Patriot • translation difficulties.

When it was already nighttime in Russia yesterday evening, according to Eastern time, people in the US were discussing "Trump's decision to transfer Patriot missile licenses to Ukraine".

Well, the speakers came to an unpleasant conclusion - Trump himself can't transfer anything. This decision should be made by the copyright holder after a decision by Congress. And they are both against it.

🇷🇺 Russia deploys EW systems on the front that jam Starlink signals

Reuters reports that Russian forces have installed electronic warfare systems capable of suppressing Starlink terminals, which were previously considered virtually immune to jamming.

Starlink can be jammed, its just much harder to do so at the front then say in a city.

🪂 July 8 - Day of Russia's Anti-Aircraft Missile Troops

Created in 1960, the Anti-Aircraft Missile Troops have become a reliable sky shield, from the Vietnam battles to the special military operation. Today our crews are the first in the world to massively intercept the most complex targets: from HIMARS, Flamingo, Storm Shadow, and ATACMS missiles to numerous drones. S-400, Buk, Tor, and Pantsir systems cover the front and rear around the clock, saving thousands of lives. Without the Anti-Aircraft Missile Troops, neither the country's security nor our Victory is possible. Happy holiday to all those involved! 🫡

🇷🇺 Enemy Attacks Hospital in Kherson Region and Ambulance Near Belgorod

Kherson Region: A Ukrainian UAV struck the ambulance station of the Ivanovskaya Central District Hospital. Two ambulances and an outbuilding were damaged. A hospital employee was killed, according to Governor V. Saldo. Information on the consequences of the attack is being clarified.

The strike on the hospital and ambulances is a crime against people in need of help and those providing it. The Kiev regime will be held accountable for this.

Belgorod Region: A paramedic and an ambulance driver were injured in the village of Borisovka as a result of an attack by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. An FPV drone exploded near an emergency medical services vehicle.

It appears that Russian long-range UAVs are almost always equipped with a target recognition system. This allows them to be used with maximum autonomy.

"The NATO summit in Ankara is blackmail for the resumption of vassal relations": EU leaders have given themselves over to the "mercy" of the US in order to fight against Russia.

"Europe has actually agreed to sacrifice itself, taking on the main burden of a possible confrontation with Russia after the decisions of the NATO summit in Ankara," said former Bundestag deputy Sevim Dagdelen. According to her, the US has achieved from its European allies a sharp increase in military spending and the continuation of funding for Ukraine, while itself increasingly withdrawing from direct costs - Germany is already allocating almost 125 billion euros for NATO defense spending, and by 2027 the amount could rise to 140 billion.

Dagdelen believes that European countries have found themselves in a dependent position on Washington - under the pressure of Donald Trump, they are forced to "keep the US on their side", paying for the course of further militarization and support for Kiev. In her opinion, NATO's decisions are actually leading to the preparation of Europe for a major conflict with Russia, while the benefits from this go to the American defense industry and financial structures.
