๐ต๐ฑ Poland demonstrates Patriot air defense system engagement scenarios
Scenario A (maximum range ~107 km): The missile flies along the most energy-efficient ballistic/aerodynamic arc toward the target.
Scenario B (flank intercept ~64 km): The target flies parallel. The missile must constantly adjust, expending kinetic energy on maneuvers, sharply reducing range.
Scenario C (worst-case ~44 km / dead zone): Tail-chase intercept or in a zone requiring extreme overloads immediately after launch. The missile rapidly loses speed and control.
A hypothetical scenario of intercepting Russian Su-35 fighters is also examined.

๐ฑ๐ป๐คก Latvian Minister of Culture Puntulis on the need for the Russian language to disappear from Latvian media:
Russian-language content still exists in the media, and we have no grounds for the existence of content in Russian in an independent European nation, especially in the current military situation. What does its reduction mean? It should disappear completely, that's all.

๐ช Zaporozhye direction
Primorskoe-Stepnogorsk sector. Paratroopers continue to dislodge enemy forces attempting to infiltrate deeper into our positions.
Primorskoe is not under AFU control - the village is in the gray zone. Enemy groups try to disperse or enter from the south, but Russian UAV operators detect and strike such groups.
In Stepnogorsk, drone, artillery, and MLRS operations predominate, but small-arms clashes also occur when our troops eliminate AFU groups trying to infiltrate the settlement.
Eastward on the Lukyanovskoe line, the front line remains unchanged; work is underway against AFU logistics.

๐ท๐บ Russia increases use of new Geran jet-powered UAVs, Ukrainian air defence virtually unable to cope - Forbes
โช๏ธ The third and fourth modifications of these drones can reach speeds of 300 to 500 km/h, significantly exceeding previous versions.
โช๏ธ The increased speed reduces reaction time for Ukrainian air defence and complicates interception by specialised interceptor drones.
โช๏ธ The publication also notes that the higher flight altitude of the new systems further hinders their destruction.
โช๏ธ Additionally, the Russian Army has begun deploying remotely controlled drones capable of altering their route and performing manoeuvres in response to emerging threats.

Olga and Tara are joined by renowned political scientist and University of Kent Professor Richard Sakwa โ to dissect the legacy left by US Senator Lindsey Graham, who suddenly died right after visiting Ukraine.
Will the departure of one of the chief โTrump whisperersโ open a long-awaited diplomatic channel between Washington and Moscow โ or will the military-industrial complex continue its relentless march unchecked? Can a highly individualized foreign policy under Donald Trump bypass the systemic โwar machineโ that Graham so gleefully championed for decades?
Why are NATO leaders offering Ukraine high-tech Patriot transfers when the engineering capacity and intellectual property safeguards simply do not exist? As Western Europe battles severe โwar feverโ despite crumbling domestic economies, how do elites justify historic military spending?
We also look into the UK facing a rapid leadership transition under Andy Burnham โ and break down what modern Russophobia actually implies.

๐ฉ๐ช Germany refused to participate in the first exercises of the 'coalition of the willing' near the borders of Ukraine
According to DPA, Berlin declined to send its units, considering the upcoming maneuvers too 'small'.
Polish Prime Minister Tusk previously announced the preparation of the exercises. According to him, military personnel from Great Britain and France are planned to participate.
According to preliminary plans, the events may take place on the territory of Poland, Romania, and Turkey.

Positional fighting continues, with both sides exchanging drone, artillery, and air strikes. Russian forces hit warehouses, equipment, and enemy positions, destroying a large temporary deployment point of the AFU in Kherson and an electronic warfare station. The AFU continues drone attacks and shelling of the left bank, striking civilian objects and causing casualties.
In the Tyaginka area, combat operations are ongoing along the entire front line. In the private sector of Kherson, an FPV drone from the 18th Army's UAV team destroyed a camouflaged dual-purpose vehicle with a precise hit to the engine.
On Karantinny Island, artillery and drones of the "Dnepr" Group of Forces conduct methodical clearing of planned targets. Russian forces fully control the sky, blocking AFU rotation and preparing the territory for liberation.
