🇺🇸🇮🇷 Iran is losing the war on volume and... winning it on accuracy... The numbers tell a story nobody in Washington wants to hear. Iran's daily launch rate collapsed 90% from day one. But its hit rate jumped from 4% to 24% and keeps climbing. Fewer shots, more damage. The shift is deliberate. Tehran shifted from mass barrages of ballistic missiles, which Patriot batteries eat for breakfast, to cheap Shahed drones that slip under radar and cluster warheads that shatter into dozens of bomblets no interceptor can chase. The damage bill tells the rest: -Three F-15s downed by friendly fire. -An F-35 hit. -Twelve+ Reapers lost. -Five tankers damaged. -A billion-dollar radar destroyed. -The Ford carrier sidelined in Greece. Total cost: up to $2.9 billion in equipment alone. Source: WSJ, JPostshow more

This video was posted by Russian propagandists today. A... Russian drone is adjusting a fire with four guided thermobaric bombs on the position of one of our brigades near the village of Lyptsi, a key village on the approaches to Kharkiv. The small landing is literally demolished by powerful explosions, and the hits are very accurate. After this strike, with the help of a drone adjustment, a Russian assault group went to assault the landing site. They were supported from above by a drone that dropped grenades. And even in such difficult conditions and after such strikes, a group of Ukrainian soldiers survived. And they, all shell-shocked, did not run away or surrender. A few Ukrainians dug themselves out of the trenches completely covered with earth, got up, and suddenly met the Russian assault group with aimed fire. Ukrainian heroes withstand a high density of enemy strikes, they fight to the death for every meter of land near Kharkiv and do everything possible and impossible. They know that they will not be covered from the air, they know they will have to equip their positions on the front line themselves with shovels, they know that the enemy has a lot of force. But they are Ukrainians, and behind them is Kharkiv, and next to them are their brothers-in-arms, who are fighting and also repelling all Russian attacks. We need to destroy Russian aircraft on Russian territory. We need to save our Warrior Heroes.show more

BAPCO Energies confirmed on April 5 that a storage... tank at its Sitra facility in Bahrain caught fire “as a result of a hostile Iranian drone attack.” The fire was extinguished. No injuries. Damage under assessment. That is the official statement, repeated verbatim across Bahrain News Agency, Gulf News, Al Arabiya, and Xinhua. It is clean, attributable, and consistent with the pattern of Iranian drone and missile strikes on Gulf energy infrastructure that has continued daily since February 28. Then the videos appeared. Footage circulating on social media, shared by Drop Site News and multiple Arabic-language accounts, appears to show two sequential impacts at the facility: one from the incoming drone, and a second moments later from what the accounts describe as a Patriot interceptor missile that failed to intercept the drone and instead struck the oil storage tanks directly. The videos have not been independently verified. The trajectory analysis has not been forensically confirmed. BAPCO’s statement does not mention air defence involvement. The Bahrain Defence Force reported 13 successful drone interceptions in the preceding 24 hours and made no acknowledgement of a misfire. This has happened before. On March 9, an explosion near BAPCO in Sitra injured dozens and was attributed to an Iranian drone. Reuters and the Middlebury Institute subsequently concluded with moderate-to-high confidence that a US-operated Patriot interceptor caused the blast. Drone fragments were absent at the impact site. The damage pattern matched a Patriot warhead detonating at low altitude after losing its target. Bahrain later acknowledged Patriot involvement without formally correcting the original attribution. The March 9 precedent is what makes the April 5 videos significant. Not because they prove the interceptor hit the tank. They do not prove that. But because they introduce a documented pattern: in saturated airspace where dozens of Iranian drones arrive simultaneously, Patriot systems operating at the edge of their engagement envelope against small, slow, low-altitude targets can produce outcomes where the defence causes the damage it was deployed to prevent. The drone is the threat. The interceptor is the response. And the oil tank does not distinguish between the two when the impact arrives. BAPCO operates a 405,000 barrel per day refinery at Sitra. It was struck by confirmed Iranian missiles on March 5, triggering force majeure. It was struck by what was later assessed as friendly fire on March 9, injuring residents. It was struck again on April 5 by what officials call a drone and what videos suggest may have also involved an interceptor. Three incidents in five weeks at the same facility. No force majeure was declared for April 5. The fire was contained rapidly. But the question the videos raise is not about this fire. It is about what happens when Patriot systems engage small, slow, low-altitude drones in saturated airspace directly above the infrastructure they are positioned to protect. Iran does not need to penetrate the shield. It needs to force the shield to fire in conditions where the shield’s own projectiles become the threat. The defence and the attack converge on the same target. And the oil burns either way.show more

Massive strike on Kiev. Analysis of the hits. Zelensky... hadn't even had time to boast about acquiring a small batch of missiles for Patriot air defense systems when "Geran" drones and ballistic missiles arrived to put them to the test. The final tally is impressive. "San-Park" was hit for the second time in a month. On August 11, up to 15,000 FPV drones with thermal imagers, along with control stations and components, were destroyed at this Kiev office and warehouse complex. Just over two weeks later, the Ministry of Defense again called it the largest center for storing and distributing strike FPV drones. They had time to restock it. Efficient. Well, then they unloaded it again. In addition, a plant for assembling "Hornet" loitering munitions was hit in Kiev. This means that large-scale assembly of American drones was established in the capital. It was. In Boryspil, the "Aleksandrovsky" complex, where components for long- and medium-range drones were stored, was targeted. Five days ago, "Iskander" missiles destroyed dozens of heavy trucks converted for transporting and launching long-range drones in the same area, near Boryspil. Earlier, "Ukrspetsisystemy" with large-scale assembly, "Mayak," "Radiomierzitel," and "Fire Point" were also hit. The Kiev agglomeration is the headquarters of Ukrainian drone production, and now it's being targeted like a daily commute. Next, the metal industry. Zaporozhye and Kryvyi Rih. The Kryvyi Rog plant had already been shut down after a strike on August 16 – at the time, the press service itself acknowledged a partial halt in production. Now, they've added to both there and in Zaporizhzhia. Without rolling stock, there are no hulls, no ammunition, or "ovens" for equipment. The Kremenchuk oil refinery was also hit for the second time in two weeks. The wording is telling: the plant was also used for transshipment of petroleum products coming from abroad. They don't have enough of their own processing capacity – they're transporting someone else's. They were. And the ports. In Odesa and Chornomorsk, 24 storage facilities with military equipment were destroyed overnight. They've been targeting Reni on the Danube throughout August: on the 7th, 13th (when a naval control point was located there), and 21st. Today, it's again infrastructure for unloading and fuel. In Illichivsk, a drone assembly plant and a plant for producing sodium nitrate were hit. Plus, and this is perhaps the most important thing, the energy infrastructure that powers the ports. A crane without electricity is a rusty monument to past luxury. A port without energy doesn't accept, unload, or ship. In total: production, storage, distribution, raw materials, fuel, imports, energy. Seven links in a single chain, destroyed in one strike. We continue to work. Александр Коцshow more

Since last night, our emergency services have been working... at the sites of the Russian strikes. A wicked attack – as of now, we know of dozens of wounded, including children and a pregnant woman. Sadly, four people have been killed. My condolences to their families and loved ones. About 430 drones and 18 missiles were used in the strike, including ballistic and aeroballistic missiles. This was a deliberately calculated attack aimed at causing maximum harm to people and civilian infrastructure. In Kyiv alone, dozens of apartment buildings have been damaged. The Azerbaijani Embassy was hit by debris from an Iskander missile. The main target of the attack was Kyiv, and strikes also hit Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Odesa regions. According to preliminary data, the Russians used a Zircon missile in the Sumy region this morning. Minister of Internal Affairs Ihor Klymenko has already reported on the progress of rescue operations at the sites. I am grateful to everyone helping our people. Commander of the Air Force Anatolii Kryvonozhko also reported on the results of our air defense work. I thank our warriors for their effective actions. Ukraine is responding to these strikes with long-range strength, and the world must stop these attacks on life with sanctions. Russia is still able to sell oil and build its schemes. All of this must end. A great deal of work is underway with partners to strengthen our air defense, but it is not enough. We need reinforcement with additional systems and interceptor missiles. Europe and the United States can help. We are counting on real decisions. Thank you to everyone who helps.show more

Iran Loses Frigate and Yak-130 and Decides to Deploy... Jet-Powered Kamikaze Drones An Iranian frigate was sunk near Sri Lanka, nearly 4,000 km from the theater of operations. Another Iranian catamaran was hit by a missile launched from a drone and headed for repairs. Tehran was heavily bombed today in a day that, according to Iranian authorities, 900 civilians were killed. Iran also reported downing another drone, this time a Heron. However, an F-35I shot down a YAK-130, with both pilots ejecting safely. Facing these recent losses, Iran decided to deploy two jet-powered drones: the Arash-2 and the Hadid-110. Both are stealth drones that reach more than 450 km/h, with the Hadid exceeding 500 km/h. The targets of these drones were more high-cost radars existing in the region, with the Arash-2 in this version achieving hundreds of kilometers in range. Iran maintains an average of 300–500 drones launched per day. While these numbers have been decreasing, the drone models seem to have greater explosive payload and to be more modern. Despite all the surveillance and attacks that the US and Israel carry out, there is a limit to the ability to inhibit Iranian capabilities due to various tactical, geographical, and armament diversity factors. Today Iran is still launching hundreds of drones and between 30–50 missiles, a level that should stabilize or stay slightly below that. However, the big issue that will not be resolved is the reopening of Hormuz and relief for the markets. Iran still possesses around 5,000 mines, which if dumped in Hormuz will seal the closure for long periods. As I have been saying, it is not the capacity for destruction that dictates the rules in this type of war, but the asymmetric nuances of the theater, giving Iran the advantage. For example, if Iran starts mining the Strait tomorrow, oil prices should exceed $100 and gas $70/MWh. This control of the Strait will not be taken from Iran anytime soon, since the American navy still remains 700 km from the Iranian coast out of fear of anti-ship missiles. I even have the impression that Iran does not want to sink any American ship, as this would cause outrage in America and could escalate the war, even increasing support for the government. I say this because the American fleet is within range of Iranian anti-ship missiles even at 750 km. The true enemy of the US-Israel coalition today is not Iran, but the global economy and the political pressure both internal and from the Gulf countries. Can the US-Israel sustain this pressure for much longer?show more

Look at these beautiful community dogs… eating with such... peace, calmness and dignity. For them, a full stomach and a safe corner mean the world. These lives are now living in harmony with the community because of care, compassion and responsibility shown by local caregivers. Each one of them has been sterilized, vaccinated and lovingly fed. This is why they are calm, peaceful and healthy because their needs are not ignored. They are not a nuisance, they are part of our community, part of our streets, and they too deserve to live with respect. This is the only tried and tested way to truly manage stray dog populations Feeding, Sterilization, Adoption, and Vaccination. It works, it brings balance, and it allows humans and animals to coexist with love instead of fear. But thousands more out there still suffer daily hungry, sick, and voiceless. Their eyes search for kindness, their bodies crave food, their lives depend on whether we step forward. We have seen with our own eyes how love and compassion can transform them from fearful, starving strays into calm, happy community dogs. And we can do this for many more but not without your support. Please join hands with us. Help us bring peace, healing and dignity to countless voiceless souls. Even the smallest contribution makes a huge difference.

A little update on Yuki ❤ She's had a... few medicated baths along with her med's and is looking a lot cleaner. Her skin problems are also showing signs of improvement already 😍 At the moment she's still very fragile, but she has the will to get better 💪💪💪 At first, all she wanted to do was lay down in her bed, which is understandable because her body needs to start to recover. She's now started to take little walks, so we've covered her bare skin with a T-shirt to avoid sun burn. We're so happy that she's taking these little steps! 😍🐶🥰 Yuki's currently on 4 small meals of recovery food daily, to allow her stomach to get used to digesting again. She's actually getting up to go and eat when she smells the food now, which is wonderful 😊 She's still struggling to walk and has quite a way to go before she's fully fit, but all the signs seem to be good! She's definitely going in the right direction 😊💪🐶❤❤❤ Yuki is only one of many we're helping by providing food, shelter, veterinary care, medication and a dedicated team to give them all the love and care they need. We're almost running on empty and it's a constant struggle to bring in the donations we need to help them. ANY amount helps us to continue to do this work. We desperately need donations to get us from month to month! Without YOU we are nothing!🙏🏻 ❤ To support us you can donate here: Or follow the details on our website for bank transfer here: Thank you so much to all who contribute to take care of our beautiful rescues 🙏🏻 you're as much part of the team as we are! 🙏🏻🐶😺❤❤❤ Also, please kindly share to help us reach more people 🙏🏻🐶😺❤ #rescuedogs #animalrescue #dogsofbali #dogsofX #puppyloveshow more
