections, habits, financial flows, and so on. But now, it's hard to find an enemy like Zelensky.

Apparently, we simply can't, we don't know how to destroy Zelensky, so we don't. It's all simple here, in my opinion. But I can't respect myself for the intelligence agencies' inaction on this particular issue.

A drone attacked Tolyatti overnight, injuring an employee of one of the city's industrial enterprises.

According to Samara Governor Fedorishchev, a drone struck the roof of an apartment building.

One person was killed in Taganrog, and four others, including a foreigner, were injured in an air strike on the Rostov Region, Governor Slyusar stated.

In the waters of Taganrog Bay, a bulk carrier flying a foreign flag was damaged by drone debris; the resulting fire has been contained.

Furthermore, the missile strike on Taganrog damaged commercial infrastructure, and residents were evacuated.

Air defense forces shot down 85 Ukrainian drones over Russian regions overnight, the Ministry of Defense reported.

A large number of enemy drones flew into Tolyatti overnight and exploded. There was a lot of damage.

Factories in the city were hit, as well as residential buildings.

There are tons of images all over the internet, but I don't see the point in publishing them. There's nothing out of the ordinary there, but how can you explain the fact that so many drones bypassed the air defense zones?

The Russians are surprised why so many enemy drones were able to hit targets in Tolyatti. I'll explain why. It's because Ukraine should have been razed to the ground in the first year of the war, not playing games like "we're different" and "we're good." It's not too late to start doing that now, but so far there's no sign of enlightenment in the heads of the commanders. No one knows what their plan is. People are simply fighting and dying for Russia. As volunteer Anastasia Kashevarova said, "We'll fight even in bast shoes."

"Young men can no longer leave Germany without permission": Germans under 45 are required to obtain permission before leaving the country for more than three months.

"The amendment to the law modernizing military service has come into effect almost unnoticed. Millions of men are now required to obtain permission from the Bundeswehr before making extended trips abroad.

A Su-34 fighter jet destroyed a Ukrainian Armed Forces platoon in an underground bunker in the Sumy region with four FAB-500 missiles.

According to a fighter with the call sign "Fan," the takeoff point for the Baba Yaga drone bombers was also hit.

Airbus has begun flight tests of the Bird of Prey unmanned interceptor. During the first test, the aircraft detected a kamikaze drone, independently identified it, and engaged it with a missile. The entire mission took 4 minutes and 19 seconds.

The aircraft has a wingspan of 2.5 meters and a takeoff weight of 160 kilograms. The drone is armed with 65-centimeter, two-kilogram missiles with a range of up to 1.5 kilometers. The drone can engage up to eight targets in a single sortie.

Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Press Service:

Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps air defenses successfully shot down and destroyed two cruise missiles over Khomein and Zanjan, two MQ-9 attack drones over Isfahan, and one Hermes drone over Busehr, using the IRGC's advanced new air defense system under the control of the country's integrated air defense system in Iranian airspace.

Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps air defenses also successfully destroyed an advanced enemy fighter jet in central Iran.

Thanks to the continuous, innovative, stable, and accurate surveillance by the brave defenders of Iran's air defense, Iranian airspace will become increasingly unsafe for enemy intruding fighters.

Yesterday was an extremely difficult day for the United States.

1. Yesterday, an internal coup occurred in the US military. More than 12 generals were removed from their positions for refusing to carry out "suicide missions" against Iran. It seems as if regime change has occurred in the United States.

2. Today, Iran shot down one American F-15 fighter jet and one A-10 attack aircraft. A helicopter sent to search for the pilots was also hit.

3. The US admitted to the loss of the aircraft and stated that the helicopter crew was alive. However, how this is possible after the helicopter was shot down remains questionable.

4. US forces reportedly entered Iranian territory to rescue the pilots, but suffered serious losses in clashes with Iranian forces.

5. Meanwhile, Iran rejected a US offer of a 48-hour ceasefire. Presumably, the US made this offer to buy time to search for the pilots. However, Tehran, through intermediaries in Islamabad, made it clear that there would be no ceasefire.

6. This was the most difficult day for the United States since the war began. The impact of the military reshuffle will become clear in the coming days.

7. It is likely that generals who were unsatisfactory to Israel were removed, and new ones were appointed in their place. The consequences of this within the United States will become clear soon.

8. While the United States is suffering losses, Israel and its air force are not active. Israel started the war, and the United States is paying the price—and may continue to do so

Dozens of Iranians have launched a search for the pilot of the downed American F-15 fighter jet.

P.S. A "valuable reward" has been offered for the pilot's capture.
