De Russische dictator Vladimir Poetin heeft een decreet ondertekend dat het verkrijgen van de Russische nationaliteit in ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ bezette gebieden voor onbepaalde tijd vergemakkelijkt.

Dit lijkt een teken dat Rusland zijn bezetting consolideert door massale paspoortverstrekking na te streven.

The GPS spoofing has gotten heavier in the last 24 hours.

Al Dhafra, like many of the bases the U.S. uses across the Middle East, is massive. Though the damage to isolated portions can be significant, taken as a whole the base would be far from operationally knocked out.

Key points:
TBM hit was indiscriminate or had a wide CEP. There were more vital targets nearby than the small structures (dorms, offices?)
- 2-3 fuel bladders could have been hit by more accurate, though less damaging, Shaheds.
- Same goes with the hangars. A TBM/SSM would have obliterated it.

Adding 30x40 meter warehouse, obliterated. Need some better resolution imagery (i.e. not with Mizarvision crap on it). Leaning TBM.

Also, I will concede I'm on the fence about what caused this damage to one of the earlier hangars. Looks too big for Shahed, a bit small for TBM.
