Chinese military scientists have unveiled a chilling blueprint to annihilate U.S. aircraft carrier strike groups from 3,000 kilometers away using coordinated missile swarms. A peer-reviewed paper published in the defense journal Tactical Missile Technology by researchers at China's National University of Defence Technology outlines a step-by-step guide for "distributed confrontation." The tactical plan specifically aims to neutralize the U.S. Navy's strategy of dispersing forces farther out in the Pacific, effectively turning the distance between Shanghai and Guam into a highly contested kill zone. This strategy builds directly upon the People's Liberation Army's existing anti-access/area-denial (A2/AD) arsenal, most notably the DF-26 "carrier killer" ballistic missile. By utilizing a highly integrated network of mobile land launchers, surface ships, and aircraft, the proposed tactics coordinate high-speed ballistic strikes with low-altitude cruise missiles to completely saturate advanced American naval defenses. The goal is to overwhelm Aegis-equipped destroyers through sheer volume, ensuring that defensive systems are depleted before all incoming threats can be intercepted. While the theoretical modeling signals Beijing's growing confidence in long-range precision warfare, executing such an attack in a real-world conflict presents massive operational hurdles. Successfully hitting a moving aircraft carrier group at such an extreme distance requires flawless, real-time tracking from satellite networks and over-the-horizon radar. These critical targeting nodes remain highly vulnerable to American electronic warfare, cyber disruption, and counter-space capabilities, leaving the actual effectiveness of a long-range swarm unproven. #MilitaryTech #A2AD #USNavy #PLA #MissileSwarm #Geopolitics2026 #PacificDefense #NavalWarfare

A massive political schism is opening in Europe. While Brussels pushes for total energy decoupling, Germany’s leading opposition party has just bypassed the government to hold direct talks with Gazprom on restarting the Nord Stream pipelines. 🇷🇺🇩🇪🇪🇺 🧵 👇

A business owner living in Brazil who disappeared in January 2023 was revealed to be a deep-cover Russian illegal agent who is now likely back in Moscow. Gerhard Daniel Campos Wittich lived in Rio de Janeiro for more than five years, where he ran a 3D printing firm called 3D Rio. He claimed to be the son of an Austrian father and Brazilian mother, and grew up in Vienna, which explained his accented Portuguese. His company had contracts with Brazilian military and government organizations. When he disappeared, he was in the final stages of closing on a new commercial space located just down the street from the US Consulate in Rio. According to reporting by Shaun Walker in the Guardian, an Argentinian couple living in Slovenia were arrested in December 2022 and revealed to be Russian spies. Those arrests likely led Campos Wittich to be recalled by Moscow to avoid being arrested in a widening investigation. He told his girlfriend he would be attending a 3D printing convention in Malaysia, then disappeared in early January shortly after arriving in Kuala Lumpur. Weeks later, Greek media reported that a photographer named Maria Tsalla living in Greece was actually a Russian spy named Irina Alexandrovna Smireva and she was secretly married to another Russian spy named Artem Smirev, AKA Gerhard Campos Wittich. The married couple were living thousands of miles apart, carrying out separate missions, and building entirely separate lives from each other. A years-long investigation by Brazil’s intelligence community and law enforcement has identified at least nine Russian illegals who have used Brazilian identities to create their own legends. Many of them (including Campos Wittich AKA Smirev) were in the early stages of their decades-long missions when their new lives were disrupted by investigations and media revelations.

Grande dia! Bom dia para todos, menos para os TERRORISTAS do Comando Vermelho e do Primeiro Comando da Capital que, a patir de hoje, são oficialmente considerados Organizações Terroristas Estrangeiras. Obrigado @FlavioBolsonaro e @BolsonaroSP pela caminhada até chegarmos aqui.

For 37 years, over 2,000 images taken by a Chinese state media photographer were hidden in a metal box, surviving brutal purges—until now. These raw, powerful photos show the courage of the students, the scale of the protests, and the horror of what the Chinese Communist Party did. Now, The @EpochTimes is making the photos public for the first time. [1/2]

Putin said to all missions ‘leave Kyiv’. Instead, all 32 NATO Ambassadors and the Secretary General visit Ukraine. Our message is crystal clear: NATO’s support for Ukraine is unshaken #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦

Today marks the 37th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre, when the Communist regime sent tanks to trample peaceful pro-democracy protesters. Their bravery will not be forgotten, including the man who stopped a column of tanks. “Since that June day, I have been inspired by one of the most iconic figures of the latter half of the 20th century, even though I have no idea of his name. Like the rest of the world, I just call him Tank Man.” @yangjianli001

Today is 37 years since the Tiananmen Massacre On this day in 1989, the Chinese Communist Party ordered the People's Liberation Army to open fire on its own citizens. Peaceful pro-democracy students and workers who gathered in Beijing's Tiananmen Square demanding freedom, anti-corruption, and basic human rights were crushed under tanks and gunfire. The protests began in mid-April 1989, triggered by the death of reformist leader Hu Yaobang. On May 13, students began a hunger strike. Martial law was declared on May 20, but protesters remained peaceful. In the early hours of June 4, troops advanced with tanks and live ammunition. Soldiers fired on unarmed civilians blocking their path in the streets surrounding the square. Hundreds to thousands were killed. Thousands more were imprisoned, tortured, or disappeared. To this day, the Chinese government censors all mention of it, erases it from history books, and threatens anyone who remembers.

Entendo a rechaça da classificação estadunidense de que nosso narcoestado é uma organização terrorista. Mas a crítica ao governo dos EUA desacompanhada de uma crítica ao nosso é uma omissão inaceitável. O narcoestado detém o monopólio da força sobre grandes extensões de nosso território, incluindo onde estão os data centers e estações de cabo submarino em SP, RJ, BA e CE. Neles, ora cobram tributos do setor privado para permitir a operação de provedores de internet e data centers nesses territórios, ora empresas narcoestatais usufruem de monopólio no fornecimento do serviço. O maior data center em construção no país, da dona do Tiktok, está numa região de narcoestado. Nesses locais, só posso trabalhar sob escolta. Estamos aqui no Fórum da Internet no Brasil em Belém discutindo soberania digital, da necessidade de protegê-la das big techs dos EUA, com ONGs dizendo que a presença da Starlink é uma ameaça ao Brasil enquanto a ameaça concreta e imediata é o narcoestado. A bússola do nosso debate da soberania está apontando para o Norte errado.

PCC e CV não são facções: são terroristas armados contra o povo brasileiro e com atuação além das nossas fronteiras. Quem domina territórios, impõe toque de recolher, mata inocentes e desafia o Estado pratica terror. O Brasil não pode mais ser refém de bandido. Terrorista tem que estar atrás das grades, sem relativização. Parabéns ao senador @FlavioBolsonaro pela articulação firme e necessária.

O Primeiro Comando da Capital e o Comando Vermelho são duas das organizações criminosas mais violentas do Brasil. Seu alcance se estende por toda a nossa região e até o nosso país. Hoje, designei essas organizações como Organizações Terroristas Estrangeiras e Terroristas Globais Especialmente Designados. O governo Trump continuará usando todas as ferramentas disponíveis para proteger nossos interesses de segurança nacional e negar o acesso de narcoterroristas a financiamento e recursos.
Primeiro Comando da Capital and Comando Vermelho are two of the most violent criminal organizations in Brazil. Their reach extends throughout our region and into our country.    Today, I designated these organizations as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists.    The Trump Administration will continue using every available tool to protect our national security interests and deny funding and resources to narco-terrorists. state.gov/releases/office-of…
