🇨🇿🇺🇦🧨 The Czech Republic has successfully fulfilled the commitment it made last year to transfer 1,800,000 artillery shells to Ukraine during 2025 (over 80% in 155mm caliber, along with smaller calibers such as 122mm and 105mm). The full shipment has already been delivered to Ukraine. 🔸 As a reminder, under the “Czech initiative” program, Prague has been steadily supplying Kyiv for the past two years with artillery ammunition either procured in third countries or produced by European manufacturers.

🇰🇵➡️🇷🇺 North Korea saved Putin from losing the war. A Reuters investigation has revealed that for nearly 20 months, millions of North Korean artillery shells were funneled into the Russian frontlines in Ukraine. In many areas, the majority of shells fired by Russian forces in the past year were made in the DPRK. And it wasn’t just shells. By the end of 2023, Russia began launching North Korean ballistic missiles at Ukrainian cities. One such strike, on central Kharkiv on January 2, 2024, left devastation so extreme that a Reuters reporter described it as unlike anything he had seen before. According to Hugh Griffiths, former UN coordinator monitoring sanctions on North Korea: “North Korean artillery shells are a strategic imperative. Without them, Putin would have lost his war in Ukraine. Russia simply doesn’t have the industrial capacity to produce the ammunition it needs. It depends on North Korea.” 🧨 While the West debates “not escalating,” North Korea arms a nuclear-armed terrorist state. 🛑 This isn’t about “Ukraine vs. Russia” anymore — it’s a global alliance of tyranny versus democracy.

Today, I had the opportunity to express gratitude to our defense industry workers. These are the people who have dedicated their lives to Ukrainian strength. People who manufacture our weapons, which show results on the battlefield, at sea, and in air strikes on Russia's war machine. I thank them for Ukrainian artillery shells, cannons, drones, missiles, and electronic warfare systems. For everything that helps our warriors fight and saves Ukraine’s life and the lives of Ukrainians. We will have more weapons, shells, drones, and EW systems. Today, I met workers from one of our defense facilities. We do not talk about it officially. During wartime, we cannot openly demonstrate our capabilities. We will, of course, openly express our gratitude after the war. These are the people who have found a way to significantly strengthen our country. With each day, we gain more and more of this strength. The strength we need so much. Such a long-range strength.

🚨 WEF Scientists Creating Lab-Grown Children Designed For Sex With Pedophiles For years, the elite have been dropping hints, teasing their plans. Now, it's all out there - no more games. They’re on the cusp of brewing kids in labs - soulless, mindless shells - designed to feed the twisted, depraved cravings of the ultra-rich and global elite. It’s tied to their depopulation push, fueled by the sickness they all share: pedophilia, the glue that binds them. How do we know? Because they're straight-up gloating about it - rubbing it in our faces. You’ll be floored when you see it for yourself. And if you’ve got even a shred of a moral compass, it’s going to light a fire in you.

🇺🇦🇷🇺"UKRAINE FINALLY HAS WHAT IT NEEDS TO WIN DESPITE LOSING TERRITORY" Paul Warburg argues Ukraine is "trading land for time" while building indigenous weapons capacity that could sustain the war even if Western support collapses completely: "When I say Ukraine finally has what it needs to win, it doesn't mean they're going to overwhelm Russia tomorrow. But it does mean they have what they need over the long term. Ukraine may very well be trading land for time. The primary weapons that Ukraine itself uses, whether that be the drones, artillery shells now, long-range missiles. Ukraine has bought itself sufficient time to where even if Europe and the United States pull back in a significant way, they'll still be able to continue their campaign against Russia."

For the first time, our new economic policy program "Made in Ukraine" was discussed at a regional meeting in Sumy. This year, there are significant financial resources available for all regions of our state, including the Sumy region, which is guaranteed. As a result of today's meetings, government officials, the State Property Fund, the President's Office, and regional authorities now have very specific tasks. Contracts for our defense industrial complex have been signed. I am proud that every month, more and more companies and developers offer specific samples of weapons, shells, equipment, demining vehicles, and many other things—everything that is required at the front and that, thanks to the power of technology, will save the lives of our people. Today, there are new contracts for automated fire driving systems, new FPV drones with appropriate dropping capabilities, and mobile fire group training—all of which will help to effectively shoot down the "Shaheds." All that is required.

"The first to break down were those who believed that it would all end soon. Next to break down were those who did not believe that it would ever end. Those who survived were those who focused on their own affairs, without expectations of what might happen next." I’m reading an old quote, and it speaks directly to us, to how we live here, in Ukraine. Over the years of war, many have broken down because their minds are dead set on the past: on how things were "before." Now, those who remain in Ukraine have learned the main lesson: the war won't ask if we are tired or not. We try not to think about what will happen a year from now, because it drives you mad. The life of ordinary people in Ukraine is mostly survival, not heroism. True heroism is at the front, where bullets whistle, shells explode, and drones buzz, hunting for living people. We cannot control the rockets and drones. We cannot control the politicians. But we are capable of controlling ourselves. That is how we hold on ✊🇺🇦.

Hidden beneath the streets of Margate, Kent, England, lies one of the world’s most puzzling and awe-inspiring structures — the Shell Grotto, a subterranean cave system adorned with millions of shells arranged in intricate patterns and mosaics. Discovered by sheer accident in 1835, this underground passageway has since become a source of fascination and mystery, captivating the imaginations of archaeologists, historians, and visitors alike. What truly sets this grotto apart from other historical wonders is not just its stunning craftsmanship but the profound mystery surrounding its origin, purpose, and creators. The Shell Grotto was discovered by a curious young boy named James Newlove while digging a duck pond with his father. As they dug deeper, they stumbled upon a passageway that led into a cavernous series of tunnels covered from floor to ceiling with millions of shells, arranged in intricate and elaborate designs. This hidden masterpiece, buried beneath layers of earth, had remained untouched and unseen for what many believe could have been centuries. As word of the discovery spread, scholars, locals, and travelers flocked to see this astonishing underground marvel. Yet, as people began to explore its depths, more questions emerged than answers. Who built it? When was it created? And most intriguingly, why? Upon entering the Shell Grotto, visitors are greeted by a mesmerizing array of over 4.6 million shells meticulously arranged to form mosaics that span the walls and ceilings. The craftsmanship is nothing short of extraordinary — every inch of the grotto is covered in shells, including local varieties such as whelk, mussels, cockles, and oysters, all carefully selected and positioned to create symbols, patterns, and figures. The designs are both captivating and confounding. Some mosaics depict what appear to be stars, suns, flowers, and geometric shapes, while others suggest more cryptic symbols, resembling serpents, birds, and human figures. These intricate designs give the grotto an otherworldly and almost mystical quality. Yet, despite the extensive study of these mosaics, their meanings remain shrouded in mystery. Are they religious symbols, ancient hieroglyphics, or simply the whims of an imaginative artist? One of the most compelling aspects of the Shell Grotto is the total absence of any historical record about its construction. No one knows who built it, why, or even when it was created. Over the years, various theories have emerged, each offering its own intriguing possibility: Ancient Temple or Shrine - Some believe Shell Grotto could be remnants of an ancient temple or religious shrine, perhaps dating back to Roman or Phoenician period. Mysterious symbols and patterns could be connected to forgotten rites or ceremonies, with the shells themselves acting as sacred or spiritual symbols. Given Margate’s coastal location, it is plausible that the grotto was once part of a larger complex used by ancient civilizations. Medieval Secret Society Meeting Place - Another theory posits that grotto served as a secret meeting place for hidden society or organization during the medieval era. The covert nature of the grotto’s location, combined with the symbolic motifs, has led some to speculate that it was used by the Knights Templar or another clandestine group for rituals or gatherings. The cave’s secluded design certainly aligns with the need for privacy and secrecy. A Product of Eccentricity or Victorian Art - Yet another possibility is that grotto was constructed in 18th or 19th Century by an eccentric individual with a passion for art and design. This theory suggests that Shell Grotto might be an elaborate art project created purely for aesthetic pleasure, with the intention of mesmerizing and baffling those who encountered it. In this case, intricate shellwork would serve as a testament to the creativity and craftsmanship of the period rather than as religious or symbolic structure. #archaeohistories

The anhinga aka snakebird, water turkey, piano bird or as I like to call them “Amazing Aquatic Dino from Jurassic Park 23.” When it comes to eating, these birds always find themselves in a rather curious and bizarre predicament. With the grace of an underwater ballerina and the enthusiasm of a medieval jouster, the Anhinga uses its long, pointy beak to spear fish while gliding through swampy waters. And since they’ve got no arms, no hands, and not a single finger in sight, removing said fish becomes a full-on physics lesson. They must somehow remove the fresh catch without dropping it. How in the world do they manage this? With a skill that is honed sharper than their own beak. They carefully toss the fish into the air. Spin it so it goes down headfirst and at the final millisecond before release they apply a brilliant little twist, a subtle flick that arcs the fish perfectly back down the hatch. One thing’s for certain. Anhingas don’t need chopsticks. Glad I’m not a fish and so happy to have hands.

What’s behind #GeoPolitical developments this week & #Zelenskyy’s 🇺🇦 terrible visit to 🇺🇸 Washington👇 🔸 #Ukraine 🇺🇦 President Zelenskyy 🇺🇦 signs (and un-signs apparently) a preliminary mineral agreement with US 🇺🇸, but #Trump 🇺🇸 does not provide security guarantees in return casting doubts over relationship. 🔸The press meeting is a PR disaster for Ukraine 🇺🇦 and highly humiliating for Zelenskyy 🇺🇦. 🔸#Türkiye 🇹🇷 and #France 🇫🇷 now appear to be indirectly competing over support for #Ukraine 🇺🇦. They are both offering to put boots on the ground and to be guarantors, provided that America supply some logistical help and intel, while the UK 🇬🇧 and Germany 🇩🇪 could be co-supporters. 🔸Türkiye 🇹🇷 met with a British security delegation yesterday, while simultaneously meeting with Russian officials and delegations. 🔸#Macron 🇫🇷🇪🇺 and #Merz 🇩🇪🇪🇺 had dinner together last night, while Berlin and Paris have entered a new phase of highest level military, industrial and intelligence cooperation. 🔸Here’s the problem: Russia 🇷🇺 doesn’t want Germany 🇩🇪🇪🇺, US 🇺🇸nor UK 🇬🇧anywhere near Kiev 🇺🇦, while Paris 🇫🇷🇪🇺and Ankara 🇹🇷 are perceived slightly more neutral. 🔸In addition, Trump 🇺🇸 remains unconvinced about supporting Europeans in providing security guarantees. 🔸Trump intelligently waits for Ankara, Paris and London to become - seperately - more desperate so that they start to outbid each other, while #Washington gains the negotiation-upper-hand from them on other policy portfolios like Syria 🇸🇾, energy-LNG etc. 🔸 This is where the negotiations get interesting, since each country (Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦, Türkiye 🇹🇷, France/Germany 🇪🇺 and UK 🇬🇧) travel to Washington to offer different deals or formulas to Trump in order to establish a peaceful solution in Ukraine 🇺🇦 which also protects their own interests and increases their regional geo-economic and geo-political ambitions. 🔸It’s clear (especially after tonight) that Zelenskyy 🇺🇦 is lowest on the food chain at the moment. Starmer 🇬🇧 is also very dependent on Trump and Four Eyes, therefore also making the UK 🇬🇧 weak. Macron 🇫🇷🇪🇺 and Erdogan 🇹🇷 are the only two European powers in positions of strength as both have channels to Russia 🇷🇺 , China 🇨🇳 and #India 🇮🇳(Türkiye less so) which provide a counterweight to Trump 🇺🇸. Paris 🇫🇷🇪🇺 is a nuclear power ☢️🚀 and now has Berlin 🇩🇪🇪🇺 under its wing, since Merz was elected. Increasingly this applies for Poland 🇵🇱🇪🇺, Baltics🇪🇪🇱🇹🇱🇻🇪🇺, Nordics 🇩🇰🇫🇮🇸🇪🇳🇴🇪🇺, Spain 🇪🇸🇪🇺, Portugal 🇵🇹🇪🇺 and others 🇪🇺. 🔸Highest on the “Trump food chain” is Israel 🇮🇱, at odds with Ankara 🇹🇷, and also in coordination with Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦.

🐈🇺🇦Small but important campaign to provide net launchers to the 79th Brigade of Ukraine. $2300 required for 3 launchers and 60 nets: PayPal: marshaln111@gmail.com Drones with dropable munitions have become a serious danger on the modern battlefield. They are inexpensive, easy to deploy, and posing a constant threat to soldiers and civilians alike. Still the best means to counter this threat is to physicly destroy or intercept a drone. One of such tools which can be effectivly used are net launchers. These systems can neutralize enemy drones mid-flight, preventing them from causing destruction. We are raising funds to fulfil the request if the Ukraine’s 79th Assault Brigade to equip them with net launcher systems to protect soldiers and save lives.

🐈🇺🇦Small but important campaign to provide net launchers to the 79th Brigade of Ukraine. $2300 required for 3 launchers and 60 nets: PayPal: [email protected] Drones with dropable munitions have become a serious danger on the modern battlefield. They are inexpensive, easy to deploy, and posing a constant threat to soldiers and civilians alike. Still the best means to counter this threat is to physicly destroy or intercept a drone. One of such tools which can be effectivly used are net launchers. These systems can neutralize enemy drones mid-flight, preventing them from causing destruction. We are raising funds to fulfil the request if the Ukraine’s 79th Assault Brigade to equip them with net launcher systems to protect soldiers and save lives. For begging we aim to provide 3 net launching systems and 60 nets from the Ukrainian manufacturer “Ptashka Systems” ( These are relatively inexpensive systems, for all this we need only $2,300. The manufacturer is ready to quickly send the ordered equipment and within a few days after payment the systems will be able to go to the front.

Hello everyone, Our fundraiser is currently stuck at $76,000 out of our $110,000 goal, and we need your help to reach the finish line. Your support can make all the difference! Please consider donating, sharing this post, and letting us know your thoughts in the comments. Why is this so important? Whether it's for offensive or defensive operations, the front lines have become much more dynamic, with the line of contact constantly shifting. This means new fortifications are urgently needed, but digging by hand is too slow, and our troops can’t keep up. Additionally, infantry units need to construct their own fortifications without depending on centralized units that sometimes misplace positions. This is crucial—it saves lives by providing shelter from UMPK bombs, artillery, and FPV drones. In the video, you can see an excavator donated by Liberty Ukraine Foundation 🇺🇸🇺🇦 to the 26th brigade, doing incredible work fortifying a Krab position. I spoke with an officer from the brigade, and he told me this machine has been a game-changer. It has significantly improved their security, reduced losses, and saved countless lives along with tens of millions of dollars worth of equipment. Help us continue making a difference. Donate here:

The Ukrainian mistake that put an entire strategy into question Until the end of 2024, Ukrainian defenses using drones were very effective, slowing down not only the Russian advance but also inflicting significant casualties. During this period, the Russians heavily invested in drones, from factories to the development of fiber-optic drones, which were still produced in small quantities. By the end of 2024, a second Chinese restriction on the sale of components further complicated these transactions for both sides. Both industries were already manufacturing various components in small quantities, but still heavily dependent on Chinese imports. While the Russians expanded their intermediary networks to bypass restrictions and maintain Chinese imports, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense decided to invest in local companies to produce fiber-optic cables. Essentially, all other components continued to be imported from China via intermediaries, but strangely, several Ukrainian companies started manufacturing low-quality cables and received government funding. The result was an unprecedented superiority of Russian drones on the battlefield, while Ukrainian fiber-optic drones were produced in much smaller numbers, with limited range and low-quality fibers that broke easily. This mistake of nationalizing such a sensitive component was initiated by the Ministry and not due to Chinese restrictions, since all other components continued to be imported through intermediaries. In my view, it was a bold strategy that ultimately failed, compromising the Ukrainian advantage until that moment. You either win the war or make money. It's hard to do both. It will be a major challenge for Ukraine to regain its front-line capacity as it previously was, facing a Russian production of 500,000 fiber-optic drones annually. This significant error weakened Ukrainian defense, which was already operating with low manpower and high desertion rates, but was still adjusting and maintaining the front through the hiring of mercenaries for many months. Given the scarcity of equipment on the front line, there is doubt whether lowering recruitment age will have the desired effect to sustain the front for a long period. It would also be necessary to resolve the issue with fiber-optic drones and for Ukraine to receive another batch of equipment from 2023, which I believe is unlikely. The situation involves multiple aspects of deterioration that have persisted for a long time, continuing to impact the AFU. While financial aid is being maintained, the absence of American support with weaponry is being felt as a crucial issue.

This is probably one of the best known segments of gun camera footage depicting a B-17 interception and has been featured in countless documentaries, but the raw footage is worth examining in detail in its entirety. 0:00 As the Bf 110 pilot fires an initial burst, ineffective due to insufficient deflection, puffs smoke can be seen coming from the bomber's ventral ball and tail turrets as the gunners return fire. This fails to dissuade the attacking pilot who continues to approach his target. In the distance the main bomber formation can be seen. The combat box was no doubt an effective tactic in terms of maximizing firepower and protection, and there was a significant effort made to break up these formations, such as for example using Werfer-Granate 21 rockets. The Luftwaffe used a system of points to award decorations on the Western Front detailed below and it's worth noting that the "Herausschuss" - for example damaging a B-17 sufficiently that it would separate from the formation - is given the same value and shooting down a single-engined fighter, this gives some idea of its importance and what a challenge it was considered to be. Downing a four-engined bomber already separated from the formation was less laudable than separating it in the first place as can be seen below: - Abschuss (Destroyed) Single-engined plane destroyed: 1 point Twin-engined plane destroyed: 2 points Three-engined plane destroyed: 3 points Four-engined plane destroyed: 3 points - Herausschuss (Separation) Twin-engined plane damaged: 1 point Three- or four-engined plane damaged: 2 points - Endgueltige (Final Destruction) Final destruction of a damaged twin-engined plane: 0.5 point Final destruction of a damaged four-engined plane: 1 point For some reason, perhaps due to previous damage or mechanical trouble, this particular B-17 was unable to keep up with the rest of the squadron and has therefore found itself singled out for attack. Even as the footage starts there appears to be some damage around the top of the vertical stabilizer. 0:22 As the Bf 110 settles on the B-17's 6 o'clock, the tail gunner continues to return fire with no apparent effect. The attacking pilot also pulls the trigger and starts landing concentrated hits on the B-17 with debris flying off. This illustrates the mechanism by which the German high capacity "Minengeschoss" shells were effective. Unlike armor piercing incendiary projectiles that needed to strike critical components like engines, fuel tanks and crew members in order to being an aircraft down, these explosive shells would detonate within a few inches of penetrating the aircraft skin and blow off parts of the aircraft structure itself, either making it unflyable or tearing open fuel tanks beyond what self-sealing systems could protect against. Judging by the footage the shells are from 20mm cannon, with the high explosive rounds each containing almost 20 grams of high explosive. At the 30 second mark a shell impacts the wing outboard of the #4 engine and the size of the hole made by this single impact is clearly visible. There is a good number of strikes landing around the tail gun position but it still appears to fire briefly, then falls silent after a couple of further cannon shell impacts by about the 40 second mark. 0:53 The ventral ball turret starts to rotate with the guns pointing straight down as another burst of cannon fire hits the aircraft in the #3 engine nacelle and wing root. This is the position the ball turret would need to be in for the gunner to exit his post and enter the fuselage. It is possible that he was preparing to bail out. At the one minute mark a shell impacts the ball turret directly and blows off a panel. A small fire has also started in the trailing edge of the port wing. 1:08 Now at point blank range, the Bf 110 pilot continues to rake the bomber with cannon shells, walking his fire across the fuselage and port wing. The bombers engines appear to continue functioning and from this angle the shells would be detonating in the aircraft structure well before reaching them. As the Bf 110 closes in the damage to the B-17 becomes more apparent. The rear fuselage and starboard wing are riddled with holes and the starboard horizontal stabilizer is in tatters. The tail gunner's bullet resistant window appears to have been shattered by a direct hit. The port waist gun hangs upwards as it would if no one was holding it, although there does appear to be some movement on the starboard gun. With the attacking fighter having been able to approach to bomber at such close range with impunity, it is clear that the gunners are either dead or incapacitated. It's also worth nothing that the Bf 110's rear gunner would have been equipped with a MG 81 Z twin-barreled 7.92mm machine gun with a rate of fire of over 50 rounds per second, and he would doubtless have taken the opportunity to add to the B-17 crew's misery as his aircraft overtook the bomber. Unfortunately the exact date and location and therefore the identity of the crew involved appears to have been lost to history, but this remains one of the most harrowing gun camera clips ever filmed and a poignant illustration of the horrors young men faced in the skies over Europe during the Second World War.
