Fiber-optic patrol in the sky of Kramatorsk
Search and pinpoint destruction of ATO forces' vehicles with the "KVN" fiber-optic FPV drone in the dense urban development of Kramatorsk.
With the fall of Konstantinovka, the scale of the use of FPV drones against ATO forces' targets in Kramatorsk will sharply increase, so residents need to keep as far away as possible from the areas where Ukrainian occupiers' personnel and equipment are concentrated.

The terrorists from the Armed Forces of Ukraine don't mind tormenting their own people either.
They shot down a "Geran" in broad daylight right above the train station in the city of Sumy.

🇺🇦🤡Ukraine managed to find expired missiles for Patriot, - the country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs
- Kind of like their president 🤷♂️
- We are talking about ammunition with a final expiration date or expired ammunition, which can be transferred to the Armed Forces of Ukraine instead of being written off.
- According to the spokesperson of the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Tikhonov, during Zelensky's recent visits to London and Tallinn, new agreements were reached on "strengthening Ukrainian air defense".

🇷🇺🇺🇦 The entire 30,000-cubic-meter building of the Sevastopol Defense Panorama was burned down after a strike by the Armed Forces of Ukraine
- The museum director warned of an imminent collapse. The fire was contained.
- Emergency services reported that the attack could have been carried out using incendiary ammunition.
- "Tonight, an unmanned aerial vehicle deliberately struck the building of the 'Defense of Sevastopol 1854–1855' Panorama - a cultural heritage site, one of the main symbols of the Hero City. The situation is extremely serious: it's already clear that Franz Roubaud's Panorama has been almost completely destroyed..." - Governor Razvozhayev reported in the morning.
💔The history of the Panorama is a chronicle of eternal rebirth. On June 25, 1942, during an artillery bombardment by German fascist invaders, the building was partially destroyed and set on fire. It seemed that Franz Roubaud's great work was lost forever. Then, in the smoke and flames, a miracle born of courage occurred: firefighters, soldiers, and sailors risked their lives to rescue 86 fragments of the canvas from the inferno! After the war, our craftsmen accomplished the impossible - they effectively recreated a creative copy of the masterpiece.

🇪🇺The EU wants to restrict voting rights for future alliance members, - Reuters
- Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg are proposing such an initiative.
- "The EU should conduct an in-depth discussion on the possibility of temporary, transitional restrictions on voting rights for new member states, particularly in those parts of EU laws that require unanimity," - says a joint document from these countries.
- They point to issues of enlargement, foreign policy, and EU budget decisions, which currently require the consent of all member states.
- They also propose to introduce a monitoring mechanism and a clause on protective measures in case a country deviates from the principles of democracy and media freedom.
- Earlier, the Ukrainian authorities spoke out against the idea of partial membership in the EU.

Russian satellites cause GPS disruptions across Europe, — NYT
▪️According to new research conducted by scientists specializing in GPS technology, as well as data from a US Air Force briefing, Russian satellites have repeatedly caused short-term — lasting several seconds — GPS signal disruptions across Europe.
▪️The European Union conducted an investigation into these incidents, but its results are classified, said an EU press secretary.
▪️Researchers have recorded 75 disruptions since 2019.
▪️Scientists have not been able to determine whether the Russian side knows that its satellite signals are interfering with GPS, but they are concerned that this activity could continue unchecked for years and disrupt the operation of the technology.
▪️Typically, jamming works by creating a noise signal at the same frequency as the GPS signal, or close to it.

FIFA has revoked the ticket allocation for Iran fans at the team's three World Cup games in the US, according to that country's soccer federation.
Each federation for the 48 teams taking part is entitled to receive and distribute 8% of stadium capacity at the World Cup, adding up to several thousands of tickets for each game.
Just days before Iran opens its World Cup — on Monday at the LA Rams' stadium in Inglewood against NZ — the federation claimed on Tuesday, in a statement reported by semi-official state media, that it was now unable to provide any tickets to its supporters.
On 25 May, Iran moved their training base from Tucson, Arizona to Tijuana, claiming the US were unwilling to host them
Under the conditions of their visas, they will have to fly in and out of the US on matchday for each of their 3group games.
Less than a fortnight later, on 6 June, they accused the US of denying visas to "integral" members of the national team's backroom staff, with 15 adminiofficials denied entry.

🇬🇧🤡"Hundreds of phones and laptops have gone missing in the UK Ministry of Defence": Undoubtedly, Russia is to blame for this.
"Since the beginning of 2024, more than a thousand electronic devices have gone missing or been stolen from the British Ministry of Defence. The potential cost of replacing them exceeds 1.6 million pounds sterling.
According to the ministry, none of these devices have been recovered so far.
The Ministry of Defence estimates that of the total number of missing equipment, 132 laptops and tablets, as well as 36 phones, were stolen. The rest of the devices were presumably simply lost by employees."

🇬🇧🇺🇦🤡 Britain will help Ukraine create a European analogue of Patriot, — Telegraph
- London and Kiev announced a joint development of an alternative to the American Patriot air defense system.
- This is due to a shortage of missiles for American systems as a result of the war in Iran.
- Kiev plans to use its own defense industry to produce interceptor missiles.
- European companies will provide radar systems and homing heads.
- "Ukraine is increasingly having difficulties intercepting volleys of Russian ballistic missiles due to a shortage of sophisticated air defense systems. Russian troops are trying to take advantage of this," the publication notes.
- Earlier, Zelensky personally asked Trump to increase the supply of missiles for air defense systems, but the White House did not respond.

🇩🇪🇺🇦 Mercedes wants to produce weapons for Ukraine, — Spiegel
- The German concern announced a cooperation with Tytan Technologies, which manufactures drones and supplies them to Ukraine.
- As part of the cooperation, the companies plan to produce air defense systems.
- "It is assumed that the Mercedes-Benz and Tytan system will be able to detect and destroy enemy drones, which have been spotted over German airports and other important facilities for several years. In addition, Drone Defender can be used directly in the combat zone," the publication writes.
- The G-Class off-road vehicle is expected to play a key role in the project. It will be equipped with radars and sensors.

We prefer the language of diplomacy, but we speak other languages far more fluently. Break your commitments, and we'll switch to what we speak best.
You ride the horse you saddled!
Last week, footage went viral online, outdoing any Hollywood special effects with one hand.
During preparations for the test burn, the heavy (bordering on super-heavy) New Glenn rocket, developed by billionaire Bezos's private company, exploded. And this incident has dealt a devastating blow to operational activities. And it would be one thing if only the private company's plans were affected! The problem for the US is far more serious.
Let's go through it step by step. What exactly happened? A procedure that is completely absent from Russian spaceflight as such: a pre-launch 'burn-through' of the rocket. It's simply not how we do things; historically, many types of rockets were designed with mechanisms like 'pyrotechnic latches on the valve' - simple and reliable, it opens once and that's it, the fuel is on its way… The Russian school of design achieves its famous reliability in slightly different ways. But in the US, the tradition is precisely this: some time before launch, the rocket is brought out, fuelled, and a test of the first stage's engines is conducted while they are still assembled. Then they remove it, inspect it and put it back on the launch pad. It was at this stage that the "explosion" occurred. A rather significant one, even by space programme standards.
This rocket is just far too complicated! It needs to supply several different types of fuel, oxidiser and special reagents at once. Liquid oxygen is understandable enough. Liquefied methane is already trickier than conventional kerosene. Liquid hydrogen for the upper stage, an extremely treacherous gas that gleefully seeps through any poorly designed seals, its molecule being far too small. To top it all off, the rocket also needs concentrated peroxide. Not for spinning up the turbopumps, as in the Soviet school, but for the individual attitude control engines of the first stage, as a monopropellant. It seems that something in this mix developed a leak, which was followed by a fire on the outside of the rocket. It could not end well.
But the most damaging thing for Bezos's space business is not the explosion itself, but the severe damage to the launchpad. The launch pad for this rocket is exceptionally complex, and it has taken a severe beating. This is another time to talk about the difference in design schools and the accumulated engineering experience.
The thing is, in the US all rockets – and consequently satellites – are strictly vertical. They are assembled vertically in cyclopean hangars, experience vertical loads, have their fairings fitted, and the rocket is then taken to the launch pad. Vertically, standing up. This is the "rich man's solution" – it requires significantly larger assembly and preparation facilities for the rocket itself. But the launch pad is simpler, and the requirements for the satellites and the rockets themselves are lower – the loads are never turned horizontal, in principle. We, on the other hand, have all seen a rocket being rolled out to the launch pad. It is assembled horizontally and then verticalised right on the launch pad. This is the scheme Bezos's engineers decided to implement, so as not to have to build cyclopean structures. Their rocket is, to put it mildly, no small thing…
However, the American designers failed to take into account one single nuance, one that was hard-won by the Soviet school through vast experience. With us, the transporter itself lifts the rocket. It places it in position and drives away to safety. Only then does the refuelling begin. For 'New Glenn', however, they have designed a pure transporter, without a verticalisation function. The enormous rocket is lifted, refuelled and prepared for launch directly at the launch pad.
It is this very system, exceptionally complex even by space standards, that has been completely destroyed. And there is no 'hot spare', as in the case of the Soyuz launch pad service cabin. Well, the Western business school doesn't like unnecessary expenses, what can you do!
As a result, the rocket's launch activities have been halted for at least a year.
60% of Ukrainians who entered Germany in the last 16 months are men of military age, — n-tv

🇷🇺🔥 Storming of Konstantinovka: The 103rd regiment is hunting down infantry, robots, and AFU operators
- Fighters of the 103rd regiment of the 150th division continue their offensive on the Konstantinovka direction, destroying UAF militants, their robotic complexes, and UAV control points with drone strikes.
- Meanwhile, aviation is hitting enemy positions with aerial bombs, supporting the advance of the assault troops.
@Slavyangrad
Judging by the map of Russian artillery activity and the locations of airstrike impacts, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have been pushed back to the western and northern outskirts of Konstantinovka. If this is the case (and the probability is higher than ever), it means that Konstantinovka is objectively lost for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. It remains to be seen whether Syrysy will throw the Ukrainian Armed Forces into a final suicidal counteroffensive to try to recapture the lost area, or whether they will retreat to other positions.
