2. "Honestly, I used to have an active social life, but with the start of the war I realized that everyone dies alone."
1. A Ukrainian living in Kyiv sent me this:
"The fifth year of the war has arrived, and the biggest paradox and the deepest trauma is that you freeze in anticipation of returning to your previous life, but you understand that returning is not possible, it is an illusion."
(ps 2) My colleague started making strange, impulsive decisions like this one by Trump. No one asked for this ship to be sent to Greenland as it is not needed there. Although this post by Trump seems weird, I suspect things are going to get much wackier.
I think those are hard to get.
This is a really good video about defending against a drone.
2. With the card was a sheet of stamps showing the famous Ukrainian tractor towing a russian tank.

It is interesting that Epstein's contacts were concerned about Donald's dementia in 2017. The comment about "tons of makeup" strongly hint this is about Donald Trump.
(ps) The strange post by Trump, "The first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup." is the sort of thing I was warning about. It probably makes sense inside Trump's head but is nonsensical.
The commentary posted on Substack by Shankar Narayan is worth reading.
No, I still canβt get this out of my head, and I keep trying to grasp the full abyss of this idiocy, unsuccessfully.
Russia spent years, decades "fighting all of NATO," turning America into "radioactive ash" every night on state TV.

Well I was correct, the ballistics attack did materialize last night and the early hours, in an all but predictable attack on power infrastructure.
However, itβs not all going Putinβs way, not in the slightest, in fact itβs getting worse.
I have 10 times the number of followers on Twitter but this same thread received about the same number of likes. I suspect there are a couple of things going on. Part of it is Twitter (X) insisting on more money for posts to be seen. Another reason is a general disengagement with social media.
Glad you found it interesting. π
As a fun fact, I have 10 times the number of followers on Twitter but this same thread received about the same number of likes.

16. In many ways, Little Dragon is an enigmatic drone. If you enjoyed this thread, please repost as a quote. Respectful comments are welcome.
15. This drone is sometimes referred to as an R-15. The numbers in this table are probably only estimates.
14. The russians misidentified this crash as a Rubaka, which is a similar design. But once you know what to look for, it is almost certainly a Little Dragon.
13. One of these drones was recently put on display in the War Museum National Defense University of Ukraine. It's not clear if these drones are still being used in Ukraine.
12. The grey drones used a different engine. Specifically, a STIHL RS90r. It has a fancy intake manifold that places the carburettor behind the engine. The exhaust also looks custom made. These drones have a distinctive prop nut, probably for the starter.
11. Older photos show this drone in grey instead of black. It has different wings so may be an earlier variant. The wing tips and location of ailerons are noticeably different but the fuselage appears the same.
10. One curious detail is that at least two engines had a yellow price-tag label on the valve cover. Although unexpected, this is likely of no significance. Unfortunately, there was no photo of the flight controller.
9. The wing ribs and spar are also very light plywood. The upper and lower wing surfaces are bonded with a white adhesive. The Bars cruise missiles is constructed with a similar or same adhesive (perhaps there is a reason, e.g., same manufacturer).
8. Internal structural elements are very light plywood. Two straps are used to hold the warhead in place. The Army of Drones is a United24 initiative.
7. The rounded wing tip and yellow numbers enable identification even in extreme cases. Look carefully and note how the wing tip on the left (9452) has been run over by a truck.
6. A number of these drones have bright yellow numbers that help with identification. Also helping with identification is the internal structure's pale-yellow colour.
