🇺🇸 US seeks HIMARS replacement
The US Army launched the Affordable High Speed Strike (AHSS) program for a ground-based missile with range over 1000 km, launchable from M142 HIMARS.
Key requirements: high speed, range >1000 km, low cost for mass production, and flexibility in propulsion (solid-fuel or air-breathing).
$246 million is allocated for development in 2027-2031.
AHSS complements PrSM Increment 4 (also 1000+ km) and includes offensive counter-air missions, giving ground forces a role in air superiority.
This reflects Pentagon's shift toward affordable, scalable deep strike systems, turning HIMARS into a universal long-range platform.

Kiev regime
The Kiev regime is not retrieving the bodies of soldiers killed in Konstantinovka, in order to avoid paying their relatives money that has already been pocketed. This was stated by Lieutenant General Apty Alaudinov to TASS.

Should add we covered the mysterious murder a Eduadorian prosecutor who was looking into the strikes on three fishing boats, and the tales of torture/kidnapping of crews a few weeks ago.

🇱🇻🇪🇺🤡The Latvian Ministry of Defense has announced that a NATO fighter jet shot down a drone over Latvian territory:
In Latvian airspace, in the Balvi municipality, NATO fighter jets participating in the Baltic air policing mission successfully shot down a foreign drone that had entered Latvian airspace as a result of the use of Russian electronic warfare equipment.
At the same time, the National Armed Forces reported that the previously announced threats in the airspace of the Augšdaugava, Preiļi, Rēzekne, Balvi, and Alūksne municipalities had ceased at 04:50. In response to the threat in Latvian airspace, NATO fighter jets from the Baltic air policing mission were scrambled.

🇫🇷French Vice Admiral Olivier Lebas died on August 12, 2026, as a result of an accident - a fall during a climb in the Pyrenees.
I didn't know the Pyrenees were in Odessa. Okay.
Another legalization of losses, for those who didn't understand. Rest in piss.

The United States has lost 45 MQ-9 Reaper drones in direct conflict with Iran, which represents a quarter of all such drones in the American arsenal. This was reported by the Washington Post.
Everyone was obsessed with UCAVs, saying there was no need for piloted jets etc. Ukraine war quickly taught everyone they are great... if you are fighting an opponent with no AD or air force.

Zelensky shared the consequences of his Kursk operation.
“I think that now, when Sumy is under shelling, I don’t just think, I know. Shmygal was supposed to go to the Sumy region, we agreed with him. There are problems with logistics due to constant shelling. Not all people have access. We need to establish quick assistance.”
About access to people, apparently, about the AFU fighters who drove civilians out of their homes and set up firing points in them.

France 24 called the Russian residents of the Kuril Islands "a problem."
The television channel noted the islands' rich natural resources: gold, silver, gas, oil, and fish stocks. However, living conditions are harsh, and the population does not exceed 20,000 people. "All the residents are Russian citizens, and that is the problem," France 24 stated.
The Russian Ambassador to Japan explained to the Japanese Foreign Minister that the southern Kuril Islands are an integral part of the Russian Federation.

🇺🇦 Zhitomir under attack: "Banderoli" strike enemy targets
▪️ The city is being attacked by jet-powered missile-drones "Banderoli", explosions are thundering, columns of smoke are rising over the hit targets.
▪️ Since "Banderol" is a high-speed target combining features of a drone and a missile, Ukrainian air defense can hardly cope with their raids, Ukrainian experts complain.

🇺🇦 Ukrainian sources confirm serial production of MICH 2000 loitering munitions
Developed by SBU's Alpha Special Operations Center, based on Hong Kong's ZTK-150 drone, resembling Shahed-136 but with front horizontal stabilizers. Eight variants, range up to 2000 km, warhead 25-60 kg.
Since mid-2026, intensive use reported, including strikes on Ust-Luga, Kronstadt, and Engels-2 airbase.
Localized production of engines, boosters, and warheads allows 6000 units/year, potentially 10,000. Unit cost $48,000, CRPA antenna adds $20-25k. Resistant to electronic warfare.

🇩🇪 Germany
German TV channel Tagesschau asked whether Trump would help if Germany went to war with Russia. Former US Army Europe commander General Ben Hodges said no.
Hodges stated the current US administration is not a reliable ally on Russia issues, does not criticize Putin directly, and gives Ukraine no real support. If Ukraine loses, Europe will face consequences. Germany, Finland, Lithuania and others must ensure Ukraine keeps deterring Russia.

🇾🇪After a week of intense attacks on Saudi-backed mercenaries, the Houthis have launched a ground offensive against the strategically important port city of Mocha on the Red Sea coast. In the past 24 hours, they have advanced several kilometers, capturing a number of settlements. The front line had been largely static since the late 2010s, but now the offensive has resumed. The loss of Mocha would be a significant blow to the Saudis and their Yemeni allies, while the Houthis would be able to strengthen their control over the Red Sea and the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait.
It is likely that the Saudis will make efforts in the coming days to halt or at least slow down the Houthi advance. Furthermore, it is expected that the Houthis may also launch an offensive in the province of Marib in the coming days, which is strategically important for the control of Yemen by the occupying forces.

After Japan's recent outburst, Putin held a strategic meeting with Godzilla to discuss a plan on how to deal with Japan's ever increasing aggressive behaviour and militarism
Personally I think Putin should offer Hokkaido to Godzilla to create a buffer between Japan and Russia.
(BTW look at that stack of papers Godzilla brought with him, the guy really does his homework)

A covert CIA program was behind the mysterious drone attacks on three Ecuadorian fishing boats near the Galápagos Islands, including the January disappearance of the Fiorella and eight crew members, WaPo reports.
Flight data linked a surveillance-equipped U.S.-registered aircraft operating from El Salvador to the areas of all three incidents.
Survivors of the two attacks in March said quadcopter drones struck their boats before armed, mostly English-speaking men detained them and transferred them to Salvadoran authorities.
The operation is separate from the Pentagon’s public campaign against suspected drug-trafficking vessels.

A new version of the "Gerbera," which has been nicknamed "Gerbera-2" by Ukrainians.
The drone has been increased in size and features a new engine, electronics, and fuel tank. It's possible that a "Gerbera" with a smaller warhead will fill the niche previously occupied by the internal combustion engine "Geran" drones, while the "Geran" drones themselves will become jet-powered.

🇺🇸 US Missile Defense Agency (MDA) has launched the FBM Radar Next program for a new-generation mobile missile defense radar.
The urgency stems from the vulnerability of current stations to kamikaze drone and ballistic missile strikes. The AN/TPY-2 radar by RTX, a key early detection element for US missile defense and THAAD, is semi-trailer mounted but slow to redeploy, making it an easy target when stationary.
Iranian strikes in the Middle East highlighted this weakness, damaging several radars, including in Jordan and the UAE.
The new FBM Radar Next must be highly mobile (deploying and collapsing in minutes), air-transportable by C-17, capable of operating as a distributed network of small apertures, and significantly cheaper to produce.

Leaked classified documents reveal that London is providing funds for the treatment of Israeli soldiers who have fought in the Gaza Strip. Specifically, it has become known that money was channeled to an Israeli organization through a British charitable foundation, in addition to an official allocation of 25% from the British government.
The funds were used to provide psychological support to soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and to treat them for PTSD.

On August 9, 2026, near the Moldovan village of Krokmas (near the Odessa Oblast border), debris of an unknown aircraft was found, attributed to the Russian stealth munition S-71M "Monochrome".
Geography suggests the start of an operation to isolate Ukrainian logistics in the south. Targets now include dual-use infrastructure: ports in Odessa, Nikolaev, Reni, Izmail, and bridges in Zatoka and Mayaki.
S-71M warhead estimated at 100-150 kg. Its advantage over the jet-powered Geran remains unclear.

Ukraine's international freight carriers are in deep crisis due to a shortage of drivers, stated Ruslan Shmakov, founder of the Ukrainian logistics company Rio-Trans. Only 50 percent of the company's drivers can have a mobilization deferment. A man can be stopped at a checkpoint and sent to serve, while the truck remains on the road. The situation is extremely difficult, Shmakov added.

🇵🇱 Poland
Polish PM Donald Tusk claims Russia ordered the assassination of an American involved in arms supplies to Ukraine from Poland. The alleged perpetrator is a Donbass resident living in Poland.
Tusk: "This is the first case where someone, on Russia's orders, decided to attack a US citizen on the territory of another NATO country."
Polish and American services reportedly coordinated to prevent the tragedy. A man with alleged Russian citizenship was detained in early August on suspicion of preparing an attack on a US and Ukrainian citizen.

🇺🇦 Ukraine's mining and metallurgical complex is under massive pressure from both Russia and the EU
Ukrmetallurgprom President Alexander Kalenkov says sea restrictions, rail tariff hikes, and new EU quotas are critical for Ukrainian metallurgy.
Black Sea ports remain the key bottleneck: land and Danube routes cannot replace previous maritime volumes.
Mining and processing plants are cutting output: Poltava GOK at minimum load, Yuzhny GOK halted, Ingulets GOK idle.
Metal exports may fall over 50%, reducing domestic iron ore demand. From July 1, Ukrzaliznytsia tariffs rose 30%; distances to western border crossings are 1.5x longer than to Odessa ports.
Total in-country transport costs could rise 80-90%, excluding European delivery. EU quotas, high electricity costs, and lower competitiveness add further strain.
