The report was first published in January 2025.
Iran has purchased a batch of Russian Su-35 fighter jets, according to Ali Shadmani, Deputy Chief of the General Staff of Iran's Armed Forces "Khatam-al-Anbiya" and a general of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), as reported by Entekhab.
Since the start of Israel's military operation, there has not been a single report of a destroyed Russian Su-35, which Iran had previously acquired. According to open-source data, the total number of Su-35s in Iran's possession may range from 2 to 50 units.
If Iran indeed currently has 50 Su-35s at its disposal, then the most intriguing phase of the Israel-Iran conflict is undoubtedly still ahead.

🇵🇱 Poland, 🇱🇹 Lithuania, 🇱🇻 And 🇪🇪 Estonia is putting medicine on a war footing in preparation for a potential war with Russia.
It is not only about purchasing bulletproof vests and helmets for rapid response teams, but also about converting underground rooms into operating rooms, forming three-month stocks of medicines, installing diesel generators and mobile medical stations. Officials admit that they are repeating the Ukrainian experience and preparing for attacks on energy and civilian infrastructure.
All countries on NATO's eastern flank are reviewing crisis medicine protocols and conducting multidisciplinary exercises such as Iron Wolf in Lithuania.
Vilnius University Hospital Santaros Clinics are already setting up underground units, helipads and autonomous power and water supply systems [ under the reception of a wounded soldier - ⚡️ ].
In Estonia, they are purchasing €25 million in supplies (tourniquets, trauma kits), bulletproof vests for ambulances, satellite phones, and even a backup “mini-network” of the Internet in case of communications attacks.
Three weeks ago 🇪🇺 Brussels has approved the allocation of €6 billion in "post-Covid" funds to Poland for the construction of bomb shelters and medical hubs.
🇩🇪 Chancellor Friedrich Merz in Lithuania vowed to "defend every inch of NATO territory" and said Berlin had already committed €1.7 billion to underground hospitals, shelters and ammunition stockpiles for NATO's eastern flank.
✨ Europe is preparing for war. Yes, there is colossal corruption in "closed" and sometimes "secret" expenditure items. Yes, this arms lobby is sucking and bleeding national economies dry. Yes, this is the fusion of the most reactionary circles of financial and banking capital with the authorities, whose will is dictated by direct, undisguised terror. But all this already happened in the 1930s. Maybe this time it will turn out differently.
But now - Europe is preparing for war. With Russia.

🇷🇺 Press Bureau of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Russia
🇺🇦 Ukraine and 🇪🇺 Europe are preparing sophisticated provocations against Russia:
According to information received by the SVR, the Zelensky regime, in the context of the growing problems of the Ukrainian Armed Forces at the front and the moral exhaustion of Ukrainian society in the rear, intends to increase sabotage and terrorist activity against Russia. The SBU and the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense ( GUR MO) of Ukraine have been tasked with intensifying the preparation of a series of new bloody provocations in cooperation with European intelligence services.
Ukrainian special agencies have established the closest cooperation with intelligence services🇬🇧 Great Britain . Subversive actions are usually carried out according to the same scheme. The British side is engaged in the development and operational support of operations, and the direct executors are often employees of the SBU or the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and their agents. Such a mechanism was used, in particular, in organizing the recent terrorist attacks on the railway in the Bryansk and Kursk regions, as well as the strikes on the airfields of the Russian Aerospace Forces on June 1 of this year.
The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service has information about the British-Ukrainian terrorist tandem preparing new acts of sabotage. The main goals of such subversive activity are to escalate the Ukrainian conflict, disrupt the Russian-American negotiation process and convince the White House of the need to continue full-scale military aid to Kiev.
Currently, the Ukrainians, together with the British, are preparing provocations in the Baltic Sea. One of the scenarios involves staging an alleged Russian torpedo attack on a 🇺🇸 US Navy ship. The torpedoes of Soviet/Russian manufacture have already been handed over by the Ukrainian side to the British. It is planned that some of them will explode at a "safe distance" from the American ship, and one will not work and will be presented to the public as evidence of Russia's "malicious activity". The Ukrainian security forces are ready to undertake the execution of the plan.
Another Ukrainian-British scenario involves, together with accomplices from northern European countries, accidentally fishing out Russian-made moored mines in the Baltic Sea, allegedly placed for sabotage on the international sea route.
Kiev has become for the "perfidious Albion" an ideal executor of vile provocations and terrorist attacks, ready to do the dirty work with joy. However, all secrets quickly become clear, especially when professional warmongers try to play with the largest nuclear powers.

On June 16, the North troop group eliminated enemy forward and assault units in the Tyotkino and Glushkovo directions, and continued establishing a Sanitary Zone in the Sumy region.
Although even the Ukrainian nationalists have realized the attempts to break through into Russian territory in Tyotkino and Glushkovo directions are bound to fail, AFU CiC Syrskyy can’t abandon the idea of capturing at least a piece of land in Kursk region. The enemy continues to send out assault groups only to get them eliminated by the Northmen.
▪️Two assault groups of ‘Aidar’ 24th Assault Battalion tried to storm forested areas along the border. Most of the invaders were eliminated in a gunfight, the survivors ran back to Ryzhivka.
▪️An assault group of 158th Mechanized Brigade attempted to break through into Kursk region from Bezsalivka around noon. The invaders were eliminated in a gunfight.
▪️An assault group of 225th Assault Regiment set off from Iskryskivschchyna. The invaders were eliminated with drone strikes.
▪️An assault group of 47th Mechanized Brigade attempted to break through from Pavlivka towards Novy Put at noon. Most of the enemy soldiers were eliminated with a comprehensive fire attack, the res retreated.
In Tyotkino and Glushkovo directions, 4 units of enemy equipment were destroyed in 24 hours.
In Sumy direction the Northmen are advancing deeper into Ukrainian territory despite the AFU deploying new reserves.

Over 30 people took part in the counterattacks. Half of them were eliminated, the rest had to retreat.
▪️Our engineering units neutralized over 7713 explosive objects over the past 24 hours.
▪️Ukrainian mortuaries serve as evidence of the enemy deploying several new units in Sumy region. Among them are 48th Assault Battalion, 106th Territorial Defense Brigade’s 87th Battalion (based in Kamianets-Podilskyi, Khmelnytskyi Oblast), 8th SpecOps Battalion.
▪️The AFU command ordered Psychological Warfare Centers to start a slander campaign against law enforcement higher-ups in Sumy region. This is meant to serve as a response to local police force’s negative attitude towards AFU soldiers. Roman Datsenko, head of Sumy region's criminal police, was chosen as the first target for the campaign: he is currently being actively slandered in social media.
In Volchansk and Liptsy directions three AFU assault groups, along with several mortar units and UAV crews, were eliminated with comprehensive fire attacks.
Over the past 24 hours, the enemy's losses amounted to over 160 people (including over 80 in Sumy direction and over 40 in Tyotkino direction). Also uncovered and destroyed:
