Ukraine struck a Russian electronics plant with a massive drone swarm. Russia, of course, claims all drones were shot down.

The last time this plant was hit was in January.

x Overnight in Bryansk, drones struck the "Kremniy EL" microelectronics plant — again. OSINT sources report multiple hits. The factory produces parts for "Pantsir" air defenses and "Iskander" missiles. It's the fifth attack on the site since the war began.

The Kremniy EL plant in Bryansk is one of Russia’s largest microelectronics manufacturers, producing integrated circuits, diodes, transistors, and other components. The facility supplies parts for the Pantsir air defense systems and Iskander missile systems. The plant has previously been targeted multiple times by Ukrainian drones. For instance, on January 24, six drones struck the facility — no casualties were reported at the time, but the attack caused damage to production facilities and warehouses, temporarily halting operations.

Russians discover that quad bikes offer zero protection from mines.

Tetykino is the town right on the border with Ukraine that is west of the main area where the fighting occurred in Kursk.

x A Ukrainian Air Force MiG-29 carried out an airstrike using several AASM "HAMMER" bombs on a sugar factory in Tetykino (Kursk region), where Russian FPV drones and equipment were reportedly stored.

This is a Russian low-altitude radar system going bavovna in Kursk.

This must have been a somewhat delicate operation.

x Operators from the 1st Tank Brigade freed three Ukrainian soldiers from captivity using drones. First, they separated the prisoners from the Russian with air drops, then moved them to safe positions, while the Russians were destroyed.

Blogging is dangerous in Russia.

They tried to cut off Fyodor Orlov's finger with scissors.

They broke 8 ribs and 5 spinal vertebrae of Alexander Zheltukhin, also strangled him with a bag and electrocuted him.

Ukraine should tell Putin to take his limited ceasefire on his terms and shove it up his ass.

Russia hasn’t changed its terms for a peace agreement — they remain ridiculous and demonstrate that Russia won’t be serious about peace until it is beaten and humiliated on the battlefield.

x Russia has put forward its terms for "peace," which essentially contradict the proposals of the United States. These were announced by Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov.

Pistorius is correct: Ukraine could have surrendered without American help.

Maybe Trump can write Kim another love letter.

x Kim Jong Un confirmed troop deployment to Russia under the mutual defense treaty, per Yonhap. The U.S. urged Pyongyang to halt deployments and called on Moscow to stop backing North Korea.

The United States is deeply concerned.
