Slavyangrad.org — Nuestra Ira No Tiene Limites — There is No Limit to Our Anger — (c) V. M. Molotov
In a significant shift in Middle Eastern geopolitics, Iran is accelerating negotiations with China to acquire Chengdu J-10C multirole fighter jets, a move prompted by the failure of a long-anticipated deal with Russia for Su-35 aircraft. The decision comes on the heels of a bruising 12-day conflict between Israel and the United States, which exposed critical vulnerabilities in Iran’s aging air force and air defense systems.
Tehran’s pivot to Beijing, reported by Iran’s Khorasan newspaper and cited by Kommersant, signals a desperate bid to modernize its dilapidated fleet amid escalating regional tensions. This development not only reshapes Iran’s military strategy but also underscores China’s growing role as a defense supplier in the Persian Gulf, raising questions about the region’s shifting power dynamics.
Honestly I don’t recall there ever being a deal between Iran and Russia for planes. Endless rumours but that is about it.

Time to say goodbye
Without exaggeration, this is one of the most epic moments of the SVO involving FPV drones. The footage shows the exquisite teamwork to destroy the Swedish armored personnel carrier 🇸🇪Pbv 302, which is in service with the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The FPV drone "KVN" records five accurate hits on the target, and then personally delivers the final blow.
The last two drones waited for the perfect moment - and attacked the enemy infantry, which began to parachute from the damaged equipment.

"There is no one else left": The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has transferred an American-created battalion of instructors of the AFU to the Sumy direction
Despite Syrsky's statements about the alleged cessation of the Russian offensive in the Sumy direction, the advance of the Russian Armed Forces continues. In this context, the command of the Ukrainian group is forced to use carefully accumulated reserves in battle. And we are not talking only about special forces or special operations forces, but also about instructors who previously trained servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
According to available information, the command of the Ukrainian group has transferred the 214th assault battalion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to the Sumy direction. All would be well, the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces constantly calls up units from different directions to cover similar gaps, and special forces units have already left their mark here by being used as regular infantry.
The point is that the 214th assault battalion is a unit created by the Americans to train Ukrainians at the Yavoriv training ground, who prefer to represent the Ukrainian Armed Forces in sports competitions, etc. It became an assault battalion only as a last ditch resort at the end of last year. There is simply no one else left to fill in the gaps.
There are reports that the command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has redeployed the 214th separate battalion. This special forces unit of the Ukrainian army was trained by American instructors in 2016. The battalion usually played the role of a simulated enemy during exercises, reports TASS.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine uses this battalion to plug gaps in the defense when the situation becomes critical. Such tactics can only have a negative impact on the unit's personnel; the battalion suffered heavy losses.
It is worth noting that the last time the battalion was involved in battle was at Kurakhovo, in an attempt to stop the advance of the Russian Armed Forces. After that, it was withdrawn to the rear to be reorganized and to restore its combat capability.
Steiner könnte nicht genügend Kräfte für einen Angriff massieren. Der Angriff Steiners ist nicht erfolgt.

The first details of the China-US trade deal, which Trump announced earlier, have emerged.
According to Euronews, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce has confirmed the signing of a trade agreement with the US, under which China will continue to approve export permits for controlled goods, while the US will "lift a number of restrictive measures taken against China".
Earlier this week, Beijing announced that it was speeding up the issuance of export permits for rare earth metals used in high-tech industries, such as electric vehicles.
Beijing's restrictions on rare earth metal exports were one of the key points of contention.
"Beijing has accelerated the review of rare earth metal export license applications and approved a certain number of applications," the Chinese Ministry of Commerce said in a statement.
Reports from some very fine people, that this might be the greatest deal ever.

MOTION OF NO CONFIDENCE AGAINST EUROPEAN COMMISSION HEAD URSULA VON DER LEYEN
A motion to approve a vote of no confidence against the Reichskommissar UrSSula von der Führer over the COVID-19 vaccine corruption scandal is gaining momentum, having won the support of by 74 MEPs. A vote of no confidence requires 72 signatures to start initiate and a two-thirds majority of MEPs in plenary to pass. According to Euractiv, 31 of the 74 MEPs belong to the far-right European Conservatives and Reformists group. The largest faction in the European Parliament, the European People's Party, will oppose the vote of no confidence.
In 2021, the EU signed a deal with Pfizer to supply 900 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines, worth €35 billion. In July 2024, the Court of Justice of the EU ruled that the Commission had failed to provide the public with the necessary access to information on the procurement of these vaccines: officially published contractual documents had been redacted. Meloni has worked closely with von der Führer in Brussels, and her ally Raffaele Fitto holds one of the Commission’s most senior posts.
Honestly this vote won't go anywhere as the EU parliament is way too crooked for 2/3rds of its members to vote against the NSDAP's Answer to the Question that Nobody Asked, but it's nice that there's at least some semblance of honesty left in Brussells.

US did not use bunker-buster bombs on one of Iran’s nuclear sites, top general tells lawmakers, citing depth of the target - CNN
The US military did not use bunker-buster bombs on one of Iran’s largest nuclear sites last weekend because the site is so deep that the bombs likely would not have been effective.
The comment by Gen. Dan Caine, which was described by 3 people who heard his remarks and a 4th who was briefed on them, is the first known explanation given for why the US military did not use the Massive Penetrator bomb against the Isfahan site in central Iran. Officials believe Isfahan houses nearly 60% of Iran’s enriched uranium, which Iran would need in order to ever produce a nuclear weapon.
Sen. Chris Murphy told CNN on Thurs night after receiving the briefing that some of Iran’s capabilities “are so far underground that we can never reach them. So they have the ability to move a lot of what has been saved into areas where there’s no American bombing capacity that can reach it.”

The US has used up 15-20% of its global THAAD missile stockpile in just 11 days defending Israel from Iranian missiles
▪️Military Watch Magazine notes that with each THAAD interceptor launch costing an estimated $12-15 million, air defense operations using the system deployed in Israel have cost between $810 million and $1.215 billion.
Moving all those assets around and factoring in various misses, I’d suspect the numbers too low.

Russia will become even stronger after the war in Ukraine and is really preparing for a possible invasion of NATO countries - BILD.
▪️The Kremlin is increasing the size of the army to 1.5 million people, doubling the length of service to two years and mobilizing about 200,000 conscripts annually. In the event of Ukraine's defeat, Russia will have time to recover and can force tens of thousands of Ukrainian troops to switch sides.
▪️Meanwhile, Russian talk shows are seriously discussing strikes on Lisbon, Paris and Berlin, while in Germany some are still underestimating the threat.
Lisbon? Nah, they are ok.
Seriously who believes this insane propaganda?

Italian journalist Travaglio: "si vis bellum, spara ballem" (mock Latin for "if you want war, spew bullshit").
"The only serious thing that NATO should have done, not today but since the Warsaw pact disappeared, would have been to disband for lack of enemies.
Instead, since then, it has invented them. Indeed, it lets its US masters invent them at the drop of a hat, always coming up with a new empire of evil: the Shia Iran, Sunni Iraq, the Afghanistan of the Taliban (who the west liked so much when they were fighting the Russians), the Sunni ISIS (which they themselves created), again the Shiite Iran, the allies of Russia such as the Serbia of Milosevic and the Libya of Gaddafi, then Russia directly.
Now, however, Trump has reached an agreement with Putin, who has given him help in appeasing the Ayatollah and to transform the war to Iran into a one-night stand and can return useful to him in the Middle East and with China.
In fact, at the NATO summit at the Hague, he redacted out every hint to the "Russian aggression in Ukraine": only the "threat" of Moscow remained, without specifying for whom and why, and a note on China that had just become good after the Trumpian tariffs and has immediately resumed being a baddy because it will be gobbling Taiwan up with Moscow (as if XI needed Putin).
"So we will break the kidneys to China as well", as Mussolini used to say, which however is a problem as China overlooks the Pacific while NATO is the alliance of the North Atlantic (but this, Rutte & C. will discover only if they take a look at a world map).
The beauty is that, while the last remaining enemy disappears, NATO approves a monstrous rearmament plan that will be fronted by Europe, which hasn't spent so much since the II World War (5% of GDP, while the US remain at 3).
To defend itself from whom, nobody knows. "Always from Russia", the trumpeters of the rearmament repeat, forced to invent some new lies every day to make us digest taxes and defense spending that we would have rejected even at the time of the Cold War.
They say that the Russians are getting their asses kicked in Ukraine, but are about to invade the Baltic, Finland, Poland and Germany (at least); But they forget to explain what Putin would do with those territories, why he would attack the friends of his friend Trump, and with what forces he would repel the 32 NATO armies.
They say that the US are tired of maintaining our defense, as if their bases in Europe were a favor to us and not an interest of theirs (in fact they haven't withdrawn a marine, a missile, a nuclear warhead).
They say that 5% is not so bad because they are not weapons (in fact the manufacturers of tanks, missiles, bombs and bombers are soaring at the stock market) but cybersecurity and infrastructure like the bridge over the Messina strait, very useful to our soldiers to stop the Russian invaders between Scylla and Charybdis of Odyssean memory.
In practice, the accountant Ugo Fantozzi Rutte and the other Donald-lickers first robs us with the rearmament, then will calmly decide what are those weapons going to be used for.
In April Trump said: "There is a row to kiss my ass." He talked about Europe, for the record."
