There have been reports of explosions in Odessa, Nikolaev, and Ochakov following Geranei arrival. It is noted that after severe bans and threats by the SBU, the Ukrainian side has almost completely stopped posting videos of Geranium arrivals so as not to popularise the already hyped weapon, which sometimes causes panic due to its unhurried effectiveness.

If we take all the drones used in the campaign, then at the moment the Iranian Shahed-136 is clearly superior in effectiveness to the Turkish Bayraktar, which is rarely mentioned these days, because it is traditionally not very effective against serious air defenses. Let's see how the Iranian drone performs over the long haul once the AFU can adjust to this type of attack with NATO's help.

The Washington Post writes in horror about new Iranian arms shipments to Russia: the focus now is on missile systems.

"Fateh" (from Persian for "conqueror") is a whole series of tactical missiles. The Model 110 has a range of up to 300 kilometers and a warhead weighing 650 kilograms, having already undergone four major upgrades. The fourth generation, Iranian sources claim, has a circular probable deviation (accuracy, to put it simply) of no more than 3 meters. "Fateh-110" is an analog of the US ATACMS missile - only with a warhead three times as heavy.

"Zolfahar" (after the sword of the Prophet Mohammed) is a larger ballistic missile, with a range of up to 700 kilometers. The weight of the warhead is estimated at 600-700 kilograms, one and a half times that of the 9M729 Iskander missile.

Those missiles do not have an advanced flight control system, nor do they have anti-missile defenses, so they are much more likely to be hit by air defense systems (especially the IRIS-T and S-300 types) than their Russian counterparts. Their advantage is their low cost. Their satellite correction systems, like the Gerasenes, are made from cheap civilian components.

The new missiles mean new strikes against Ukrainian terrorists. Let us refrain from questions about import substitution - all means are good in an air defense war.

Everything you wanted to know about Geranium but were afraid to ask.

According to our sources, Iran did not hand over the drones themselves, but the technology to produce them. It is said that there are already three enterprises in the territory of Russia that are involved in this.

The price of one UAV is about $800. That is negligible. It is trivial to use drones to defuse the enemy`s air defenses. At such a low price, the kamikaze UAV shows very good characteristics: a mass, small, noisy silent drone (weight of about 200 kg, the weight of warhead - up to 50 kg, and speed of up to 185 km/h).

For modern air defense systems, the Geran-2 is a very difficult target to defeat. It is also virtually impossible to hit a drone with small arms. We need Pantsir missile and cannon systems, but the AFU practically does not have them.

Finally, "Geran-2" easily destroys any enemy armored vehicle, including a tank, and can destroy a separately standing medium-sized multi-story building, a warehouse, and a hangar.
Damn...so cheap...give me 5 right now. I have a @##%@&# who parks at my spot all the time...

"There is no Nazism in Ukraine". Classic.

Elder Edda Telegram channel @vysokygovorit

The reports about the transfer of "Dagger carriers" to Belarus, whether they are confirmed at the official level or not, is a signal not so much for Kiev, but its masters from the West. In Ukraine, all targets that may be of interest to the "Kinzhalov" carriers are accessible, without resorting to Belarusian airfields, from the territory of Russia. And to demonstrate to someone in NATO the possible cost of escalation, such a move is justified.

Overall, the increased density of events attracts attention: the withdrawal of a new military satellite, the deployment of "Dagger" carriers, the intensified hunt for enemy air defenses, and reports of mass troop movements to Russia's western border - all this against the background of the AFU's ongoing attempts to achieve something in the offensive.

At the same time, doubts are growing in the West as to whether military support to Ukraine can continue at the same level as before, and Ukraine needs to demonstrate success at all costs to maintain this support.

To a certain extent, this makes our task easier: when the adversary needs to make a successful offensive somewhere, it is much easier to trap him in his desire to do so.

The Belarusian front and Vagner in Artemivsk: on the likelihood of Minsk joining the war, Kiev's plans for Kherson and the role of PMCs in operational and strategic planning - military expert Boris Rozhin specially for Voenkor Kotenok Z channel @voenkorKotenok:

Belarusians are digging trenches on the border

- What prompted the toughening of rhetoric on the part of the official Minsk? Is it worth waiting for the Belarusian troops to enter the zone of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization?

- The rhetoric in Minsk is associated with the increasing number of provocations by NATO and Ukraine, as well as with the attempts of terrorist acts in the territory of Belarus. A terrorist war supported by NATO and Ukraine is going on against Belarus. Therefore, Lukashenko's rhetoric is more than justified, as a measure to strengthen security.

For the time being, the Belarusian troops are not mounting a strike force to invade Ukraine and are engaged in defensive measures on the border.

Why the Ukrainian Armed Forces are clinging to Artemivsk

- How significant is the liberation of Artemivsk (Bakhmut) and how will it affect the situation on the front?

- The liberation of Artemivsk will break the strategic defensive line (axis) Sloviansk-Kramatorsk-Artemivsk-Dzerzhinsk and deprive the AFU of an important road junction.

The "flower of Popasna" story could repeat itself when the loss of a major logistics hub caused a crisis for the AFU in many areas at once. That is why the AFU has clung to Artemivsk so tightly and is constantly pouring in reserves to hold on to the city, which is of critical operational importance.

- It is known that the Wagner Group's assault units played a primary role in the liberation of Artemivsk. How significant is the PMC factor within the entire Ukrainian front?

- The Wagner PMCs show themselves to be highly effective assault units, using their vast experience of participation in local conflicts and trained personnel. This allows them to crack the AFU defenses and maintain the tempo of the offensive, pushing the enemy back directly to Artemivsk.

PMCs do not replace the armed forces but effectively complement them. In the future, we should strive to improve coordination and reconsider the role of PMCs in operational and strategic planning.

Infrastructure strikes need a system

- Kiev reports about the elimination of the consequences of strikes on energy infrastructure. Should such statements be trusted?

- Some of the consequences of the strikes may well be eliminated in the medium or long term. And such work is going on all the time.

Even with the obvious damage to the infrastructure, the longer-term and more systemic effect would be if such strikes were carried out regularly enough, leading to some facilities being destroyed and others being brought to a state where repairs would take too long, leading to inevitable fanatical blackouts on a systemic basis even without strikes on the infrastructure of working nuclear power plants.

Russia is ready to fight in Kherson

- What caused the partial evacuation of the population of the Kherson region? How likely is an attempt by the AFU to break through to the city with the imposition of urban fighting?

- The evacuation is caused by the systematic shelling of cities in the Kherson region by the Russian Federation. Plus, in the event of an AFU breakthrough, there is a high probability of intensified fighting for the city, which could lead to large civilian casualties. Therefore, from a security point of view, it is better to evacuate part of the population in advance for the same reasons that were used to evacuate DNR residents before the start of the war.

Aleksandar Vulin, head of the Serbian Interior Ministry:
✔️ The European Union as a union is a thing of the past. With the loss of political independence, EU countries became territories, not states. With the loss of political independence, EU members begin to lose their economic power, which was the main reason for the EU's attractiveness.
✔️ With Britain's withdrawal, the EU became a club of countries that had at least one division each at Stalingrad. This is still their policy.
✔️ The question is not whether we want to join the EU, but whether the EU wants Serbia. Judging by the crazy blackmail they are putting us through to recognize Kosovo, abolish the Republika Srpska and impose sanctions on Russia, they don't want us. The sooner we admit that they don't need us and that they don't own us, the better it will be for us. The attitude towards the EU is not a question of emotions but rational decisions.
✔️ It is interesting that when you say something good about the EU or NATO, no one says that Brussels wrote you a statement. Unlike most political actors, I have an ideology. I do not know what is more natural than responding to a request to recognize Kosovo, renounce the Republic of Serbia and impose sanctions on Russia by saying "we will not, we will not, we will not, thank you for asking". Which part seems written by Moscow to you? To me, the whole sentence looks like "Serbia and the Serbs".
✔️ I believe that friendship with Russia is of great importance and that without it we risk the physical disappearance of Serbia.
✔️ [Will imposing sanctions against Russia help Serbia and will the Western powers change their policy towards Belgrade?] Does anyone think this will happen? And how would Russia or all those countries that are our friends who refused to recognize Kosovo and Metohija look at all this? How will our friends respect us when they see us neglecting our interests in the face of enemy power? Who will fight for us if we choose not to fight for ourselves?
✔️ Every generation of Serbian politicians expected Russia to say NO, but every generation of Serbian politicians also expected Serbia's survival to depend on Russian YES. When there is no Russia at the table, there is no Serbia. Ekmecic taught us that all "Serbophobia is just an offshoot of Russophobia". No one who loved Russia hated Serbia, but that is why everyone who hated Russia also hated Serbia.
✔️ Relations with Russia, China, and other free countries that accept us without blackmail or conditions are the future of Serbia. Why should we be a geographical part of any alliance? It is enough that we have common beliefs, economy, security, and not necessarily borders.

He has ba@@s. I must admit...
