Our warriors have achieved good results in applying long-range sanctions against important facilities on the territory of Russia and in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. More than 700 kilometers from our state border, in Russia’s Yaroslavl region, SSU warriors struck an oil facility that was important for the reserves of the aggressor state. Warriors of our army reached their targets in Russia’s Tula region – specifically, the Azot plant, whose operations are critical to explosives production capabilities. Air traffic restrictions were imposed at six Russian airports, and overall, since yesterday evening, 28 regions of Russia have been under air raid alerts. There were also hits on the occupier’s military logistics in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine. Ukraine is carrying out its plan of long-range sanctions against Russia and the assigned tasks regarding mid-range strikes in response to Russia’s refusal to end this war. We have offered the Russian leadership every possible format for negotiations – and the only response was continued aggression and attempts to expand it. It stands to reason that the war is coming back to where it came from. Ukraine needs peace. Glory to Ukraine!

Hegseth: Nobody makes better or more munitions than the US. Brennan: But there is a crisis with those stockpiles right now. Hegseth: That is a manufactured story that the media wants to peddle. Brennan: You testified under oath that it would take years to rebuild those stockpiles.

Overnight, Ukrainian mid-range attack drones swarmed and struck the Russian-occupied Crimean Titan chemical plant in Armyansk, a key producer of Titanium oxide and nitrate (explosive) products. Seen here, onboard footage as multiple Ukrainian attack drones slam into the plant.

A Russian Z-blogger reports that after an FP-2 drone strike on Boykiy corvette in Kronstadt, near St Petersburg, Russia, the corvette cannot be repaired and will most likely be decommissioned. He described the damage in detail: "A clear satellite image of the aftermath of the FP-2 drone strike on the Project 20380 corvette Boykiy in the Kronstadt drydock after firefighting, with an assessment of the damage sustained: ▪️Bow gun mount: The bow section and main gun are intact, likely avoiding direct impact from the blast wave. ▪️Navigation bridge and mast section: Severe structural deformation. The mainmast and radar platform have collapsed inward/downward, likely due to loss of strength due to high temperatures. ▪️Midship hull: Severe damage concentrated in the area of ​​critical electronic equipment, sensor antennas, and electronic warfare stations. ▪️Aft deck and smokestack area: Significant fire damage and burn marks. Extreme temperatures likely caused deformation of the air intakes and exhaust ducts. As a result, according to Western researchers, the collapse of the composite superstructure onto the main hull and the subsequent destruction of the electronics will most likely lead to the decommissioning of the corvette. This is a direct consequence of the lack of any protection for the ship, which was docked, making it incapable of independent combat and damage control. This resulted in the actual loss of a ship worth approximately 10 billion rubles and nearly eight years of construction, due to the use of just a couple of FP-2 drones, each costing tens of thousands of dollars.

❗️🇺🇦Ukrainian Defense Forces struck a column of approximately 50 🇷🇺Russian trucks carrying fuel and ammunition near Armiansk on the night of June 11. Part of the equipment was destroyed. This was reported by the commander of the 1st Separate Assault Regiment, Dmytro “Perun” Filatov.

i remain convinced that if we spent ww2 money on researching random shit and developing advanced knowledge and capabilities we'd either figure out faster than light travel or how to remotely reduce a target to its component elements

Some great footage of P-47D “Peggy Short/Pee-Wee”(and friends) from 1945 at Fritzlar, Germany assigned to the 386th Fighter Squadron, 365th Fighter Group (Hell Hawks) and flown by 1st Lt. Cecil R. Ettinger, who completed 65 missions and scored his only kill on April 18th, 1945.🫡

We're going to charge interest on medical debt now when we're also the only developed country where people go bankrupt from medical debt

Trump may as well have called the rest of us peasants. According to him, it wasn’t workers who built America. It was rich guys like him and his cabinet: “These people built the country, not the complainers. The complainers didn’t build the country…. Whether it’s fishermen or farmers or anything else. Me. Guys like me, they built the country. And you know, I watch all these ingrates, they’re always complaining, complaining. They didn’t build anything, they couldn’t build anything.”

If they say DOGE had 0 to do with it, then it had 100% to do with it.

I have a serious question for anyone at the Office of the Secretary of the Navy or the Department of War. Why are underway Sailors at Naval Station Norfolk in Virginia, many of whom are currently deployed to the Middle East for combat operations against Iran, required to pay $80 per month to the Navy Exchange (NEX) - a retail chain meant to support Sailors and their families which is owned and operated by the U.S. Navy - just to store their cars inside an overgrown, nonsecure, fenced lot? If Sailors decide not to park in the lot and leave their car anywhere else on base, they risk having their car towed, impounded, and in some cases auctioned off. How does this support our Sailors, many of whom are already struggling financially? Can something please be done about this? @SECNAV @USNavy @DeptofWar @DOWResponse @PeteHegseth

MAGA: We want all ballots processed by hand. No computers or scanners! two minutes later... MAGA: Why is the count taking so long?

I would go so far as to suggest that we were ahead in most places. There are certain technologies that we waited a while to deploy because we wanted better performance out of them. For example, we had handheld image intensifier tubes in 1942. They required, illumination, but...
