... Dzherelo where NATO creeps have been assembling UAVs and stored weapons left the chat.
... 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.
... 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.
... re: Ratcliffe's visit to Moscow.
... 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.
... that you are smart and a deep thinker? Right, refer to some history (or rather history's clichés) and voila'--people read your trite and contrived bullshit as some kind of profundity. Enter "journalists" from MSM. Here is an example.
In 458 BC, Cincinnatus, after saving Rome, went back to farming. In 1945, Winston Churchill was voted out of office by a war-weary British public. In 2026, is the time coming for Volodymyr Zelensky to similarly hang up his green T-shirt?
Obviously Roland Oliphant who penned this BS does not, with all his impressive background (yes, The University of Edinburgh, MA (hons), Mental Philosophy, 2002 – 2006--you see, he is totally qualified to "report" on anything--from hemorrhoids to war) that little green cocaine sniffing turd, as well as his shitty 404 country, are done. And unlike Churchill, who, for all of his flaws, was one of the Big Three and a victor in WW II, Ze and his cabal of genocidal freaks, same as the whole editorial boards of The Telegraph or BBC et al--they are war criminals and Ze's end is going to be very unpleasant. In related news for this "mental philosopher" UK is DIRECTLY involved in atrocities and crimes against humanity and the payback is coming.
Russians are very patient people and are very deliberate. This time there is no residual allied feeling which existed between courageous people of Great Britain and Russians. Today, it is mostly low lives worshipping Nazis and the country which is going to hell in a basket. I am not going to be elaborating on the way Ze will be found and eliminated--let your phantasy fly--but if this Oliphant cretin doesn't understand (he doesn't--they don't teach math to fraudulent credentialed morons), he better start contemplating his fate against the background, on 404 side only, death of 3 million VSU personnel and millions more wounded and maimed for life. UK is directly complicit in that. Here is a "historical" (not really historic, just fictional, but I love it still the same) cliché.
But that is because none of them understands complexities of producing anything in 404. So, basically, everything is nothing more than PR noise going back to square one and no "release" occurs.
Britain will allow the release of classified technology so that a British/French-designed cruise missile can be manufactured in Ukraine, a boost for Kyiv in its efforts to bring more firepower to bear hundreds of kilometers into Russia. Paris and Kyiv want to set up a Ukrainian production line for the SCALP air-launched cruise missile, known as the Storm Shadow in the United Kingdom, by the end of the year. The declassification of information on British-made components of the missiles, announced Monday, is a key step towards that goal.
So, it is NOT a "Ukrainian production line"--it is the same British production line which remains in the UK, but this BS looks nice in the headlines. There is no classified technology there, Russia has a number of slightly damaged SCALP/Storm Shadows and this thing is a standard target even for lower tier Russian AD complexes such as S1 Pantsir, Tor M2, not to speak of Buk M2 let alone S-350. Let me put it this way, this missile is way out of the league of 3M14(M) Kalibr and Russian AD will handle those "Ukrainian" missiles as it did before--most have been shot down.
Here is how Flamingo (Russians use Hlamingo, from Hlam-rubbish) is intercepted by MOGs.
