At the NATO summit in Ankara, Trump has stated that he thinks the Memorandum of Understanding with Iran is over.

Kuwait's Ministry of Defence claims that their air defence intercepted 2 Iranian ballistic missiles and 13 drones this morning.

If Iranians are "liars" "cheats" and "sick people", what does that make Americans and Israelis?

Following Trump's statements that the Memorandum of Understanding with Iran is over, Israeli media is reporting that U.S. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has cancelled his planned trip to Israel.

The Ukrainian Air Force is indicating that they shot down a Russian aircraft.

Russian channels confirm that a Su-35 was shot down. It is unclear if it was intercepted with a Patriot or an air-to-air missile. Because the Ukrainian Air Force made the statement, I would assume its the latter.

The pilot of the Su-35 was reportedly able to eject and is alive.

BTW take a look to the next update of Kupiansk. The methodical work carried out by the Russians in this area over the last three months is bearing fruit, without any haste or pressure from military-political figures seeking easy medals through virtual victories.

According to unconfirmed information, the Russian Su-35 was shot down while trying to shoot down a Ukrainian F-16 with an R-37/77 air-to-air missile.

The F-16 was reportedly pretending to drop glide-bombs, while in reality, it, covered by 2 additional F-16s, was trying to ambush the Russian aircraft.

The interception attempt by the F-16 reportedly failed, but a Patriot system deployed around 60 km from the frontline as a backup launched an interceptor at around the same time, shooting down the Su-35 as it was in the small window of engagement within range of the Patriot system.

Possible ballistic missile launches from Iran to Bahrain and Qatar. Sirens are sounding in both countries.

Air defence is operating in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Qatar.

Footage reportedly of Iranian missiles striking Bahrain this evening during renewed Iranian missiles strike this early Thursday morning.

A fire is reported at the U.S. 5th fleet base in Bahrain following earlier Iranian ballistic missile strike(s).

Sirens are sounding in Bahrain again.

Several explosions were heard in Bahrain.

Unconfirmed reports of repeated impacts.

There is one thing I cannot stress enough. And I will say this only once.

Iran’s primary military advantage lies in a pre-emptive attack. Ballistic missiles are best used suddenly and in large waves, to overwhelm defenses.

Waiting to get attacked when the enemy is openly telling you they will do it again, is not ‘strategic patience’ but strategic stupidity.
