These weapons were discovered in a school in Gaza a few days ago ; a place meant for learning, not terror.

Once again, Hamas weaponizes civilian infrastructure, turning schools meant to protect children into tools of terror.

I really think you guys should stop the "before Oct 7" nonsense.....it is funny and full of lies

Israel has always been attacking Gaza. It routinely launches bombing campaigns and ground raids into Gaza, and has conducted major operations involving large-scale ground invasions, artillery, and airstrikes in 2008, 2009, 2012, 2014, 2021, and 2023......Mr shoodboi2, you know this are lies and propagandas. Even if you are doing copy and paste, try to fact check what you are copy and paste ooo

I'm a lover of masculinity and thus admire men like Trump, Putin, Xi, Netanyahu, MBS, Zelensky, Orban etc.
I mean their personality not leadership styles nor policies.
These are men with balls, not woke people like Biden, Starmer, Obama, Macron, Lapid, Petrov, etc
Accusing me of being Pro Russia or Pro West is a shallow move.
Napoleon, Roosevelt, Nixon, Khomenei, Mao, Castro, Gurion, de Gaul, Mandela, Sankara, Obasonjo, Ojukwu and Abacha are some of my most admired personalities in history. Including women like Golda Meir and Thatcher...
You are a man! These leaders are men ...unlike in Nigeria we have Jonathan ..he was too weak! Eve. This one now seff...

Just like Nigeria couldn't win Biafra , it is rare to come to your enemies village and win them...unless they aren't populated that's why they did NO VICTOR NO VANQUISH

Peer pressure can be very harmful to one's interests.

They were enjoying their strategic neutrality like Austria but decided to give it up for flimsy reasons.

The Eurozone is stuck in a death spiral.
No cheap energy. Expensive welfarism. And now they want to waste their scarce resources on wunderwaffe like the Patriots with 6% interception rate.

-Lord
The Euro zone as we know it is a dead zone breathing on life support.

Finland will learn the hard way.

As for the now useless Patriot, picture Russia giving those modified missiles to resistance forces.

The most stupid of all israeli propaganda threads made it to frontpage and I'm not even surprised

The thread claims that the Sumud flotilla had no aid in it. That might have been believable, had the occupants of the said flotilla not documented the journey every step of the way

The people in the flotilla literally recorded the journey and broadcast to the world from inception to interception. They showed the aid they had taken to deliver to Gaza and even documented their daily routine aboard

It's clear that israeli propaganda(hasbara) relies on the stupidity and ignorance of its targets

As for israel claiming there's no aid onboard, it's in keeping with their scum selves to deny the existence of aid, since they've been starving Gaza of aid all along

I personally follow an Irish comedian Tadhg Hickey on YouTube and he was aboard the flotilla. He had personally documented their journey and shown all the supplies they were carrying. He's among those detained by the war criminals
The people who were once victim of a genocide are now the perpetrators.

History has a way of flipping the script.

Artillery Stats Update:

I can confirm with every atom of certainty that Russia and Ukraine are now firing artillery at one to one ratio.

Russia was initially firing approximately 60,000 shells a day even when 10,000 was unsustainable. They intended to end the war very fast but didn't do their homework on Ukraine's resilience.

With almost half of Russia's refineries hit and exports falling sharply amid shortages in Russia itself, Russia's industrial military complex is fast collapsing.

🇺🇦 In Ukraine, after widespread publicity, the "mobilized" cat was returned to its owners - Strana.

According to one version, the son of a TCC employee asked to get a cat. His father, along with a fellow serviceman, went to a shelter for a kitten but, being drunk, stole a cat that was walking in the street.

[b]💬Another modification of the Lancet💬

Another modification of the Lancet loitering munition with the PTM-3 anti-tank mine has appeared.

▪️On the one hand, the introduction of strike Lancet variants appears to expand the combat potential for various missions.

What's interesting about the PTM-3 is how it was adapted for the Lancet. Most likely, the mine's electromagnetic fuse was removed, and the drone will explode upon impact. Moreover, the explosive part will work in all directions, which is very convenient, but again, this is the engineer's personal initiative; it's certainly more interesting than an ATGM when the warhead is used.

▪️However, with all these innovations, the Lancet's primary purpose is forgotten. What was it designed for? Initially, it was intended for counter-battery warfare, destroying radars and guns.

And now Lancets are even used for attacks on infantry, although it would seem, given the advent of FPV drones, which are effective against infantry, that using the more powerful Lancet is impractical. For example, tanks and armored fighting vehicles, Lancets have been modified with a KZ-6 shaped-charge warhead for armor penetration (and this is a truly excellent modification).

✍️Our X-wings have proven to be an extremely effective and powerful weapon. Their speed and combination with reconnaissance UAVs have allowed us to create a serious weapon, and it must be used accordingly. The PTM-3 version has not yet been combat-tested, so we'll judge it once we've tested it ourselves.

⚡There is a patriot battery operating in Lviv, but its not very effective as the missiles are actively using countermeasures. Additionally, the number of missiles detected on radars is smaller than reality as some are flying in tight groups, and are showing up as a single target. Approximately 16 Kh-101s have impacted in Lviv so far.
Experience is the best teacher. I hope Russia has transfered a few of them to Iran for testing against THAAD.

I told you right from the onset that civilians would inevitably die in urban warfare and I do not celebrate that reality. Russia is weakening logistics and energy infrastructure in Ukraine and unfortunately, civilian trains could be used for military purposes. Of course there is also a chance that those were proportionate counter-value strikes in response to what Ukraine did in Russia recently.

Why aren't you talking about the other targets though?
That begs the question!! if civilians deaths are "inevitable" as you have rightly said, especially in an urban setting.


How come there's outrage in the thread over "ineluctable" civilians deaths in Gaza while also factoring that the war being fought is an asymmetric warfare also in an urban setting

Have you talked about the IDF other strikes that have successfully neutralize terrorist targets without incurring civilian casualties??

The present crop of European leaders are some of the dumest, I won't lie. European leaders of the late 1800s and throughout the 1900s were super smart. That is why Britain could colonise 1/4 of humanity and Germany could single handedly start World War, while France ruled much of Africa. Spain and Portugal ruled South America and the Caribbean like their personal property.

Today, with woke and weak leaders like Starmer, Macron and German ex Chancellor Scholz, Europe is a shadow of itself. The above three are the worst their countries have seen in modern times. Boris Johnson, Cameron, Le Pen and Angela Merkel, would have done better than those three woke beings ruling Europe's most powerful countries.
As for the Baltic states, don't blame them bro. They've always been weak and absolutly indecisive concerning their welfare. They are torn between Great Russia and US led Western bloc. Don't blame them. If Macron, Starmer and Merz declare peace and restoration of relations with Russia today, those Baltic states will change mouth instantly. Russia understands this, hence, Putin has not even bothered to look their direction. You think Finland or Sweden can give Putin sleepless nights?
The US pulled a dirty but solidly clever economic sabotage on the EU, a major competitor, and the painful part is that, it got the EU to do it.

In just the first year of the war in Ukraine the lights started to go out across Europe as the consequences of cutting off Russian trade and gas began to kick in. The end of cheap Russian energy imports was disastrous, causing an energy crisis but that quickly spilled over into Europe’s economy as the biggest chemical and metallurgical plants ceased to be economically viable and were shuttered. “De-industrialisation” has become the buzzword today. While Europe's loss of economic competitive edge did not begin with the Russian invasion (the problem has been long and well entrenched,) the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the sanctions aftermath puts the nails on the coffin.

Two years ago, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen tasked former Italian Prime Minister and ex-European Central Bank boss Mario Draghi to compile a report on Europe’s competitiveness, which was released September, 2024.

Its conclusions was a bombshell.

Long story short.

Germany, which has been Europe's economic engine room, is now the weakest economy in the G7.

European productivity, which was previously 95% of the US, has seen decline. Today, is less than 80% and keeps falling.

The US and China are now the preferred markets for global financing on tech frontiers that drives future growth; Europe gets only the crumbs.

The downhill spiral list is almost endless. And I don't have all day to kill.

But the reality for Europe, and to an extent, for the US, gets even more pathetic when you realize that, the attempt to 'punish' Russia, out of a myopic and emotionally laden geopolitical view, has not only boomerang on themselves, but has further empowers rival and emerging competitors.


China, whose economy is already growing like a weed on steroid, is now the world's most powerful manufacturing country. Here is a tip.

China's shipbuilding capacity alone is 232 times greater than the US.

The gap between it and Europe has now increased to more than 150 times; thanks to cheap energy that has further boosted that massive capacity. Japan, South Korea complete the list for Asian Pacific markets dominating the shipbuilding sector, leaving Europe and the US trailing miles behind.

If you're a keen geopolitical observer, you will understand how significant and strategic this advantage is. This capacity advantage was what the US brought into WW 2. The ability to mass manufacture ships faster than nazi U-boats could destroy them. Today, the pendulum have swung

China now has that capacity.

We all know what that means in a war time.

To sum up the disaster for Europe, Russia whom they seek to punish is now the manufacturer powerhouse in Europe, beating even Germany. Investment is now pouring into all these facilities as both Russian and China prepare for a possible global war.

No doubt, the sanctions have cost Russia a lot of money, and probably cause it to see long-term stagnation, but it is currently flourishing and one of the fastest growing major economies in the world. Things are going so well that a new war middle class has emerged in Russia who are enjoying a period of unprecedented prosperity.

As for Europe, the reverse is the case.

There is no substitute for 'cheap' in the global world of energy and manufacturing.

But European stupidity did not take this to heart.

Good move. They must make US involvement as unattractive as possible now. Netanyahu will be banking on American cavalry again should his second decapitation strike fail because Israel doesnt have the firepower to beat Iran in a war of attrition. Two months of taking 10-40 randomly timed salvos should drive sense back into their heads.

Another attack would prove Iran as the rational party and nobody within or outside the cpuntry would bat an eye if they decide to ignore ceasefire calls.

They also need to get some nukes if they want to unchain themselves from this proportionality B.S. Iran has the means to fire hundreds of missiles per wave but they have to avoid justifying a nuclear strike on their land. That true promise shall remain a lie if they don't safeguard themselves with MAD.
They must also have an answer for the Azerbaijan question.

The head of the Iranian border unit publicly acknowledged the flight of drones from third parties during the 12D conflict.
He didn't name drop the countries.
I'm sure some were launched from US-controlled areas in Iraq and Syria.
But it is the first confirmation by an Iranian honcho about Azeri belligerence during the war.

Station 40K troops on the border.
Respond to every drone infiltration from Azerbaijan with 3 Iranian drones.
If it doesn't cease after a week, launch an SMO with the stated goal of establishing a buffer zone.

But the mullahs are a peculiar case, so who knows how they'll respond to repeat violations from Azerbaijan.

Reuters reports that up to 5,000 Cubans are fighting in Ukraine on the side of Russia. Citing an internal U.S. State Department cable, the agency writes that Cuba is the second-largest source of foreign troops in the Russian army after North Korea. According to various estimates, between 1,000 and 5,000 Cubans are fighting against Ukraine.

First North Korea, now Cuba. But it is Russia that is fighting the whole world......
