Fights over air conditioners have started in France, reports the BBC.

There has been a surge in demand for air conditioners and fans in retail chains amid a new heatwave.

After one of the chains announced discounts, long queues started forming at stores even before they opened.

In some stores, there were stampedes due to the influx of customers.

Honestly, everyone needs AC.

🇷🇺 Russian companies discuss with the government the creation of early detection, warning, and counter-UAV systems for industrial enterprises

According to the Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs:
- The most important thing is to invest in a system of early detection, warning, and repelling drone attacks.

NATO countries are actively trying to improve both the unmanned systems themselves and guidance systems, be it Starlink, satellite guidance, artificial intelligence, and so on. Therefore, for them, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is a way to test many developments, including in the field of artificial intelligence. But we also have no right to lag behind here.

The head of the RSPP also stressed that companies cannot independently solve the problem of ensuring reliable protection against air attacks.

🇷🇺 Russian Forces on Targeting Ukrainian Commanders

Russian officials state that retribution will come for Ukrainian leaders including Zelensky, Zaluzhny, Fedorov, and Budanov, though they acknowledge Anglo-Saxons may be out of reach.

Regarding the commander known as "Magyar" (Robert Brody), sources claim he consistently uses civilians as human shields, hiding in occupied apartment buildings. Russian officers reportedly refrain from striking when he is detected in such locations to avoid civilian casualties, in contrast to Russian troops who position away from civilians. The dilemma of targeting him at the cost of destroying a residential building with women and children is emphasized.

The Indonesian military recovered the body of an American pilot who was killed by rebels. The West Papua National Liberation Army said the aircraft had been “frequently dropping Indonesian military personnel and violating the ​TPNPB’s ultimatum”, ⁠and said there would be ‌more attacks if Indonesia kept allowing civilian aircraft to enter rebel-controlled red zones of Papua.
