🎯⚡✅ 🇷🇺 The Armed Forces of Ukraine may retreat beyond the Dnieper: Ukraine has almost no options left, – NZZ ▪️The Swiss edition of the Neue Zürcher Zeitung admitted that Russia has moved from the tactics of attrition to achieving a strategic turning point. The offensive of Russian troops is gaining momentum, and the Kyiv regime has only two options: ➖ An organized retreat is an attempt to preserve the remnants of the army and equipment, at the cost of surrendering territories; ➖ Retreat beyond the Dnieper is an extreme measure, meaning the loss of a significant part of the Left-Bank Ukraine.

⚡✅🎯 🇮🇷 🆚 🇺🇸 What important and strategic target did Iranian missiles destroy at the Al-Udeid base in Qatar? In an unprecedented missile attack by Iran on the Al-Udeid base, one of the key targets was the AN/FPS-132 early warning radar — the "beating heart" of the US missile defense system in the region. This radar was hidden under a giant geodesic dome, but high-precision missiles with unprecedented accuracy managed to overcome this cover. This radar, with a range of over 4800 kilometers, is the first line of detection for intercontinental ballistic missiles. Its destruction or disabling means blinding the entire air defense system in the Middle East.

FPVdrone:90% might be a stretch but this is the most often understated aspect of the conflict. Iran was using very few missiles to cause devastation towards the end of the conflict. They also claimed their last drone attack was the most successful since the start of the war. They had a golden opportunity to severely punish Israel for a few more days and establish stronger deterrence, but they chose to throw it away. Iran will get punished for this blunder soon |

LordAdam16:Brother, I learned something new about Iranian missile tech. Do you know they don't use GPS guidance? Intel says they newer ones rely on AI guidance and Exo-atmospheric channeling to fly towards and hit their targets with deadly precision. That makes them extremely difficult to jam. |

Iran's intelligence have uncovered a second clandestine drone manufacturing facility in Tehran operated by Israel’s Mossad. Authorities say several individuals have been detained, and a cache of high-tech drone components has been seized. |
| Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by Appleyard(m): 9:21am On Jul 12, 2025 |
FPVdrone:This was plausible because at that point, majority of Israeli ADs were out of interceptors missiles, giving the Iranian missiles more room to impact successfully. |

⚡🇲🇱 Mali selling gold from mine seized from Canadian firm. Authorities in Mali are selling gold from a major mine seized from Canadian firm Barrick last month, with the aim of restarting operations, official sources told AFP Thursday. A court ruled in June that the western Loulo-Gounkoto mine, one of the world’s largest gold complexes, would be managed for six months by a government appointed official instead of the Toronto-based firm. No mining had taken place at Loulo-Gounkoto since January when Malian authorities seized some three tonnes of gold from the mine’s reserves. The new administrator is selling some gold stock to finance the restarting of operations, an economy ministry source told AFP.

FoolishBoy419:Iran is sooo lucky that these sleeper cells were busted on time during the war. Otherwise, the carnage they could have caused would have been unprecedented. This was what Netanyahu was banking on when he was yapping about complete control of Iranian skies and regime change in Iran. It failed, woefully. Thanks mostly to average Iranian citizens that saw some of the drones flying from their locations and trucks used as launchpads. As soon as the busting began, Israel's acclaimed air scores against targets in the country started to drop sharply. And as it got worst, they cried out for a ceasefire because, Iranian missiles strikes were doing so much damage back home while their chances of successful hits within Iran has vanished with the sleeper cells and collaborators being busted everywhere. |

Appleyard:We shall see the impact of these selective busts in subsequent round(s). As it is quite possible that Tel Aviv gave the order to cease or throttle attacks to conserve capabilities when it became obvious that the ambitious regime change operation was doomed to fail in the first round. I am of the opinion that if you do not gut the upper echelon that potentially aided these saboteurs, all they're doing is rearranging musical chairs. A double agent in counter intelligence could give up or trade these inactive factories while building new, sophisticated capabilities. The busts of factories, safe houses, and low-value agents like illegals pacifies the leadership and population. But it changes little strategically because the capability was already exposed in round one and would have had limited potency in subsequent rounds. This way Iran will always be playing catch-up. Israel with its capacity for pre-emptive strikes will retain the ability to deal spectacular blows in the first salvo. Israel also has the capacity to end the round prematurely thanks to its nuclear arsenal and US backing. Logically, Israel could systematically degrade Iran through short bursts of conflict. Israel will sustain significant damage to be fair, but since it can ask for ceasefire whenever it wants, they can avoid costlier wars of attrition. To war planners, this tradeoff is not be a deal breaker. The only way to truncate this plan is to drastically improve counter-intelligence from an F to an A- before the next round. A tall order for even the most capable of countries. I must add, though, that Iran did think fast on its feet to counter the sabotage operations during the war. Sure, they did eventually turn to asking saboteurs to turn themselves in for amnesty, which demonstrates that they were overwhelmed. Nonetheless, it was excellent on Iran's part to significant degrade a robust capability acquired over years within a few days. And while a nuclear scientist was assassinated in Tehran on the last day of the war, the volume of sabotage attacks dipped while the apprehension of agents and confiscation of munitions increased as the war progressed. In agreement with you, I also think Iran scored a big win in foiling Israeli plans for an even deadlier pager-style attack. They were prematurely gloating about their established plan(s) and how its execution would shock the world. They even gave a timeline. Then, nothing. Again, it could just mean they called off the operation when regime change operation looked like it was doomed, and they could preserved the plan for execution in subsequent rounds. For now, however, Iran has enough time to dismantle it, if they haven't already done so completely. -Lord |

FoolishBoy419:The behavior he is exhibiting there is called a defeatist mentality. The fact that he is willing to forgo reports from even pro-Israeli outlets and only focus on IDF official statements is an indicator that he is undergoing some serious levels of cope. I feel he has realized that Israel isn’t winning this war. And he is trying to console himself by wanting to block out any other news, including pro-Israeli ones, that doesn’t conform with whatever propaganda the IDF spills out. When we keep telling them that victory in war is determined by whether you achieved your objectives and not by killing civilians, you see him and his supporters bragging about how Israel has killed tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians, and whatnot. When we tell them that killing the political and military leaders of a movement has zero effect on the unit’s combat effectiveness, they will start an argument over nothing. As I have repeatedly said, the only way to defeat Hamas is for Israel to go into those tunnels and engage Hamas in close-up combat. Subterranean warfare is what they call it. Some of these tunnels go up to 70 meters underground, deeper than New York underground stations, which stop at 53 meters, so it won’t be easy. Israel should also be ready to take the large number of casualties that will come with such an operation. Anything short of fighting Hamas in the tunnel is pure gimmicks. His copium is just another evidence of the larger cracks within the Zionist movement. Even hardcore Zionists are starting to speak up against Israel’s behavior in occupied Palestine. Things have gotten so bad that countries, states, and localities in the US, EU, and the UK have to pass laws to prevent people from condemning Israel. I mean, if you have to introduce laws just to stop people from speaking up about your activities, then maybe you are the problem. |
