⚡The IRGC is brokering talks between Russia and the Houthis to supply the latter with P-800 Yakhont supersonic anti-ship cruise missiles.

Yakhont is the export variant of Onyx, and is already in service with Hezbollah. It is unclear if the deal would just be for missiles, or complete K-300P Bastion-P coastal missile batteries with Predel-E over the horizon radars.

Even the missiles alone would be a significant enhancement of the Houthis' anti-ship capabilities, and would threaten US warships.

P-800 (3M55) [NATO: SS-N-26 Strobile] is a capable missile, with a secondary land strike capability, that has been used extensively by Russia to target the Ukrainian port city of Odesa.

I think you are wrong here. Am not doubting Russia's past credibility; but I doubt their capabilities and credibility as of today. That was my point.
If anything their capabilities have increased times ten.

4000 drones per day. Russia Defense industry produces more weapons than the US + NATO combined. US President, generals, defense and military leaders say it everyday.

There's a reason Russia is feared by the west. They produce weapons like they produce cigarettes.

⚡The State Duma has begun considering a bill to ban the ideology of childlessness and the "childfree" movement — they will be punished with administrative penalties and fines for propaganda from ₽400 thousand to ₽5 million.

The State Duma has begun considering the issue of banning the ideology of childlessness and the "childfree" movement. Russia will fight the dissemination of information that popularizes childlessness and replaces traditional values. The ban on "childfree" propaganda will affect such resources as the Internet, media, cinema and advertising.


An administrative penalty will be imposed for promoting childlessness. Also, the fine for violating the law will be up to ₽400 thousand for individuals, up to ₽800 thousand for officials and up to ₽5 million for legal entities. Calls for "childfree" from foreign citizens, including via the Internet, will threaten deportation from the Russian Federation.

According to the results of the first half of 2024, the birth rate in Russia fell to a historical minimum. During this time, 599.6 thousand children were born in the Russian Federation - 16.6 thousand less than in the same period of 2023.

⚡India always had positive experience with Russia - Prime Minister Jaishankar

Recalling the 1971 India-Pakistan war Jaishankar said, "we actually had a 40-year period where the West was primarily arming Pakistan, and we turned to the Soviet Union as a military partner."

How Russia/USSR Helped India in 1971 War Against Pakistan:

In December 1971, the US sent warships to the Bay of Bengal to threaten India on Pakistan’s behalf.

However, the Soviet Union responded by sending nuclear-armed submarines and destroyers to confront the US Navy.

In the end, the US was forced to backdown.

⚡Russia Moves Africa Into Space:

A breakaway West African bloc consisting of Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso is collaborating with Russia to launch at least two satellites, as confirmed in an official statement on Tuesday.

The project was discussed in Bamako, Mali’s capital, by Col. Assimi Goita, Mali’s president and chair of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), and Ilya Tarasenko, head of Glavkosmos, along with officials from Niger and Burkina Faso.

This initiative is intended to address the challenges of sovereignty, security, and development in the region. The AES was formed last September as a united front by the three countries under military regimes.

⚡Türkiye categorically denies rumors of S-400 transfer to United States for F-35 jets.

Turkish officials have unequivocally refuted claims suggesting that Türkiye would consider transferring or relinquishing control of its S-400 missile defense systems to the United States.

Sources close to the matter, speaking on condition of anonymity, emphatically stated to reporters, "Any transfer, waiver or sale of the S-400 is not on our agenda. Such a proposal is irrational. The claims of the Greek media are untrue."


Corroborating this position, Akif Cagatay Kilic, Senior Advisor to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Foreign Policy and Security, addressed the issue directly.

"Our stance on the F-35 is clear. Our position on the delivery of a defence industry product that we have paid for is in question," Kilic asserted, alluding to the ongoing dispute between Türkiye and the United States regarding the F-35 fighter jet program.

Kilic, in a thinly veiled criticism of the source of the rumors, added with a touch of sarcasm, "You should ask the Greek press," implying that the reports lacked credibility and might be driven by ulterior motives.

⚡China conducted a test launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), likely a DF-41, with about 12,000 km travel distance.

DF-41 is China's longest-range missile, capable of reaching speeds of up to Mach 25.

It is designed to carry up to 10 nuclear warheads.

The missile was launched from Hainan. It targeted an area near the French Polynesian islands in the South Pacific.
This is very significant.

The last time China launched an ICBM at full range was was the launch of the DF-5 missile in May 1980.

44 years ago.

Russia wey dey find drone still dey look satellite, abi na advanced fee fraud.
Doofus. Ignorance is a disease.

The Internet is free. Educate yourself.

Russia has ALWAYS had surveillance drones, since forever. They deployed their first drones at the same time as the US and other world powers.

But there are different kinds of drones: Surveillance/Reconnaissance drones and Kamikaze drones.


Surveillance drones are used to spy from the skies. Kamikaze drones are like suicide drones, they detonate on impact, they are used as suicide bombers.

Russia (and other world powers) invested heavily on surveillance ones, only Iran invested in kamikaze drones.

But the Russian Ukraine war has taught militaries worldwide the need for kamikaze drones as they are cost effective and can be used in place of expensive missiles.

In early 2022, during the first months of the war, Russia tested out Iranian kamikaze drones (Shaheed drones) and bought the license to mass produce them. Russia et up a factory in Tatarstan and are currently shunning out over 4000 Shaheed drones per month.

The US till this day hasn't even tested a kamikaze drone in combat, talkless of fielding or deploying them.

Before Elon Musk Space X came into the game, Russia had the highest number of satellites in Space. And they keep launching newer powerful satellites every day.

Russia defeated the Nazis. Killed 80% of them and captured Berlin, forcing Hitler to kill himself. Did they use Nukes?

Russia Defeated Napoleon and the powerful Ottoman empire. Did they also use Nukes?

The US/West was afraid of Russia/USSR before Nukes were even invented.
