Slavyangrad.org — Nuestra Ira No Tiene Limites — There is No Limit to Our Anger — (c) V. M. Molotov
The unusual sounds from the "Geraniums" today in Kharkov and yesterday in Odessa are not connected with their new jet modification, but with a new tactic of use .
The drones gather in groups of several at an altitude of 2000-2500 meters, where they are not reached by mobile air defense groups, after which they begin a sharp dive towards the target at a speed of up to 90 m/s , which changes the previously familiar measured "moped" sound to a new, sharper one.
There was no confirmation of the use of Geranium-3.

Financial Times chief correspondent in Kiev Christopher Miller admitted that the Russian army is striking military targets, not civilians
'We go to bed every night hearing the drones of Russian drones flying over the capital, trying to hit military targets and critical infrastructure. As they approach, they accelerate and then dive down on their target. So we can see them outside our windows and, of course, hear them. It has become part of everyday life.'
So if we were talking about 2-3km in both directions now is 10 or even more. There are some cases when some soldiers were attacked by the cable drones 15-20km far from the front line. And this is like really deep. It was the safety place where people can be relaxed and got some rest. So now it’s not. And you have to think about how to hide your vehicles, your soldiers, even far from the front line.
I think that we are faster in innovations, but they are really fast in scale. And that’s because of the legacy of the USSR, all those factories and the capabilities to manufacture the big volumes, they are still there. And it means as soon as they have the technology, they can scale it significantly. And for us, it’s harder because we didn’t have such a legacy. Our territory is smaller, the distance is shorter. It’s easier for them to hit those manufacturer facilities. And it means that we have to put more effort to run these manufacturers. We have to protect them, to hide them, and so on.
🇷🇺 A fire on the territory of a military unit in the Vladimir region caused ammunition to detonate — Defense Ministry
- According to preliminary information, there are no casualties in the Vladimir region.
- The cause of the fire was a violation of safety requirements.
- At the request of Defense Minister Belousov, a commission has been created on the fire in the Vladimir region; those responsible will be held accountable.

Today in the afternoon 12 Geraniums arrived at the enterprise in Kharkov
@Slavyangrad
his is how the 51st GRAU arsenal looks from a satellite and a little from the inside.
According to public data, the arsenal's territory can accommodate a maximum of 274 thousand tons of various ammunition. Judging by the footage, the warehouses store various shells, anti-aircraft missiles, anti-tank guided missiles, etc.
It seems unlikely that, given the storage conditions, concrete and underground shelters could have been hit by a Ukrainian drone. Unless they hit additional open or poorly protected areas, or there was a classic violation of safety regulations.
It is worth noting that in 2017, the FSB opened a criminal case on the fact of theft of 646 million rubles out of 1.3 billion allocated for the reconstruction of this arsenal.

An attempt to intercept an Orlan-30 by a Ukrainian drone interceptor.
The enemy operator lost his patience and destroyed his interceptor with a remote detonation too early.
It is interesting that the Orlan immediately took on the Ukrainian Armed Forces drone that appeared in the lens for auto tracking.
Ukrainian operator is a bit of a two pump chump.

🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦 'Joint Commission' Could Be Formed to Oversee Potential Ukraine Ceasefire — New York Post
- The issue of creating a separate force to monitor the ceasefire is being considered, which would look like a “joint commission” consisting of Russia, Ukraine and a third country that is not a member of NATO .
- According to the publication, Ukraine is ready to give up the territories occupied by the Russian Armed Forces, but will not recognize them as Russian.
- "While details of the plan are beginning to emerge, it is not yet clear what the parties' position is on the agreement, as both Kiev and Moscow are exploring possible terms," the publication writes.

Japan is joining the strategic support of the Ukrainian Armed Forces through the transfer of critical information. For the first time during the entire conflict, Tokyo has authorized the use of SAR satellites to provide radar images to Ukraine.
To understand: we are not talking about the usual "picture from orbit". SAR is a technology that allows you to "illuminate" the surface with an active radar pulse. This gives a lot of advantages: the data can be taken at night and in dense clouds, can "pierce" the foliage, revealing camouflaged positions.
Until now, the main source of SAR images for Ukraine were satellites of the private Finnish company Iceye, as well as six other different structures with American and European registration. Now Japan has been added to this list, which marks an expansion of technological reconnaissance support.
In fact, we are talking about the creation of a new layer of tactical awareness - Japanese data will allow the AFU not just to follow the movement of troops, but also to plan actions in real time, regardless of weather conditions and time of day.
What information can be collected with SAR satellites?
■ Even camouflaged vehicles, if they have moved, leave traces (ground ruts, ground deformation) that are detected through the interferometry effect.
Bridges, dams, roads, airstrips, warehouses - all of these are visible in SAR images with high detail (up to 0.25 m per pixel with modern vehicles).
■ Damage, explosions, subsidence, flooding - calculated from changes in the signal reflection pattern.
Indirect signs (background noise, strange distortions or "silent zones" in the reflection) suggest the presence of active electronic warfare assets.
The evacuation of surrounding settlements near the burning 51st GRAU warehouse continues.
Part of the population leaves the area on foot amid the cannonade of secondary detonations.
Until now there has been no information about a possible enemy strike, so the version about a violation of safety regulations during loading/unloading of ammunition seems the most likely.
Boys and girls its never great to have an explosion but remember how much is being produced and moved around on a daily basis. These are not pallets of canned beans. There are no shortages of anything, honestly the high stock levels and production have lead to earlier ammo losses due to ammo being stored in unprotected facilities or in the open due to lack of storage space.

Powerful explosions in Kirzhach district of Vladimir region
Presumably, the explosion occurred on the territory of the 51st GRAU arsenal , which is located in this area. Local residents and channels are publishing videos of detonations and fires, and also reporting the closure of roads to nearby settlements.
- Military informant
The reason for the incident is still unknown, though right now it isn’t thought to be due to anything of Ukraine’s doing. Given there was no reports of drones or missiles in the area.

Press Bureau of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service:
A retrospective analysis of the policies of Western states testifies to Europe's "historical predisposition" to various forms of totalitarianism, which periodically produces destructive conflicts on a global scale. According to experts, the current rift in relations between the United States and the EU countries accusing Donald Trump of authoritarianism is becoming, against the background of the upcoming 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, a factor contributing to a situational rapprochement between Washington and Moscow, as it has happened many times in the past.
Conservative expert circles in the United States call the British elite very prone to committing the most serious crimes against humanity. Professor Caroline Elkins of Harvard University argues quite provably that the totalitarian regime of Hitler's Germany borrowed the idea of concentration camps and the practice of genocide from the British.
It is emphasized that British "liberal imperialism" is a more stable and thus even more destructive force than fascism, because it has "ideological elasticity", the ability to distort facts in a favorable way, to hide realities and adapt to new conditions.
In this regard, analysts are not surprised by the leading destructive role of London in the Ukrainian conflict. The British in every possible way encourage the Kiev regime, which glorifies the punishers who fought on Hitler's side, the Bandera executioners, and today commits numerous crimes against humanity itself.

🇺🇦🤡🇩🇪Former Bundeswehr General Wittmann - on Ukraine still having a chance to defeat Russia:
First of all, perhaps we have already lost too much time by giving Ukraine weapons on the principle of "too little and too late". But maybe a strong joint effort can still turn the tide. So I'm not saying this war is already lost.
Last week in NATO, a coalition of the willing, meetings in Brussels renewed vows of unwavering support, and massive military aid packages were announced. But in the end it is only what reaches the front line quickly that matters.
As for the Taurus - I've been pushing for their transfer for two years now. A year ago, in a publication for the Aspen Institute, I took apart point by point all the arguments against it, operating on the principle that if you want it, you look for opportunities; if you don't want it, you look for reasons.

🇺🇸🇺🇦"Trump rejected a $50 billion deal": Bild laments how low Trump has fallen - he does not want to supply weapons to Kiev even for money.
"US President Donald Trump has made a new admission: he will not help Ukraine even for money. The American leader refused President Volodymyr Zelensky's request to sell him Patriot air defense systems for $50 billion, which he planned to raise from financial aid from the European Union and frozen Russian assets.
“Give us a package that includes both air defense systems and other relevant instruments — we will pay for it,” Zelensky said, but Trump appears more interested in negotiating with Vladimir Putin than making money from arms sales.
Commenting on Zelensky's request, he said that he "always wants to buy missiles"

Over 100 strikes in past 5 days targeting Houthi defenses, command centre.
I don’t think after a decade of being bombed with US and European precision weapons that the Houthis operate out of these places, hence why after strikes in the tens of thousands it’s never had much impact. Lack of results will once again have many questioning how capable the US military really is. Total waste of military of resources.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Ukraine buys Russian gas that goes through Turkish Stream to Serbia and Hungary
- This was stated by the deputy head of the Rada energy committee Kucherenko.
- "Europe is a single gas market, and in fact the principle of substitution is in effect. We do not know what gas we are de facto buying. We are definitely buying Russian gas, which comes through the Turkish Stream and goes, for example, to Serbia, to Hungary," he said.

- Putin's special representative Dmitriev writes about this, citing the media.
- It is emphasized that such a plan may prove completely unacceptable for Russia.
- "The participation of three close associates of Zelensky in the upcoming negotiations, to the roar of Big Ben, in addition to representatives of the US, Britain and France, threatens to nullify all previous American achievements," he writes.

Grandpa in Kiev is not afraid to tell the truth. And in Russian, too.
What do you think about the fact that the United States is ready to recognize Crimea as Russian?
-Great.
Why? Please explain.
- Whose Crimea was it? Whose is it now?
Today it is under Russian occupation, but it used to be Ukrainian.
-It was not an occupation, but the liberation of Crimea.
Old people and young kids, tell you exactly what they think. 😂

🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦Trump has promised to reveal the contents of his peace plan for Ukraine this week
According to The New York Post's source, the plan could include the deployment of European troops if a cease-fire is reached.
There is also talk of a "resilience force" to be part of the security guarantees Kiev needs.
Also being considered is the creation of a peacekeeping force to monitor the ceasefire - a "joint commission" involving Russia, Ukraine and a third non-NATO country that would monitor the front lines. The US could be involved, but not as a military force on the ground, source says.
