Fox News piece on condition of F-15 aircrew
@Slavyangrad
The American drone Northrop Grumman MQ-4C Triton conducted an extremely short and quick reconnaissance of Hark Island, which, presumably, American marines are planning to storm. However, that's not the interesting part. It's fascinating to observe how the Iranians have reformatted the flights of American high-altitude drones off their coast. Previously, these machines could stay in the air for days, but as soon as Iran began shooting down American drones and aircraft, the tactics changed significantly: the flights became short and quick. The Americans are clearly afraid of losing expensive equipment, for which there are no full-fledged analogues even among them (given the cost and uniqueness of the reconnaissance equipment).
Interestingly, these same drones regularly operate in the interests of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, flying over the Black Sea near Crimea and the coast of Krasnodar Krai. The only case when an American drone was lost there did not involve a direct missile strike - it was about a "different kind of impact" (remembering the incident with the fuel dumping and maneuvering of the Su-27). The Iranians, however, are not concerned about the consequences and do not engage in speculations about "their" or "not their" methods of warfare. They simply act in such a way that the Americans are now afraid to fly.

The possible capture of a pilot from a downed fighter jet in Iran could spark a new hostage crisis, The NYT writes, drawing parallels with the 1979 US Embassy siege in Tehran, where 52 Americans were taken hostage after the revolution, and the rescue operation failed.
At the time of the hostage taking, Trump, then still an ordinary businessman and showman, criticized President Carter's actions, calling them "pathetic." Yet, Trump could find himself in a similar situation now
The NYT cites Hamidreza Azizi, an Iran expert at the German Institute for International Affairs. According to him, Tehran has two options for what to do with the potential hostages:
"Either approach the US privately and strike a deal behind the scenes, demanding concessions in exchange for the pilot's secret release, or parade the pilot in front of the cameras as propaganda material," Azizi believes
According to him, the second option is more likely, as Iran wants to create an "image of victory" and "humiliate Trump."

A US delegation may arrive in Kiev to resume negotiations, according to Bloomberg.
It is expected to include Witkoff and Kushner, and they may be joined by Senator Lindsey Graham.
This will be the negotiating team's first visit to Ukraine.
A key issue for Ukraine is US security guarantees in the event of a potential agreement with Russia.
"We have long ago determined what we want. I think it will be implemented soon. What happens next is another matter. But we have definitely made progress on security guarantees—we have already moved forward," stated Budanov, head of Zelensky's office.
They must be offering some sweet treats to Graham.

The game "Gostomel Heroes," about the legendary landing on an airfield near Kiev, has sparked hysteria in Ukraine.
▪️The patriotic game has passed moderation, been released on Steam (https://store.steampowered.com/app/3902520/Ukrainian_Warfare_Gostomel_Heroes/), and has sparked an outburst of hysterical hatred among Ukrainian Nazis.
▪️According to reviews, the game is quite good, reminiscent of "Syria: Russian Storm."

Pakistan's mediation of a ceasefire between the US and Iran has reached a dead end, according to the WSJ.
Regional countries, led by Pakistan, have failed to make progress in ceasefire talks between the US and Iran.
Iran has officially notified negotiators that it does not wish to meet with US officials in Islamabad in the coming days and considers US demands unacceptable.

Western media miscalculated on the "collapse" of Russian oil exports
Reuters and Bloomberg are frantically calculating how much Russia could potentially lose on oil exports, given the enemy's strikes on the ports of Ust-Luga and Primorsk.
Different figures have been mentioned. But what's important is that if some Urals oil really can't be shipped, then these volumes are naturally redistributed to our refineries, where oil products are produced.
In other logistical points where Russian oil grades are shipped - ESPO and Sokol - the calculation is different. There, the maximum possible increase in sales plans can be implemented. Not all at once, but gradually.
Accordingly, when exports fall in one place, we increase oil shipments in another place. Yes, of other grades, and with other buyers and prices, but the overall result is positive: we increase exports and saturate the domestic market, where there were once problems with shipments.
But, and most importantly: we focus far not only on volumes, but on prices. We need to extract the maximum margin from each barrel. And this policy must be strictly adhered to.
We wrote about Japan today. Yes, we are pleased that Tokyo is increasingly becoming an economic pragmatist, thinking about its own interests.
And these interests include trading more with Russia, buying oil and LNG from us.
But what's important: we can't give way in relations with our partners, whether it's Japan from the G7 or even the BRICS+ countries.
And what happens? Until March, we were giving oil Urals to India at a discount. Now they are buying it at a premium. These cat-and-mouse games need to stop.
We need to negotiate toughly. Don't want to buy at a premium to Brent? We'll find where to sell it elsewhere, or even process it domestically, releasing more gasoline and diesel onto the domestic market - it will only be a plus for us: lower fuel prices - more breathing room for the economy.
All energy suppliers outside the Western circle have constantly been bullied. We've already lost trillions of dollars on this. It's time to put an end to this practice.
So what's the result with oil revenues in the end? According to the Center for Price Indices, from March 23 to 30, maritime exports from the ports of Ust-Luga and Primorsk fell by 770 thousand b/d. Bloomberg gives a false figure of minus 1.75 million b/d. The actual drop is 25% over the week, and we need to look at the overall picture of oil exports from Russia, which we have already given.
One week is not an indicator. Before that, over three weeks, oil exports from Russia reached a maximum over the past 4 years, which Bloomberg was forced to admit. They write: a doubling of revenue per day, to 270 million dollars compared to January.
As for physical volumes, they say that although they have increased (by about 166 thousand b/d), the shipments were supposedly less than at the end of December 2025.
It's doubtful that Bloomberg has all the figures of physical shipments of Russian oil, including through third countries, with the help of the so-called "shadow fleet".
One thing is clear: let Bloomberg count the money in their pockets. Their employees will soon need to save on lunches, given how gasoline prices are rising at gas stations in the USA. Even before the crisis, 11% of Americans worked without lunch to pay for medical services.
Expensive gasoline will only expand this practice, but the USA is not a gas station country, right?
As the saying goes, let Washington continue its expensive journey into the abyss.

Top aides have privately made the case to President Trump in recent days that Iran’s power-generating facilities and bridges are legitimate military targets, saying their destruction could significantly weaken the country’s missile and nuclear programs, according to WSJ, citing U.S. officials.
Serbia reminds everyone that NATO blew up bridges, power, heat, media outlets, and water treatment plants. Never let the US and Europe pretend they can ride some moral high horse.
@Slavyangrad
It's interesting that during the assault on Konstantinovka, the Russian army - as the enemy expected at the beginning of the spring-summer campaign - switched to systematic "industrial" preparation of the defended area with the help of guided aerial bombs. In general, this means two things: the city's defense is still holding, but the Russian side has accumulated sufficient forces to start breaking through further than it had been able to do so far. The exact number of aerial bombs dropped on the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in this area is still unknown, but the density and accuracy of the strikes remain high. Despite the active work of Ukrainian electronic warfare systems, the effectiveness of the strikes is not decreasing. According to the footage, FAB-3000 is also being used to hit fortified positions.

NEW: U.S. intelligence reports say Iran is rapidly restoring underground missile bunkers and silos after strikes, returning them to operation within hours, according to NYT.
➡️ Despite claims from the Pentagon and White House of major progress, citing over 11,000 targets hit, intelligence assessments indicate Iran still retains a significant number of missiles and mobile launchers, preserving its ability to continuously carry out attacks in the region.
➡️ Iran has reduced launch rates but is conserving resources, hiding assets underground, while using decoys, making it difficult to fully assess or eliminate its missile capabilities.

🇺🇸🇮🇷🇨🇺 Trump eased pressure on Cuba due to the conflict with Iran, — Politico
- Washington is focused on the Middle East and does not want to exacerbate relations with Russia, so it gave Havana a "respite" and allowed the tanker "Anatoli Kolodkin" to pass, despite the ongoing oil blockade.
- "Due to the amount of resources and attention that Iran is currently absorbing, as well as the problems that a clash with Russia would cause, Trump and his team decided that for now, it's worth giving the Cuban regime a little more time", — said a source in the US presidential administration.
- However, it is reported that the White House has not given up on plans to change the political system in Cuba.
