...and another example of a recent Ukrainian assassination: high ranking Russian Roman Vnukov, known for his involvement in running torture camps for Ukrainians in occupied territory. This time just showing the aftermath rather than the assassination itself: Of course, in this case, he just directed the torture: there's still dozens if not hundreds of Russians who worked under him who also need to be executed. But it's a good start. View quoted note →

Ukrainians have started a new "bingo card" recording hits on logistics warehouses in Russia, now that two major warehouse locations have been totally destroyed: There was actually a third location hit, in part by Russia's own anti-aircraft fire. But unfortunately that warehouse didn't catch on fire strongly like the other ones. View quoted note →

...and the unboxing video, where Sean installs the new training simulator on their main gun and try it out: It's a very clever design: since these large AA guns are aimed by IR camera anyway, the simulator is simply be a tablet with an IMU and trigger switch. The IMU figures out where the gun is pointed, and the software simulates where the bullets would go if you had been shooting for real. The tablet itself just straps on in front of the screen the IR camera would be connected to. _Far_ cheaper than a purpose built simulator. With the advantage that they can train while on position, whenever nothing is happening: View quoted note →

Allegedly the moment when Russian military engineer Andrey Tisarev was assassinated on behalf of Ukraine, in Samara, Russia. He was head of thermal physics and gas dynamics at an enterprise that manufacturers and services engines for Russia's strategic bombers and helicopters. Impressive stuff. They found the right time and simply stabbed him in the neck: https://x.com/i/status/2078536069499297907

My interview with Sean Francis, from the _civilian_ volunteer anti-air unit that I supported with a donated training simulator. He explains how he, a former American marine, ended up doing real estate in Kyiv, and volunteering his time to do anti-air defense as a civilian. I also filmed Sean explaining how the gun and simulator worked, and the unit trying it out for the first time. I got a chance to try it to, and managed to down a simulated shahed. 😂 Working on editing that footage. Most of the ~$6k cost came from the $LADA memecoin community; some of it came from Bitcoin donations. Thank you to those who donated! bc1qdds28nk2n69kc2zh0y62flnxarsp2lv80tn8t5

3D Print Army: Supporting Ukraine's Defense with 3D Prints

3D Print Army: A Ukrainian community creating useful military tools for defending Ukraine. We make scopes, drone tools, powerbanks, and more using ...

These guys accept Bitcoin donations, and are using those donations to buy explosives and other supplies to build weapons for drones. You sure as hell can't fundraise for this with PayPal! 😂

'"A Russian missile killed an entire family. Will this photograph stop the war? Most likely not. But I believe the world needs to see the truth," said photographer Yefrem Lukatsky. "I hope those whom this photograph will cause pain can forgive me. Kyiv, July 6, 2026," Lukatsky added.'

Red Bull gives you wings! Sometimes angel wings.

...and right on cue, the far left psychos have started gearing up to try to get Ukraine to stop fighting: Russians pay taxes, about 50% of which go directly to paying for a genocidal invasion. They're no different than the soldiers using the weapons they've paid for. Merely blowing up their oil refineries and power plants is already a kindness that they do not deserve. There is nothing ethically wrong with Ukraine intentionally killing so called Russian "civilians" to collapse the Russian war effort faster. This is doubly true for the ~1 million Russians who have moved to occupied Ukraine, forcing out the Ukrainian population and stealing their homes in the process. They're clearly war criminals directly participating in genocide.

The videos from the latest Ukrainian attack on Moscow are wild. Though the funniest has got to be how Russian anti-air defense seems to have blown up an oil tank: The only Russian anti-air defenses proven to work. Tower cranes:

Ukrainian FP-5 Flamingo cruise missile en route to Cheboksary, Russia: That thing is huge, 40ft long, with no stealth. You can just imagine the (remaining) Russian radar operators...

“Video with subtitles of yesterday’s attempted beheading of a young British man by a Somali migrant in Belfast. It’s a hard watch but Europeans must see it. Those who intervened and smashed a shovel over the attackers’ head are heroes They most likely saved that young man’s life” https://x.com/i/status/2064303968973394213 Guarantee you that the UK will extend their on-device "nudity filters" to preventing videos like this from being shared.

What did they call the man who combined his love of artistic expression with his skill in electrical engineering? Power Banksy

Bitcoin^H^H^H Martial Law fixes this.

Nice video of two Ukrainian fixed wing, medium range, drones taking out a Russian truck deep within occupied Ukraine. The first one doesn't work. But the second... This is a new development. It's looking like Ukraine will be able to shutdown the main highway through occupied Ukraine from Russia to Crimea, leaving only the Crimea bridge as an option.
