⚡In the Novopavlivka direction, Russian forces achieved a localised breakthrough, and advanced west towards the border with Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.

Russian forces advanced down the treelines and through the orchards, capturing positions there. They also captured the perpendicular treelines, as well as a small grove. From there, Russian forces advanced further west down a treeline, reaching the intersection with three other treelines, one of which leads north to the village of Kotlyarivka. Most of these captured positions are on the tactical heights.

A Russian armoured column then broke through to the low-lying ground and got within 3.1km of the border with Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, although it is unclear whether or not positions were captured there.

The harrier and yak 141 use very different vertical lift systems. They are not the same. It is the f35 and yak 141 that are the same.

Lockheed Martins purchased the plans to the yak 141 and then went on to use it to build the f35.
the harrier use short take off plus it has extra turbo fan tho it can land vertically

It is official, Japan has been designated as the new Ukraine. Japan will be dumping its pacifist nature, to a warmongering nation that will be developing air to air missiles.

Missiles to fight who? to Fight China of course.

The Japanese will be giving China a jackpot to seek revenge for the Nanjing massacre, and I bet China will NEVER let this opportunity slip away.

Europe has a meltdown when China sends a ship somewhat near the Philippines and calls China a threat and militant readying to take over the world

When Pres. Trump calls openly for the annexation of Greenland, Europe is strangely silent and the worst that he called it in front of NATO secretary.

European leaders have to be the worst, most hypocritical leaders who betray their own people and only call for war against people of different ethnicities that they consider inferior
Now, people know why Russia stopped rating them
No wonder all the biggest wars start in Europe.

Interesting announcement considering Trump plans to raise tariffs on imported cars, some of which come from Japan and by Japanese automakers in Mexico and Canada. Also, this announcement comes a day after the signing of a pact to strengthen trade amongst East Asian biggest economies (China, Japan and South Korea). The other interesting thing is that for almost one week, Nikkei Asia has been publishing articles about the population of Chinese residents/immigrants in Japan: their numbers, where they congregate the most, dominance in obtaining research funding (most PhD students in Japan are Chinese) and the influx of them into Japan.

That said, with this new agreement by the US and Japan, it further makes my prediction of a war in East Asia before or by the end of this decade come closer. Well well well. Let's see how it goes.

https://asia.nikkei.com/Spotlight/Chinese-in-Japan/Just-like-in-China-Chinatowns-proliferate-across-Japan

On a more curious and serious note, this agreement by Japan with the US makes no sense to me considering China, not the US, is Japan's biggest trading partner and the cultural, facial, historical and linguistic ties both countries share.

The biggest mumus in all of this are Africans who criticise China and Russia. They don't concern themselves with the bare-faced hypocrisy this war has exposed. Imagine the EU buying $1BN+ worth of crude from Russia but say African countries should not trade with Russia. But our people dey jubilate yen yen yen. Thank God countries like India and Vietnam don't bother themselves with such rants.

It's great to see Japan stepping up,.. I'm happy to see Japan moving towards massive militarization.. The US should facilitate the removal of restrictions in the Japanese Constitution, which place limitations on her military and the type of offensive capabilities she possess, this will pave the way for the japs to tilt towards the process of massive rearmament.

Trump ascendancy to power and his rally cry for allies to step up, coupled with the belligerence of China and "Rocket man's" provocations. All this are the perfect combo for the old guard of Japanese "war hawks" to call for massive militarization.. Japan needs a full "Meiji era" for it to get to her full military potential.

Imagine the US having an ally like the Imperial Japanese Empire in Asia. This will provide a formidable counterweight to China rise in the Asian continent.

Kudos to prime minister Shigeru Ishiba and his team👏👏

P.s. The same scenario should apply to Germany. They should also start the process of massive militarization and rearmament.. The biggest and largest economy in Europe shouldn't be waiting for military assurances from across the Atlantic. She should take the bull by the horn and start acting like the true leader of Europe that she is.

Imagine that during the Annexation of Greenland, all of their F-35s start falling from the sky or don't start!
U.S. allies are rethinking their F-35 fighter jet purchases amid concerns over Trump's "kill switch" rumours.
Over 1,000 F-35s are in operation across 20 countries, but geopolitical uncertainty raises doubts. Portugal, Canada, and Germany are reconsidering cancelling their purchases.
When the former Yugoslavia countries were attacked by the US, suddenly their air defenses stopped working.
Guess who sold those air defense systems? NATO members

On Sunday at 12:30 PM, the much-anticipated “Spectrum” rocket successfully launched from Norway’s Andøya Spaceport, marking a major milestone for the Bavarian startup Isar Aerospace.

But just seconds later, the excitement turned to disappointment as the test flight came to a sudden and dramatic end.

⚡Zelensky Reportedly Preparing for Second Term Bid.

Serious preparations are underway for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to run for a second term.

Zelensky reportedly held a meeting last week, instructing his team to prepare for elections following a full ceasefire.

The first public signal could come around May 5, tied to a parliamentary vote on extending martial law, which expires May 8. Ending martial law would be the first step toward elections.

Sources say the vote is likely planned for early July. Zelensky may aim to catch opponents off guard with a summer election and a short campaign window.

⚡Isar Aerospace Rocket Fails Seconds After Liftoff.

German startup Isar Aerospace’s Spectrum rocket failed on its debut launch today.

The vehicle lifted off from Norway’s Andøya Spaceport but suffered a critical vector control issue about 18 seconds into flight, causing engine shutdown and an explosion roughly 40 seconds after liftoff.

Despite the failure, Isar called the mission a “valuable data-gathering step” toward future launches and confirmed its commitment to upcoming missions, including contracts with the Norwegian Space Agency.

Ricchmoen:
the design and the engineering is from the Russian
Look at how the American and British design theirs before the yak 141
They had extra crusters or the plane is literally Standing vertically..
Nb::They didn't land vertically
😂😂😂 that means the Russia copied the British for the yak 141.

But let me agree to disagree

I doubt that's the reason those countries are pulling out of the F 35 program.

I'm not sure you've heard about FCAS

The Future Combat Air System (FCAS), developed in Europe, is intended to be a 6th-generation fighter jet, building upon the foundation of 5th-generation aircraft with a "system-of-systems" approach, including loyal wingmen drones and AI-driven capabilities.

The F 35 is old ( made in the 90s) and yet still very expensive, also there are lots of countries still waiting for their F 35 to be delivered, they all might not get it delivered until 2040.

That's the same time it'll take for the FCAS to go into mass production.

Why wait for a 5th generation fighter jet when you can wait the same time duration to get a 6th Gen ?

Disclaimer: This is not an attempt to de-market the F 35, it remains a very formidable aircraft.

The US was deeply involved in Ukraine’s military ops against Russia" — NYT

Early 2022: A Ukraine-US coordination HQ pops up in Wiesbaden. Americans planned, gave coordinates—Ukraine struck.
Mid-2023: Tensions flare. Zelensky backs Syrsky’s push for Artemovsk (Bakhmut), while the US urged a Melitopol offensive. Result? No breakthrough—just a slow crawl through a few villages. Only 7 of 12 brigades went south; the rest chased Artemovsk.

Biden saw the plan tanking and started lifting limits. The US greenlit strikes inside Russia, setting an "operational zone" up to 80 km deep.
August 2023: Ukraine launches the Kursk op without US approval, breaking the "zone" rules.

Fall 2024: Russia storms Pokrovsk. The US begs Ukraine to lower the draft age—Zelensky says no.
Post-Trump win, panic peaks: Biden drops all restrictions, okays missile strikes on Russia.

Bro, you almost sounded like you were proud of the the imperial Japanese army and the Nazi's Wehrmacht.


The time you referenced in history had far-reaching consequences that depicted the expansionist tendencies of both countries and the most genocide committed on a scale ever recorded.

I'm thinking you forgot the part where both countries unconditionally surrendered and agreed to be partially demilitarized.

If both countries aren't US allies, I doubt you would support they go back to their day of massive militarization.

I doubt if the two countries aren't US allies, anyone in good conscience would allow them produce a pistol not to talk of a missile.
