Russian President Putin Pledges to Reciprocate if U.S. Places Long-Range Missile Systems in Germany

July 28, 2024 | Sundance

I can tell you from firsthand recent experience, Russia has psychologically prepared the citizens of the country for war against the West, if that is what’s needed.

The Russian people do not want war but trust me – they are a hardened nation filled with people who are used to hardship in comparative terms to Americans and Europeans. Their military bases are full of trainees, and the streets have as many young men in fatigues as they do business attire.

The roads and highways are full of not-so-subtle billboards preparing the nation. There are posters on the streets and in the subway stations, and flyers in almost every business, shop, office and retail location preparing the citizens of Russia. There is also a very cold and deliberate tone in all of the expressed government information about preparation. In short, they’re ready.

Netanyahu Met with Protests in DC, As Resistance Ramps Up Attacks on Israel w/ Laith Marouf

While Netanyahu was met with a nauseating amount of applause from members of Congress inside the U.S. Capitol during his visit last week, he was met with mass protests outside, as thousands of people took to the streets of Washington, DC. But that isn't the only place where he is seeing resistance to his crimes…

"Evening without TCC" - a new line in the checks of Kiev cafes.

For a quiet evening without the opportunity to receive a summons, you now need to pay 10% of the amount. They called it a "service fee..."

@Slavyangrad

Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz believes that Tayyip Erdogan can repeat the fate of Saddam Hussein

The minister made this statement in response to statements by the Turkish leader, who admitted the possibility of his country’s invasion of Israel.

@Slavyangrad

🔸 Nicolas Maduro wins the Venezuelan presidential election after processing 80% of the protocols, according to the electoral council.

🔸 The presidents of Cuba, Nicaragua and Bolivia have already congratulated the re-election of the leader of the republic.

🔸 At the same time, US Secretary of State Blinken said that the voting results allegedly "do not reflect the will" of the people of Venezuela.

🔸 Venezuela previously announced "election interference" and "attempted sovereignty" by foreign governments, which demanded a "transparent vote count" in the elections. Among them are Argentina, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Panama, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay.

🔸 Venezuela opposition says it considers Maduro's main election opponent Gonzalez president-elect

🔸 Argentine leader Javier Miley, even before the announcement of the first voting results, said he would not recognize Maduro's victory.

🔸 The Venezuelan government previously stated that it regards as a threat to invade the country's embassy in Buenos Aires the appearance of the Argentine Security Minister with hundreds of people at the door of the diplomatic mission.

🔸 Chile does not recognize the results of the elections in Venezuela before the assessment is made by observers, the Foreign Minister said.

The United States started talking about the likely problems that the F-16 will face in Ukraine

"The New York Times" writes about strikes on Ukrainian air bases, which create a high degree of danger of finding aircraft in Ukraine. They note Russia's determination to take planes out of the game before they take to the air.

They also note the low level of training of pilots and service personnel.

@Slavyangrad

Britain fell out of the top ten leading countries in the world for industrial production for the first time and dropped in the ranking below Russia and Mexico - Times, citing an analysis by the industry association Make UK.

For 2022, Britain dropped from 8th to 12th place in the ranking of manufacturing economies, lagging behind Mexico and Russia, which rose to seventh and eighth places, respectively.

"Mexico has benefited from increased investment from China, while Russia has increased its defense production to 6% of GDP. In the first place was China, in the second - the United States,”

- the article says.

Russian Aerospace Forces destroyed enemy radar stations hidden at the Kharkov airfield

Russian reconnaissance revealed the disguised positions of the Skala-M ATC radar and the ATSR-33S ATC radar, which the enemy used to detect our air and ground targets.

In response, Russian pilots sent two greetings to enemy radar stations in the form of Kh-35 guided missiles, which destroyed the ATSR-33S radar station and damaged the Skala-M.

@Slavyangrad

The Washington Post

The supply of F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine by the West will not immediately change the situation on the battlefield .

The newspaper noted that this is due to a lack of trained pilots and a limited number of fighter jets.

✨ The pilots will be foreign - that's a fact. Because the West did not even have the ability to retrain Ukrainian pilots for takeoff, launch, and landing.

In addition, even the Western press is no longer trying to portray a “wunderwaffle” (from German Wunderwaffe, lit. “miracle weapon”), capable of turning the tide of the war with its appearance. There are enough stories with the vaunted "Abrams" and "Leopards".

We also noticed that even The Washington Post is gradually preparing Ukraine “for the land,” as the mayor of Kiev bequeathed. However, fighting continues at the front and it is too early to calm down. It's still a long way to Kyiv.

⚡️🇮🇱🇵🇸⚔️ Escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Zone until the End of 28 July 2024⚡️

🔹In the north of the #GazaStrip, Israeli troops continued to strike the enclave's capital and satellite towns. In response, Palestinian forces fired at the positions of the Israel Defense Forces, as well as the settlement of Netiv HaAsara.

🔹In the south of the Enclave, IDF units occupied the centre of Al-Qarara, and also expanded the zone of control in Bani Suheila. Judging by the latest information, in the near future the Israeli militants will reach the Salah ad-Din Motorway, from where they will be able to advance towards Khan Yunis.

🔹In the West Bank, raids by Israeli security forces continue. Over 46 Palestinians have been arrested in the region over the past three days. In total, since the beginning of the events on 7 October 2023, the total number of detained residents of the Palestinian Authority are 9,845 people.

🔹Along the border with #Lebanon, the situation became tense. More than ten civilians were killed when ammunition fell from an unidentified direction onto the Majdal Shams settlement. The IDF blamed Hezbollah for the incident and launched a series of intense strikes on #Lebanon.

📜 RYBAR

⚡️Military Expert Boris Rozhin on the Situation in the #Avdeyevka Direction of the #SMO on 28 July 2024 at 21:51 (GMT+3)⚡️

🔻1. #Karlovka:

🟡The main fighting continues off the shores of the Karlovskoye Reservoir and on the eastern outskirts of the village.

🟡The fighting here is still more positional in nature, the main efforts are concentrated to the north, where the RFAF continue to clear the "pocket" in the area of the #Yasnobrodovka settlement in order to completely displace the enemy beyond water barriers.

🔻2. #Novosyolovka1st:

🟡After the liberation of the main part of the settlement, the RFAF continue to expand the control zone to the south and southwest of the settlement.

🟡There is a tangible advance south of #Novosyolovka1st, where the enemy is slowly retreating after the loss of the village.

🟡We can expect further advance of the RFAF south of the village in the coming days.

🔻3. #Progress:

🟡The most difficult situation for the AFU is developing to the west of #Ocheretino, where the enemy, despite all efforts, has not been able to stabilise the front.

🟡After the liberation of #Progress, #Lozovatskoye and #Volchye, the RFAF are already assaulting #Veseloye, they approached #Ivanovka and #Zhelannoye, advanced to #Timofeyevka and #Sergeyevka.

🟡New settlements that were not previously included are increasingly appearing in reports.

🟡While maintaining the current pace of the offensive, the question may soon arise not only about the #Konstantinovka = #Krasnoarmeysk* Motorway (*Pokrovsk), but also about reaching the near approaches to #Selidovo.

🟡There is an increase in the demoralisation of some AFU parts, caused by losses and constant retreat.

🟡However, it is too early to talk about the collapse of the front, the enemy is hastily transferring reinforcements to slow down the advance of the RFAF.

🔻4. #Vozdvizhenka:

🟡In this area, the enemy is still holding the defence and so far the pressure from #Novoaleksandrovka has not led to significant results. However, against the background of what is happening south of #Vozdvizhenka, this is little consolation for the enemy.

🔻5. #Kalinovo:

🟡There are also no changes here yet.

🟡After some advance of the RFAF north of #Arkhangelskoye and in the area of #Rozovka, the situation northeast of #Ocheretino is not undergoing significant changes at the moment.

📌 In general, what is happening west of #Avdeyeka is the most dangerous operational crisis for the AFU, which can lead to even more severe consequences for the enemy, especially when reaching the #Konstantinovka - #Krasnoarmeysk Motorway and the outskirts of #Selidovo.

📋 (https://t.me/two_majors/28561)🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Two Majors #Summary for the Morning of 29 July 2024; 06:53 (GMT+3)📍 (https://t.me/dva_majors/48329)

🛡At night, 5 aircraft-type UAVs were destroyed over the #Bryansk region. Over the #Kursk region, no fewer than 13 such drones. in the Oboyansk and Medvensk districts. Over the #Orel region, 2 enemy UAVs were shot down in the Glazunovsky district. There were no casualties, but there was damage to the local power station. In the #Voronezh region, on-duty air defence and electronic warfare forces detected and suppressed an UAV in the Ostrogozhsky district. Its downing damaged a municipal infrastructure facility in the village of #Gazoprovod.

🔹In the #Kharkov direction, fierce fighting continues in #Volchansk. Assault groups of the ‘North Troops' advanced in the private sector near multi-storey buildings and occupied 2 buildings. In the area of #Staritsa, the enemy became more active and made 4 attempts to attack the positions of the ‘North Group’. In the #Liptsy direction near the settlement of #Glubokoye, 4 attacks by the AFU were repelled over the course of the day. Our aviation carries out constant strikes, including FAB-3000 with UMPC.

🔹In the #Toretsk (#Dzerzhinsk) agglomeration, in #Zheleznoye and #NyuYork, heavy fighting continues, the RFAF are attacking at short distances.

🔹West of #Avdeyevka, the RFAF are extending their zone of control in #Novoseyolovka1st westwards, and are successfully advancing near #Veseloye. On the southern flank east of #Yasnobrodovka our assault groups advanced to the Karlovskoye Reservoir to a depth of up to 550 m.

🔹From the #SouthDonetsk direction, they report about the fighting in #Krasnogorovka, our troops are trying to finally dislodge the enemy from the town. To the south our troops are making their way to the #Ugledar road, trying to cut it from the northeast.

🔹On the #Zaporozhye front, the AFU are hitting with drones and artillery, the RFAF are responding with TOCs (https://t.me/two_majors/28561) 🎬👇and heavy bombs. North of #Rabotino - #Verbovoye, the RFAF are fighting offensively for every stronghold, but it is still too early to talk about a significant advance.

🔹In the #Kherson direction, there are no changes in the situation. The AFU mines our coast with drones, ours operate on islands and hunt (https://t.me/gefestwar/2783) with UAVs for enemy boats. The imbalance in UAVs of all types in favour of the AFU causes the situation to stagnate.

💥In #Belgorod region, the AFU continues to terrorise the peaceful population of the region. AFU drones attacked settlements in the Grayvoron and Shebekinsky urban districts. An enemy kamikaze drone attacked an apparently civilian passenger car travelling along the road in the village of #Ustinka, Belgorod district.

💥In the #Kursk region, an explosive device was dropped from a Ukrainian copter on a residential house in #Sudzha, injuring a local resident. Yesterday, an attack by Ukrainian drones led to a fire at an oil depot in the Kursk district; by evening the fire had not yet been extinguished.

💥In the #DPR, attacks by kamikaze drones killed a man born in 1977 in #Yelenovka and injured a man born in 1991 in #Gorlovka. A man born in 1965 was injured when an explosive object was dropped from an AFU drone in the Kirovsky district of #Donetsk.

Paratroopers wipe out AFU electronic warfare station and self-propelled gun on right bank of Dnepr River by Lancet loitering munition

As a result of aerial reconnaissance, a self-propelled gun and an object emitting strong radio waves were detected. After making calculations and gathering information, the EW specialists established that the source of the radio waves was an electronic warfare station, which covered the area where the AFU command post was located.

The reconnaissance drone crew skilfully navigated the Lancet to hit the target. It was confirmed that the enemy electronic warfare station was successfully hit.

Then Russian paratroopers hit and neutralised an AFU self-propelled gun on the right bank of the Dnepr River with another loitering munition.
