Peskov Made a Statement ...
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.

How To Produce Impression on Others...
... 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.
Squealing With Excitement.
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.
The Only Size That Matters ...
... and even IMF data speaks volumes. UK still pretends that it matters--it does not.

Italian and Colombian ...
... they have been around for many years react to Scarlet Sails in St. Petersburg this year.
OK, Let Me Be Very Clear.
What came in 1990s was what Alice Cooper beautifully described (you can find it everywhere), or, it could be summarized--a lot of emotions, very little music. Promotion of depression, some incoherent lyrics (Pearl Jam anyone) and downtuning guitars because of the lack of ability to play. But we can forgive that. And as much as I don't like Billy Corgan he nails it.
Meanwhile, legendary Aria is coming to the US. Yes, to Seattle too!
Yes, we bought tickets))
