Better World: Ancient Apex Predator Likely Migrated to South Africa From Russia to Survive

🌍 Unlike the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs some 66 million years ago, the Permian–Triassic extinction event of 252 million years ago took place over a long period of time, with species dying off one by one as the situation grew worse.

Fossils of a tiger-sized, saber-toothed mammal precursor known as Inostrancevia discovered in South Africa by the international team of paleontologists offer a glimpse into the drama of an apex predator that migrated halfway around the globe over several generations in a last-ditch effort to live.

Australia allocates $15 million for Quad Leaders' Meeting

The Quad Leaders' Meeting, originally scheduled to take place in Sydney, was preponed after US President Biden cut short his visit. Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong disclosed that around $15 million was allocated for the summit in the federal budget.

⚡️ Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valeriy Zaluzhny received a head injury and shrapnel wounds during a Russian missile strike near Kherson in early May, a military source told Sputnik.

It is reported that Zaluzhny underwent a craniotomy and he will not be able to continue his service.

The Russian armed forces destroy about 10,000 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles every month, or more than 300 drones per day

A new report, revealed by the UK's Royal United Services Institute (RASI), called electronic warfare a "critical component" of Russia's tactics, which the RASI said adds to “the staggering losses” of Ukrainian UAVs.

According to the survey, Russia maintains “a major electronic-warfare system roughly every 6 miles (9.6 km)” along the conflict's approximately 750 mile (1,207 km) front line.

“Sophisticated Russian systems such as the Shipovnik-Aero jamming station are hard to detect and can imitate other signals,” the RASI pointed out.

The station, the report added, also has an advanced array of effects for downing the Ukrainian drones, including interfering with their navigational systems.

The survey comes after a UK magazine quoted an unnamed Ukrainian defense industry source as saying that Russia “performs black magic” when it comes to its anti-drone defense systems.
