📹 Russian President Vladimir Putin called the victory in the Great Patriotic War a triumph of the Soviet people.

"Perhaps, first and foremost, of the Russian people, because, if you look at the number of losses, Russia, as part of the Soviet Union, which was then called the RSFSR, the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, suffered about 70% of the total losses, 69% something, almost 70%," Putin said, speaking at the Znanie (Knowledge) educational marathon.

🚨🇷🇺🔥BOMBSHELL: Russia's FSB just released previously classified files on Hitler's suicide.

The documents reveal the never-before-seen testimony of Heinz Linge, Hitler's valet, who was present in the Fuhrerbunker in April 1945 when the Nazi leader took his own life. His account provides an unprecedented look into the final moments of the Fuhrer’s life.

🔸In grip of fever: A spate of factors triggered Hitler’s suicide: “realization of the fact that it was completely pointless to continue the fight, fear of breaking out of Berlin, and his poor physical condition,” according to Linge.

🔸False pride: Hitler took his own life not least because of “megalomania, which prevented him from bowing before the winner and sitting for talks with Red Army command.”

🔸‘Incinerate me or else’: The Fuhrer “strictly ordered that his body be cremated, as he feared that it might be transported to Moscow, where it could be put on display.”

🔸Doppelganger or not?: Hitler's purported doppelganger “could not commit suicide because he did not exist and also because it was impossible for Hitler to leave the Fuhrerbunker as there was only one exit from it.”

🔸End of Fuhrer: Hitler committed suicide on April 30, 1945, as Soviet troops entered the heart of Nazi Germany’s capital. Shortly after, Red Army soldiers recovered his burnt remains, which were identified through dental records.

🇰🇵🪖💥North Korean Army REVOLUTION

Portrayed as "backward" by Western media, North Korea's military is becoming one of the most advanced. The liberation of the Kursk region gave them another boost. Here’s how DPRK troops are mastering modern warfare:

🔹Drone revolution: The use of drones in the Ukraine conflict signals a major shift in military tactics and technology. North Korean troops have learned to use FPV drones and quickly began using them under Russian guidance.

🔹Combat coordination: A great example of coordination came from the North Koreans, working in tandem with Russian drone operators and artillery in December. In just three hours, they drove Ukrainian forces out of Plekhovо, cleared the area, and pushed on toward Guevo.

🔹Small assault units trick: The Ukrainian conflict showed the futility of large-scale assaults in modern warfare.
North Korean commanders quickly adapted, shifting to smaller assault units, which proved highly efficient.

🔹Operational planning: Mastering new tactical skills is not enough; operational planning and coordination skills are also essential, Nikolai Kostikin, an expert at the Bureau of Military-Political Analysis, tells Sputnik. Russia's expertise will help North Koreans, he says.

🔹New military elite: The average age of DPRK soldiers arriving in Russia is 23–27. This group forms a new tier of military professionals who, after gaining experience, will help modernize North Korea's army, Elizaveta Pivorovich, "ArBat" war correspondent tells Sputnik.

🔹Eager to learn: North Korean soldiers are well-prepared, highly motivated and eager to learn, Pivorovich stresses. The Kursk op made them smarter, tougher and battle-hardened.

🔹Overcoming language barriers: Easier than imagined. The Russian military learned to issue directives in Korean.
North Korean soldiers studied Russian. They had a common phrasebook with 20-25 words. That was enough at the initial stage, Russian officers say.

🔹AI to boost education: To speed up education of North Korean officers, the Russian military specialists could use artificial intelligence, Kostikin says. Chairman Kim Jong-un has recently named developing AI and unmanned technology a top priority for his military.

🚨🤔 Can you win a war with DRONES alone?

As Trump threatens to stop the money flow, Zelensky has doubled down on drone warfare. Can Ukraine survive as a ONE TRICK PONY?

"It is a particularly flawed strategy because Russia not only has large amounts of traditional military equipment, it is also about to make and field thousands of drones daily," former Marine Brian Berletic tells Sputnik.

Ukraine is turning to drones to substitute medium-range missiles, artillery, and other munitions as Western military aid fades, driven by Trump’s ceasefire push and depleted NATO stockpiles.

"Russia’s use of counter drone capabilities including methods of jamming, locating, and striking at drone operators" would curb Ukraine's unmanned prowess, according to Berletic.

A fully-fledged drone war with Russia "will require greater levels of training and experience" and more UAV operators. "Ukraine is unable to provide large numbers of troops - as is the problem across all of Ukraine’s military manpower."

🇺🇸🏭 Making manufacturing great again? Trump’s tariffs DAMPEN the task

Pumping billions of dollars in building new American plants – from car factories to aluminum smelters - is now TOO RISKY, the Financial Times reports.

“It will take between three and 10 years in most cases to build a new manufacturing facility in the US,” the FT cites Erin McLaughlin, an economist at the Economy, Strategy & Finance Center think tank, as saying.

Trump has repeatedly railed against the loss of America’s manufacturing prowess, insisting that the construction of more plants will add to tackling a decline in the sector.

He singled out US steel workers, auto workers, and skilled craftsmen, who “watched in anguish as foreign leaders have stolen our [American] jobs, foreign cheaters have ransacked our factories.”
