🇮🇱🇵🇸 Hamas militants drop ammunition from a copter onto an Israeli Namer armored personnel carrier, however, there is only a hit.

Does Hamas have helicopter? If so, why is it not visible enough for isrealis to destroy and I thought the Gaza airspace is totally controlled by isreal? Right?

I said this around June last year that his time was up and he would be replaced, but some persons still try to sound unreasonable by being argumentative.
The guy managed to have his country outproduce the usa and its around 40 allies combined in weapons production.
You don't realize how amazing a job Shoigu did. And I repeat, he was due for retirement before this war, he was specifically asked to continue as minister of defence after the war started eventhough he had already done his time and wanted out before the war.

His replacement has an amazing cv, except for someone with such a cv, anybody else would pale in comparison with Shoigu.
Nobody can keep that position forever. Shoigu's successor definately deserves his turn.

⚡Iranian lawmaker declares Tehran obtained nuclear bombs — Fox News

After the head of the United Nation’s atomic watchdog agency warned that Iran has enough uranium to produce "several" nuclear bombs, a firebrand Iranian lawmaker declared on Friday that the Islamic Republic of Iran possesses atomic weapons.

"In my opinion, we have achieved nuclear weapons, but we do not announce it. It means our policy is to possess nuclear bombs, but our declared policy is currently within the framework of the JCPOA," Ahmad Bakhshayesh Ardestani told the Iran-based outlet Rouydad 24 on Friday, according to an article published by the independent news organization Iran International in London.

⚡Ukrainian forces lost two air defense systems "Patriot" trying to intercept cheap guided bombs, said British expert Justin Bronk for "Daily Mail".

"Unfortunately, it is very difficult to defend against guided bombs, as the Russians can drop them from afar. The Ukrainians moved the Patriot systems and radar close to the front line to engage them quickly.

They lost two systems. A reconnaissance drone found them, after which they were hit by ballistic missiles," Bronk said.

1. Prigozhin was a self absorbed agent of chaos who nearly caused a civil war in his country while his country was already at war.
2. Shoigu has done an incredible job as defence minister, eventhough Shoigu wanted to resign litle before the current war, he stayed on to help his country. Now that is something.
I really wish he didn't make that silly move, went from being a Hero to a traitor real quick

honestly I think prigozin was making a good point, he want shogiu to go all out in Ukraine but shougiu is slow, Do u think any nation will endure half of what Russia has endured?
If shougiu had gone all out like prigozin wanted and turn Ukraine to Gaza this thing would have ended since


I think that's why they called it "Special Military Operation".

Nobody can keep that position forever. Shoigu's successor definitely deserves his turn.
Did you quote me because of my comment or you quote me to sound intelligent?

I'll take this one at a time.
First, explain how Shoigu, a defense minister that assumed office in 2012, was responsible for Russia's defense output in 2024. Modern Russia should be giving praises to the Soviet Russia who is responsible for a vast majority of Russia's military industrial complex we see today.

Secondly, Explain to me in accordance to the Russia's constitution, that shows Shoigu was due for retirement, because according to the Russia's constitution that I know, The Defense Minister's post does not have a term limit. Instead, the ruling president decide how long a defense minister can stay in office.

Thirdly, Please provide a link to an official Russian media outlet that claimed Shoigu was specifically asked to continue as Defense minister when the special military operation started, I'll sit back on this until you give me a legit source because everything about this particular claim of yours are speculations and nothing more.


But when it is time to give Shoigu his flowers I'll definitely give it to him for his great works especially in Syria.

But the genesis of Shoigu's relieve from duty was his failure in Ukraine.
How do you put it?
How would a country like Russia fail to decode sensitive Intels before rolling old tanks into Ukraine.
Prigozhin was a lunatic but his message was clear and that is; Shoigu was too incompetent to handle the Ukraine Saga.
It's either he lacks the idea of what's happening on the Frontlines or clear negligence from his side.
I'll still give Shoigu's his flowers, that man has been one of the great figures of modern day Russia, and has been a high ranking individual since 2000, who did his job with great honor and I like how he handled Syria but failed to live to expectations in Ukraine.
In war time, positions change hands and that's what we see in Russia and Ukraine today.

Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said Monday he was open to allowing nuclear weapons on Swedish soil in wartime, as critics call for the new NATO member to ban their deployment.

Sweden’s parliament is set to vote on a Defence Cooperation Agreement (DCA) with the United States in June which will give the US access to military bases in Sweden and allow the storage of military equipment and weapons in the Scandinavian country.

Sweden abandoned two centuries of military non-alignment to join NATO in March this year.


Calls have mounted in recent weeks, from the Swedish Peace and Arbitration Association among others, for the government to put in writing in the DCA agreement that Sweden will not allow nuclear weapons on its soil.

The government has repeatedly insisted there is no need to have a ban spelled out, citing “broad consensus on nuclear weapons” in Sweden as well as a parliamentary decision that bars nuclear weapons in Sweden in peacetime.

But Kristersson said on Monday that wartime was a different story.

“In a war situation it’s a completely different matter, (it) would depend entirely on what would happen,” he told public broadcaster Swedish Radio.


“In the absolute worst-case scenario, the democratic countries in our part of the world must ultimately be able to defend themselves against countries that could threaten us with nuclear weapons.”

He insisted that any such decision to place nuclear weapons in Sweden would be taken by Sweden, not the United States.

“Sweden decides over Swedish territory,” he said.
