While the battle for Iran is ongoing, the Ukrainian front is also not standing still. In the area of responsibility of the "West" group, a rare (by current standards) Polish self-propelled gun KRAB was destroyed. It might have seemed that the "Krab"s had disappeared somewhere, but due to high losses over the past two years, they have increasingly been withdrawn far from the front line. They have become one of the top priority targets for Russian artillery and kamikaze drones "Lancet". Moreover, the barrels and mechanisms of these self-propelled guns quickly break down. Repairing the "Krab"s requires sending them to Poland or to specialized hubs, as their maintenance in field conditions is extremely difficult due to the complexity of Western systems.

"The US will ‘make a ton of money’ from the Iran war"
Senator Lindsey Graham has described the ongoing conflict in the Middle East as “a good investment”
The US will control almost a third of the world’s oil and reap record profits if it succeeds in toppling the Iranian government, hawkish Republican Senator Lindsey Graham told Fox News on Sunday.
Graham made his comments as global oil prices surged past $100 per barrel, a rise that President Donald Trump dismissed as “a very small price to pay” for the US‑Israeli war against Iran, which was launched on February 28.
Graham described the cost of the attacks on Iran as the “best money ever spent,” and argued that the war was meant to prevent the country from developing nuclear weapons – something Iran has long denied, insisting that its nuclear program is peaceful.
“When this regime goes down, we’re going to have a new Middle East, we are going to make a ton of money. Nobody will threaten the Strait of Hormuz again,” Graham said. He added that the US would install a “friendly” government in Tehran.
“Venezuela and Iran have 31% of the world’s oil reserves. We’re going to have a partnership with 31% of the known reserves. This is China’s nightmare. This is a good investment,” Graham said.

Pentagon admit another service member killed by 'Iranian regime attacks'
@Slavyangrad
Russia may start using jet versions of the "Geran" strike drones with speeds of up to 600 km/h, Forbes reports, citing Ukrainian military sources.
Sergei Beskrestnov, an advisor to the Ukrainian Defense Ministry and known as "Flash", believes that the most likely direction for the modernization of these drones is increasing their speed, which could complicate the work of Ukrainian air defense systems.
"Russia may add evasive maneuvers, fly at very low altitudes, or increase speed. Given the design of the 'Geran', increasing speed seems the most feasible option," he said.
According to Ukrainian intelligence, the jet drone "Geran-3" is capable of speeds over 500 km/h, and the larger version, "Geran-5", can reach up to 600 km/h. At the same time, such drones can carry up to 90 kg of explosives and cover distances of around 1,000 km.

Documentation showing the superiority of American air defenses in Bahrain over Iranian drones and missiles😄
Due to the strikes on the Iranian oil industry, Trump's special envoys, Witkoff and Kushner, are heading to Israel. They plan to arrive on Tuesday, according to Channel 12.
According to the TV channel, the visit is being prepared against the backdrop of disagreements between Washington and Tel Aviv following the strikes on Iran's oil infrastructure.
The Americans believe that attacks that so extensively affect Iran's civilian population could have the opposite effect and strengthen the position of the Iranian authorities.
An Israeli security source stated that the attacks on fuel storage facilities were intended to send a signal to Tehran to stop attacks on civilian targets in Israel.
Earlier, US Energy Secretary Chris Wright stated that Washington does not plan to strike Iran's energy infrastructure.

Britain has gas reserves for less than two days amid disruptions in the global energy market, writes the Daily Mail.
According to the gas transmission system operator National Gas, there are about 6.7-7 thousand gigawatt-hours of gas left in the country's storage facilities. This is significantly less than a year ago, and it only covers about one and a half to two days of domestic consumption.
The situation is influenced by tensions in the Middle East: some tankers with liquefied natural gas are changing routes and heading to Asia, where prices are currently higher. As a result, Britain is forced to overpay for supplies and is already paying some of the highest wholesale gas prices in Europe.
Experts warn that the country remains vulnerable due to its small gas storage facilities and high dependence on imports - primarily supplies from Norway and LNG from the USA.

🇮🇷💥🇺🇸Powerful explosions are rumbling: the US Navy's 5th Fleet base in Bahrain and the BAPCO oil company have been attacked
▪️columns of smoke are rising over Manama, the capital of Bahrain, after the Iranian attack.
▪️Iranian forces have also launched powerful strikes against the Bahrain Oil Company (BAPCO), which is actually controlled by the US.
▪️Attempts by the American air defense system "Patriot" to intercept Iranian missiles and drones in the skies of Bahrain have not been successful.

‼️🇷🇺🇺🇦Russia has changed its strike tactics to deplete Ukraine's Patriot missile reserves, - ISW
▪️The Russian Armed Forces have started to use ballistic missiles more frequently in their attacks on Ukraine, likely attempting to exhaust the supplies of interceptor missiles for Patriot systems, writes the American Institute for the Study of War.
▪️During the strikes on March 6-7, about half of the missiles launched were ballistic. Typically, Russia rarely launches more than 10 such missiles in one strike and often uses them in a targeted manner, notes ISW.
▪️Thus, Moscow aims to take advantage of Ukraine's limited supplies of PAC-3 interceptors, as well as the fact that the US and Gulf countries are actively consuming Patriot missiles in the Middle East to defend against Iranian attacks.
▪️In this way, Russia hopes to accelerate the depletion of Ukrainian air defense and complicate the acquisition of new interceptors from partners, analysts believe.
Nonsense ISW piece, Russia has focused more on ballistic missiles over cruise missiles as Ukraine struggles to shoot them down. ISW is d-list thinktank.
@Slavyangrad
Bahraini patriot misfires and kills the people it's supposed to protect.
Honestly, they would be better leaving Iranian missiles alone.
Let them hit their intended target of American bases and logistics, instead of their own infrastructure and population.

It's interesting that the American "experience" of war with Iran is unlikely to be considered fully successful if it is obtained without serious tragedies for the US, for example, the loss of an aircraft carrier. One or two. In recent history, the American fleet has practically not faced a situation where its key symbols of power - aircraft carriers - were under threat.
We're talking primarily about the already deployed ships "Lincoln" and "Ford" near Iran (the latter is located in the Red Sea). Regardless of their location, these ships are the centers of strike aircraft carrier groups and, in fact, a projection of American military power anywhere in the world.
For the American military machine, the loss of even one such ship would be an event of historic proportions. Since the Second World War, the US has not lost aircraft carriers in combat, and modern aircraft carrier strike groups were built precisely around the assumption that their echelon defense could prevent such a scenario.
Iran has not yet dared to test the strength of these ships' defenses (statements about missile launches do not count, as it's unclear what the result was). How resilient these systems are in the conditions of a saturated missile war and heavy shelling, the Americans still don't know. Because if such a strike ever does occur, it will be an event that will instantly change the strategic balance and political reality around the entire war and American power in general.
Iran has more than enough tools to implement this plan. The only question is whether they will use them or not.

Ukraine has protested against the world art exhibition in Venice due to the admission of Russians to participate.
This refers to the Venice Biennale. This year, its organizers allowed Russia to exhibit its national pavilion titled "The Tree is Rooted in The Sky", which in turn sparked a protest from the Ukrainian government.
The head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, Andrey Sybiha, and the Minister of Culture, Tatyana Berezhna, called on the Biennale organizers to reconsider this decision.
"Russia openly uses culture as a tool of political action. The statement by the director of the Russian Hermitage Museum, Mikhail Piotrovsky, who called Russian cultural projects abroad a 'special operation', is indicative. This confirms that Russian cultural presence is often part of a broader state policy of legitimizing aggression," the statement said.
However, the Italian Ministry of Culture did not approve of the admission of the Russian pavilion. According to them, this decision was made by the foundation that organizes the exhibition.
