Nima and Yours Truly ...

 ... live in 50 minutes.

Garland and Me

 ... live in 45 minutes. 

Kherson Military Plant ...

... Dzherelo where NATO creeps have been assembling UAVs and stored weapons left the chat. 

The scale of explosion was immense. It seems slow motion but it is not--keep an eye on the clock. It is because of the size of this thing. I hope we can get it with the sound. 

I Can Tell You Why ...

 ... Ratcliffe came to Moscow:

1. CIA and US intel assets have been pulverized in the Persian Gulf. 

2. Requests (US cannot demand or threaten--it is a paper tiger) to assist with Iran. 

3. The wrap on the West's yet another Drang nach Osten is coming and Washington knows it--they panic. Europe should die out. 

Half-Price ...

 ... and still shitty. 

Lockheed Martin’s planned lower-cost Patriot interceptor comes with a consequential engineering trade: PAC-3 ACE is expected to cost roughly half as much as the PAC-3 MSE, but it will not use the MSE’s hit-to-kill technology. Instead of relying on a direct collision to defeat a target, the new interceptor will carry a larger conventional high-explosive fragmentation warhead.

But this is a tacit admission of a dead-end US military technological concepts find themselves in, because time after time the US military, aka "finest fighting force in history", thought that it was their, not others approaches, from technology to operations, that defeated Nazism. Such a simple thing as the probability of an intercept of aerial targets based on "hit-to-kill" idea which proved itself useless in real war  was ignored. Now, with utter humiliation of Patriot and THAAD in real war with UAVs, supersonic and hypersonic targets, this attempt at fragmentation warhead and developing an "intercept cone" may help somewhat against older types of targets, but it is still useless without real integrated (no, not in PR BS from Pentagon) multi-layered (echeloned) air defense, the US AD technology will remain in the rut it is today, unable to defend anything in real war. 

Peskov Made a Statement ...

 ... re: Ratcliffe's visit to Moscow. 

"I don't know shit and heard nothing. Fuck off." (c) Concluded Peskov his statement to media. 

As They Say ...

 ... no shit. 

Japan formally refused to transfer anti-ballistic interceptor missiles to Ukraine on August 24, 2026, even as Volodymyr Zelenskyy publicly disclosed for the first time that annual Patriot interceptor deliveries have fallen 61 percent — from 675 in 2023 to a projected 264 in 2026 — while Russian ballistic missile attacks on Ukrainian cities continue to escalate. The refusal came on Ukraine's 35th Independence Day, as the Coalition of the Willing convened in Kyiv with UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham for his first overseas visit as prime minister.

This drivel in Tech Times is written by people who think that writing code and talking about new 2nm chip in iPhone to watch gay porn is tech. Reality is--majority of the strikes on 404 are done by cruise missiles of all varieties and long-range drones. Ballistic missiles strikes are but a small portion of reparation Russia pays to 404. But that's not the point--the point is that US-made so called air-defense is a joke, it can be stated now confidently, and the only thing it is good at, and you have guessed it already, is PR covering up its massive failures. 

In related news, Russian special forces visited UAVs operators in Druzhkovka and disposed of them silently and with knives only. 

In related news, CIA Director visits Moscow. Let me explain: there is nothing Mr. Ratcliffe can bring to the table in Moscow. He can only ask for some favor from Russia. Recall, that to his great credit he was the one who openly laughed at military amateurs such as POTUS and Marco Rubio when these two Adelson's and BiBi' cabana boys decided to "defeat" Iran. Now, we can see how it worked out and the only image which comes to mind is ... when things go bad, they can get even worse. That's the position of the US now. 

Or for lovers of an alternative version--there are always step-mothers or step-sisters who get stuck in couches, driers, under the tables and are "helped" by their step-sons, if you know what I mean.
