Borisoglebsk is about a nine-hour drive from Kharkiv. The air base is on the eastern side of town.

2/ NASA’s Fire Information for Resource Management System detected at least three thermal anomalies at the Air Base. While it's not very precise or comprehensive, the heat sources appear to be located in 2 areas: the central part of the airfield and the logistical section
3/ While not conclusive, this serves as a credible independent indicator suggesting a possible strike on the logistical area - where Russian forces may have stored ammo, or fuel. The fire in the central part of the airfield appears to be near the Radar Landing System
4/ Analysis of high-resolution satellite imagery from yesterday, unavailable for publication due to licensing limits, confirms the presence of at least 16 jets and 1 helicopter at the airfield. The actual number is likely higher, but thick fog blocked the observation

The strike in Kursk that killed a Russian major general also wiped out the entire brigade command. The infamous 155th Brigade is just snakebit.

A Russian milblogger says the entire command of the 155th Brigade was wiped out in the Kursk region after four Ukrainian HIMARS struck with precision. He’s also complaining about poor EW coverage and the low quality of government-made drones.

Even way the hell over in Vladivostok, the 155th can’t escape calamity. Couldn’t happen to a worthier bunch of war criminals.

💥🇷🇺 A gas pipeline explosion near Vladivostok has cut off supply to parts of Russia’s 155th Naval Infantry Brigade, according to RBC-Ukraine. The blast sparked a fire that destroyed sections of the “Vladivostok” pipeline, which powers several military sites along the Sea of Japan coast.

Russians in Horlivka complain that swarms of Ukrainian drones make it perilous to go anywhere in a vehicle.
Russia now destroys its own convoys.
Even from space you can see that this was a serious ass-whipping.
The technical term for this is — it done got blowed up.
Keep hitting it.
On June 30, a missile strike on the same 8th Army command post reportedly killed the army’s chief of communications. Ukrainian sources also claimed the death of the unit’s commander, Colonel Ruslan Goryachkin.
Don’t worry. Russia has plenty of bags of onions for your widows.

Ukraine’s military intelligence agency said it eliminated three Russian drone operators from the Bars-Sarmat unit in a strike on the occupied Kherson region.

Aside from China’s involvement, the fact that drones have to be rushed to the front is a hopeful sign.

This part from a Russian Shahed strike drone was made in China by Suzhou Ecod Precision CNC Manufacturing on "23.05.2025" and packed for shipment on "20.06.2025" meaning it was ready to leave the factory 2-weeks before it was used. This short lead time gives you somewhat...

This short lead time gives you somewhat...of an idea of their production rate versus burn rate which looks like it is almost 1 to 1. This means the drones are used as soon as they leave the factory after final testing and can be transported to launch locations meaning they can produce around +- 200 per day which is the bad part. 2/2
Lately Trump seems to be genuinely shocked that Putin doesn’t want to end the war. Nobody who has been paying attention is shocked.

1/ A recent video of a Russian soldier, likely in his 70s, hobbling to the front line in Ukraine reflects how Russia's army is becoming increasingly elderly. "Now all the personnel are grandfathers ... they are being mowed down," say Russian soldiers. ⬇️

2/ An investigation by the independent Russian news outlet Verstka highlights the changing age profile of the Russian army. Soldiers on the front line have recorded and spoken about the increasing number of "grandfathers" – soldiers over 50s – their units are receiving.
3/ The recruitment of the elderly is being driven by huge casualties. One soldier serving in the Donetsk region says: "Since the beginning of the summer [of 2024], our regiment has lost about half its men, 200s and 300, [killed and wounded] near Chasiv Yar, roughly 500 people."
4/ "They are still sending us additional personnel. Half of those who come are over 50, maybe even more. And not all of them reach their positions."
Here’s one big cultural/political difference between the West and Russia.
If utility prices rose sharply in the West, governments would fall. In Russia it’s like, “Oh well, we have to pay. There’s nothing we can do.”
Thank you Tsar Vladimir for killing our husbands for nothing.

Widows of those killed in the war thank Putin.
President Trump expressed repeated concerns about how many soldiers are dying on both sides of the war.
Putin doesn't seem to care. And apparently, neither do the Russian widows - if we believe they are truly widows.

And if flights were constantly being canceled in a Western country because the government insisted on fighting a war that made the country an international pariah, how long would that government last?
In Russia you don’t have much choice. Protest too loudly and you risk getting a one-way ticket to the front.
Why publish actual numbers when you can just make up some shit?
