On Saturday Morning (local time), Russia launched one of its largest missile/drone attacks since the beginning of the war, which seems to be a recurring pattern as of late.

The Russians attacked Kyiv with over 40 ballistic missiles, six of which were reportedly Zircon hypersonic missiles, and 120 attack drones.

According to some sources, only a few missiles were intercepted during the attack, despite Ukraine receiving a small number of PAC-3 missiles from Europe.

BERLIN, GERMANY – Over a week since the renewal of fighting in Iran, the United States’ mission in the Middle East has apparently shifted. American forces bombed targets in Iran’s northwest and southwest and launched munitions at targets at Bandar Imam Khomeini and Bushehr along Iran’s Persian Gulf coast. Iran launched projectiles at American forces throughout the region as well, and Bahrain and Kuwait said they intercepted munitions launched by Iran. Several commercial tankers were struck as well within the Strait of Hormuz.

BERLIN, GERMANY – Overnight on Sunday, Russia launched a massive barrage of munitions at Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital and leading city, in what is likely one of the biggest bombardments the city has endured since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022. At least six people were killed in the attacks and dozens wounded, figures that could increase as the full extent of the destruction is uncovered.

Ukraine Is Forcing Russia to Hide Aircraft, Move Ships and Defend Refineries. The Pentagon Faces the Same Drone Problem: Ukraine has turned exposed Russian aircraft, ships, fuel facilities, and transportation links into recurring targets, forcing Moscow to build shelters, relocate naval units, disperse aircraft, and spread air defenses across a growing number of sites. A Washington Post assessment published July 20 argues that the campaign in occupied Crimea gives U.S. military planners a current case study in how inexpensive unmanned systems can impose large costs on a much richer force.

In the aftermath of two American soldiers officially being declared killed, the Trump administration’s Energy Secretary Chris Wright informed the media that the US mission in Iran is no longer about destroying Iran’s alleged nuclear weapons program or even regime change.

Instead, the American energy chief defined the US military’s mission as centered on ensuring the continued flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz (SoH) to keep the world’s energy markets functioning.

Russia launched one of its largest ballistic missile and drone barrages of the war at Kyiv overnight.

The hours-long attack damaged several multi-story residential buildings, a supermarket, and a dormitory, leaving at least one person dead and 16 others wounded, three seriously, according to Mayor Vitali Klitschko.

Shenyang’s design lost the stealth-fighter competition that made Chengdu’s J-20 famous, flew for years as a self-funded demonstrator nobody ordered, and was written off abroad as a knockoff without a mission.
