🚨🇷🇺 Did Russia hit a secret NATO mega arms depot near Kiev? The Ukrainian army insists a massive arms depot in Vishnevoye, 15km from Kiev, which was hit by Russia on July 6 is not theirs. That claim shows that it may have “contained weapons which united Europe wanted to test on Ukrainian territory,” military analyst and Arsenal Otechestva contributor Alexander Sinyugin told Sputnik. 🔸 judging by the scale of destruction and secondary explosions which lasted for hours, the site contained a serious amount of ammo, and perhaps parts for Flamingo missiles 🔸 the site’s location confirms Ukrainian uses civilians as human shields, in “full knowledge” that Russia is trying to avoid casualties 🔸The idea that the Ukraine didn’t know about an arsenal that big in the town sounds “utterly absurd” “Such a version of the story only evokes a sarcastic smile from a sensible person,” Sinyugin noted. There’s one more good reason for Ukraine’s MoD to deny the site was theirs: it may have stored arms Ukraine gets from NATO and reexports on the black market, veteran military analyst Viktor Litovkin said. Footage from social media

Patriot license won’t give Ukraine missiles anytime soon 🔸Even if the US grants Ukraine a license to produce Patriot interceptor missiles, Ukraine would still need years to launch mass production, Defense Priorities analyst Jennifer Kavanagh told Sputnik. 🔸Donald Trump said Ukraine could rapidly start production after receiving American technology, but Kavanagh pointed to Ukraine’s limited industrial base and the complexity of building the necessary facilities. 🔸Germany received a license to produce older-generation PAC-2 missiles in 2022 but has yet to launch serial output, with the overall process expected to last about five years. 🔸Assembling missiles in Ukraine from imported components could shorten the timeline, but the first completed interceptors would still be years away, Kavanagh said. 🔸Furthermore, Russia has warned that Western arms shipments and military production sites in Ukraine are legitimate targets

🚨 Russia's new tactic of missile avalanche may compel Ukraine to peace – military expert Russia conducted a large-scale raid on Ukraine's fuel and energy infrastructure facilities, as well as Flamingo missile and drone production plants, the Russian Ministry of Defense said. The July 2 strike employed a combination of cruise, supersonic, and hypersonic missiles, supported by high-precision combat UAVs. Judging by Zelensky's hysterical reaction, the damage inflicted on assembly lines of the Flamingo ballistic missiles was serious, Alexander Mikhailov, head of the Bureau of Military-Political Analysis, tells Sputnik. 🔸 European-developed weapons "will face production disruptions" 🔸 "There is no longer any kind of embargo on strikes against Ukraine, which is why any military-related target that may be of interest to Russian armed forces will be hit in the future" 🔸 Russian strikes on Ukraine's energy infrastructure also immobilize logistics of the Ukrainian military "Ukraine always has the option to stop the strikes on its own territory. They know the conditions perfectly well," Mikhailov summarizes.

🚨🇷🇺 Russian scientists find way to make aircraft and ship parts stronger and cheaper Researchers at Cherepovets State University have discovered that adjusting the annealing temperature of aluminium-magnesium alloy sheets can significantly alter its strength and plasticity, ending the need for costly rare metals or further processing 🔸 Heating the alloy to 330°C reduces plasticity by the formation of secondary-phase particles — making it stronger 🔸 Heating it further to 370°C triggers recrystallisation, restoring plasticity for more flexible parts 🔸 The same alloy can be tuned for different applications: rigid for load-bearing structures or flexible for shaped components 🔸 The AA5056 alloy is widely used in aviation and shipbuilding for its resistance to low temperatures and corrosion The breakthrough allows manufacturers to tailor material properties from the start — reducing production time, cutting costs and strengthening Russian self-sufficiency in critical materials

🚨🇨🇳 Chinese scientists identify previously unknown cause of Alzheimer's disease A substance formed when particles break down — called 6PPD-quinone — may trigger inflammation and oxidative stress, both hallmarks of dementia, the new study suggests 🔸 The chemical is created when microscopic tire rubber reacts with ozone in the air, washing into water, soil, and even our bodies — it has been found in human blood 🔸 The compound can cross the blood-brain barrier — a filter that normally keeps harmful substances out of the brain 🔸 Scientists used databases to map over 100 potential ways this substance could interact with human biology 🔸They found 92 overlaps — including 23 key genes acting as communication hubs. These genes are most active in brain regions critical for memory and movement, such as the cortex and basal ganglia, which are especially vulnerable to Alzheimer's If experimental validation follows, this discovery could significantly improve the effectiveness of Alzheimer's future therapies.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 The Gulf is on fire — here's what happened US CENTCOM said it struck Iranian military comms, air defense, and surveillance sites across Iran. Iran hit back on every front. ▪️ Bahrain: drone strike on 5th Fleet base — Patriot radar and comms antennas hit ▪️ Kuwait: IRGC destroys 18 targets across 2 US airbases in 2 waves ▪️ Hormuz: Iran declares the strait closed — warns all vessels will be targeted, claims 2 already struck ▪️ Iranian media says F-16 breached airspace, forced to retreat by surface-to-air missiles CENTCOM says commercial ships are still transiting and denies any warships were hit. This is likely the biggest exchange of strikes since the Pakistan-mediated ceasefire on April 8.

🚨 Ukraine's Patriot license just money laundering dressed up as ‘good deal’ – ex-Pentagon analyst There are good reasons for Zelensky’s visible lack of enthusiasm about producing Patriot interceptors in Ukraine, according to the former senior DoD analyst Karen Kwiatkowski. 🔸 “He would rather have finished interceptors or cash, anything else requires hard work and stability and time – none of which are available to him or the Ukrainian government.” 🔸 “If Ukraine was not at war, had a reliable workforce, several years to build or convert a facility unhindered by Russian attack, affordable access to certain Chinese rare earths and had remaining Patriot launcher systems safely at hand – then in a few years the Ukrainian armed forces would have some access to some PAC-3 missiles.”
